About the site
Cheglinch offers wild camping in one of two fields in rural North Devon, suitable for tents only. The pop-up, gently sloping, site is open on selected days during the summer months, and allows you to enjoy the fresh Devonshire air and spectacular views while the sun shines (hopefully!), before the site reverts back to its traditional agricultural use. The site is located in a quiet and isolated spot on the outskirts of a working farm. However, it is easily reached, within half a mile of the A361 and the village of West Down (which offers a well-stocked community shop and pub). It's a perfect base for exploring the delightful North Devon surfing beaches, just a short drive away. The unmarked pitches allow you to choose your preferred location and there is masses of room so children have open space to run and play. The site is predominantly a peaceful, tranquil place interrupted only by sounds of livestock grazing in neighbouring fields. However, there may be the occasional day where tractors can be seen and heard working nearby - don't forget you are at the heart of the countryside after all! If you enjoy an open campfire then the campsite fire pits (available to hire) are just what you need. Wood is also available to purchase on site and barbecues are permitted as long as they are kept off the ground.
Cheglinch Camping is open from 05/08 to 24/08.

I have stayed at Cheglinch camping on my visits to Ilfracombe for the past few years. It is a good basic site at a very reasonable price. The field is large with plenty of room. A number of good eco toilets. There are no showers but the site does not claim any. The site is clean with plenty of bins. A very good pub is 15 mins walk. The fact that I revisit every year is the best recommendation.
I love being in the Cheglinch field

We stayed in a pre pitched bell tent in the camping area, which offered beautiful views of the countryside with sheep in the distance. The tent was large enough to comfortably accommodate 2 adults, 2 teens and a toddler. The facilities offered for the campers are relatively basic - running water (cold only) in sinks in the field, as well as 4 compost toilets (very well maintained, with fairy lights, air freshener and hand sanitiser) available. You can rent a fire pit for £2 per night and buy a bag of firewood for £5. The glamping area looked very lovely too, with private outside cooking areas as well as a games room, football goals and a washing machine. The camping area is relatively hands off, which gave a real camping experience. The location is ideal being in a quiet area, but within a 15 minute drive from Ilfracombe and Woolacombe.
