Wheeldon Off-Road Centre

Wheeldon Off-Road Centre is a holiday park in south Devon geared towards families looking for motorhome or campervan breaks. Active holidays are easy to come by here: you're roughly equidistant between Dartmoor National Park and the splendid south Devon coast, plus there's a BMX-style pump track on site where biking pros and those new to the sport can try out a few tricks. Electric bikes can also be hired for training sessions.

Modern toilets and showers are available for all guests, and there's also a lounge area with an outside terrace where you can sit back, relax and take advantage of the far-reaching views over the local countryside. Other features include a coffee machine, a vending machine where you can pick up essentials like bread, eggs and milk and a coin-operated laundry room. Each pitch also has access to a small freezer compartment. Need to stock up? Totnes (15 minutes' drive) is on hand to cover all your food-related bases.

Well-behaved pets can expect a warm welcome here, with daily walks (or swims) provided by the nearby river Avon. This peaceful spot is just at the end of the green lane that crosses the site, while further afield in the South Hams there's a range of dog-friendly beaches and trails to explore.
