Whitehill Country Park

Perfect

Had a really lovely long weekend camping with my son, despite the weather. Perfect family campsite, friendly staff, and all facilities you could need! Hope to be back again, thank you 😇

Great place to stay

The park is conveniently located within easy driving of all major parts of Torbay. The road leading to the campsite is quite narrow but there are plenty of pull over sections for passing vehicles and this part of our journey was only about a quarter of a mile. Once at the park we were escorted to our pitch. The reception staff were warm and inviting, smiling and enthusiastic. our pitch was slightly smaller than I had anticipated but we eventually managed to get our caravan positioned properly, this was partly due to my inexperience as it was only my second time towing a caravan! I would pay extra next time for a large pitch as only had room a for awning and caravan, no seating space. Our car had to be parked in front of caravan. The facilities on the site were very good. it's a beautiful campsite with plenty to keep the kids entertained. Toilets showers etc were very well maintained and the food at the club house was fabulous we will certainly be back but to a bigger pitch.

Be careful of single track road taking you there

A great place to stay but I have a major problem with the directions getting there. The road the sat nav took us via exits at the entrance to the park but it is not suitable for motorhomes and we scratched the hell out of ours in doing so. It's bordering on negligent that a campsite that caters for motorhomes failed to warn customers of this and made no attempt to warn road users at the entrance of the single track road, that it's not suitable for many campsite users.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your sat nav directed you down an unsuitable route to get to us. The directions on our website and arrival information provide details of the most suitable approach to our location for all vehicles, including motorhomes and touring caravans. This is via the main road into Stoke Gabriel, following Stoke Road from the Parkers Arms. While we strive to provide clear guidance, unfortunately Devon does has a high number of narrow lanes and it is not practical to list every potentially unsuitable route to the park, as this could lead to further confusion. Sat navs can occasionally be inaccurate and we cannot be responsible for routes selected by these. If you're travelling in a larger vehicle, it is recommended that you use the HGV or large vehicle setting to help avoid inappropriate routes. Long Road is signposted as unsuitable for HGVs, so if you are using an alternative route, we would also advise keeping an eye out for local road signage before proceeding, as this provides important information on access restrictions and road suitability. Whilst we hope you enjoyed your stay once you arrived, we're truly sorry that the error with your Sat Nav led you down an unsuitable route which affected your overall experience with us.
