Hi Matt
We towed the caravan up here a couple of years ago. http://www.langstone-manor.co.uk/index.htm
Walk 100 yds up the road and you're on the open moor. Good site, decent bar, hot showers, not too commercial and really quite small. I can't remember if we ate there but it would be worth checking out.
Hope this helps,
Martin

I was in Devon/Cornwall on business recently, saved the firm's expenses by taking a tent and trangia, I stopped here: http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/details.asp?Package=1338 as it was conveniently close to Okehampton/A30 (just West of the town).
Decent beer garden and pub food, cheap pitch for the tent and no coins required for the showers, site was small but not crowded, I'd stay there again.

Do you mean free places or campsites? Here is a list of Dartmoor Campsites, but most of them are around the edge of the moors. I can recommend either West Dartmoor near Tavistock or South-East near Ashburton. The Hills around Chagford have some quite places to pull in.

Not sure whether you mean a camper or motorhome (some people don't know the difference). We've done Dartmoor, Bodmin and Exmoor for free. There are loads of car parks and view points that no-one uses late afternoon or evening. I can't tell you a place because we never note them just go with the flow. The worst that can happen is a Ranger or bobby asks you to move on. It has NEVER happened to us. Well once on the Sandringham when the Ranger knocked the next morning and said, "Would you move on after breakfast please, her Royal Highness does not allow overnight camping"!
In a motorhome it's a bit easier just find a public loo every few days to empty the loo and when you fill up with fuel you'll find most garages especially the smaller franchises are happy to let you have water.
If it's a camper (we used to have a MH and now a camper), unless you have a loo, it'll be cat scrapes.
I can't see the point in using the camper during the day and then going to a site to park up. I can do that in beautiful scenery elsewhere. Waking up to a mist with ponies walking through it is just fantastic.
