 We stayed for 5 nights over the jubilee weekend. The site was very busy despite the unseasonal weather, but we never felt crammed in or overcrowded.
I can only repeat what other reviewers have said. Toilet blocks were outstanding, always clean, plentiful hot water and no queues.
Staff were pleasant and helpful and was nice to see wardens patrolling during the evenings.
There's plenty for the kids to do, playgrounds and pools and evening entertainment if you want it.
Kids are already nagging to go back next year.
It's not the cheapest around but worth paying the extra for such a lovely site.

Just returned from a lovely week at Cofton, this was our first visit to the site and we will definitely be returning. The staff were friendly and helpful, the site was well run, the toilets and showers were spotless. The shop is very reasonably priced and well stocked.
Our 10 year old son loved the outdoor pool (bit cold for us. ) and three playgrounds, plenty of open space for him to run around and ride his scooter.
Lovely woodland walk into Dawlish Warren takes about 40 minutes, then can walk into Dawlish town from there about an hour. If too much walking bus stop right outside park only costing £11. 00 return for two adults and two children.
They are currently building an indoor complex will be going back next year to test that out.

Oh dear. Second year and standards slipped. All focus seems to be on new indoor leisure complex and less on existing facilities. Showers and toilets still very clean but locks missing from doors and hooks to hang clothes also missing so limited choice.
Site was busier than 2011 but everyone was squashed on to 2 fields while 2/3 other fields remained empty - why? For price they charge we could at least have been allowed to spread out.
Also grass around pitches had not been cut for a while so with the rain you ended up with wet jeans every time we went out Advertised the football being shown in bar area so we went - one TV and no chance of seeing it. We asked if large upstairs room ( with large screen tv) could be opened and were told manager did not want to so we left - poor customer service.
Best thing about this visit was Anchor and Ship pubs 1/2 mile down round

If you want a peaceful, relaxing time with your motorhome. Forget this place !
The grass pitches only had to smell rain, and they became an instant bog. Whilst my wife and I were there we were up to our ankles in mud right outside our door. Not ideal
The alcho campers were there in abundance, and some were not adverse to encroaching on your pitch with their guide lines and awnings.
The toilets and showers were spotless.
The staff at reception were helpful and polite, but a little green around the ears.
Will not be going to this noisy, unsupervised site again.

Just returned from a 5 night break at this fab site.
We stayed with the Devon DA, and were put in one of the far fields which would normally mean long walks to the toilet blocks and poor pitching conditions. Not in this case, this site is fab in a major way,
It has just been awarded premier status, cant think why, could it be that the toilet blocks are the best I've ever used,
The staff are very friendly, the park has everything you could ask for.
Great for kids. They can play very safe and there's loads for them to do.
Would we return oh yes. Keep up the good work Cofton

Stayed at Cofton Park in march last year it really is a great park.
The food is very well priced and the location is great.
Plenty of walks around although we had difficulties taking our son's wheelchair through the walk to the beach. That's not the fault of Cofton as its a public walk.
Staff were friendly and the Swimming pool looked great although we couldn't take a dip due to the weather.
Facilities for disabled were great.

Not my normal type of site but being close season the bar/clubhouse/pool et al were all closed and have to agree with all previous favourable comments.
A very nice setting in a wooded valley with several fishing lakes, reception friendly and efficient, toilets and showers clean. 15 min.
Walk past the church leads to two GBG listed pubs Ship Inn and Anchor both do food and real ales with The Anchor doing food all day. Bus stop on camp site entrance with frequent services to Exeter and last bus back as late as 11 pm.
Good for cycling with a cycle route to Exeter nearby. Plenty of wild life around heard Tawny Owl and spotted a Kingfisher on the fishing lakes.
Only negative some slight road noise on our hard standing pitch by the lakes but nothing too troublesome.

Beautiful site, all facilities very well maintained and clean, plenty of hot water.
Hardstanding pitch overlooking fishing lakes, lovely to watch the wildlife; the lakes are beautiful and are enjoyable to walk round.
The pitches are normal size, plenty of room for unit, awning and car (all included in price).
Dawlish and Dawlish Warren both lovely places, also not far from Exeter.
Easy cycle ride/walk to Starcross, another nice place.
Worked out at only £13. 50 per night (14 nights) including electricity. Would recommend this site.

Just returned from a week end at Cofton Country Holidays and really enjoyed this lovely campsite, very well maintained grounds and facilities, toilets and shower blocks were spotless and plenty of them. We chose are own pitch only downfall it was grass but to be honest we’re glad that all the hard standings were all full when we booked because they are very small and on top of each other and a bit pricey for what you get.
The club house was a little on the small side for the size of the site but they are building a new indoor swimming pool and club house in time for next year. We had a meal in the club house which was standard pub grub but the pub at Cockwood harbour the Anchor Inn had a fantastic menu at very reasonable prices so when we return we will call in for a meal. We had lovely chips from the Chippy on site.
This is an ideal place to bring children as the play facilities are fab, we did try out the zip wire in the woodland adventure! we wouldn’t use this site at high season as our children are grown up and I would imagine it gets very busy in the school holidays.
The walk through the woods to Dawlish Warren is lovely and very well sign posted we then walked along the sea front to Dawlish which was a pleasant surprise! On the walk back instead of walking back through the woods to Cofton we carried on along the new cycle track to Cockwood Harbour and the campsite is about a 15 min level walk back.
We would most definitely use this site at quieter times and look forward to going back
Wish more sites were like this one

We loved this site, very well run with friendly helpful staff. Arrived at midday and shown to a pitch after being asked what sort of pitch and area we preferred. Pitch flat and big enough for Montana 6 with extension and estate car. Shower blocks modern and clean with Heart radio playing.
Portacabin toilet block on our field old but clean and only a 2 minute downhill walk to showers/toilets (not so easy on way back up, will be going on that diet for next year!). Never had to queue and site was full.
Play area and basketball court and also a woodland play area with zipwire which our 2 preferred.
Brilliant pool as big as it looks in pics, fairly warm probably nicest pool we have used this side of channel. Had a meal at the pub which was reasonably priced and nice (Harvester type meal). Lots of organised activities although we didn't try any.
Days out, lots to do in area, we went to Paignton zoo which was really good and Creally which was excellent with Tesco vouchers paying but not sure worth the £63 it would have cost. Son did water zorbing at Creally for £3 which was good value. Exeter city with Cathedral good for a visit on a rainy day (we had 4 rainy days out of 5).
No real negatives except very busy (expected as bank holiday weekend at end of our stay), very hilly (didn't realise how fat/unfit I am), and I agree with the reviewer about the lanes being one way.
Would we go again definitely, looking to book for next summer.

Lovely site, we visited in August 2011, and apart from mixed weather had a good holiday.
The tents were a little more packed together than sites we had previously visited, but the facilities were very good.
The toilets and shower block were very clean and I never once had to wait for a shower. The playgrounds were excellent too as there was a small park and a bit of an adventure playground in a small wooded area with a zip wire.
The first night we ate at the pub on site and had a very good value meal, there was also entertainment above the pub which we used once to see a group that too was good.
The shop was well stocked and the staff very good and helpful. It was a couple of miles away from Dawlish and a very nice pub/restaurant called the Smugglers Inn also within a couple of minutes drive.

Me, my partner and our four children spent a week here. Great field layout and well maintained pitches. Close to toilet block which were plentiful and clean.
Washing up facilities excellent. Pool was used by the kids although not always heated! Site shop was reasonable priced. Woodland walks in Dawlish and scenery is fantastic.
BBQ next to pool somedays and clubhouse (which was quite loud in evenings - not for us I'm afraid).
Staff in buggies directed us to our pitch. Chip shop on site as well as laundry facilities. Little arcade room for kids. Very busy - no sooner had someone left, someone else pulled on.
Babbacombe Model Village well worth a visit and had many trips to Teignmouth pier (2p machines!)
Would visit again and recommend.

Beautiful campsite, very clean and well maintained!
This was our third visit to Cofton and each time it gets better, really is the best place we've camped by far.
Kids kept entertained in day with gloriously clean swimming pool and choice of play parks and at night by a good variety of child centred entertainment.
Toilets and showers are plentiful and cleaned regularly.
Can't fault the location, the site or the facilities. Don't hesitate to go especially with children, you won't be disappointed.

Just returned from a great week at Cofton. The site is huge, but very well organised. Only had to wait for about 10 mins to check-in, and once done so, a member of the 'ground staff' show you some pitches to choose from and take you there to show you, which is a great service, and the guy who we had was very helpful and asked us whether we wanted to be nearer the pool/playground or in a quieter spot. You're given a sticker for your car windscreen (to ensure there are no 'unauthorised' cars entering the site, which is good for security.
Facilities: There are ample shower/toilet facilities which are free which is a bonus, and the hot water never runs out. Same goes for the washing pots facilities - again plenty of sinks (never had to queue). The shop stocks everything and more that you'd need on a campsite, however also there is a Sainsbury's 2 minutes drive away. The Chippy takeaway is great, although we had to queue for over 30 mins on the Sat. Night, so be mindful of busy times. The swimming pool is nice and big, with a lifeguard always on duty. They do a great job of keeping it clean. We didn't use the pub as that's not our thing with 2 young children, however it did seem small for the number of people on site.
Dawlish (the closest town/beach) is lovely, with lots of little shops, an amusement arcade, and a beach.
Overall, we would return, as we had a great time.
Only improvement we would suggest is to make the 2 little lanes just by the main playground one way (ie. Only go up the left lane and only come down the right lane). With the amount of kids on scooters and bikes whizzing around, it's difficult to watch for them and oncoming cars too.

Just got back from our first time at Cofton, brilliant site with so much to do, staff very friendly and helpful (especially when an hour after arriving our little 19 month old decided to go walkabout, was found in someone else's car, all staff were alerted and on the lookout)Everything was always clean and tidy.
Camped on the ten acre field and newly refurbished shower block opened on the day we arrived. Will be even better once the family bathroom is finished (although not far to walk to the current family bathroom)
All the pitches were level and really good size, even for our large footprint Sahara6.
We didn't try the Swan Pub as I had tonsillitis, but the entertainment sounded brilliant and all went quiet at 11pm!
My boys (4 and 19 months) loved the playground and the donkeys. I could even let them go to the park by themselves as we could see perfectly from our tent. The weather was so hot the pool was packed everyday but still plenty of room for everyone.
Chippy on site was brilliant and even did Jacket Potatoes.
My only criticism/suggestion would be to put some benches next to the football field as the teenagers took to sitting on the bank (right next to our tent)
Would highly recommend to anyone, will definitely go back again.
