The salt air carries inland from one of Devon's most beloved stretches of coast, and on a clear morning you can just about taste it from your pitch.
This is a year-round site near Kingsbridge, set within reach of the South Devon coastline that draws families back summer after summer. With space for tents, campervans and caravans, it suits anyone wanting a base for beach days and coastal walks — the kind of place where you'll see windbreaks dug into sandy grass and wetsuits drying on awning poles. The South Hams landscape rolls green and gentle here, with tidal estuaries and surf beaches both within striking distance.
Facilities aren't detailed in our listing, so it's worth ringing ahead to check what's onsite and whether you can bring the dog. Campfires are sometimes permitted — ask when you arrive. It's open all year, which tells you something about the hardy appeal of this corner of Devon, even when the tourists have gone home and the coast belongs to the locals again.

Follows the Avon Estuary through gently undulating coastal terrain with occasional steeper sections near Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea. Mostly suitable for older children but not ideal for buggies due to uneven paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers stunning estuary views, sandy beaches, and chances to spot wading birds and seals at the river mouth—particularly rewarding at low tide when sandbanks emerge.
Follows dramatic Devon coastline with steep ascents and descents through wooded valleys, coastal fields and clifftop paths. Challenging terrain unsuitable for buggies or very young children – expect multiple climbs including the notorious haul up from Wembury Beach. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards effort with stunning views across Wembury Bay, the Yealm estuary, and towards Burgh Island, plus secluded coves and the charming village of Bigbury-on-Sea at the finish.
Climbs steeply from Bigbury's sandy bay through dramatic headlands and hidden coves, with relentless ups and downs as you navigate clifftop paths toward Salcombe's estuary. Not suitable for buggies or young children—exposed coastal sections, challenging gradients, and uneven terrain demand good fitness. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards include stunning Devon coastline views, quiet beaches accessible via steep descents, and the charming approach into Salcombe
