Back to basics South Devon site a half-hour walk from the coast path
A 35-minute drive from Dartmouth and Salcombe on the Dart estuary
Manor house grounds setting with wildlife on site and trail access

South Allington House is a sweet spot for a South Devon getaway. Just a half-hour's walk away from the coastal path, this small and sheltered site is family run and popular with young families (some of which have carried on visiting for generations). It’s a peaceful and back to basics setup here, but not without a grand setting in the grounds of a manor house. The spacious grass pitches have good access to plentiful facilities, including a spacious toilet and shower block as well as laundry facilities. You won’t just share the four-acre grounds with other guests; following RSPB advice, there are areas specially made for local birds and wildlife, including badgers, foxes, horseshoe bats, ducklings and frogs (many of whom have taken up permanent residence). The rural hamlet is well situated too. It’s a 35-minute drive from the site to Salcombe (or less if you take the East Portlemouth ferry, which departs 10 minutes’ drive away) and Dartmouth on the Dart estuary. Stunning Devon beaches are in the surrounding area (take note of Lannacombe within walking distance and East Portlemouth beach, 15 minutes’ drive away), but if your first focus is hiking to soak up some of the scenery, there are easily accessible walking and cycling trails nearby in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Matthew P. Sept 2023

Unpowered grass site

Liked: What a great location in a beautiful part of Devon. The campsite is in a beautiful spot in a valley. The pitch was ample size for our Campervan. Even though the site was full, it never felt crowded. The toilet and wash facilities were clean and in good working order. Would recommend a stay.

Disliked: No wifi, which could be seen as a positive if you want to get away from it all.

Tim B. Aug 2023

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Quiet site with plenty of hot water.

Disliked: Facilities were not clean, they defiantly had not been cleaned during our 3 night stay. There was green algae on the men's shower floor, meaning they had not been cleaned for weeks. There is a large deep pond with no fencing and poisonous plants in the camping field, not very good for children.
