Dartmoor area camping


I'm think g of planning a ride from north Devon to south Devon with an over night stop on Dartmoor. Does anyone know a good spot for stopping on Dartmoor?

I'm a keen wild camper and have done nights on foot via the car but never on the bike. I like a good wild camp spot or bare minimal camp site. The less kids and people the better!

I've done long distance trips on the bike before and camped on lanes on the way, best tactic I found was just settling on the next suitable spot once it passes a certain time of day.

The trouble with picking a spot well in advance is you have no idea what sort of progress you will make, unless you either want to be sitting about looking at the grass grow, or in a mad rush to get nowhere special and not enjoying the trip

Plus when it's dark, everywhere is a good spot ;)

I did once have a 4x4 fly by long after dark tho, so perhaps setup behind something solid

Yeah I used this map last year, I usually stay around black torr and meldon reservoir.

I'm looking for ideas from anyone who knows any good lanes with good spots along them as to where I could camp over and plan on a few options depending on progress.

191 083/084 could be a good shout as a place to watch out for too. Nice distance away!
