South Dean Camping sits perched above the ocean on North Devon's rugged coastline in Ilfracombe, Devon, with the South West Coast Path running right past the site and sweeping sea views towards Wales. You can pitch a tent or campervan across the open grounds, gather round a fire pit for a barbecue, relax in the picnic areas, and say hello to the friendly alpacas and sheep in the pet's corner. Clean toilets and hot showers keep things comfortable, and dogs are welcome all year round on a lead. Beyond the campsite, Combe Martin beach is around 4 miles away, while Barnstaple station lies 11.2 miles off, with Combe Martin's Wildlife and Dinosaur Park and museums in Combe Martin and Lynton all within easy reach for days out.
