Campsites for hikers near Clovelly

·

In Clovelly, hiking is the main event—think wooded coastal paths, wind-battered headlands, and fields dotted with sheep. You’ll find over 960 campsites aimed squarely at walkers, with prices starting from as little as £9 a night and an average around £75. Grab a pitch at South Dean Camping (169 reviews) for direct access to footpaths and a quick walk to the sea. Westland Farm (46 reviews) keeps things low-key with fields that roll right into the moors, while Cornish Tipi Holidays & Camping (39 reviews) offers a wilder, woodland vibe. Most sites allow campfires, have showers, and proper toilets—no trekking into the brambles here. Between wildlife-watching, fishing, and endless hiking, you’ll run out of daylight before you run out of things to do. Pack sturdy boots and a sense of direction; the South West Coast Path doesn’t do straight lines.

Set in a peaceful, rural location in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Fire Beacon Camping is a fabulous location for a countryside escape, 1.5 miles along a traditional Devon country lane, when you arrive the views of Devon countryside, will not disappoint! Perfectly situated for stunning sunsets and the best starry night skies, how many shooting stars will you see? (weather permitting) This is a tranquil, off grid nearly wild campsite, with a strong eco ethos with views across to Exmoor, composting toilet facilities, and recycling facilities. the wildlife is abundant, all the pitches are extremely generously sized and a Fire Pit provided for each one. It's a 10 minute drive to Sidmouth with its beautiful beaches and wide range of Independent shops, Cafes and pubs, and 10 minutes drive in the opposite direction to Ottery St Mary, which also boasts a wide range of Independent shops, there are also plenty of Farm Shops in the area. There is no end of wonderful beaches to explore along the Jurassic coastline. From Fossil hunting in Lyme Regis to the East, the quaint fishing village of Beer to massive golden sandy beaches in Exmouth to the west. With lots of woodland walks on the 'doorstep' the East Devon Way is a 5 minute walk away, 15 minutes walk to the Fire Beacon Nature Reserve and for keen hikers, we're close to the South West Coast Path. For mountain bikers, there are some great routes in the local woodlands and bike routes are also close by with the challenging River Exe Loop and family bike routes along the Otter river less than 15 minutes’ drive away.
