East Soar Outdoor Experience is an outdoor activity centre on a National Trust farm on the headland above Salcombe in South Devon, and camping here is a catered service rather than a standard pitch-your-own campsite. The centre's main work is outdoor education for children and young people, including those with additional needs, alongside a Walkers' Hut cafe, a holiday cottage and a small number of weddings each year. In its spare capacity it offers catered camping, so this suits organised groups and families booking the experience rather than tourers turning up with a caravan, which the site does not take. The setting is the whole point: East Soar Farm sits amid some of the finest coastline in South Devon, with the South West Coast Path, Soar Mill Cove and the beaches near Salcombe and Bolberry Down all within walking distance, and sweeping sea views across the headland. Campfires feature as part of the outdoor experience, and the emphasis throughout is on getting outdoors. Dogs are not accepted. To camp at East Soar Outdoor Experience near Salcombe, contact the team directly, as arrangements and dates are handled on request.
