What customers say
Golden Sands Holiday Park gets a bit of a mixed bag. Pods, pool, and location near Dawlish Warren are popular, but toilet/shower block cleanliness and maintenance is a common complaint. Wi-Fi's pricey and dodgy for some. Staff and entertainment are usually good, though clubhouse food and drinks could be cheaper.

Ok stay but wouldnt stay again due to the showers
Camping pod
Liked The camping pods was lovely. Nice area and right by the park.
Disliked Shower/toilets were awful. They look like they haven't had a proper clean in years. I spoke to someone and they said they were cleaned 4 times a day... I saw no evidence of it. I had to wear my flip flops while showering as there was no way I was being barefoot in there.
Also only 5 showers, 1 didnt work and one doesn't have a door.

Nice but could be better.
Camping pod
Liked The pod was comfortable and the Dawlish area was very nice.
Disliked An outside tap is needed to fill the water containers of the furthest away pods on the hill.
The pod cleaning needs to be improved. Including outside.
A tarmac access road would keep the dust levels down from passing vehicles.
