About the site
Tucked away within the unspoilt landscape of the Rame Peninsula, this historic touring site was once part of the area's coastal defences. Today, you'll find historic cannons overlooking cliffs, along with fascinating architecture. Spend days splashing in the heated indoor swimming pool, let little ones play in the children's pool, or keep active in the gym. When it's time for the coast, the sandy beach is ten minutes away via steps. You can even book a lesson at Adventure Bay Surf School for surfing or paddleboarding before heading back for a meal at the onsite Fort Inn. Tourers can choose from 16 fully serviced gravel pitches (6m x 5m), each with a 16 amp hook up, water supply and an adjacent parking space. A separate Elsan disposal point and shower and toilet facilities are located nearby. There are also smaller, non electric hiker pitches for two-man tents for those travelling on foot and two fully serviced grass pitches. A regular bus service stops outside the site, with routes to Torpoint and Plymouth. Please note that the site's facilities are located in the Meadows area and may be a short walk from some pitches. You're welcome to bring up to two dogs along for the adventure, too. BBQs must be raised off the ground. Open fires and fire pits are not permitted. Sea views can be enjoyed from designated lookout points around the park rather than from the touring pitches themselves.
Whitsand Bay Fort Holiday Village is open from 01/01 to 25/12. Pitches from £28/night for 2 people.
