A bird's eye view of the leisure park, overlooking Woolacombe Sands

Family-friendly north Devon holiday park with lots of activities
Under two miles from Woolacombe; Combe Martin 15 minutes
Surf machines, bungee trampoline, climbing wall, bowling and sauna

Join the thousands of sheep that flock to Woolacombe for the annual ovine hairdressing championships, with a trip to the green and pleasant gardens of the Golden Coast Holiday Village. Visitors have access to masses of activities on site, from the pumped up (cycling, tennis, water flumes, four indoor and outdoor swimming pools), to the more leisurely (bowling, fishing, pitch and putt, sauna and solarium). Although there’s no shortage of mod cons, the site retains an old-school charm, not least thanks to its Old Mill Inn, which has been keeping people fed and watered since the seventeenth century. In the evenings, guests can chill out and enjoy the valley views, grab a pint in the sports bar, or enjoy entertainment including game shows, family discos, tribute bands, comedians and illusionists. 'Messy mayhem' is promised at the various kids’ clubs for all age groups, and the little sprouts should have a fine time on the bungee trampoline and climbing wall; parents can confirm that their offspring actually do walk on water as they take to the inflatable human hamster balls in the pool, or show off their board skills on the Wavesurfer artificial surf machine. For a pit stop, try creating a family heirloom over a cuppa at the ceramic-painting café.

Anthea B. May 2025

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Super clean and tidy site with very friendly staff. The showers were lovely and added bonus of a heated towel rail!! Lovely little walk for our 3 dogs right on the campsite so could stretch their legs first thing before heading out for the day. Would highly recommend this campsite.

Disliked: Ground on gravel was very hard so had to move in order to put our awning up.

From the manager: Thank you for your wonderful review Anthea! We're so pleased you enjoyed our clean and tidy site, friendly staff, and the added comfort of the heated towel rail. It's great to hear your dogs had a lovely walk right on the campsite, too! We appreciate your feedback about the gravel and will keep it in mind as we look for ways to improve. We hope to welcome you and your furry friends back again soon!

David C. Apr 2025

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: Stayed on a touring pitch at Golden Coast Leisure Park — really impressed. Facilities were clean and well looked after, pitch has its own water supply and hard standing which we find a lot cleaner than grass...

Loads to do on site even on rainy days, entertainment great for little ones.

Location’s spot on for getting around. Loved having a selection of places to eat and drink on site....

Disliked: It was noisy a couple of nights until about midnight, and as a few others have said, the touring pitches felt more like a car park - could do with some more privacy & love but overal we had a great stay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us David. We really appreciate you sharing both the positive and negative aspects of your stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Local attractions

Venture out and you’ll find loads to see and do in this part of North Devon. Clamber down the steep cobbledy streets to the fishing boats at the fourteenth-century quay in Clovelly (50 minutes' drive), or pay a visit to Barnstaple Pannier Market (25 minutes) to browse the local foodstuffs, arts and crafts, and antiques. Watermouth Castle (15 minutes) has dungeon labyrinths and a gnome land (anyone who thinks this sounds like the stuff of nightmares will be pacified by the dreamy views…). Nature lovers might enjoy an outing to the wilderness of Exmoor National Park to spot wild deer and ponies, choosing spots like the ruggedly gorgeous Valley of the Rocks (35 minutes) for wild goats and fossil hunting. For other days out, the kids can come face-to-leg with scarily lifelike dinosaurs and go swimming with sea lions at Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (15 minutes), or just get spaced out by the rides at The Milky Way Adventure Park (45 minutes).
