‘I’m off to the Riviera,’ is how you should announce booking your Paignton campsite to your envious colleagues, who will likely still be fooled when you swan back from your hols with many many scenic shots to show them on your camera. It’s the English Riviera we mean of course, but with the mild climate and stretches of sandy beach around this part of the Devon coast, there’s a lot to be said for parking yourself here instead.
Paignton makes up the English Riviera along with Torquay and Brixham, and has had folk flocking to it for generations for its attractions and activities from the serene (poking for periwinkles on Preston Sands) to the hair-raising (taking a jetski around Elberry Cove). Base yourself in a Paignton holiday park for an English Riviera holiday with access to all Devon’s highlights including leisure parks, museums and more: filter your search on the left or check the ‘Local Attractions’ tab on each campsite or park listing for inspiration.
