Tremendous holiday with friends
Aug 2025 My family and I absolutely loved our visit!
We stayed with a large group of friends on a beautiful big field with a stunning view - it was private, quiet and very well kept. The washing up stand near the taps was a great touch and made a big difference when we were clearing up after group meals.
Whatever we needed, Ella was so very helpful - from hiring fire pits, to providing local information and advice. Thank you, Ella, for hosting our group - we very much hope to return!
Beautiful campsite
Aug 2025 We stayed here for four nights over the summer break with a group of friends. The campsite itself is in a beautiful setting with amazing views!
Ella was lovely and helped with queries and questions prior to booking. The toilets were clean and cleaned regularly!
The location is fab with short drives to lovely beaches and you can walk to the town and the pub!
We would definitely stay again!
A truly stunning location and very private campsite
Jul 2025 We have just had the most perfect 3 weeks camping at Cheglinch. Ella and her family are so friendly and attentive whilst also giving us space and privacy.
The facilities are great for a wild camping experience and they were regularly cleaned and attended to. The views across the fields were stunning and we had ample opportunity for sunsets and star gazing. Cheglinch is very well situated for day visits to various towns and beaches. The local village of West Down is in walking distance and has a lovely pub where staff were welcoming and food was good.
This is a wonderful campsite that gives you the opportunity to get away from more commercial, over priced and over populated campsites. It's a breath of fresh air with space and peace where the kids can run free. The campsite is within a farm and it was wonderful to see this hard working family go about their business and be immersed in the countryside.
We felt so happy at Cheglinch and we are very grateful to Ella for opening up her home to our group. Thank you
Great place to stay with friends or kids
Jul 2025 Great stay - absolutely amazing for kids and everything thought of by hosts.
Lots of toys, space and even chickens for the children to get involved with. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need.
Good cheap site
Small Tent - Wild Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 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
Small Tent - Wild Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 My third summer staying here, it improves each time. Peaceful, spacious and oh so calming. My dogs love it too - thank you for opening each August 😊☀️🐶🐶
Lovely site run by helpful family!
Bell Tent - Lotus Belle Tents Aug 2023 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.
Wild camping
Medium Tent - Wild Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Great site for wild camping, very handy for beaches and local attractions. Compostable loos, the cleanest I've ever seen and no smells.
A great location, lovely views and owner dealt with a group of rowdy campers, apologising and relocating them. It was very tranquil and just what you needed to re-charge the old batteries & do a bit of sight seeing.
Great pub and fish 'n' chips at nearby Mortehoe. A lovely mini trip exploring North Devon was had, thank you x
Good basic campsite
Large Tent - Wild Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Good, cheap basic campsite for short stays, easy access to North Devon coastline.
Great little wild campsite!
Large Tent - Wild Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 A great wild campsite. Basic facilities available, field not too big, great location. It was quiet during the night, even with a range of campers staying (groups of friends, families, couples). The compost toilets were fab with solar lights and were very clean. The two taps with basins were a nice touch. Plenty of space for our kids to run around even with several tents pitched. Easy to get to the beach too - 9 mins to Ilfracombe, 14 to Woolacombe and 20 to Saunton Sands.
Highly recommend as a base for North Devon beaches.
Lovely quiet campsite, great location Medium Tent - Wild Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Just returned from a lovely stay on the camping field here. As the description on the website says, the campsite has basic amenities with no showers, but the toilets are spotlessly clean and the washing up facilities are great. Lots of room to pitch, lots of room for kids to play and cows to say hello to over the gate!
Emily was easy to contact and really helpful and accommodating. Great location in quiet hamlet well off the main road, with easy access to Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, and a nice stroll to West Down to the shop or pub.
We will be back. Brilliant.
