 My husband and I stayed on this site for a couple of nights towards the end of September. On driving through the entrance, the site looks very picturesque with its barn style buildings which contain the bar, shop, reception and games room. It also has a lovely outdoor swimming pool but this was closed due to it being the end of the season.
The campsite was virtually empty and we were allocated a pitch in the bottom field which was a bit of a walk up to the bar etc, but as we're both fit and healthy we didn't really mind that. The plus side of being in this field was that it was right next to the new toilet and shower block which was very well planned out and kept spotlessly clean.
The bar was quite modern but as it was inside a barn it had a quaint feeling to it. They sold a good selection of drinks and it was a very pleasant atmosphere.
The surrounding area is lovely and Stoke Gabriel is within walking distance (20 mins) although you have to walk along the winding country road which can be a bit scary especially at night when it's dark. We also took our bikes and cycled into Paignton which wasn't too far, although a bit hilly.
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay on this site and would definitely return again if we're in that area.

We booked this campsite after reading the reviews on this site. The only gripe on site page was scruffy toilet blocks and washing up area. WELL we arrived at site and put up our tent(for the first time) and the children 3 under 4 years were loving running around and were safe to do so. The site piches are quite big we managed to put up our 17ft tunnel tent and gazebo and a paddling pool and park our car. The site had lovely washing up area really clean and loads of sinks and draining boards. The play areas are lovely for little children as well as older ones and the pool is amazing so warm like getting into a bath absolutely amazing. The toilet and shower facilities were also great. Not hotel standars obviously(but then its not a hotel) But clean and tidy and nice and you dont pay for the showers etc. I cannot say enough about this site the shop is great and has everything you need and the food in restaurant is good. Paignton zoo is fantastic and definitely worth a visit. We had an amazing week at Whitehill and I will be returning asap. The price was also very good I paid approx £80 for 5 nights and got 1 night free I think.

Visited this very large site Aug bank holiday, toilets blocks and shower facilities clean and plentiful with hot water. Wonderful view across the countryside.
Pitch size was the best we have ever seen, and three main fields and one overflow field with no facilities. The pitches were mainly on slopes so it was quite hard to cook on and you found yourself slipping down your airbed at night - but didn't really bother us too much. There was an adventure playground near the woods and the caravan site, and two other playgrounds on the site. The bar and cafe were very clean and modern set in what looked like a barn conversion along with an arcade and the family room where the night time entertainment was held.
In the afternoon they offer children's activities ie face painting, colouring, hair beading and pottery painting -the pottery was more like plaster of paris though and quite expensive to do.
Other facilities included a laundry room, and a unisex hairdryer room with plugs to bring your own hairdryer/straighteners. Also in the barn conversion was a well stocked but overpriced store. The outdoor heated pool had a life guard on duty most of the time.
Site was in a perfect position for visiting the Torbay area. It was situated in the countryside away from any traffic noise.
A tip for those people who are looking to spend the week there - buy a week car parking for £26.50 pass from the tourist information centres or the council. It covers the council Torbay car parks to include Paignton, Brixham and Torquay. It saves a great deal and you don't need to worry about rooting around for change all the time.
The children loved Brixham in the evening after enjoying seaside fish & chips - they would go crabbing in the harbour a very cheap and enjoyable activity that keeps them occupied for ages!
For an overview the site was noisy at times but did calm down when the entertainment stopped. Everything was clean and the grounds were spotless. One particular young lady in the reception was very helpful and kind.
We would return but not during such a busy time of the year as we are not noisy campers and are generally tucked up in bed by 9.30pm as we have young children and the noise of people returning to their tents did wake us quite often.

This was our first camping holiday with our children, age 13 and 9, and I can only say that they had one of the best holidays ever.
A very pretty campsite with plenty to do, we were fortunate to have such lovely weather too. Toilets, free hot showers and sinks only 50 yards away, about the same distance from all pitches. Lovely safe outdoor play areas, nice swimming pool, really friendly staff, a good mini market, and good evening entertainment for the kids and adults, air hockey and table tennis in the family area. There is also a small cafe/takeaway which is quite reasonable! The campsite is also very close to all the local attractions, we did the zoo, Woodlands and Quay West. I highly recommend this campsite, we had a great holiday and can't wait to come back next year!

Stayed here over the bank holiday. Good site, great facilities although could do with an update, but clean and well stocked.
Site has all you could need for children, with the pool, craft centre and amusements inside. Great food at the bar/takeaway.
Shop was stocked with most essentials you would need.
Slightly sloping pitches, in places but nothing major. Only down side we found was there is no facility to freeze your own ice packs, you have to hire them at the shop and as you can imagine on a bank holiday weekend with the weather as good as it was they had sold out in minutes.
Great surrounding area, down a country lane and central to Paignton (2 miles) and Torquay (5 miles)
All in all we had a good stay there and would go back again.

Just had a week here and enjoyed ourselves. We were in the Great Orchard section and the toilet and shower facilities are excellent (just opened) There was constant hot water and plenty of toilets including a family room and disabled shower room. The cleaners seemed to be there all the time making sure they were kept up to a high standard. My sister stayed in another area of the campsite and even though the facilities there were older they were also being constantly cleaned.
The pool was good with a life guard in attendance. There was a free "birds of prey" show and later in the week for a small fee scuba diving. The craft centre was useful as we had rain and the kids enjoyed it. The disco was noisy but where we were it didn't bother us.
Having been born in Paignton it was good to go back and revisit local attractions. Paignton Zoo was good value for money, Kents Cavern was also good and Dartmoor is well worth a visit. The site reception had discount vouchers for various attractions. Very friendly staff who were always willing to help.

Just back from a great week here. It is a family site, but we are a couple in our late twenties with no children and still had a great time.
Clean and pleasant toilets and shower blocks. Space to plug in your own hairdryer and straighteners (very important requirement!)
The kids all seemed very happy with the outdoor heated pool. Space for the adults to sunbathe round the pool, but it did seem busy at all times.
Very friendly and helpful staff in all areas (bar/shop/restaurant/reception).
Don't take your own ice blocks - you pay to hire theirs and they refreeze them for you (£1 to hire and 30p to refreeze).
Entertainment every night ranging from singers, quizzes, bingo, disco, kids games.
Sainsburys, Morrsions, McDonalds and KFC all nearby!

Fantastic site. Facilities are immaculate, more than enough toilets, showers etc. And very, very well maintained and cleaned.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location near to Paignton. Pitch size very good.
Our eldest child took part in the scuba lessons arranged by the site and had a great time.
Pool is great too. The site shop had everything you could wish for.
We have stayed there twice and will definitely return.

Visited Whitehill holiday park. Can't fault the site, although there are pylons they soon went unnoticed. Its a very clean site with facilities which are cleaned regularly. One word of warning, the approach road from Collaton St Mary A385(stoke road)is a 30 mph for the first few hundred yards then changes to a national speed limit and becomes very narrow and bendy in places. The road is very busy and if you are towing a trailer or caravan approach with caution as the drivers coming the other direction seem to forget where the brake pedal is. (especially transit vans and pick ups) After reading this do NOT be tempted to go down Yalberton road from the main A380 as this is even narrower.

Enjoyed our stay here very much. Good site with most things you could want. Pitch size was excellent, toilet blocks very clean and tidy, plenty of hot water etc.
Lovely spot out in the country, plenty of wildlife (lost count of the amount of rabbits we saw).
Nice bar but could possibly be crowded in the peak weeks as is small.
All in all a nice site, will return hopefully with better weather next time!

Arrived in dry weather and left in dry weather - weather during week mainly RAIN but this didn't deter us - great site as we have visited before many years ago. Great facilities, this even includes hot showers and plenty of running water., plenty of space for the children to run around - playgrounds ok. Very safe site. The takeaway / granary / bar., etc - ok reasonably priced. Shop on site has most of the essential items required and not badly priced either.
Pool lovely and warm - mind you we only dipped our toes., the children thought it was great though. Staff very friendly and helpful with any questions or queries - on arrival we were shown on the site map where our pitch was - very easy to find. Very clean and tidy site. Top marks. We will be visiting again but hopefully the weather might be better next time., as on each visit it's been average., not the med or Riviera we expected ! We would recommend this site to fellow tenters and caravanners alike !

Is was out second visit to Whitehill and we can recommend the site for families we are a family of seven. There are various activities. This includes a Birds of pray display (free), kayaking in the pool as a tester session that includes games (free) and a try scuba diving in the pool session (£10). These extras give the site the X factor. Toilets were clean and the shop was well stocked.

Had a week here and what else can I say the site was top notch. The facilities were very clean even though it was a very busy week the pub was friendly and had outside facilities. There was a outdoor pool which was always clean and had life guards on duty most of the day. The site had a café, laundrette, and shop all of which perform very well. The site does not seem to have any fenced pitches but this was not a problem as the pitches are well spaced out so you have the privacy which is required for the family to enjoy them selves in the paddling pool etc but still be close enough to neighbours to share a “hello”. The site, as its name suggests, is in the countryside so don’t expect to be too close to Paington or Torquay. We took a daily drive to both which come with the usual seaside price tag on parking, but as this is nothing to do with the site I will say no more. The country side around the sit appears very nice and there seems to be lots of walking for people who are inclined to such activities. J Overall this site was very good. Very clean, very friendly, nice location. We are planning on returning next year.

Went to this campsite as a kid with my parents and have many fond memories. Now its my turn to take my kids on their first camping trip and was amazed to fond this place has hardly changed.
Nice big pitches and plenty of amenities. We stayed on the Summerhills field where there are 2 sets of toilets for gents and ladies, chemical loo disposal facility AND a seperate "hut" with sinks and hot water for washing up pots. The main shower block is a very short walk down a hill, (well more of a slope really), and was nicely surprised to find the hot water is free for showers, shaving, washing up, etc.
Very friendly staff. Arrived early but no problems letting us set up camp there and then.
Well stocked shop with all your needs catered for. They've got the usual buckets and spades, etc and food, but also camping accessories like replacement gas cylinders and even regulators.
Lovely pool area with life guard and paddling pool for the really little uns too. Really nice pub and decking area, but pub is a little on the small side so if you want a seat get there early, (had to stand outside to watch England getting knocked out of World Cup!) The list goes on, craft area, disco and amusement arcade for the kids plus a takeaway on site when you can't be bothered driving anywhere.
They have a limited number of pitches with electric hookup and saw many security patrols during our 10 day stay.
Whitehill is located off a quiet B road so no traffic noise. There is also a farm selling proper scrumpy cider within 1 minutes drive also! For shopping there is a Morrisons supermarket within 5 minutes drive, and Paignton Zoo is right next to it. Goodrington Sands is an excellent beach and is less than 10 minutes away by car, as is Paignton town centre with its beachfront, shops and pier! Word of advice get a council weekly car park pass for £25 (lets you use pay and display car parks for free!) Go to Whitehill Farm, its a lovely site for first timers or those returning to relive their childhood!

A nice site that needs a little tender love and care by making new washing / toilet blocks, as we were there they planned to have new ones for 2007.
The entertainment I cannot comment on too much as we were told that unless you get into the hay barn before 7pm you cannot get seated, that's how small it is.
The site is too big to cater for entertainment as there are too many pitches there I am told it was about 390 pitches and another field had been opened this year as well.
A very noisy site if your near the park as the park should close at 9 I think but kids never stopped playing there so a lot of people were getting distressed about it and all I saw has a ranger on his quad coming down every so often to sort things out.
They need to remove the park from areas where people are sleeping or move the people areas further away!
On the whole I would not go back to this park as I am sure I can find others near paignton that might suit me better.
