Scenic countryside setting

  • 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.

What customers say

Sparkling site, heaps of space & top-notch facilities (pools, showers). Staff super friendly & helpful. Loads for kids, great base for exploring. Some found pitches a bit sloped, roads tight, and Wi-Fi patchy.

Liked Lovely site, spacious pitches, clean and well appointed facilities, outdoor pool and fun pools great for all.
Evening entertainment in the Hayloft music and antmosfear was perfect.

Disliked Rubbish dropped by some guests and bags left outside tents for seagull to attack. Not the sites fault just some.... non respecting guests.

Liked The campsite had lots going on especially for those with children!
The little soft play area was a hit with my 3 yr old.
Toilets and shower blocks were clean and nice to use.
Showers ran consistently hot and it was lovely!!
Not far from Paignton sea front and easy enough to get to Dartmouth and Totnes from the site.

Powered grass site

Liked very clean and well cared for.

indoor pool is very clean and modern and is at a nice temp.

outdoor pool has a roper holiday feel to it.

The soft play, craft and games room are a nice touch

The shop is well stocked

Disliked sending families with small children to the furthest away part of the campsite.

Not getting a grip of the Pikeys who were holidaying/living there or preventing them from neglecting their dog

the entrance barrier does not allow you entrance, it is not observed by camera and staff are not proactive in resolving it, means abandoning the car and walking 1.5km to our pitch with a 2 year old.

the pitches are all sloping meaning you can expect to be uncomfortable in a caravan and unbearable in a tent.

The internet is so bad it may as well be cancelled.

Liked We like the reception staff for accommodating our change of plan from a grass tent pitch to a pod due to unreliable weather. Very helpful and friendly.
A very nice site with families enjoying it with out making to much impact on the peace and quite.
As our first time we were not aware of all the facilities and entertainment put on.
We enjoyed having a breakfast and a bar meal in the evening. Indoor pool as well during a child free session.
Great location with access to the coast of Devon

Liked The maintenance of the site, the facilities, the friendliness of the staff from arrival through to departure. An amazing Dog paddock which surpassed anything we have encountered in our travels both home and abroad.

Disliked nothing

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’.
