What customers say
Golden Sands Holiday Park offers well-equipped pods in a great location, close to the beach and local amenities. Guests frequently praise the friendly staff, the warm swimming pool, and family-friendly entertainment. However, a recurring concern across many reviews is the cleanliness and maintenance of the toilet and shower blocks, with reports of leakages, broken facilities, and infrequent cleaning. Some visitors also found Wi-Fi to be unreliable or expensive, and the pool booking system occasionally restrictive. Pods themselves are generally described as clean and comfortable, though some note minor issues like dust or cobwebs.

Camping pod
Liked The pod was comfortable and the Dawlish area was very nice.
Disliked An outside tap is needed to fill the water containers of the furthest away pods on the hill.
The pod cleaning needs to be improved. Including outside.
A tarmac access road would keep the dust levels down from passing vehicles.

Great little site with plenty to do, staff lovely
Camping pod
Liked POD we stayed in was lovely and clean, the whole site was spotless, food in the restaurant was delicious and well priced, in a great location, staff were very friendly and helpful.
Disliked WiFi was not good at all so our children got a little bored at times, we never got to use the pool as there was a line at opening in the morning to get a slot so weren’t lucky enough to get in, restaurant and clubhouse were together so was rather noisy while trying to eat
