7 Best Caravan Parks in Devon 2026

Devon’s caravan parks range from clifftop sites overlooking the Jurassic Coast to peaceful countryside retreats just minutes from the beach. Whether you’re towing your own caravan or hiring a static, finding the right park means balancing location, facilities, pitch quality, and what thousands of real guests actually say about the experience.

We ranked every major Devon caravan park that offers both static caravans for hire and touring pitches for tow caravans, then sorted them by guest review scores. These are the seven that came out on top.

How We Scored Each Park

This guide is based entirely on real guest reviews. We combined ratings from Google Reviews and TripAdvisor (the two largest independent review platforms) into a single weighted score for each park.

How the scoring works:
• We only included parks with at least 1,000 reviews in total (Google + TripAdvisor combined)
• Every park on this list offers both static caravans for hire and touring pitches for tow caravans
• Rather than a simple average, we weighted each platform proportionally — if a park has significantly more reviews on one platform, that score carries more weight in the final rating
• Parks are ranked from highest weighted rating to lowest
• Total review count is used as a tiebreaker

Cofton Holidays is publishing this article on our own blog, and yes, we’re on the list. We didn’t design the methodology to favour ourselves — we used the same simple formula (Google + TripAdvisor rating) across every caravan park in Devon that has over 1000 reviews, and made it fully verifiable. You can check every rating and review count yourself.

All review data was collected in May 2026.

What Guests Are Saying

Reviewers consistently praise Cofton for spotlessly clean grounds and luxurious accommodation, with locally sourced food and welcome hampers drawing particular mention. Families highlight the pools, kids’ entertainment, and range of activities as standout features, while dog owners appreciate the dedicated walking area and dog wash facilities.

This speaks to a level of consistency many other parks struggle to maintain.

Best For: Families and couples who want a full-resort experience, with the convenience of excellent pools, dining, and activities all within easy reach of lots of local attractions, on the South Devon coast.

2. Ladram Bay Holiday Park

Weighted Rating: 4.5/5 | Google: 4.6 (2,248 reviews) | TripAdvisor: 4.4 (2,272 reviews) | Total: 4,520 reviews

TripAdvisor Breakdown: Location: 4.7 | Rooms: 4.5 | Value: 4.3 | Cleanliness: 4.6 | Service: 4.5 | Sleep Quality: 4.2

Location: Ladram Road, Otterton, Budleigh Salterton EX9 7BX. Private beach on site (Jurassic Coast)

Caravan Facilities: Static caravans for hire | Touring pitches | Hardstanding available | Electric hook-up

Ladram Bay Holiday Park is the only park on this list with its own private beach access, and that single fact reshapes what a caravan holiday in Devon can feel like. Tucked into the Jurassic Coast between Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton, the park sits above a sheltered cove framed by red sandstone stacks that have become one of the most photographed stretches of the East Devon coastline. Touring pitches — both grass and hardstanding with electric hookup — are available with coastal views, and the wider accommodation range includes static caravans, lodges, and camping pitches, so the park caters to most setups.

Beyond the beach, Ladram Bay runs a solid spread of on-site facilities: an indoor heated pool, mini golf, a kids’ club with an indoor play area, a game room, and evening entertainment with a DJ. There is a restaurant, a rooftop bar, and a snack bar for meals, plus a convenience store, gift shop, and ATM. Dogs are welcome, and fishing is available on site. It is a park that clearly aims to keep families busy without forcing anyone off-site, though the nearby towns of Sidmouth (four miles) and Budleigh Salterton (three miles) are close enough for a change of scenery.

With a weighted rating of 4.50 out of 5 drawn from over 4,500 reviews across Google and TripAdvisor, Ladram Bay earns its place near the top of this list. Its TripAdvisor sub-ratings are consistently strong — Location scores 4.7, Cleanliness 4.6, and both Rooms and Service sit at 4.5 — reflecting a park that maintains high standards across the board rather than relying on one standout metric alone.

Key Facilities
• Private beach on the Jurassic Coast
• Indoor heated swimming pool
• Restaurant and rooftop bar with sea views
• Fishing
• Mini golf
• Kids club and evening entertainment with DJ
• Dog friendly across all accommodation
• Gift shop and convenience store

What Guests Are Saying

The private beach dominates guest feedback and is frequently described as the highlight of any stay, with visitors returning year after year specifically for the cove and its dramatic red sandstone scenery. Reviewers consistently praise the accommodations as spacious, clean, and comfortable, and staff are regularly noted for being friendly and attentive. The family-friendly atmosphere draws particular approval, with the entertainment programme and kids’ facilities keeping younger guests occupied.

On the other side, some guests feel that overall costs run high, pointing to extra charges for certain amenities as a source of frustration. A number of reviewers also mention occasional mobile signal and connectivity issues on site, which is worth noting if you rely on a stable connection.

Best For: Families and couples who want a lively, well-equipped holiday park with the bonus of a private beach on the South Devon Coast, and who are happy to pay a bit more for that coastal setting.

3. Beverley Holidays

Weighted Rating: 4.39/5 | Google: 4.5 (1,596 reviews) | TripAdvisor: 4.3 (2,106 reviews) | Total: 3,702 reviews

TripAdvisor breakdown: Location: 4.7 | Rooms: 4.3 | Value: 4.3 | Cleanliness: 4.4 | Service: 4.4 | Sleep Quality: 4.1

Location: Goodrington Rd, Paignton TQ4 7JE. Goodrington Sands (nearby)

Caravan facilities: Static caravans for hire | Touring pitches | Hardstanding available | Electric hook-up

Beverley Holidays occupies an enviable position on Goodrington Road in Paignton, where the touring pitches look out across Torbay and the English Riviera coastline. The park offers static caravans, lodges, and touring pitches on both grass and hardstanding with electric hookup, so it caters to a broad range of caravanning preferences. Goodrington Sands is close at hand, and the sea views from the touring area give the whole stay a distinctly coastal feel that sets it apart from more inland parks.

What really distinguishes Beverley Holidays is it’s coastal views and proximity to Goodring beach. But the park is also a well-equipped with everything you’d expect, including; sauna, steam room, and indoor and outdoor pools (including a dedicated kids’ pool) plus a gym, making it genuinely possible to fill a rainy Devon afternoon without leaving the site. Beyond the spa facilities, the park runs evening entertainment with a DJ, mini golf, an indoor play area, outdoor playground, game room, and a kids’ club, while day-to-day needs are covered by a convenience store, coffee shop, snack bar, restaurant, bar, gift shop, and an on-site ATM.

Cleanliness is a recurring theme in positive guest feedback and one of the reasons the park holds a weighted rating of 4.39 out of 5 across more than 3,700 Google and TripAdvisor reviews. The park also earns strong marks for its dog-friendly policy, which is notably welcoming rather than merely tolerant.

Key Facilities
• Indoor, outdoor, and kids’ swimming pools
• Sea views overlooking Torbay
• Restaurant, bar, and coffee shop
• Gym, sauna, steam room, and hot tub
• Mini golf
• Kids club and evening entertainment with DJ
• Very dog friendly
• Gift shop and convenience store

What Guests Are Saying

Reviewers regularly praise the cleanliness of both the static caravans and the shared facilities, calling them spotless and well maintained. Staff are frequently described as friendly and genuinely helpful, and the location near Devon’s beaches draws consistent appreciation, with TripAdvisor sub-ratings of 4.7 for location and 4.4 for both cleanliness and service.

Dog owners single out the park as particularly accommodating. On the less positive side, several guests note that children’s daytime activities come largely at extra cost, with only four free sessions per week lasting around 30 minutes each — a point worth weighing for families on a budget. The on-site restaurant also draws mixed feedback, with some reviewers finding prices on the high side and others mentioning occasionally slow service.

Best for: Couples and families who want a park that combines genuine sea views from the touring field with a proper spa and wellness setup, and who are happy to accept that some children’s activities carry an additional charge.

4. Whitehill Country Park

Weighted Rating: 4.35/5 | Google: 4.5 (840 reviews) | TripAdvisor: 4.2 (797 reviews) | Total: 1,637 reviews

TripAdvisor breakdown: Location: 4.5 | Rooms: 4.3 | Value: 4.3 | Cleanliness: 4.5 | Service: 4.3 | Sleep Quality: 4.1

Location: Stoke Rd, Paignton TQ4 7PF. Paignton beaches (5-minute drive)

Caravan Facilities: Static caravans for hire | Touring pitches | Hardstanding available | Electric hook-up

Whitehill Country Park occupies a peaceful stretch of South Devon countryside just outside Paignton, offering a noticeably different atmosphere to the busier holiday parks along the English Riviera. Static caravans, lodges, and sheltered touring pitches — both grass and hardstanding with electric hookup — are spread across a well-maintained site that feels removed from the typical holiday-camp bustle. Paignton’s beaches are only a five-minute drive away, and a bus stop right at the park entrance connects you to both Paignton and Torquay without needing the car at all.

The facilities strike a solid middle ground between relaxation and family entertainment. Indoor and outdoor heated pools are available on site, while an indoor play area, game room, billiards, and evening entertainment can keep children and adults occupied all day. A restaurant, bar, and convenience store round out the basics, and dogs are welcome. It is worth noting that the on-site dining and shop have drawn mixed feedback, so families who like to self-cater or eat out locally may prefer to use the local shops and restaurants versus those on site at the park.

Access deserves a brief mention: the approach road is narrow with blind corners, which can catch out drivers towing touring caravans for the first time. Some touring pitches also sit beneath power cables or close enough to the road to pick up traffic noise, so it is worth requesting a pitch away from these if that matters to you.

Key Facilities
• Indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools
• Hot tub
• Restaurant and bar
• Countryside setting near coast
• Sheltered touring pitches
• Evening entertainment
• Dog friendly
• Bus stop at entrance (Paignton and Torquay)

What Guests Are Saying

Across more than 1,600 reviews, Whitehill draws consistent praise for its cleanliness and the general upkeep of the grounds, with many guests describing the site as spotless and well looked after. The pool areas are a particular highlight, and staff are frequently singled out for being friendly and efficient at check-in. Location is another strong point — reviewers appreciate the easy five-minute drive to Paignton, the bus stop at the entrance, and scenic walks from the park itself. On the downside, the restaurant is a recurring sore spot, with guests reporting slow service and mediocre food that falls well short of expectations. The on-site shop also comes in for criticism for being poorly stocked at times, which can frustrate those planning to pick up essentials without leaving the park.

Best For: Families and couples with touring caravans or those booking static accommodation who want a quieter, countryside-set base within easy reach of the English Riviera’s beaches and attractions, and who prefer to head off-site for most of their meals.

5. Twitchen House Holiday Park

Weighted Rating: 4.19/5 | Google: 4.4 (1,682 reviews) | TripAdvisor: 4.1 (4,232 reviews) | Total: 5,914 reviews

TripAdvisor breakdown: Location: 4.5 | Rooms: 3.8 | Value: 3.9 | Cleanliness: 3.9 | Service: 3.9 | Sleep Quality: 3.6

Location: Mortehoe Station Rd, Woolacombe EX34 7ES. Woolacombe Beach (35+ minute walk over hilly terrain, or short drive)

Caravan Facilities: Static caravans for hire | Touring pitches | Hardstanding available | Electric hook-up | EV charging

Twitchen House Holiday Park sits in a woodland setting near Woolacombe on the North Devon coast, offering static caravans, lodges, and touring pitches with both grass and hardstanding options — all with electric hookup. Part of the Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks group (though a separate site from its sister park, Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park), Twitchen House holds an AA 5-Star Gold rating and has earned a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. The park also provides EV charging, which is a practical plus for touring families arriving by electric vehicle.

The standout draw here is the pool complex. Indoor and outdoor pools are joined by waterslides, flumes, and a dedicated kids’ pool — the kind of setup that can salvage a rainy Devon afternoon without complaint from younger travellers. Beyond the water, there is mini golf, an outdoor playground, an indoor play area, a game room with billiards and table tennis, and organised kids’ activities. Evenings bring live entertainment and a DJ in the bar, alongside a restaurant, snack bar, and convenience store on site.

One thing worth being upfront about: Woolacombe Beach — voted Britain’s best beach in 2023 — is nearby in name but not quite on the doorstep. The walk takes over 35 minutes along hilly, uneven terrain that is not suitable for pushchairs, so most families will want to drive. It is a short trip by car, but if you are picturing stepping straight off your pitch and onto the sand, this is not that park.

Key facilities
• Indoor and outdoor pools with waterslides and kids’ pool
• Restaurant, bar, and snack bar
• Mini golf, billiards, and table tennis
• Kids activities and evening entertainment with DJ
• EV charging
• Free high-speed WiFi
• Woodland setting
• Dog friendly

What Guests Are Saying

Reviewers across Google (4.4 from 1,682 reviews) and TripAdvisor (4.1 from 4,232 reviews) frequently praise the pools and waterslides as a highlight for children, with many families describing them as the main reason they return. Staff are regularly called out as friendly, polite, and genuinely helpful, and the park’s cleanliness — consistent with its AA 5-Star Gold rating — draws repeated compliments. The woodland setting is well liked, and guests enjoy being within reach of Woolacombe and the surrounding North Devon coastline.

On the negative side, several reviewers warn that the walk to Woolacombe Beach is longer and steeper than expected, taking well over half an hour on rough ground that is difficult with young children or buggies. The other recurring criticism concerns evening entertainment: multiple guests report that the music and DJ sets are incredibly loud and run late into the night, which can be a problem for anyone pitched nearby or travelling with small children who need early bedtimes.

Best For: Families with children who want on-site waterslides, pools, and plenty of rainy-day activities, and who are happy to drive rather than walk to the beach.

6. Lady’s Mile Holiday Park

Weighted Rating: 4.16/5 | Google: 4.3 (2,749 reviews) | TripAdvisor: 4.0 (2,307 reviews) | Total: 5,056 reviews

TripAdvisor breakdown: Location: 4.3 | Rooms: 4.1 | Value: 4.0 | Cleanliness: 4.1 | Service: 4.1 | Sleep Quality: 3.9

Location: Exeter Rd, Dawlish Warren, Dawlish EX7 0LX. Dawlish Warren beach (nearby)

Caravan Facilities: Static caravans for hire | Touring pitches | Hardstanding available | Electric hook-up

Lady’s Mile Holiday Park sits on Exeter Road just outside Dawlish Warren, putting guests within easy reach of the beach and the wider South Devon coast. It is a family-run, award-winning park that caters to a broad range of visitors — static caravans, lodges, glamping pods, and touring pitches are all on offer — but it is the touring provision that sets Lady’s Mile apart from every other park on this list. With more than 300 touring pitches spread across dedicated areas featuring both grass and hardstanding options with electric hookup, this is probably the largest touring facility in our round-up. If choice of pitch matters to you, this park stands out.

Beyond the pitches themselves, the park runs a full resort-style amenity set. An on-site water park with indoor and outdoor heated pools, the leisure offering is fantastic, while a gym, kids’ club, indoor play area, outdoor playground, and game room keep families occupied on days when the beach is not calling. There is a restaurant, bar, and evening entertainment programme, plus standard extras like a convenience store and ATM. Dogs are welcome, which is worth noting given Dawlish Warren’s dog-friendly stretches of sand.

At a weighted rating of 4.16 out of 5 across more than 5,000 reviews on Google and TripAdvisor combined, Lady’s Mile is a well-established park with a loyal following. It does not chase the premium end of the market. It competes on scale, location, and value, and for touring caravanners in particular it delivers plenty of options.

Key Facilities
• 300+ touring pitches — largest on this list
• Indoor and outdoor pools plus water park
• Hot tub
• Restaurant and bar
• Gym
• Kids club and evening entertainment
• Dog friendly
• Near Dawlish Warren beach

What Guests Are Saying

Reviewers consistently highlight the spacious touring pitches, clean facilities, and friendly, hardworking staff as standout qualities. The pools and evening entertainment receive regular praise, and the location near Dawlish Warren beach is seen as a genuine convenience rather than a marketing stretch. Lodges are described as spotless by those who opt for fixed accommodation. On the other side, some guests note that certain facilities feel dated — shower blocks in particular draw criticism for their age and inconsistent water pressure. The terrain can also be challenging for visitors with limited mobility or prams, and a few reviewers mention unexpected charges and unreliable WiFi as frustrations. Despite these gripes, a notable number of guests say they plan to return.

Best For: Touring caravanners and motorhomers who want the widest choice of pitches in Devon, combined with a full family amenity package and easy beach access, without paying top-tier prices.

7. Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park

Weighted Rating: 4.13/5 | Google: 4.4 (1,927 reviews) | TripAdvisor: 4.0 (3,811 reviews) | Total: 5,738 reviews

TripAdvisor breakdown: Location: 4.5 | Rooms: 3.8 | Value: 3.8 | Cleanliness: 3.9 | Service: 3.9 | Sleep Quality: 3.6

Location: Sandy Ln, Woolacombe EX34 7AH. Adjacent to Woolacombe Beach (consistently voted best beach in UK, 3 miles of golden sand)

Caravan Facilities: Static caravans for hire | Touring pitches | Hardstanding available | Electric hook-up | EV charging

Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park sits adjacent to what is consistently voted the best beach in the UK — three miles of golden sand that draws surfers, families, and coastal walkers year-round. The park offers static caravans, lodges, and touring pitches, with the touring options including both grass and hardstanding pitches that look out over Woolacombe itself. Full electric hookup and EV charging are available, and tourers get complete access to the park’s extensive facilities. It is part of the Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks group, though it operates as a separate site from the company’s other parks.

What sets Woolacombe Bay apart from every other entry on this list is the sheer breadth of its sports and leisure offering. No other park here can match the combination of a golf course, tennis courts, bowling, canoeing, water sport rentals, and surfing alongside indoor and outdoor swimming pools with waterslides, a plunge pool, and a dedicated kids’ pool. There is also a full spa with gym, sauna, and steam room — a huge array of facilities by any measure. Add in evening entertainment, an indoor play area, kids’ activity programmes, a restaurant, bar, and convenience store, and you have a park that could keep a family occupied for weeks without ever leaving the site.

So why does a park with this location and this range of facilities land at number seven? The answer lies in the guest feedback at scale. With 5,738 combined reviews across Google and TripAdvisor, the data is robust, and the TripAdvisor sub-ratings tell a nuanced story: location scores a strong 4.5, but rooms come in at 3.8, sleep quality at 3.6, and value at 3.8. These are the trade-offs that come with a large, activity-driven holiday park — the quality is in the breadth of park amenities rather than the quality of the accommodation itself. The park earned TripAdvisor’s Traveller’s Choice award in 2025, placing it in the top 10% of properties worldwide, which confirms it delivers a strong overall package.

So for anyone arriving in a campervan or with caravan in tow, this park would be perfect because you have your own bed, and you can benefit from the park’s huge spectrum of amenities. But for everyone else, especially those that have high expectations for on-site accommodation, other parks on this list will score higher in that regard.

Key facilities
• Adjacent to Woolacombe Beach (voted UK’s best beach)
• Indoor and outdoor pools with waterslides
• Golf course, tennis, bowling, and mini golf
• Spa with sauna and steam room
• Gym
• Surfing and canoeing
• Evening entertainment with DJ
• EV charging and free high-speed WiFi

What Guests Are Saying

Reviewers consistently praise the friendly staff and the high standard of service, noting that the site remains clean and well-managed even at peak capacity. The huge range of bookable activities earns particular enthusiasm from families, with guests describing something for every age group from toddlers to grandparents. Accommodations are frequently called immaculate, and the family-friendly atmosphere is a recurring theme across thousands of reviews. On the other hand, a notable portion of guests feel the park is overpriced for what you get, and some report that rooms feel cramped or dated. Several reviewers also mention that the walk to the beach is longer than they had anticipated, which is worth factoring in if beach access is your primary motivation.

Best For: Active families who want the widest possible range of sports, pools, and organised activities alongside relatively easy access to one of the UK’s finest beaches, and who are happy to accept less luxurious onsite accommodation, relative to some other parks in this list, in exchange.

Finding The Right Caravan Park For You

The gap between first and seventh on this list is just 0.42 points — all seven parks are well-reviewed, and verifiably amazing caravan parks.
