Campsites in North Devon
North Devon is home to some of the most beautiful, calm and unspoilt beaches in the UK, broken up by rocky headlands and picturesque harbour villages like Clovelly, Ilfracombe and Watermouth. It’s also a Mecca for camping. All along the coast and further back inland, the North Devon area is peppered with excellent campsites. And, while there are one or two large holiday parks and big caravan sites, North Devon also places host to a whole number of independently run campsites, perfect for tents and traditional family camping. Croyde Bay and the beaches of Woolacombe, Saunton Sands and Westward Ho! bring a lively surfer crowd every summer – expect to see boards and bikes at every campsite – while the likes of Exmoor National Park and the renowned South West Coast trail also attracts walkers in their droves. It’s families, though, that real reign supreme in North Devon. During school summer holidays the place is a hive of activity and at campsites children are quick to make new friends and rabble around in playful groups throwing frizbees, kicking balls and regaling their new found buddies with stories from their day at the beach. For campers, there are few finer spots in the UK to be. Campsites in South Devon Whether it’s exploring the wondrously preserved landscape of Dartmoor National Park or hopping between the rocky coves of the South Devon coast, there’s something to please everyone here. While the north coast is home to vast sandy beaches that seem to go on for miles, it’s in South Devon that true intrigue is found, with great river estuaries, dramatic gorges, exposed headlands and hidden inlets, plus any number of smaller beaches that please in equal measure. The River Exe runs its way into Exmouth, the River Dart into Dartmouth and the Teign into Teignmouth, all creating varied valley landscapes inland, while, on the coast, the sea of the English Channel does the modelling work. In amongst this natural backdrop there are campsites of all shapes and sizes. Secret gardens have been transformed into tiny campsites, where you can pitch your tent or park up your campervan away from the crowds, while farmers have open fields during summer months to offer simple, family-sized camping patches. Whether your hunting for a school holiday stay at a pop-up campsite in summer, or your looking for a snug glamping getaway or a winter campervan break, there’s plenty of choice in South Devon.

Tent Camping in Devon Leaving the M5 and bobbling your way down the country roads of Devon, it’s not uncommon to find yourself sitting behind a motorhome or caravan. But, while the county plays host to a large number of big caravan parks and holiday centres, it’s not at the expense of smaller campsites. Local farms, in particular, continue to run traditional tent-only campsites and along the coast and in Devon’s protected areas – such as national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty – small-scale, independently run campsites still rule the roost. So, if you’re looking for somewhere simple, rustic and tent-friendly to pitch in Devon, you’ll still find plenty of options.
