From the manager: Sorry about the shower, we were unaware it wasn't working correctly and it's now been looked at. Problem sorted so next time it'll all be okay.

Liked Widdicombe is a lovely site, friendly staff and very helpful as well.
The facilities are clean and well looked after. The road didn't bother us at all.

From the manager: Now you've experienced the park during low season we hope you'll return when all the facilities are up and running. Until you return again happy touring.
Nice peaceful site…

Liked Nice peaceful site
Disliked Would have preferred to be nearer the beach
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Whilst we are the closest touring park to Torquay we are on the boundary so it is still a couple of miles to the beautiful beaches. It is a shame if you thought we were nearer as this may have spoilt your stay.
Good clean site
Powered gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked The size of the pitches.
The receptionists, very helpful
The mini bus trips into Torquay and paignton
Variety of food trucks visiting the site
Disliked Gordon bar opened at 7.30pm not sure if this is because it’s out of season
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The bar opens at 7:30pm whether high or low season. We have found the majority of people do not come out earlier so have settled on a 7:30pm opening which we have found works well. We know there are sometimes a few that prefer early doors but it has never proved a viable option opening earlier for those rare occasions. It is of course great to know that overall you have enjoyed your stay and that you would be back.
Brilliant site, fantastic staff, excellent facilities

Liked Fantastic site with fabulous staff!
As a first time camper travelling on my own I was immediately put at ease on my arrival by the helpful and friendly receptionist. I had a lovely pitch from where I could enjoy the views of the surrounding countryside. The facilities on the site were excellent.
A great location with easy access to nearby Teignmouth and Brixham.
