  • Family-run park on a former stud farm and in a wildlife haven
  • Two and a half miles from the coast
  • Heated outdoor pool, bar, café, shop, takeaway and craft centre
Dithering re which setting you prefer for holiday accommodation – walks in the countryside versus hoofing it to the nearest beach? Try a countryside break by the sea at friendly and family-run Whitehill Country Park. On a former stud farm with converted stables and stone farm buildings, Whitehill is in a wildlife haven deep in the Devon countryside but only two and a half miles from the sands of the English Riviera: guaranteed, of course, to keep all sorts of neigh-sayers happy. Nature fans will champ at the bit to delve into the 40 acres of hill, woodland and countryside around the park, where 130 species of flora and ferns can be recorded neatly in nature-spotting notebooks and where local wildlife abounds: look out for badgers, kestrels, pheasants and buzzards among others. Meanwhile, beach buoys and girls will find the nearest sands only a couple of miles away: it’s but a short drive to the beaches of Paignton, Torquay and Brixham, and onto the 20 or so first-class beaches along this 22-mile stretch. On site there's a heated outdoor pool, plenty of play areas, walking trails, and nature all around; the park has won awards for its approach to wildlife management and conservation. Also around are letterboxing opps, a treasure trail to keep the little treasures occupied, and all the cons of a mod site such as a takeaway, café, shop and supping alfresco while watching the sun go down from the terrace at the Hayloft bar. Those who feel artistic can draw and paint in the indoor Shire Craft Centre; table tennis and a pool table are also on hand for indoor play.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Bathroom and facilities were very good, lots of toilets so never had to queue up

Disliked The ground was terrible, barely any grass, and because it rained the day after we tented up there, everything got muddy and nasty, not so good for kids as my boy wanted to play outside but would get really dirty because the ground wasn’t as grassy as advertised, there was more patches of grass I would say. Also when you are on the camp site don’t expect any wifi to reach ya. We were placed closest to the pool facilities but the wifi still didn’t reach us. When asked about it, was told it’s always weak on the campsite because the main connection is at the reception building and there are probably many people using it. The only time we had service or wifi is when we had walked all the way up by the reception. Which I felt wasn’t good enough because in the advertisement the wifi at the campsite is promised.
And I don’t know if its always like this but it felt like the wind is going to take our tent with us in it😅

Over all it was a beautiful site, but those little things just made our trip a little harder rather than peaceful

Electric grass pitch

Liked Outdoor and indoor pool were nice , staff were friendly, site itself was very nice

Disliked The shop didnt open early

I ordered a coffee at the cafe and ended up getting a refund yes there were people before me that had ordered food but while i was stood there waiting for just my coffee the employee behind the desk could have made it in between

So 1 of my pitches was not a full size pitch yet you charged me full price ?, and also we were asked to move our cars and wind breaker as it was obstructing the fire run but as we were walking round there were cars actually parked in that part of their pitches for all the 4 days we were there, thay didnt get asked to move them ?

Local attractions

The sights and activities around this part of Devon will suit all tastes: Dartmoor for active adventures, Totnes and Dartmouth for history and heritage – and the 22 miles of the English Rivieria for beaches, watersports, fishing and boat trips. The closest beach to Whitehill Country Park is Goodrington, a mile south of Paignton. After you’ve stretched out on the red sands, there are a few other options to check out: learn about the history of the English Riviera at the free Seashore Centre, pedal your way around the boating lake, or take the kids to the waterslides and pools of Splashdown at Quaywest. The English Riviera is of course also Agatha Christie territory – Greenway House was her holiday home (also where David Suchet as Poirot filmed his last scenes. Sniff.) If you can’t make it to the annual Agatha Christie festival (tsk), amble along the 10 landmarks of the Agatha Christie Mile in Torquay; eight of the sites have clues spelling out the name of a Christie character. Hint: it’s probably not ‘Miss Marple’.
