Pitch overlooking the devon countryside

  • Award-winning 80-acre site two miles from the beach
  • Pools, pub, fish and chip shop, sauna, steam room and gym
  • Five private fishing lakes, woodland adventure zone and nature trails
Anyone who relishes a bit of variety on their holidays should give this award-winning site serious consideration: there are buckets and spades of activities for all ages, both on site and in the immediate vicinity. Tucked into a valley, only a mile away from swathes of Blue Flag beaches, and a 10-minute drive from Dawlish Warren, Cofton Holidays has 80 acres of meadows, orchards and woodland laced with nature trails for visitors to explore. The facilities here will keep the whole family happily entertained for weeks: Cofton's indoor pool has massage jets and hydrotherapy bubble loungers, as well as a sauna, steam room and gym (a small additional charge applies), and there's a splash area with water jets to entertain the kids. Or set off angling instead at one of the five private fishing lakes, to bag a monster carp (24-pounders aren't unknown here). More? Kids can bounce around in the three dedicated play areas or explore the adventure zone in the woods, with activities such as pond dipping and bug hunting laid on in season; if it’s raining, there’s also a games room with amusements and a pool table. After these exertions, retire to the poolside patio of the Swan Inn for a refresher and a snack: the pub opens every night and serves up a good range of grub (breakfast and lunch are also available at weekends), plus regular entertainment including live bands, discos and karaoke in high season. Cofton also has its own fish and chip joint, as well as a shop for any vittles you might need. Wifi across the whole site (charges apply) means staying connected is simple, and it’s also worth mentioning that Cofton has excellent facilities for disabled visitors.

What customers say

A top-rated park with clean facilities & spacious sites. Guests loved the pools, entertainment, and helpful staff. Minor gripes included occasional Wi-Fi issues, pricey extras, and guest noise. A great holiday spot.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Access to the main area from the campsite grounds, showers and toilets facilities really clean. Areas to pitch the tent are spacious too. We paid for WiFi access whilst staying in the orchard field and signal strength was really strong.

Food from the onsite chippy was amazing! Good portion sizes too.

Didn't fish the lakes as opted for sea fishing but took a walk around. All really accessible for any angler of any level, pegs well maintained and loads to choose from.

Disliked Shower water temp was pretty hot! Couldn't stand under it for too long, although I do prefer cooler showers.

Liked Rain or shine, Cofton delivers!
We absolutely loved our stay at Cofton Holidays. Despite it raining every single day, the atmosphere and amenities more than made up for the weather. The site is beautifully maintained and packed with things to do—whether you’re up for swimming, relaxing at the pub, or exploring the play areas and games room.
Its location is ideal—just a short hop to the beach, yet so well-equipped that you don’t even need to leave the campsite to have a great time. The indoor facilities kept us entertained and cozy throughout, and the friendly vibe made it feel like a proper getaway.

Highly recommend Cofton for families, couples, or anyone looking for a fun and relaxing break, no matter the forecast!

8 meter FHU gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (super)

Liked Organised, clean, good food and plenty to do.

Disliked WiFi so poor unable to use. Wasted £12 trying. I personally would stop advertising you have WiFi pitchside. Doubt I’ll return due to this. WiFi in leisure areas is ok.

Local attractions

Wandering just outside the site, the nearby clifftops have pretty walks; there are gentle bike rides around and about; plus beaches and waterways offering more sail-, paddle- and wave-powered action than you can shake a stick at. Take a bus (the stop’s only 100 metres away) to explore a bit further afield: this corner of Devon's jampacked with things to see and do, including castles, botanic gardens, zoos, aquariums, animal farms, model villages and adventure parks. It's a 10-minute drive from the site to spectacular Dawlish Warren, home to a sandy beach and a tiptop nature reserve.
