Liked: The sea view was lovely and the campsite was very spacious. There was a great circular walk straight from the campsite along the coast, then through fields and woodland which we really enjoyed.

Liked: The facilities at this campsite were, quite simply, fantastic. Showers were probably the best I have ever seen at a campsite, and nothing beats having your own toilet cubicle! The attention to detail, like having the washroom/bathroom area decorated with plants was a nice touch and everything was immaculately clean. The views from this campsite are stunning and there are plenty of places to pitch up and have your own space. Felt like wild camping with the convenience of bathroom and showers! Would highly recommend for the sunset alone.
Disliked: I didnât dislike anything. It was very windy when I stayed as you are high up on a cliff. I would recommend camping by the wall to try and reducr this.

Liked: We loved everything about South Dean. Amazing views, great facilities and a wonderful location. We had 3 dogs with us, which means it's sometimes difficult to find a campsite to accommodate this. But after a quick call, we were assured this would be fine. We'll certainly be returning and recommending to others!

Liked: Laid back campsite right on the cliff, with the coast within a few metres - right on the South West Coastal Path. Brilliant facilities - showers, toilets & washing up are the best I have seen anywhere. A friendly couple run the site who seem genuinely happy to help. No check-out time, so didn't feel hurried to leave

Liked: Incredible views over three North Devon coast, South Dean Camping was an excellent camp site with a great choice of pitches. Facilities were clean and plentiful too. Couldn't fault it (except for the weather, but that wasn't their fault!).
