Liked: Incredible views over three North Devon coast, South Dean Camping was an excellent camp site with a great choice of pitches. Facilities were clean and plentiful too. Couldn't fault it (except for the weather, but that wasn't their fault!).

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Very friendly greeting, pitch anywhere, amazing sea views and direct access to the coast path and walking. The facilities were also clean and well stocked. It has everything you need.
Disliked: Had one lovely hot shower and one freezing cold one. But I think thatâs to be expected when it is busy. By the end of a busy bank holiday weekend bins were starting to overflow a bit.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: I recently stayed at this campsite and had a wonderful experience. The site is lovely, spacious, and impeccably clean, with spectacular views that enhance the overall charm. The quirky toilets and showers were always fully stocked and clean, making our stay very comfortable. The owners were extremely helpful. We forgot a few items, but they had everything we needed available to borrow. Additionally, the option to buy firewood and hire fire pits is a fantastic touch that added to our enjoyment. I will definitely stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend it to friends and family.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The location was amazing. On a cliff above the sea with fantastic views. Warm welcome by the hosts and they were always available if required. The chilled atmosphere. The alpacas on site. The coastal walk right off the camp field. Excellent toilet, shower and washing facilities.
Disliked: Some campers pitches their tents really close, as in a few metres away. No set rules or guidance may help.
