  • Tents-only, wild-style campsite in a private Devon woodland
  • A 15-minute drive from Teignmouth and the coast; 20 minutes to Exeter
  • Individual firepits, chef-staffed woodland kitchen and foraging walks
Pitch up in a peaceful woodland clearing near the south coast of Devon and treat yourself to spectacular views across the Ashcombe Valley. Several beaches in nearby Teignmouth and Dawlish can be reached in under 20 minutes by car, plus you'll have access to chef-cooked meals from the site's woodland kitchen (please check in advance for opening times) and foraging walks to help you get closer to the local landscape. If you don't want to bring food, ask in advance for a local meat and vegetable delivery. Ashcombe Woodland Campsite has well-maintained basic facilities including shared toilets and a washing-up space. There are also individual firepits provided for guests who like a bit of outdoor grilling, or you can bring your own barbecue. Off-road parking is available a short distance away from the pitches, which are surrounded by footpaths that you can follow through leafy woodlands. You'd also do well to bring bikes here for cycles down to the sea or around nearby Haldon Forest Park (15 minutes). Two miles away, Ashcombe Adventure Centre has a wide range of activities you can get stuck into, including a huge clay pigeon area, off-road quad bikes, archery and paintball. Not much further afield you have Exeter (20 minutes) for shopping, sightseeing and exploring Devon's most visit-worthy urban corners. Ashcombe Woodland Campsite operates on a leave-no-trace basis, so please take all your rubbish home with you.
