 Have been back 2 weeks now and the tents only just dried out! never the less what a good site, only problem seems to be everybody and his dog wants to be shown to their pitch at the same time and some people just won't wait! it took me nearly 30 minutes and two arguments about who was next.
Superb facilities, heated pool (with lifeguard), takeaway, bar with fantastic decking and well stocked shop(keep an eye on the closing times).plenty of extra activities in evidence like birds of prey shows. ask for coombe meadow (fifties and low sixties seemed to be the best) if you want electric hook up.
A lot of sloping pitches on sweethill, so be careful on that one!Toilet blocks ok but you can see the signs of ageing on some, plenty of hot water in the mens block but the wife says the womens were cold occassionally.
All in all we enjoyed ourselves and will be back.

First visited this site 22y ears ago and have to say should be getting discount for all the recommendations we have made to our friends since then. The site itself has not changed much and that is what we like about it The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful, from reception to the take away -there is a very polite young man there (with blonde hair). John still does a great disco, even after all these years.The craft centre is a great addition. Also we loved the decking that has been added onto the outside of the bar.
There is a five year plan pinned up in reception and once all the improvements are made it will be a super place.
Only gripe would have to be the state of the main toilet block near Great Orchard, it really needs to be refurbished. Also we do not like taking our dishes into the toilet block.
But apart from that we love the site and would not want it to change too much, just enough to make it an even better place to have a great holiday.

Just back from our 2nd camping trip and what a great site we found! I called to book but was told no need as we didn't require electric hook up and they had plenty of space. We could choose from available pitches.
The facilities were great, the pool really was heated, and the showers and toilets were clean and plenty of them! The shop is well stocked and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There was a great disco that the kids (ok me as well) loved.
There was plenty of play areas for the kids to enjoy. They have a new craft room this year where you can paint pottery or get your hair braided or the kids can paint and colour! A really nice touch.
The owners clearly want to provide the best for people who stay on their site. We stayed 7 nights and would have stayed longer had the sun still been shining!
The beach at Goodrington Sands was well worth a visit as was Paignton Zoo. We will definitely visit this site again.

Just visited site for first time, had a great holiday and the site is an excellent base for lots of local attractions, especially for young families. The site has great facilities, bar for adults with live music & smoke free childrens area's, amusements & kids disco etc, all very good. Outside pool is very warm & has life guard, also plenty of kids playarea's etc.
Only downside to the site is most pitches are on a hill, and standard of cleaning to the toilets is very poor, the main block is a 1970's affair and does not look like it has been spent on since then, also the facilities for washing dishes are in the toilets!
There are also newer smaller toilets around the site, and although these are cleaned the young attendants never once mopped the floors. Overall a great site let down by lack of cleanliness to the toilets which were dirtier then every public toilet the the area.

Visited just last week, our first time staying here and we had a fantastic time. Great facilities all very clean, especially the showers and toilets. Friendly staff, very helpful in answering our questions. Lovely swimming pool - particularly in the hot weather we had! Will definitely be back next year!

We have just returned from the best Holiday we have ever had and it is mainly thanks to this superb park.
We were greeted by a cheary young lady behind reception and we were then showed to our pitch. Great views over the hills and good to watch two birds of prey daily catching their food.
Bit of a walk down the hill to the shower block and a Little caravan with toilets very close to the tents.
Well stocked shop with ice pack hire and cafe which does an amazing full breakfast. One bar upstairs and next to that is a family area and then int another bar which had a disco every night.
Very nice heated pool with sun loungers around it with the Cafe also doing takeaways.
This place is the best. (we think so anyway)

I visited this site based upon the numerous and positive reviews on ukcampsites. On looking at their campsite web page and brochure, I was encouraged by the beautiful pictures depicting the site. The reality on arriving however convinced me that they had got their moneys worth in terms of the pictures taken for both the web site and brochure; a large part of the site appearing to be overshadowed by an imposing electricity pylon and cables not apparent in the pictures (although I would expect no site to fixate on this as part of their marketing campaign!)
I had also decided to stay here based upon the owners declaring the swimming pool to remain open (albeit unheated) immediately after the Easter holidays (we can stand the cold). On arrival however, we were told that there was a technical problem with the pool and that it would remain closed (which although no fault of their own, was still very disappointing to us). It must however be said that the site does not advertise the pool open for this period, and our being able to use it would have simply been a bonus.
The weather was generally poor during our stay, which I think blighted my experience of the site, although the resident ducks (who enjoyed our bread) appeared to thrive on it (nice to see them)! Well drained pitches and easy pegging, although a lot of pitches were on heavily sloping areas (be sure to specify your requirements). A relatively quiet road borders the site.
The toilets and showers were second to none, as was the advice given by the helpful owners (thank you to the young lady who reccomended the indian takeaway in Torquay, as the meal was excellent). We did not visit the bar or shop (there is a Sainsburys nearby), so cannot comment on these.
I cannot criticise this site in any way (although neither can I sum up anything particularly outstanding to recommend about it). Personally, I felt that the site had a desolate feel during our off-peak visit, which I believe would not prevail at busier periods. The site offers very reasonable rates of stay, and should not be discounted on the basis of my honest impression (which lies in stark contrast to prior reviews).

This was only our second camping trip and we came across Whitehill by chance. We stayed at the last weekend of the Easter holidays and was amazed at how quiet it was. (only 1 other tent on our field). We arrived on the Thursday and by the Friday at 12 the shop was closed until the next bank holiday. I am sure the bar, pool, games room etc. are all extremely busy at peek season though! In fact I think it would have been too busy for us then because these facilities were quite small for the 500 or so camping pitches! The staff were very friendly. My only disappointment was that I had not realised there were over head pylons above us until we arrived, which buzz when it rains. The grass is well maintained and toilets / showers were clean. Dish washing facilities were indoor in either men's toilets (1) or ladies toilets (5) on our field, however all outside on the other fields Overall very nice and we had a lovely time cycling around the site.

We travel with a group of friends from East Yorkshire to Whitehill and have done for the last 4 years. The staff who work on site are friendly and helpful. Although there is lots to do on site there are also lots of things around and about to do, Quay West, Paignton Zoo, Brixham and Cayman Golf are a few of our favourites.
Whitehill also gives you the opportunity to meet friends from all over the country. The site is safe for children and even though ours are all grown up we look forward to taking our grandchildren. If its relaxation you want the pool area is fantastic or a lazy day outside your tent does just the trick. If you want a rest from driving you can catch the bus which stops just outside the gates.
We all love Whitehill so much we booked this years holiday before we even finished our 2005 one.

After visiting Whitehill for over 30 years we have watched it grow and grow from a little booking in shed n chippy to a great family place. I was just 4 years old the first time we went and carried on the tradition with my children. And yes I still love it. We visit time and time again and never get bored . In the evening we go down to Stoke Gabriel with our crab lines {with belly draft, best crab food out} and have crab catching competitions.
I think everyone who goes to Devon should try whitehill at least once weither in a tent or a caravan it a place of special memories for me and all happy ones.A nd now its making happy memories for my children {who are now all teenagers}. The best thing about Whitehill is the freedom that the children can have and always feel safe.

My family have visited this site 5 times. You must book up early to get a level site. There are 3 playgrounds for children and an outdoor swimming pool. There is a good cafe and shop onsite. Evening entertainment for children up to 11 is excellent. Adult entertainment just ok although the camp has new owners, so might improve next year. The site is ideal for visiting Paignton (15 mins drive) Brixham, Dartmouth and Totnes. It's one of the friendliest sites we have been to and I would highly recommend it.

Fabulous site. Very well organised, friendly helpful staff. Upon arrival you are impressed by what you see (beautiful county setting) and this continued throughout our stay. Super pool which is heated, excellent laundrette facilities. The DJ is great with the kids they all love the games he organises(Treasure Hunt). Great pitch in the great orchard area although it was slightly sloping. Very clean washroom facilites. Super value for money all round, we have booked again for next year. Although this was peak season you never felt crowded together. Plenty of room for the children to play if they did not want to use the playgrounds provided. They have created a good family atmosphere without this becomming that all too familliar commercialised approach. I cannot praise this site enough we had such a fabulous holiday with them, along with our children we cannot wait to return. The only point of concern is the very narrow road leading to the site.

This is a lovely campsite situated a couple of miles off the main road from Paignton to Totnes. It's about 15 minutes by car from both towns. You get an immediate impression of cleanliness and tidiness on arrival and you're not disappointed.
There are two bars, one where children's discos take place, plus a myriad of games facilities. A Sainsbury's is five minutes away by car if you run out of supplies but if you don't feel like cooking they have a restaurant specialising in big portions.There are plenty of showers, toilets, washing machines, and ironing (what?) facilities. The swimming pool is heated and provided with sun loungers all around.
The pitches are even and well spaced and there are dozens with power hook-ups. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and intend to return in September.

Lovely site located amongst the rolling Devon Hills, just on the outskirts of Paignton. Very clean site, with good facilities.
Positives - Directed to pitch, Lovely WARM swimming pool lifeguard attended, caravan pitches are level, dated but plentiful showers, one of the best laundry facilities I have seen, good shop with a good range of goods including newspapers, entertainment in high season, cafe, takeaway and bar.
My parents stayed in a static caravan on site whilst we were there, and rated them as well! Nice play areas.
Negatives - Situated up a lane, which can get narrow in places, shop a little pricey for some things.
