South Dean Camping

South Dean Camping is an award-winning, cliff-top campsite perched on North Devon's rugged north coastline within Exmoor National Park.

The open, elevated site offers sweeping Atlantic ocean views and sits just metres from the South West Coast Path, which doubles here as part of the Tarka Trail — making it well placed for walkers and confident mountain bikers heading toward the wooded Heddon Valley and Heddon's Mouth.

The site welcomes tents, campervans, and motorhomes, and is equipped with toilet, shower, and washing-up facilities. Its exposed position delivers dramatic scenery and excellent dark skies for stargazing, though campers should be prepared for coastal winds.

Dogs are welcome on leads. Barnstaple is within roughly 30 minutes' drive, and Woolacombe around 25 minutes.
