Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked: stunning location relaxed attitude lovely hosts no pitches - park where you like fires allowed great facilities lovely owners dog friendly huge sense of space

Disliked: It would be great if the directions told you to avoid the very steep corner up to the site. My friend damaged her van on that corner. There was no sign on the road to the site and our Sat Navs sent us both down the hill to that nasty corner. Quite a bit of rubbish left by other campers. Small bits of plastic wrapping etc. Concerned that rubbish will end up in the sea.

Liked: Great views and easy access to the coast path. Lovely day circular walk to Woody bay via the pub. Clean and well maintained facilities. Lovely campsite!

Disliked: No signal but that is just the countryside! And a nice excuse to have no interruptions from the outside world!

Local attractions

Getting your seaside fix isn’t hard from South Dean Camping. Combe Martin (five minutes’ drive) is a very scenic spot, and all that scenery is extra special when you’re on a rented kayak or paddleboard just off shore. The village is home to the Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (10 minutes) too, a zoo and prehistoric park for just as an attractive day out. More coastal spots include the surfing hotspot at Woolacombe Beach (25 minutes), Ilfracombe’s busy harbour (20 minutes) or the Valley of Rocks (20 minutes) for all things coastal walks and dramatic sea views. For a little of the historic, settle in for the funicular railway in the villages of Lynton and Lynmouth (20 minutes) or potter around the country house and gardens at Arlington Court (15 minutes). Barnstaple (30 minutes), a gorgeous riverside town, is the go-to place for Tarka Trail bike rides. If it’s a walk you’d rather, Dunkery & Horner Wood National Nature Reserve (40 minutes) has a great loop among the ancient oaks.
