Hi

I'm very excited as we have just booked Cofton for 12 nights in August after reading the reviews on the camp site search. We are taking 2 teens aged 13 & 15 (the 18 year old may come if he doesn't get a better offer!!) is it really as good as you all say?

Hi Pam & Kev

We will be there in August too! It's our first time also, I went off the reviews. I assumed it will be very busy there won't be many sites with pools etc that aren't busy in the school hols but I hope that the pool is not too dangerous I could do without a trip to A&E. I'm sure that we will all have a great time, and there looks to be loads to do in the surrounding area.

Hi Pam and Kev

the family and I are going to Cofton for 14 nights on 15th August which is the middle 2 weeks of the holidays. Picked these dates to avoid the main 2 weeks and hoping it will be a little quieter when we go. We too went off the recommendations on this site and feedback from the forums. Can't wait til summer now, its like being a kid again going camping. Just the trailer and tow bar to get now so we can actually get our gear down to Devon.

we have been there a few times over the years but always out of the school holidays. We stopped going when our boys started school, and our 4 man dome became a Vango tunnel and therefore difficult to accomodate. Otherwise it's  a good site with very good facilities and in a nice part of the country. In my view highly recommended until it gets busy.

We visited Cofton last August & absolutely loved it.

Facilities were good (given that it was peak time). On site shop, take away & pub were all brilliant. Fresh bread every morning. Swimming pool & grassed area surrounding it was gorgeous.

The best discovery was a pub called The Anchor in Cockwood. 10 minutes walk, next to a picturesque harbour & some of the greatest food you'll ever find. Don't take bookings, however, so get there early. And take a torch 'cos it's a dark walk home.

You'll love it. We're either going back there or we may try Peppermint Park. Definately going back to that area however; Dawlish Warren was excellent.

You'll love it
