Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Ali Roghani:

To load a DHS data file directly into R without using Stata or SPSS, you can use the haven package. Here's an example of how to do it:

library(haven) 
data <- read_dta("your_directory/your_file_name.DTA")

You should use your file path in the read_dta function.
