About South Allington House

This peaceful back-to-basics site enjoys a beautiful and tranquil rural setting within a hamlet, close to Salcombe on the South Devon coast. The manor house has four acres of stunning grounds and it's all run in harmony with the environment.

Badgers, foxes, horseshoe bats, ducklings, frogs and more make this their home. Surrounding the site, there are plenty of easily-accessible walking and cycling routes for guests, with the coastal path only 1.5 miles away. The small and sheltered campsite is family-run and popular with young families, who have been visiting for generations.

A note from the site themselves...

We are a welcoming family farm with a passion for sustainability, we even have a wind turbine and a biomass boiler to support our environmental ethos. We are so lucky to have such a great location with many campers enjoying walks to Lannacombe beach and the surrounding areas.

We hope you love it here as much as we do!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Worth the travel to this place. Lanes are a little tight in places but camping is great. Very quiet with the backdrop of hills in the valley. I'm already planning to go next year. Good facilities and scenery too.

Welcoming and respectful of privacy

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

We arrived to a well organised campsite. It clearly attracts campers who are polite and respectful of other campers. Facilities are looked after and refreshed daily, plenty of hot water and conveniences etc. The campsite was fully booked when we arrived but it's layout meant it never seemed crowded. They have a notice board with your yellow ticket pegged as you come up the drive, this gives your plot number and directions in a map for the site. Location is great if you want to get away from it all. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend the campsite.
