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.

Liked Very happy with site staff very helpful just one criticism reception don’t seem to pick the phone up when you have a query as we did have to change our pictures. We couldn’t get the motorhome straight but the young man that was looking after the touring pitches was very helpful indeed, he got us changed to a pitch opposite so that we could level off nicely!?

Disliked Did have semi-skimmed milk only full cream.
Phone not being answered in reception.

Liked Clean and well-run site with lovely staff and great amenities. It's set up for families with children under 12, with softplay, a play barn, outside swimming pool, games room and live music. You are not far from Paignton, Torquay or Dart Country Park. Would happily come back again.

Disliked No phone reception (pylons) and wifi is confined to the bar. We were lucky enough to get a flat pitch, but if you bring a caravan or campervan, you will need chocks.

Liked Everything. From the moment we got there the reception staff were so friendly. The site is stunning and so well maintained. We asked walking directions from Conner who was so kind and gave the best advice.
Facilities are perfect. The shop is so well stocked. The bar and restaurant isn’t over priced for a holiday park.
We used the outside pool and honestly felt like we were abroad.
We are booking again next year and brining family with us.

Liked We couldn’t believe how amazing this site was, staff extremely helpful, pitches very spacious, plenty toilets, showers always in immaculate condition.

You are provided with lots of onsite entertainment for both adults and children.

With an onsite cafe/shop/pub outdoor swimming pool (heated) and indoor swimming pool. Location is in a beautiful part of Devon and so close to Paignton, Torquay and Teignmouth. There is also a bus service from the campsite to Paignton.

Their website provides so much information, allowing you to book for any activity.

We will definitely be returning to the fabulous White Hill Country Park

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’.
