This is an extremely well-maintained and clean campsite with excellent facilities, including popular swimming pools and a wide range of activities for all ages. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful. Pitches are generally spacious and the site is well-located. Minor drawbacks mentioned include occasionally slow service in food outlets and some extra charges for amenities like WiFi, with a few visitors noting an issue with shower timers and a lack of soap in some toilet blocks.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The facilities, entertainment team and the team behind bar worked really hard to make our holiday a special one. Arcade was really good and we loved that there were 4 pool tables and managed to always get on on. Location is fantastic base to go and explore the area, we even went all the way to Newquay in Cornwall. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked to stay at Cofton next July and have recommend it to friends of ours for August this year.
Disliked The extras for indoor pool but unless you go to terms and conditions you would not know that you have to pay to get in. I was told steam room/sauna if you want to use it, but not if you were under 16 so could not use it with my son. Charged for internet that would not work. Positives definitely out way the negatives though.

Lovely camp, lots to do and brilliant facilities.
9 metre electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Grounds staff very helpful and show you to your pitch which was a nice touch. The camp kept lovely and tidy, outdoor pool area lovely, toilets beautiful and clean, shop well stocked and not badly priced. Would love to revisit and check out more of the amenities!
Disliked The chip shop was hugely over priced and the electricity system they have in place is confusing. Asked my husband for his email address to set up an account to load money on, they had already set it up in my email address but we didn’t know. Took us nearly 2 hours to get electricity working. WiFi £12 for 24 hours isn’t the cheapest but does work well.

From the manager: Thank you Emma for your detailed review! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the helpful grounds staff, clean facilities and well-stocked shop—it’s great to know that the little touches made a difference to your stay. We’re also pleased you enjoyed the outdoor pool area and are considering a return to check out more of what we offer!
We do apologise for the confusion around the electricity system and the chip shop pricing. Your feedback on these areas is really helpful and we’ll definitely look into making things smoother for our future guests. We understand that the WiFi cost might seem a bit steep, but we’re happy it worked well for you once you had it set up.
Thank you again for your feedback and we’d love to welcome you back for another visit soon!

7.5 metre electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch
Liked This site is absolutely incredible! The facilities are amazing, especially with young children. The parks, swimming pools, soft play, restaurants, entertainment was all just wonderful.
The motor home pitch was great, spacious and near the facilities we needed. Toilets and showers were very clean.
Disliked The only downside we found was that we spent around £50 in the arcade, and won enough tickets for a squishy toy that was worth about £2!!
