Dog-friendly camping in South West England

·

Bring your dog, your tent, and your sense of adventure—South West England welcomes you with over 1,200 pet-friendly campsites. You’ll find sites near ancient woodlands, windswept coasts, and tucked behind hedgerows in the rolling hills.

Wildlife-watching, hiking, and even surfing are right at your doorstep. For a proven favourite, check out South Dean Camping (169 reviews), Meldon Lake and Woods Wild Camping (88 reviews), or Brig's Farm (66 reviews). Nights average £33, but you’ll find pitches from as little as £7. Most sites welcome dogs, so you won’t have to leave anyone behind. Pack your wellies, grab the lead, and get ready for a camping trip that suits both you and your four-legged mate.

Hello and thank you for choosing Fat Apples Wild Camp Site! Less than half a mile from Porthallow beach, our small family run wild campsite has around ten pitches spread throughout an old Cornish woodland, located just behind Fat Apples Café. We are also close to the half way mark of the Southwest Coast Path! The village of St. Keverne is a five minute drive and has a Spar, baker, butcher, two pubs and a newsagents. When open, the café serves breakfast and lunches, and also has essentials for sale. Please check our café opening days as you will need to bring your own supplies if you are staying on the days we are closed! The campsite is open seven days a week from April to the end of October (weather permitting). The camp pitches are wild, and a short distance away we have a coin operated (hot) shower, WC and cold-water dishwashing sink. There is no vehicular access to the site, cars are left about 100 yards away in our yard. We have wheelbarrows to help unload kit. Throughout the year we run a variety of events, such as, music nights, courses, an ongoing bookswap and private parties. Our camp area is becoming well known for outdoor retreats and educational visits. We allow small campfires on site in fire pits or baskets. Logs and basket are £13.50. The café is open (9.30am-4.00pm). Thursday to Sunday from the 5th March 2026. Wednesday-Sunday April- End of August. Thursday-Sunday September and October. We also run BBQ evenings on a pop-up basis in the summer season. It is a good idea to book breakfast or lunch in the café as it gets very busy. The Village of Porthallow has a lovely pub on the beach called The Five Pilchards Inn. In calm weather it is great swimming, snorkelling and kayaking/boating area. We are near the Helford estuary- 3 miles Coverack Cove - 3 Miles Porthkerris Dive Centre- 1 mile

As you'd expect from a site with such a name, there's a whole lot of space in which to relax and explore at 5 Acres, a large grassy site in the Somerset Levels. Kids and dogs are both welcome on site here, and there's plenty of scope for them to run about and play games safely away from barbecues and campfires (which are also permitted to keep you warm and fed in the evenings). Facilities on site include firepits, a toilet and shower block and outdoor sinks with mains water. Dogs must be kept on leads at all time. We class ourselves as a quite site so no amplified music. The premier pitch is fully enclosed so dogs can be let off the lead. There is a maximum of six people allowed on this pitch at any one time. Visitors are allowed as long as the total number of people doesn't exceed six and they are chargeable at the overnight rate and must leave by 18:00 - Sorry, had the envelope pushed a bit! Mains hook ups are 6Amp max rated. Pitches are approximately 16m x 20m. The flag, firepit and pitch number line up in the centre of your pitch. The surrounding Somerset Levels aren’t just out in the sticks – they also produce them. Willow cane has been cultivated the traditional way in this part of the county for hundreds of years and can be seen growing within a mile of 5 Acres. The Levels are also a wildlife haven, making them an all-round top choice for country walks along the many trails nearby. And while this may be a rural retreat, it's also one that's easy to get to as it's just off the A378 (no winding country lanes to negotiate for this one…) Taunton town centre, with its wide range of shops and supermarkets, is a 15-minute drive away. The closest pub and coffee shop are five minutes away by road.

We set up our campsite to be a unique place where guests could be as close to nature as possible, while retaining some of the basic comforts of home. Think wildflower meadow with hot showers! We've gone for ultimate peace and tranquility, with a very limited number of pitches mown into the wildflowers with lots of space between. Our remote site is far from roads or light pollution, making for serene starry nights around the firepit. The camping meadow is bordered by woodlands, a small nature reserve, and the gardens of a stunning Tudor manor house, all of which you're free to explore. Nestled in a remote and picturesque corner of West Dorset, the campsite is within easy reach of some of the South West's most stunning spots, from world-famous fossil beaches to neolithic hill-forts.
