Whitsand Bay Fort Holiday Village Reviews

An interesting site with great amenities

I would definitely recommend this site, it has well maintained campervan and caravan plots that are very big to allow for your vehicle and awnings etc. The shower and toilet blocks were clean and had good water pressure, great for a nice hot shower. We didn't get to try the Sunday lunch but if it's as good as the breakfast, I'm sure it will be amazing! We had a vegetarian and a traditional Cornish breakfast and they were great value for money and very tasty. The restaurant has real character having been built into the interesting landscape. The whole area has a lot of military history.

Interesting and scenic place to stay

Very quiet when I stayed in January but the indoor pool and café/bar were still open. It's best to book a time for the pool in advance as they keep numbers down, which prevents it getting too crowded. The pool is lovely, quite big, and was warm and spotlessly clean. There are amazing views out to sea and a little path down to the beach from just across the road. You can also see inland towards Plymouth and Dartmoor beyond that. I had a fully serviced pitch with drinking water, grey water disposal, hook up and Elsan disposal, all on the very spacious level pitch.

Great site

Nice site and location. Pub and restaurant on site and a swimming pool.

Very accommodating site

We only stayed one night and were very impressed with the cleanliness and availability of facilities. The staff at reception were extremely accommodating with our requests.

Beautiful spot, but missing some key features

It can't be denied that the views from this campsite (the banks, not the majority of pitches) are fantastic. The sea and great beaches are directly below. It's a very steep 10 minute walk down to the beach. The pitches are large and water, waste and electricity are all very close to each pitch. The pool is a great bonus- hourly slots are bookable at reception. The changing rooms are fairly new and kept clean. There are inflatables on weekends.The toilet and shower facilities are less clean with the floors looking like they need a good mop throughout our stay. There's a wetsuit washing area, washing up and laundry rooms- all quite high spec .This campsite has a lovely, well appointed restaurant and adjoining vaulted ceilinged bar, which serves good food and has a lovely atmosphere. The campsite is missing 2 things - a shop and a play area. The campsite is a fair drive away from any villages and amenities (down very narrow lanes!) so a small shop selling bread, bacon, beach toys etc, would be really useful. A play area is really useful for children to make friends, (a vital element of our children's holiday!) so they're not just hanging around the tent or caravan when home. The beach is the huge draw for this area and, for that, this area is worth visiting.

Motorhome mini break

Quiet cliff top location. Outstanding view out to sea from cliffs. Site built on an old fort with some fortifications still in place. Bus stop opposite entrance with regular routes to Plymouth, ferry and surrounding area. Good, clean facilities and excellent bar serving great value food. Staff were friendly and helpful. Access to beach is down a steep cliff path opposite park.

Happy caravanner

Loved the site but think it could do with on site shop. Then would be brilliant.

Good break away

Was a good break away but I wouldn't recommend going with children as there's not a lot to do with them! But other than that, it was a good break away.

1 night stay

This place is awesome- right on a cliff edge in the middle of nowhere but staff were so friendly and the barn restaurant had such a lovely atmosphere and great service - we were seen to as soon as we arrived at the campsite and the grounds are beautiful- toilets and showers were clean. I would go back anytime, thanks.

Amazing camping on a beautiful beach!

Nice pitches with a great view and the beach is absolutely worth a walk! We loved it!

Great place with very friendly staff

Whitsand Bay Fort is a peaceful campsite located on the beautiful coast near Plymouth. It is perfect for families with dogs - all of the staff are very dog-friendly there. There is a pub right on the site, which serves a very good English breakfast with vegetarian and vegan options.

Outstanding view and very modern

Whitsand campsite was so beautiful, that we stayed longer than planned. Everything is very modern. The restaurant is dog friendly and the food is very good.

Whitsand

There were some difficulties regarding the location of the site. These are both from the point of view of the roads leading to and from the site, as these are extremely narrow and challenging, as well as access to the beach and/or other facilities.

Fab site

Lovely site, with friendly staff. Shame there wasn't a little shop on site, but I'll remember that on my next visit.

Thank you for your review! See you next time!

Lovely, friendly atmosphere

Had a lovely stay over the Easter weekend. I met some really friendly staff that were always happy to help. Very relaxed atmosphere around the whole park.

Thank you for the lovely review, Duane. Great to meet you all, and the dogs too. Hope you visit again soon. Kirsty

Good campsite in a great location

My partner, myself and our spaniel recently stayed here for one night. The site has clearly had a lot of investment made, and is an absolutely charming place to stay. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the facilities were spotless. There were good quality showers and a decent pool. The underground bunkers and tunnels are a great feature for those interested in history. The bar/restaurant was very nice. Although we did not eat there we went for drinks. One disappointment was that hot drinks were not served in the bar, which is a little unusual. The location was perfect. Although be warned, the walk down to Whitsand Bay beach was very steep, and the climb back up is a challenge. Will definitely be back for another visit.

Thank you for your review Hazel, we all agree that the walk down (or rather up!) from the beach is a good workout, but well worth it. Thank you for your feedback re hot drinks, this is something we will take into consideration.
