Sea View Campsite is a peaceful, family-run farm campsite near Slapton in South Devon, set on gently sloping fields with grass pitches and long views across the countryside to the sea. It sits close to Slapton, roughly 7 miles from both Dartmouth and the market town of Kingsbridge, with Salcombe about 12 miles away. The three-mile dog-friendly beach at Slapton Sands is walkable across the site's own meadows, and the blue-flag Blackpool Sands is a short drive. There are grass pitches with and without electric hook-up for tents, caravans and campervans, plus a self-catering chalet for those who would rather not camp. Larger motorhomes over 6m are not recommended because of the narrow surrounding lanes, so big-van owners should take note. What stands out is the deliberately uncommercialised feel: no tarmac roads or street lights, a quiet time between 11pm and 7am, and a communal campfire for toasting marshmallows under dark skies. Run by the same family for over 30 years, Sea View Campsite suits campers who want stars, space and coast walks rather than clubhouses. The site opens for the summer season, with pitches booked through the operator.
The three-mile, dog-friendly beach at Slapton Sands is reachable on foot across the campsite's own meadows and Slapton village. The blue-flag Blackpool Sands is a short drive away, and more sandy beaches at Bantham, Thurlestone and Hope Cove are within reach along the South Devon coast.
Are campfires allowed at Sea View Campsite?
Yes, campfires are part of the experience here, and there is a communal campfire for toasting marshmallows in the evenings. The site keeps things deliberately low-key, with no tarmac roads or street lights and a quiet time between 11pm and 7am so everyone can sleep.
Can large motorhomes stay at the site?
Motorhomes over 6m are not recommended because of the narrow lanes surrounding this rural site. Smaller campervans, caravans and motorhomes are welcome, and if you are in a larger vehicle it is worth bringing a smaller car to more easily explore the area.
Are dogs welcome?
Yes, dogs are welcome and have their own large exercise fields, though they must be kept on a lead on the main camping area. There are circular walks from the site to the beach and nature reserve, and most local pubs and beaches are dog-friendly.
What pitches and facilities are available?
There are large, level grass pitches with and without electric hook-up for tents, caravans and campervans, plus a self-catering chalet with a sea view. Facilities include showers, toilets and washing-up areas, and there is a small shop. Dartmouth and Kingsbridge are both around 7 miles away.
