This site is a little Gem. From the friendly organised arrival and welcome, to the well kept pitches, and overall cleanliness we will definitely be returning again.
As a family with young children we look for sites with 'things to do' and this site has lots and provides more! Yes a small charge is sometimes asked for (craft centre, pony rides, archery) but the owners have brought these in to make your holiday, you don't have to do them.
We had great weather (always a bonus!) and loved the BBQ by the pool. The kids loved the play parks, and even when it did rain for 14 hours straight the pitch drained well.
Was really impressed with all facilities, toilets and showers were fab, bar and cafe and shop were priced as you would expect if eating out anywhere, (on a par with our local pubs/cafes at home)
Site was busy (bank holiday) but not overcrowded and everybody was friendly.
Looked like great entertainment provided in the bars in the evenings but we didn't stay to see, though may do next time
We were pitched very near to the bar area but did not hear any excessive noise, nobody was loud going back to the pitches and no kids congregating where they shouldn't. Loved the irons and boards in the laundry and the book swap idea.
Overall a really good site that tries to make your holiday a fab one. And really close to Paignton/Torquay and loads of local attractions. Only downside was the windy country road to get to get to the site.
Site has a rural location not far from Stoke Gabriel and a 5 - 10 min drive from Paignton. There are no facilities off site within walking distance.
All on site facilities are of a good standard and kept clean and tidy. The site has a rural slightly rustic feel but is nicely done without any 'low rent' feeling that holiday parks can have
All the facilities are located at the entrance ( shower blocks excepted) but it was a long walk uphill from our pitch in the great orchard, but that does mean the evening entertainment is not in your face if its not your thing.
Bar meals and takeaway food are available & they are reasonably priced there is an offer of 2 meals for £13. 99 before 7pm. Good sized portions- the usual fayre but nicely done and tasty.
There are on site amusements, games room, crafts and a good programme of daily activities. There is a bar with inside and outside seating on a raised terrace overlooking the pool and separate bar with disco.
We stayed in the orchard field. I found it a little higgledy piggledy and many pitches slope as is it located in a dip. We were unable to book hardstanding and found that the ground in our awning area became very slippy and sticky after rain. The soil is red clay and it came up through the ground sheets. Rainwater rain straight through in and out of out awning following the gradient and didn't soak in. The good thing was that even when wet soil and mud did not transfer much off pitches.
The are several well maintained play areas for children and there is a wooded area to explore.
The heated outdoor pool is open 9 - 7pm rain or shine and is attended. Children over 8 can swim without an adult being present. There are sun loungers provided.
All in all a pleasant stay but we would probably not return to this site due to the ground conditions, layout and pitches
We booked this site at late notice and used the on-line booking facility, which worked well.
As soon as we arrived it was clear that whatever else, we were being looked after by friendly, helpful and enthusiastic staff. We were taken to our pitch from the reception area by a man on a Golf Cart type thing, in 'Sweet Hill'
The pitches can slope a little and some are more exposed than others. When booking online I left a request for a sheltered pitch. We were given a pitch next to a hedge so 10/10 on that one.
The Shower/toilet block in our field was kept clean and very usable. The actual showers seemed a little low on pressure, but having left feedback to that effect I wouldn't be surprised if it is looked into before the new season next year. My Wife used the family room with our daughter and says it was excellent.
The main reception and entertainment area is at the front of the site and includes a shop and Craft centre for the kiddies. The Hayloft Bar with live acts was right up our street, while the kids enjoyed the Amusements and the Granary with its Disco. It isn't a full on commercial site, but the entertainment is there so don't expect 'Wild Camping' with no sounds.
We did try the cafe but found the food slightly lacking, again I left feedback to this effect and suspect it is another area that will receive attention over the winter.
There is also some daytime activities, in addition to the play areas (more than one). Our favourite was the Falconry where we all got to hold the Birds.
Overall, I will go back if the opportunity arises as the site is ideally located within easy reach of Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Dartmouth. Furthermore, the staff are excellent and that really makes for a good holiday.
Great site with great facilities. Toilets and showers all very clean although showers are the push type so can a bit hit and miss with temperature if you are in there when it is busy. Baths also available if you want one. Launderette very useful and irons/ironing boards also available if you want them. Good shop and cafe - reasonable prices. Bar gets very busy and noisy so we tended not to use it.
Swimming pool well looked after and always busy.
They also had various other activities such as segway and falconry at an additional charge.
Staff always very friendly and helpful.
Pitches are a reasonable size and site is well kept.
This was our 4th visit to this site and we would return again.
Had 10 days at this site. Not very impressed was expecting great things
The pictures are deceiving the slopes are worse than they look
You are suppose to use breathable groundsheet obviously the person before hadn't and the ground was quite muddy and slippy so couldn't site camper the way round we wanted because car couldn't pull it up the slope which was our pitch
Clubhouse was loud and did not finish at 11pm, it carried on and then we also got noisy people coming back from bar, who had no consideration for other people who were asleep. The first night we had a group standing outside our camper at 1am having a loud conversation, hubby had to get up and ask them to move as we had 2 kids in bed. For the first 5 days it was this
Also teenagers hanging around the toilets at 1. 30am why, where were the parents?
A lot of the kids were running riot, I saw on several occasions 10pm at night, kids cycling round the park, no lights on, couldn't see them
If you are one of the slopes watch out when it rains especially if you use the breathable groundsheet, like we did as they request, the water did flood our awning we got to move all our stuff which is not good when you got a kid sleeping in the awning
Daughter used the pool very cool if heated, there were kids jumping in throwing leather footballs that hit my daughter on the head, lifeguard sitting there texting on her phone, sorry but this is a communal pool and certain rules should be obeyed in a small pool
Didn't use bar or craft centre cant comment
Most of the staff were young early 20's
Its a family site but there didn't seem to be consideration for other people
Too noisy.
Only good points for me was the good location within easy reach of paignton, torquay, dartmouth and totnes never had to travel more than 10 miles, sainsburys, morrisons and asda close by
Most sites have a 11pm curfew obviously not adhered to here and there is mop for cleaning up after you had a shower some people obviously couldn't be bothered so often had to clean a muddy floor before I could have shower
Some money spent on drainage and flattening some of the pitches would be a good idea and having warden walking round at night would be good only saw him in the day once in the whole 10 days we were there
Thought we were going to a nice quiet family campsite and it wasn't been on plenty of big sites but none as noisy as this
The site is a well run family site, lots of open spaces, ideal for families, it is near a lovely village called stoke gabriel, and from this location it is very easy to get to lots of different places. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
The outdoor pool is heated for most of the season, the numerous toilet/shower/pot washing blocks are clean and adequate.
I cannot comment on the bar, restaurant, or family room because we didn't use those facilities, the craft centre is ideal for use when it is bad weather, The shop has a good selection of food, toys, and camping needs etc. ,
The children's' play areas are safe, although with having young grandchildren we supervised the children on the rides/swings/climbing frames.
There is some lovely walks on the site. A separate area for dog exercise.
The laundry equipment has been upgraded for this year and is much better.
The reception is well stocked with leaflets etc for places to go, things to do, a pc for use with a small charge, they have discount vouchers for attractions for the asking. Throughout the weeks there are external attractions brought into the site, some make a small charge, others are free, it is up to the individual how much or how little you want to join in,
My only tiny negative is about how to get to the site - it is down what I would call a 'narrow' country lane, although it is a bus route.
Finally we will be going back again next, what more recommendation can you get!
Daves mate said it all really, the orchard field is lovely, the amenities block there is simply wonderful. They've got some 'pods' in there too, I had a look in one as some people were just setting up, and I quite fancy trying one sometime.
We went here at Easter as a 'trial run', Mrs V8 and I are getting married in August, in Newton Abbot, and we're using this site as 'home' for the week before and a weeks honeymoon after, yes, a camping wedding!The staff have been so helpful! We've been able to book four adjacent pitches for the weekend, where we wanted, the DJ/MC (John) has said he'll tailor the nights fun for us, they've appeared genuinely pleased to help us out. That makes a world of difference.
Situation wise the site is great for the English Riviera, Literally just up the road from Paington, with some great pubs within a few miles, Hare and Hounds in Kingskerswell-brilliant!
Our 2nd visit to this site. To be honest we only booked it as we couldn't get in where we wanted to go for Easter, so glad we returned here though. The site is superb and we loved it every bit as much as we did on our 1st visit.
Staff are very friendly and the toilet blocks are kept spotless. The newer block down in the orchard field has been very well thought out and the showers are laid out in such a way that your stuff doesn't get wet on the hanger, an idea lacking in so many places. The bigger main block, although perfectly adequate, would benefit from modernisation. It gets quite cold in there, when all the showers are on and the steam builds up it can get a bit slippy as well. Also, having the washing up sinks in the shower room just seems wrong.
A previous review mentioned sloping pitches. There are a few around but none were being used during our visit and I get the feeling they're used as a last resort during peak periods. The majority of pitches are level and of a good size.
There are at least 3 play areas dotted around the site in different spots. Ideal if you've got young kids as it means you're never pitched too far from one.
Pool area was tidy and clean but water was a bit chilly (I really don't understand why sites won't heat outdoor pools for Easter). Family and bar areas are very good. Good entertainment for kids and adults alike plus reasonable prices at the bar. Food in the on site cafe is the usual campsite fare (burgers, nuggets etc) but is good quality. Yes, the activities in the craft centre do have to be paid for but while we were there free daytime activities were put on for Sat & Sun including a falconry display.
Overall we really like this place and will be back.
From the moment we arrived everything ran very smoothly, the campsite is very well run. We'd arrived early having travelled a long way through the night but were allowed to park up the van until our pitch was ready and have a wander.
The site is quite large made up of several areas but there are enough facilities on each area to mean you are never too far from toilets and showers.
The facilities on our area were new and perfect. The site has everything you could wish for on a family holiday without the 'Butlins' effect. The entertainment was great and the people running the bar and family room very friendly and helpful. A lot of pitches are quite a way from the pool and clubhouse but at least this means you are not disturbed by the noise if you don't want it and we found it a pleasant walk back, as the site was well lit.
Stoke Gabriel is lovely, and there is a nice pub serving food. Torbay didn't seem to have a decent place to eat anywhere and the car parking for beaches soon mounted up -very expensive, which is a shame as the beaches were lovely. If you are not too bothered about the beach all the better as you may as well stay at the site.
The site is situated quite close to two supermarkets and is about 3 to 4 miles from the beaches.
All the kids loved crabbing off the jetty in Stoke Gabriel.
Visited this site after reading adverts and the fact that they are a Premier site.
Must admit we were disappointed. Not to say it is necessarily a bad site, it is just not our cup of tea. We visited in the summer holidays, which was a mistake. It is a proper 'holiday' site with a club, house, pool etc. When we were there it was quite noisy with one group of people being particularly noisy well after midnight. Nothing was done about it. Lots of people were complaining the following morning to reception.
We went on the 'country walk' which is mainly on a busy, bendy road. VERY dangerous as cars, some towing caravans, fly down this road.
Advantages - Bus stops right outside the gates. Very nice village, Stoke Gabriel about a mile away. (Down dangerous road though).
Disadvantages - Torquay is rubbish.
My view is that the site should market itself as a more commercial site along the lines of a small 'Haven'. If that was what you were expecting then you would not be disappointed. However, I was expecting a quiet country site.
I won't be going back, but if I did it would be outside school holidays.
My family have been coming to this campsite for over 10 years. It is a very friendly site and both myself and husband and son have met up with the same families from all over the UK every year.
When the children were younger we used to have cricket matches. The site feels very safe and so we were able to let the children go off by themselves exploring. There are 2 play areas and a wood. The swimming pool is great for all the family with a lifeguard in attendance every day.
There is a family room with entertainment for the children every evening, with a disco for teens till 12 midnight. There is an arcade and a TV room and an adults only bar. The cafe and take-away is reasonably priced as is the well stocked shop.
There is a large Sainsbury's and Morrisons supermarket less than 10 minutes drive away. The camping pitches we have had have always been big and you never feel you are top of anyone.
Plenty of toilets and lovely hot showers and there is a brand new block down on the bottom field. Out of the camp less than a 10 minute drive will take you to the village of Stoke Gabriel where every evening you will find hoards of families 'crabbing' in the creek.
A crab line for 99p and a bit of bacon on the end and the kids love it, we were often there for a couple of hours or until it got dark. 15 minutes drive the other way and you'll be at Broadsands Beach. A lovely safe sandy beach with a cafe, shop and toilets.
I would rate this site 10/10 for its facilities on the site itself and also for the position and easy access to Torbay.
Well run campsite with friendly staff, quick and efficient check in.
When we visited it was very busy and tents seemed quite close together, this eased a little after a weekend as a few people had gone home. Facilities a bit dated but adequate.
Lovely outdoor swimming pool, we were lucky with the weather so spent a fair bit of time round there. Hayloft reasonable and food ok, kids entertainment room got very busy on an evening but kids loved it.
Plenty of places round and about to visit, we would def use this site again but would try and get a more level pitch - some are very sloping. All in all a good site though, would recommend.
Toilet and shower facilities were excellent but insufficient for the number of people on site. There were significant queues every morning.
Location is good. Lots to do nearby.
Cons:
Very sloping site! Most of the flat pitches were for caravans and almost all tent pitches had a slope and for all but a few the slope was ridiculous
Very noisy! The clubhouse blared music out until late at night so getting to sleep was impossible. Then when the music stopped, never before midnight, everyone made their way back to their tents, very noisily.
Some nights there were teenagers hanging around in the pitch dark playground until late, right next to our tent.
The craft barn seemed appealing on paper, until we realised that paper was virtually all that was included. Anything else was at a price, which was not mentioned on the website before booking.
The road is not pleasant. Narrow and winding. On Saturday mornings especially it was very busy. We saw several poor people having to reverse their caravans back to a towing place because others refused to go back.
Myself and my partner stayed at this site for the weekend in July. I normally always go back to my favourite site in north Devon so this was a change and a nice one at that.
When I booked over the phone the lady was very helpful and swift and the booking was complete in no time. When we arrived at the site our check in details and stickers etc were waiting for us and the receptionist said to park out the front and we would be taken to our pitch.
We were taken to our pitch from a helpful man on a golf buggy and showed were to pitch. It was a very roomy electric pitch and we had no problem with our six man tent and car.
The toilet block in the first camping/caravan area is an older building but kept in very good nick. A lot cleaner than many modern ones I have come across. Although after a little walk around the site I found what looked like a brand new block with lovely new showers. Of course I used these for the rest of the week but that in no way says that the older block isn't up to standards. It is but I wanted a bit of luxury in my life.
The Hayloft bar has a great atmosphere and the pool looked lovely although the weather didn't play ball so we never ventured for a dip. The shop was well stocked and all the staff were very friendly.
All in all this is a lovely site which sits on the right side of having good facilities but not to commercial. 10/10 Would visit again.
I have been coming to Whitehills since I was 8 years old with my parents, now I am bringing my own family who all love the campsite, you get to meet the same old faces every year which we look forward to, plus new faces too, the site has a very good shop on site that is always fully stocked with everything you would need from food to camping equipment to your daily paper.
A cafe, wash room, launderette, tv room adults bar and family room. The playground is fantastic for the kids and very safe, the people who work their are really kind and pleasant,
it is situated in the rolling hills of Devon about 10 mins in the car from the coast, just before a lovely village called stoke Gabrielle, very quite and well maintained campsite.
The toilet and shower blocks are cleaned about 4 or 5 times a day.
The family entertainment is without doubt the best this country could possibly offer, john and bridget of the ricochet road show do a fantastic job for the whole family from bingo to kids games, action dances, then they also play family games like Mr and Mrs, play your cards right, race night. P
lus loads of other great ways to keep the whole family entertained. This is one of the main reasons we come back every year due to the beautiful site and the fantastic entertainment. Without doubt the best campsite we have ever visited.
The only setback is disabled access to the family room, their is a very nice out door terrace with ramp going up to the second floor but in the actual family room their is still steps going into and onto the dance floor, as we have a disabled child who loves to join in the fun this can get very difficult to get her down there, even for pushchairs it struggles in that respect, but other than that this is a wonderful campsite for the whole family,
