Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: We loved our stay at Cove Camping, so much so we extended our stay! Alice was very welcoming, thoughtful and checking in was a dream. There are such stunning views from this site and just a short walk down to the beaches. Ideal for our family. The showers were lovely and hot and the compost toilets were well kept. My partner always comments on the showers on campsites and usually they aren't to his liking but he really liked the ones here. There was loads of room for my children to fly kites, kick a ball about without disturbing other people's peace. The sky at night was gorgeous; you can see so many stars and constellations. The sunset was also absolutely gorgeous! The compost toilets were a brilliant learning opportunity for my children. My son particularly loves the instructional posters. Also, not that it's about money, but an absolute steal for £25 a night! I honestly can't recommend it highly enough!

Disliked: Nothing at all. We jolly well loved it!!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: The location, View was incredible! We loved how out in the wilderness it was and the use of compost toilets / shower cubicles was very eco friendly.

Disliked: When it rained it was hard to drive up the field - wheel spinner but the hosts made sure to let us know of a different way to drive to prevent this

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Fantastic site with amazing views over the cove, the sunsets were beautiful. Only a handful of pitches which means it is quiet and lots of space for kids to run around in safety. Showers and toilets were basic but well maintained and worked well for the size of the site. If you’re looking for a simple site in a good location, this is the one!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Really great spot- just a quick walk into town! will be coming back. showers and toilets were well maintained and had a rustic feel. the views were AMAZING and the proximity to hope cove was perfect. we loved it so much! booked through pitch up, the owners sent a text on arrival day with instructions that were very easy to follow, we found everything very easily. they visit the site daily and although we didn’t run into them we felt that if we’d have had any issues they would have been on hand to help. pitches were well laid out and spacious. we will definitely be coming back!

Disliked: Compost toilets not for everyone

Local attractions

The kids will be spoiled at Cove Camping, for there’s a brace of sand-and-pebble beaches to choose from in Hope Cove, both within five minutes’ walk. Not content with two beaches? There’s a sandy expanse at South Milton (10 minutes’ drive) with a landmark rock arch just offshore, and a surf school and kayak hire at popular Bantham Beach (20 minutes), which attracts food trucks in the summer months to keep hungry families well fed. If you’re keen to get out on the South West Coast Path (five minutes’ walk), turn east for Bolt Tail’s Iron Age hill fort (20 minutes) and carry on for clifftop views over the English Channel from National Trust - Bolberry Down (50 minutes). There’s another National Trust property at Overbeck’s Garden (15 minutes’ drive), where you can amble among palm trees and peer over the spectacular Kingsbridge Estuary to Salcombe (10 minutes). A visit to this pretty waterside town turns up lots of indie shops, seafood bars overlooking the yacht harbour or rum and gin distilleries for tours and tastings.
