Fantastic site in a great location. Facilities at the site were spotless, very impressed! Look forward to returning in the summer to try out the outdoor pool.

We enjoyed our weekend stay here at Whitehill, although the weather was a bit wet, so a hardstanding pitch would've been better on this occasion but that wasn't anything to do with the site. The swimming pool was very nice and clean so didn't mind paying extra for this. The bar arcade and all other areas were clean and not the biggest, but big enough for us. All staff were friendly and there were indoor and outdoor activities if you wished to do. Overall, a nice friendly clean site for a short break.
Fantastic weekend and fantastic park

We had a fantastic weekend away in our new motorhome. Only the second outing and couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The facilities were great the staff friendly and helpful - the pool was amazing and the singer on Friday night was great, we had a lovely evening.

Toilets and showers were a perfect mix of the usual, plus disabled and family rooms, nice to have dog shower! Indoor pool was lovely, all other facilities closed until Easter or May. The outdoor jacuzzi looked lovely but was not open and the shop was open on request. Take away was shut but the bar was open in the evenings with entertainment and restaurant. The pitches felt too close together for us, see pics. All motorhome service points available. Dogs had to stay on lead, there were many rabbits! We found the dog field too far up a hill. We had to leave early because there was no safe fenced off area for dogs to run free that didn't involve an uphill walk, one of our dogs didn't 'go' for 2 days. I think the café and bakery could be open all year round, they advertised croissants to order online and collect but they were not available till Easter. Overall, lovely birdsong and rabbits to watch and woodland area looked lovely. We were too far from the main facilities and had to drive there as quite a long walk and we all have walking difficulties. Heaven for children in the summer, they have another field being developed into pitches. I can imagine the pool will be busy at peak times or there may be hourly slots. I would recommend for fit, young families!

The site in general very nice and clean. Only thing that I wasn't a fan of was the food. I think they need to employ a proper cook, who will cook proper food from raw ingredients. Pizza frozen from market and burgers, well only the bun and burger, no tomato, onion etc. They could add £1 to the price and add these ingredients which would be simple.
Very picturesque but some shortcomings that if addressed, would make it a 5* site

The positives. Very good value for money. Reception team and site maintenance are a very friendly bunch. Great facilities for families with children offering well maintained park play equipment, 2 swimming pools and a games room with a pool table. Entertainment most evenings even in low season. The toilet and shower block was spotlessly clean and the access for disabled guests is great. Some nice touches like hands free on/off for the sink taps. Negatives were that some areas of the site are immediately beneath overhead power cables and close proximity to towers. The shop was poorly stocked at times. It's a shame that local produce such as sausages, bacon, cheese etc isn't stocked. It doesn't help that the closest food shop is a few miles away, so more reason to cater for guests. On the first day, there were no vegetables, fruit, bread or milk. The following day there was bread and a few more frozen items but inadequate if you were relying on the shop to provide healthy meals for the week. If you wanted stuffed crust pepperoni pizza every night, you're in luck. The restaurant was a major disappointment. The food was slow to arrive and the quality of the items was mediocre. When you spend £14.99 for the Whitehill Burger, you expect it's going to be premium. No such luck as it was two patties with onion and other ingredients. The lettuce was limp and the relish sparse. The fries were ok but the onion rings were overcooked and almost inedible. The burger meal was supposed to come with coleslaw but that was missing and no mention was made. My wife chose the Chicken Korma and she said it wasn't like any Korma she's had before, with a very sweet taste and not very pleasant. The rice was more of a congealed lump as if it had been kept under a heat source, giving it a hard crust on top. Two meals with a drink came to £38. The next evening, having had a poor experience at the restaurant, we thought we would try the takeaway. My wife ordered and paid for a £11.99 ham and mushroom pizza. After 5 minutes, someone from the kitchen came out to say there were no mushrooms. Not offering any alternative or a discount for not having all the ingredients my wife asked for a refund. After the missing coleslaw and overcooked food the evening before, you don't get a great vibe. It was a major disappointment that we couldn't rely on any of the sites food outlets for a complete meal. The approach to the site isn't great as Stoke Road is very narrow on many places with blind corners. It's also extremely busy at most times, not just rush hour or school runs. The road noise near the fully serviced pitches was disturbing. In summary then, it could be a great place to stay if you can avoid a pitch under the high voltage cables and away from the busy Stoke Road. More importantly, I think that the site owners would have more happy guests if the shop was better stocked with fresh and frozen food for "All paying guests" not just crisps, sweets and alcohol. Our experience of the restaurant and takeaway were disappointing to say the least. It could be a goldmine if the food lived up to the premium price charged.

This is a excellent site for walking your dog, both on site and off. The dog shower is a nice touch. The bar staff made us feel very welcome and the food was excellent. The facilities were good but the light timer in the gents' was a bit short. The only downside was that a grass pitch this time of year gets muddy, but then we had a lot of rain. Maybe a few more hard standing pitches would help. All in all, a very good site and we would recommend it.

Stayed here in a campervan with a friend. Great campsite, very friendly and would look to bring the family. Walked into Paignton, which was a bit of a trek on foot, but there is a bus service I believe.

Great stay at this lovely site. Our 2 year old loved playing in the outdoor pool, which was surprisingly warm for the UK! Plenty of space, nice clean facilities and the bar/restaurant served good beer and food! Short drive to lots of beaches too!

Our first visit to Devon in 30 years. Handy bus stop near the campsite. Was good that site has food and a pub, because it's a bit remote. Ladies toilets are excellent, but showers need refurbishing.

Lovely site. You have to pay to use indoor pool but outside pool and bubble pool are free, albeit a little cold for being heated, but nice once in. Pool needs cleaning out regularly throughout the day. Shower block needs a bit of modernization as you have to hold shower button in to get water. The toilet and sink facilities are more modern. Very clean tidy toilet showers and site. Good washing up area. Dining experience was lovely.
Booked a second holiday whilst we were there

A pleasant site but lacking in character. Facilities excellent. Very clean all the time. Hot water in the showers 5*, roomy cubicles & powerful jets with long running times. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would've liked to use the outdoor pool. It was closed but looked very tempting. Enjoyable walk from the back of the site into Stoke Gabriel and back.
Nice quiet campsite

Arrived at 5.20 pm - rang ahead to say we would be later than 5 and was informed to head to the swimming pool. We were given our pitch number, we then spent nearly an hour looking for our pitch. The lighting was not very good, and it wasn't clear or easy to find the numbering. Fortunately, another camper helped us find our pitch. Maybe in daylight we may have been able to get our bearings better. The views are stunning, and location is very convenient. Great indoor swimming pool, although we had to pay extra to use it when we have already paid to stay. We felt it should have been included like other campsites we have stayed at, which have been many. Clean toilets and showers. Would recommend to lots of other campers and families and would like to stay again.
