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. You'll find plenty of friendly wildlife onsite - following RSPB advice, there are areas specially provided for wildlife and local birds. 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. Spacious grass pitches are available onsite, with easy access to well-sized facilities. For any friends and family not looking to camp, there are elegant ensuite B&B rooms within the main house.

South Allington House is open from 01/05 to 30/09 in 2024 and from 16/05 to 29/09 in 2025.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

Lovely little campsite, toilets and showers are clean and it has some beautiful views when not cloudy and on top of the hill. A nice place for families however, be aware there is a little pond. Unfortunately, didn't see any staff. However, if you want a trip with no human interactions, it's perfect for you. I wouldn't recommend the campsite to anyone with large vehicles, it is down some very narrow roads.

Fantastic site in a beautiful location

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2024

A lovely campsite in a beautiful location. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. It's a great place to relax, escape modern life and immerse yourself in nature. It has all the facilities you need, clean loos, showers and washing up areas, plus freezers for food and icepacks as well as a washing machine and two tumble dryers. The pitches are spacious with some on flat ground and others on sloping. The nearest beach is about a mile away and a very pleasant walk down quiet country lanes. Lovely Mill Bay beach is a short drive away, as is the ferry point for Salcombe. Local shops are a bit scarce so it's sensible to stock up in Kingsbridge or at the Spar at East Charleton. That said, Piglet Stores at East Prawle has plenty of essentials. We'll definitely be going back. A great campsite with a lovely vibe.
