First impression was excellent reception staff gave a good welcome. We were then shown to our site by a young lad on a golf buggy very impressed.
The pitch we were given however was directly under some large pylons in the top field, unhappy with the pitch reception moved us to the other field which was also on a slight hill but away from the pylon.
The 2 males in the next pitch were a bit drunk and passed some unwelcome sexual comments to my partner.Not the campsites fault I must add. Where was security people ?
The toilets/showers were immaculate cant stress this enough, Plenty of free hot water, there was no mop the floor was wet in some of the shower cubicles and no were to hang things.
The site has a well stocked very competitively price shop open when we needed it.
The outside pool looked clean but did not use it.
Looks like this site tries hard with entertainment with plenty going on for families.
The location is ideal just outside Paignton down the lane. Lovely to listen to the owls hooting and the grass hoppers at dusk !
Just spent 2 nights at Whitehill country park in our tent!
We were really impressed by the site, great location on the edge of Stoke Gabriel, excellent facilities particularly the loos and showers which were really clean and well maintained-best we've ever visited!
Tent pitches are great-loads of space, surrounded by countryside.
Perfect for families with loads of well looked after play equipment.
Had been to this site many times in the past but this was our first visit for 6 years and our first with a caravan.
We had a hard standing pitch which was huge with enough room for car, caravan, awning and more room to spare for bbq, table and chairs etc.
Toilet and shower blocks were great and kept very clean. Didnt have to queue for a shower even with the site near full.
The swimming pool area is lovely, kids really enjoyed it, the play area is very good too.
On tuesday mornings there's a fantastic bird of prey display which was excellent and free.
Nice bar and disco/entertainment area and the food was nice too, especially curry night on a tuesday, two for £13 and were delicious.
Great location, central to everywhere.
All in all, still a fantastic site even though it hasn't really changed much over the years. We will return again in a couple of years, if the site had sea views I would say its near perfect, but I like to be able to see the sea from my caravan.
This was our second year here, we stayed for 10 nights. I asked for a flat pitch this year as last was on a hill!
Although I had given the size of the tent it only just fit on the pitch and there really wasn't much gap between neighbouring tents. We have a Coleman Velhas 8 tent.
The pitch site was convenient for the park and toilets at night, I don't recall the lights being on at night since I used the torch to get to toilet in the early hours. Admittedly some of the shower blocks are in need of updating and modernising, but we mainly used the new block in the touring site as they are wonderfully clean and there is a family shower room and also a bathroom for babies. At peak times there is a wait for the facilities. Saying this the showers are free and always hot and plenty of sinks for washing up in.
The entertainment for the children is good, there was a mini nature trail to go on. In the barn there is free painting and of course the swimming pool though last year our two found it too cold, and twice whilst we were there it had to be closed due to children not wearing swimming nappies.
We didn't eat in the on site cafe as I either cooked or we went to Morrisons next to Paignton Zoo. The prices in the club are rather expensive, but the staff are very friendly. There was live music in the bar most nights and a kids disco in the Haybarn I think it's called. Some nights it was just games though and my two wanted to dance. But there is a good games room and arcade type games my two loved playing air hockey!
If you have young children you will need to drive as it is down a country lane, Stoke Gabriel is a lovely village in walking distance as long as no young children! The park is well placed to getting to Goodrington Sands which has a lovely sandy beach. There is also an open air swimming pool with flumes etc at Goodrington and a Harvester pub with soft play area for children.
We(2 adults + 14 y/o Son & his friend + 2 tents) stayed here with no booking ahead whatsoever in August 2009. Arrived in pouring rain,at 8pm, were made most welcome, so booked for 2 nights with a view to moving elsewhere later. As soon as we arrived, the rain stopped.
Site was so good that we stayed all week, although we had to move to a new pitch after 3 days due to prior bookings.
I endorse everything good that folks have posted here. I'm submitting this review so long after our stay due to just reading all the negative ones.
Most of the people who have complained here about the site would probably be better going to a hotel.
Whitehill is a brilliant place to stay for practically any ages. Unfortunately we were too busy to be there during 2010, but will do again.
The cafe/restaurant/chippy (call it what ye want),is brilliant & not overpriced at all for what you get. We cooked breakfast every other day & ate in there for the others.
Pleasant & helpful staff. Enjoy it without expecting 5 star hotel treatment.
Entertainment generally good & occasionally excellent.
Loads of attractions nearby as has been stated.
I have no connection with Whitehill other than as a customer. As a 'young' camper of 57,I would recommend the site to anyone & everyone!
We spent 2 nights here, used the Sun camping vouchers we had collected so we could try different camp sites to find ones to use again. Whitehill was clean and tidy, toilets showers and laundry room could not be faulted, the staff were friendly and would recommend this site, it was a lovely stay, in a rural setting. We went on a walk to Stoke Gabriel following the map that was supplied to us at reception, it is a beautiful village and the Church is worth a visit. We like to go away in our motorhome out of season and were a bit dissappointed that although it was only the second week in September the shop was poorly stocked and we couldn't get a meal, takeaway or any food at all, you could get a drink in the bar though. This proved to be to our advantage, we went to the nearest pub the Parkers Arms and got a meal which was very good value for money. Won't go to Whitehill again out of season as we like to go somewhere offering food, or at least one that has food in it's shop, but that is just a personal thing.
Visited Whitehill for 2 nights in September. What a superb site. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, gave us a map and marked out all of the water points, showers and toilets for us. Not too sure what other reviewers mean that the showers were in portacabins as we saw none of these. Very new shower block in the tourers area, and they are superb. Always clean, free, long and hot.The other showers did need a bit of updating.
Very friendly bar, tad over priced but good beer and atmosphere. Didn't use the pool so I couldn't comment on that.
Close to all amenities and Paignton (zoo is fab), sainsburys is just down the road, yet you feel as though you are in the middle of the countryside.
Lots of playgrounds for kids and a nature trail around the park.
Downsides however are the fact that they leave all lights on around the whole campsite all night, so you don't even need a light in your tent. Also, the pitch we had was on a slope, which was rather annoying. But I cant really complain as we got it for £1 a night through the Sun.
All in all a fab site, close to Torquay and Paignton, with excellent facilities.
This is a fantastic site near to all the Torbay attractions. We found the main shower block at the bottom of the hill far better than the portacabin type that are dotted around the site. The water was piping hot at any time of day and the facilities were always spotlessly clean.
There is a good bar with a lovely balcony to sit out on that overlooks the illuminated pool.The games room is well equipped for the children and the site itself has a lot space for kids to play. Entertainment was good, three or four nights a week.
Stoke Gabriel is within walking distance with a nice old church overlooking the river and the old quaint pub is worth going in for a pint.
Our next camp in South Devon will definitely be at this site again.
We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Whitehill - we would have stayed longer but they were full!
The staff are very friendly, the site is clean and had everything we needed, the pool was great too even if it was a bit cold! Plenty for the children to do from arts and crafts to nature walks, and full entertainment in the Barn from 8pm-11pm. There is so much to do in the surrounding area too, cinema, funfair, beautiful beaches, Steam Train, Harbours, Toy Museum, Paignton Zoo the list is endless and we did most of them! The only thing I could say that was a pain (but did not spoil our holiday) were the showers - they were so far away from our tent we had to drive to them, but the water was hot and they were always clean.
We would definitely return and recommend it to our friends & family :)
This was our first visit here. At first we were really impressed but as the week went on, got more disillusioned. At the beginning it didn't seem too bad, as we only appeared to be on a slight incline, but as the week went on, our tent actually started moving downwards!
The heated pool was fab, although not actually heated! The facilities as a whole were what we expected but once again disappointing. The family bar was great with a good set up apart from one thing - the DJ. It was like groundhog day as he played the same games for the kids every night - however the kids actually loved it.
Apart from one new block, the toilets are all in portakabins which were clean, but not what we expected. The new block is lovely, 4 showers in the ladies. There is a family room with a bath though which was great as we have 3 young kids. We wouldn't have been able to take them into the showers as they were extremely hot & the temperature couldn't be altered. Bar & reception staff were lovely.
Despite everything I've said, we still had a lovely holiday & the location was great for Torquay, Paignton & goodrington sands.
We visited this site the Aug bank holiday weekend.
The site was packed as would be expected. I didn't like that the washing up facilities were in the toilets, the showers were dirty and were apparently cleaned twice a day. Basic sanatation standards I found to be very low generally
The pool is outdoors and not covered at night, was cold.
The positives about the site was that the pitches were well maintained and there seemed a lot for children to do with an activities room, 2 or more parks, pool and entertainment
Overall a great site. We went with our two children and two other families- 6 children age range 2-6. The atmosphere on the site was great.
Arrived just over an hour before 3pm check in time and were taken straight to pitch. We were in Coombe meadow, right next to small playground, ideal as children could play alone and be seen at all times! Only small moan is that older children & teenagers often decided to use playground to meet between 10 & 12pm, although always obliged when we asked them to leave or quieten down. Short walk upto clubhouse/shop/pool.
Showers/Loos- Not the cleanest I have ever seen- they only seem to clean at eye level so the walls were quite grubby. The mens toilets were not as clean as the ladies, in the cleaners defence it seemed someone staying at the site had some quite disgusting habits- cleaner can not be on duty 24/7. The showers were mostly hot in the ladies, apparently my husband had a few cold ones though. Biggest complaint was that most of the showers only last 5 seconds before the button needs pressing again- understand the need to conserve water but 5 seconds much too short.
Shop/Cafe- Shop stocked all the essentials and quite a bit more- no fresh bread though. Lots of kids medicines/toys & treats. Fairly pricey but not the worst campsite shop I have seen. Cafe was OK, good breakfast- 2 full english for £7. Also small takewaway menu.
Disco- Childrens games after bingo so 8-9.30 a bit late for the very young children. Generally good music and nice atmosphere.
Pool- Very busy in hot weather but always managed to find at least one chair to put our things on. Pool is lifeguard attended during the day. Main pool slightly heated but still chilly! Toddler pool not heated at all which was a shame.
Staff were hardworking & friendly. Excellent bird of prey display on Thursday mornings and animal show on Friday mornings- kids were mesmerized. I probably would return to Whitehill and would give it 8/10.
This is a large site that caters for tents and caravans and is spread over numerous fields. We booked this site based on the amenities and location. We were travelling in a small group with no children.
We had been given a tent pitch on the top of a hill, underneath a pylon (which buzz as soon as it rained)this however wasn't a problem as we were visiting the site for a well earned weekend break and to let our hair down). The pitch was extremely windy and proved highly challenging to lit the BBQ. The Toilets were portaloo's and a little smelly. We later visited the bar which was full of kids, running back and forth between the bar and disco, not really enjoyable if you don't have kids so decided to have some drinks at the tent instead.
We made friends with a adjacent tent and sat chatting into the early hours. A chap came over to the tent around 12am and asked if we would turn our music down which we replied that we would turn it off and apologised as we hadn't thought the wind would carry the noise from the tiny speakers so far. We continued to chat and retired around 2am (it was a friday night).
Next day we went out into Torquay and had a lovely day exploring - when we returned we had a note on the tent asking us to report to reception. On route to reception we were shouted at by a member of staff to go to reception (which we were on route to), whilst in reception we were told our noise from the night before was sooo excessive we were to leave the site immediately. We were not given the opportunity to defend ourselves and as it had gone 4pm we needed to pack up quickly and find another campsite.
This site was very beautiful and had a outdoor headed pool (which we didn't get to use as asked to leave so late in the day).
This site is focused on familys and children. We were later told that there is to be NO noise after 11pm which I think is silly rule as even children cry during those hours.
We just keep coming back here as its a great site.
Not really altered that much in 3 years.
If you want better views book for Sweet Hills, but be warned the showers are a walk down a steep slope. Nothing too strenuous and literally walked in 30 seconds. If you prefer the amenities closer then book into the other two fields. They have added power supplies to nearly all pitches for this year so a lot more choice for the 'comfy campers' like us.
There is a great 'jungle gym' style climbing frame for the kids to explore, and wildlife spotting too. Rabbits and Birds of Prey chiefly.
As always the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The pool was great with a very attentative lifeguard at all times.
We were a little disappointed by two things this year however. The kiddie disco was not on the Friday or Saturday nights at the end of our 9 days - much to the disappointment of my daughters as they were really looking forward to it after enjoying it so much the last two years. Also no hot water for washing up on the Sweet Hills field. A bit annoying but got to say not going to stop us going back year after year - this campsite just ticks all the boxes.
Its tucked away in the fields and trees so you really feel away from it all, and yet so much on the doorstep!
A big Morrisons and Sainsburys literally 5 minutes away in the car so shopping is no problem (if of course the well stocked camp shop can't help). If you don't fancy cooking, McDonalds and KFC also close by plus chippys and takeaways galor in Paignton and Torquay. Plus of course some lovely pubs serving great food.
Beach wise there are several close by. Torquay and Paignton a little disappointinmg, but Goodrington Sands quite nice, and several more worth rooting out - Broadsands is excellent.
The list goes on really - so much to do! Model Village, Zoo, Sealife, Bygones, Goodrington Water Park, Paignton Pier, Amusement Arcades, Brixham Harbour (with a neat replica of the Golden Hind I might add) - so much to do and only 2 weeks to do it in!
Again we recommend this site - we keep going back year after year!
Second time we have visited this site for our two week main holiday, we love it here. When you check in one of the wardens on a golf buggy shows you to your pitch which are mostly level and of a good size so large tents are ok. Toilet blocks are basic but always have hot water and are clean. There is a new shower block at the bottom of the hill which is massive so no queues and there is a really good mirrored area with plugs for your hairdryer and straightener. Entertainment is great (although the club is quite small) with quizzes, bingo and games for the kids. The pool is medium sized so on hot days it does get crowded but it rained every day we were there so no problem for us! Decent cafe and shop on site and kids activities during the day. Lovely site, helpful staff and reasonably priced. Worth going to Goodrington Sands, great for rock pooling and watching the steam trains and there's even a cafe and toilets. Perfect!
