My niece and her family stayed there a few years ago. There children were 4, 11 and 13 at the time. I believe they had a good time, plenty for the children to do rides ect. It is a very 'busy' site but they like that sort of thing and enjoyed it.

Apart from games room, there is nothing in the evening on site to do. Maybe this is because you get cream crackered in the the leisure park all day, you wont want to do much apart from collapse in the evening! (speaking from experience..) however, Dartmouth town centre is just down the road which is lovely in the evening, with most places open.

Hi Tony

The park is great, though havn't used the campsite. We go to woodlands about 3 times a year but live quite local, it is out in the sticks a bit and you will probably need to drive for entertainment in the evening but there are some great villages small towns around, really depends on what you want for the holiday, I'm sure some just stay at the park all day everyday.

Im in Devon. Havent been to the site but in my opinion I would say it was nothing like a haven site.  The site looks like its a bit away from the main leisure park bit and looks quite nice.  Like someone else said I wouldnt have thought you would need much to do in the evening.  The park has loads to keep kids occupied during the day.

You could do an evening drive to the south coast - Dartmouth/Kingsbridge area if you want an evening out.  Dartmouth is lovely and pretty.

This won't be a holiday from Hell. The site is well run and has a good facility block, I think there is a new shop opening on site as well.

The campsite is immediately adjacent to the theme park but this shouldn't be a problem.

I store a lot of our customers vans there over the winter and we also have season tickets for the park, my kids love it there.

Evenings rely on you, there are no activities as such, but Dartmouth is only 10 minutes away - but please do not attempt to walk to the local pub, the road is lethal at night.

Have a good stay.
