    How about Hillhead at Brixham? It’s not far to Dartmouth.

    It's a bit late now to be booking, tbh.

    Just had a look at Hillhead and there is still limited space depending on how long you wanted to be there. As TW says it is quite near Dartmouth but on the wrong side of the river so if you were going there for the celebrations you would need to find out about your escape route at that time of night!!!

    Take the road back to Totnes and on to Brixham was my thought as I doubt the ferries run at that time of night.

    There is always the 'other' club which has a site on the right side of the river...unfortunately (?) no club house etc...but next to a pub..

    Their sites are closed for the winter, there used to be a popular commercial site close to Dartmouth but that has gone. If Hillhead is full try Beverley Park which is nearby or similar. Rally groups use Beverley Park so it's a popular venue.

    The Dart ferries run till quite late but not after midnight but if you've got a car you can drive there via Totnes on the A385 west of Paignton.

    Here's the link for the Hillhead festive schedule. It has changed over the years, not quite as much available as previously.
