Hi Lovely Folks,
I have done the Camp Site Search, but would really value some recommendations.
It's all a bit last minute, but we'd like to camp in Devon, Dorset or Somerset.
Dates: Monday 20th August - Saturday 25th.
We have a tent, two adults, two children 10 & 8
Cheap as chips would be great
Loos & showers please
Campfires allowed - great :)
Close to a pub (walking distance) a bonus
Play area a bonus
Many thanks :)

Not been there (yet!) but Bijou Camping in Swanage seems to tick most of your boxes.

There are a few dotted around in North Devon/Somerset border.  If you're looking for no frills, campfires but lovely location:

Leeford Farm Riverside camping, Lynton.  Pub  & cream teas in walking distance

Doone Valley Malmsmead, Oare near Lynton, has cafe/cream teas next door.

Westermill Farm, near Exford (just in Somerset!)  Pub 2 miles.

Stoke Barton farm, Hartland near Bideford (almost on a cliff top!)

 

One of my favourite sites in that area but does not allow fires is:

Burrowhayes, near Porlock.  Set in stunning valley, walks up onto Exmoor, horse riding on site and within a drive of the coast.

And one more! :

Alpine Grove, Chard - nice owners, fires permitted & a pool!

Thanks again
