# Cheglinch Camping > Cheglinch Camping If you long for the days of good old fashioned camping, without all the bells, whistles and over manicured pitches, then wind your way through the rolling Devon countryside and settle yourselves into this absolute gem. The rural setting is home to Cheglinch Farm Wild Camping, a campsite on the outskirts of a working farm and open only for a short time over the summer months, before returning back to agricultural farmland. This lovely unspoiled spot is a taste of what camping used to be, where you can simply bring your tent, set up where you choose in a field unmarked by fenced off pitches, and enjoy stunning, far reaching views across the countryside. Cows graze in the fields nearby and children are free to run about to their heart’s content. You’ll need to bring all your own camping gear (although you can hire firepits) but provided here is exactly what you need and nothing more: a drinking water tap, toilet facilities and a sink to wash up; so for those looking for a truly authentic camping affair, this is it. No showers, but with several excellent swimming beaches very close by on Devon’s beautiful coastline, it’s one exception that’s well worth making. And you can always bring your own. What you do get in return is a completely rural location - far away from the farm’s sister glamping site and other facilities - and space and tranquillity to enjoy something that many of us strive for every day. The chance to just sit, relax, make a barbeque and watch the sun go down in a properly “wild” location. With the gorgeous sandy beaches of Woolcoombe, Saunton, Ilfracombe and Croyde nearby, you have the beauty of both coastal and countryside settings. And if you want to travel further afield, Exmoor National Park is only a 30 minute drive away. Also good to note that if you love the idea of wild camping here but you don't have a tent, you can hire one of their beautiful pre-erected Lotus Belle tents which are 5 metres in diameter and super spacious. You'll still need to bring all your things for the inside, but the tricky bit is done for you! - Type: Place to stay - Location: Ilfracombe, West Down, Devon, England - Area guide: [Devon](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/discover/regions/devon) - Booking: Book online on HolidayFox - HTML page: https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-y6d6Vj16-pfJ/cheglinch-camping - Live availability (JSON): https://www.holidayfox.com/api/agent/availability?id=dest-y6d6Vj16-pfJ ## Stay types - [Pre-Pitched Unfurnished Lotus Belle Tent](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-y6d6Vj16-pfJ/cheglinch-camping/accommodations/acctype-8ti29XaUT7cf/pre-pitched-unfurnished-lotus-belle-tent) — sleeps up to 6.
