Just recieved email back after enquiring for whitsun bank holiday £143 for 3 nights for family of 5 dont think so !!

Is it just me that thinks this isn't too bad (considering the prices being charged at the moment) for a family of 5 on a bank holiday at a site such as River Dart? Yes it does seem excessive at first but I'd assume that's including ehu and all the kids are at the age where they need to be payed for. Prices being what they are right now I reckon you'd be hard pushed to get a similar site in the area at a cheaper price for a bank holiday.

if you just want to be close to dartmoor, try these 2

family of 4 with EHU 2 weekends ago £20 per night

and not been here but good reviews on here and from work colleagues

£15 per night in july

both will be slighly more expensive for 5 of you,

We're paying £237 for a week at river dart in August.  Thats for 2 adults and 2 kids with no EHU.  I thought that £34 a night was ok considering the location and facilities.  To go as day visitors it would cost us £27.80 per day anyway.

I think it's relative.  We could camp a lot cheaper in a field somewhere but then we would pay more in terms of activities & days out for the kids.  A basic  2 bed static in devon for the same week was coming up at £641.
