  • Family-run holiday park with stunning views over Woolacombe beach
  • Three-mile sandy beach 15 minutes' walk away along a footpath
  • Indoor and outdoor pools, restaurant and kids' activities on site
Sandy beach on your holiday wishlist? You got it. As the name suggests, Woolacombe Sands Holiday Park is in an excellent location for days on the sands of Woolacombe, on the north Devon coast. A path runs from the site to the beach, taking you down there in about 15-20 minutes without the need to get on the road. And what a beach this is, with three miles of gorgeous golden sand, rockpools to poke about in, and gentle waves for swimming and bodyboarding. Add in summer lifeguards to keep everyone safe and a regular beach cleaning routine and it’s easy to see why this has previously been voted Britain’s best beach. Being so close by, you’ll be able to wander down whenever you like – and you’ll still be able to look at it while you’re on site too, as the pitches are in an elevated position overlooking the sea. And what might you get up to while not at the beach? Well, this family-run park has been in operation for more than 30 years now, and over that time it’s developed a great list of ways to keep everyone happy while on site. The long list of leisure facilities includes indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an amusement arcade, UV bowling, crazy golf, a play park and a kids’ club with all sorts of fun activities (circus skills, painting and bug hunts among them). Keeping everyone fed is easy too – barbecues are allowed, and there’s a well-stocked shop on site, or you can grab a table at the Clubhouse for meals and drinks along with evening entertainment. Dogs are welcome at this park, with a pet wash area provided; human facilities are just as good, with five bathroom blocks and a launderette.

What customers say

Spectacular views and a great spot near Woolacombe Beach. Guests loved the super clean facilities, helpful staff, and awesome amenities like pools and entertainment. Watch for steep grounds and some noise; pitch size and Wi-Fi might be a bit of a letdown.

Liked What a lovely site. Spacious pitches with a great view of the sea. Moved to a slightly flatter pitch after first night with a wonderful sea view. The site was beautifully maintained and everyone very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!!!

Disliked Couldn’t get the park WiFi to work but that really didn’t matter at all. My mobile data saw us thru with good reception.

Primitive grass tent campsite (four person)

Liked Shower block
The staff were friendly and my dislikes do not reflect on them just the company

Disliked Very bad pitch had to pay extra to get a better one
The size of the pitch given was small despite paying for a large one

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your positive comments regarding our staff. We are sorry to hear that your pre-booked basic 4 man tent pitch of 8m x 5m was not adequate for your requirements and hope that the larger super pitch offering 10m x 10m space you opted for was more suitable. We hope to welcome you again.

Lovely place to stay we had a campervan and will go again

Powered grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked We enjoyed our stay very clean and friendly place to stay and easy access to beach via footpath. Would recommend and will stay again.

Disliked The Pitch up site stated awnings and Pup tents not allowed so we did not take ours. This information was incorrect and we were not happy as due to rain we could have done with our awning. The reception staff told us they have asked Pitch up to change this previously.

Powered grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked Great location. Close to the woolacombe and the beach. Very well kept. Plenty to do on site. Club house very good with nice food and evening entertainment. Definitely come back.

Disliked Nothing really. It is very hilly so may not be for everyone. WiFi though free was patchy whilst on the pitch. Solution go to the club house and have something to eat and drink.

Local attractions

The attractions of Woolacombe beach are likely to fill much of your time – but Devon’s not short of excellent beaches, so if you fancy a change of seaside scenery you might like to hit the surf at Croyde (15 minutes’ drive) or Saunton Sands (20 minutes), or head to Ilfracombe (10 minutes) for the Tunnels beaches – it’s also the port for trips to wildlife-packed Lundy Island. Elsewhere along the coast, you might like to spend the day at Watermouth Castle (20 minutes) and its attached theme park, take a walk around the National Trust’s Baggy Point (25 minutes) or step back in time at the traditional fishing village of Clovelly (50 minutes). Keeping kids amused should be simple around here, with the likes of Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park (20 minutes), Exmoor Zoo (25 minutes), Lynton & Barnstaple Railway (25 minutes) and The BIG Sheep amusement park (35 minutes) to choose from.
