 This is a very large site but the layout makes it feel compact.
It was excellent in every respect - the pitches, the facilities, the location, the views and the staff.

What a little gem! Unfortunately we arrived on the last day the pool was open, but as it was lovely and sunny hubby enjoyed a quick swim.
We could pick our own pitch, and the wardens were so helpful and cheerful. The site is very hilly ( as the name suggests) so maybe not so suitable for the les able.
Toilet and shower facilities immaculate.
There is a bar which serves food and has entertainment - fairly basic bar meals, but handy for a night without cooking. Entertainment typical campsite singers!
Bus stops outside for various destinations.
Definitely will be going again

Back at Hillhead for the first time in 5 years and we still love it.
Friendly, quick check in and love to be able to choose our own pitch.
Managed to get a large hardstanding pitch with stunning sea view for 4 nights.
Brilliant facilities and always clean and warm.
Lots of water points, bins (including recycling) etc. , around the site.
Well stocked shop on site (even out of the main season).
Bar and restaurant on site - for us the only negative during out stay! Called in for a drink first night, no real ale (had apparently sold out that day. Really?). We were told it would be on the next night so we planned to have our evening meal there. Arrived to find it was still off - settling apparently - and wouldn't be on until the next day! Their loss, no money spent there again. Didn't bother to go back during our next 2 nights. Entertainment on 3 out of our 4 nights.
Good walks from the site into Kingswear and Brixham, although the Brixham directions are VERY confusing (even our neighbour couldn't work it out and opted for the bus!).
Excellent bus service in the Torbay area, right from outside the site entrance. £2 per person per trip or £6. 50 per person for the Torbay Day Rider. Well worth the money as we went from the site to Paignton, Babbacombe, Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and back to the site all in one day.
It would've been 10/10 for us but dropped a point for the disappointing bar facilities.

Just spent 10 days here.
Great location, toilet blocks always clean.
Pitches OK but varied in size.
Didn't use the pool but looked great for the kids.
Nice bar, was able to find seats every night,
Good reasonably priced food & drink and good entertainment every night

Our first time visit to Hillhead was as part of a Dorset/Devon/Somerset ten day road trip.
The site is big and has a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches all in nicely landscaped avenues and cul-de-sacs and given the bad weather while we were in this area, at least one of the grass pitches we tried proved impossible to get onto and to get level so we gave up and moved onto another pitch. The site appeared to be fully booked during the time we were there.
The grounds are well cared for, and the facilities across the site are excellent.
I’m not sure how many wardens and staff worked at Hillhead, but there were quite a few if you include the bar staff and kitchen team in the restaurant. All the staff we came across were effective and efficient.
We did have two nice meals in the bar, and on both nights there was entertainment too. The swimming pool was open, and it looked a fair size but we didn’t use it.
There is a bus Stop at the gate for buses into Kingswear (for Dartmouth), Brixham and Paignton help keep the site connected just check the timings.
Loved Dartmouth and would certainly go back, not so much Brixham and definitely not Paignton - but each to his own, I can see the benefit for families.

Our first visit to Hillhead with friends, initially planned to go to the Dartmouth Music festival which had unfortunately changed dates due to the Kings Coronation, which we only became aware 3 weeks prior.
The site is big and has a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches all in nicely landscaped avenues and cul-de-sacs. There are also tent pitches.
The grounds looked well cared for, and the facilities were good too and clean.
Not sure how many wardens and staff worked at Hillhead, but there were quite a few if you include the bar staff and kitchen team. All the staff we came across were helpful and cheery, and put on a really good get together in the the on site club and bar which included a glass of bubbly and a tasty free BBQ, whilst we watched the Coronation on the big screen in the club.
The site was quite quiet for a bank holiday, probably put off by the awful weather (rain and hill mist every day except one during our stay) and staying at home for the Kings Coronation.
We did have a nice meal in the bar on our last night, and on many nights there was entertainment too. Not sure if the swimming pool was open, but it looked a fair size.
We would come back again, like this time out of season, as I can imagine how busy this site must be like with 250+ pitches full.
Bus Stop at gates for buses into Kingswear, Brixham and Paignton help keep the site connected and a great National Trust house and garden at Coleton Fishacre is a great place to visit.

Clean and tidy as you expect from a caravan motorhome site.
Breathtaking panoramic views, beautiful places to visit for days out.
Excellent facilities, reasonable size pitch, welcoming staff.
Only downside was the cost for this at this time of year, at £52 a night we thought this expensive! Especially as the pool was dirty and grubby which is in included in the charge.
We didn't use the bar or shop on this stay so unfair to comment.

A fairly large site with 243 pitches and lovely views over Torbay.
There is a large enclosed dog field and the site has a bar and restaurant, playground and shop. We visited first in November 2020 when the site was quiet and the restaurant, shop and bar were closed.
Our second visit was in August 2021 when the site was fully booked and all the facilities open.
Even full, the site wasn’t noisy and the site has some nice little sections shielded by hedges which makes it feel more intimate despite it being a large site.
Our third visit was in March 2022 and the bar and restaurant was open from Wednesdays onwards. We had dinner in the conservatory which is dog friendly.

Nearly cancelled after reading some of the previous reviews so was pleasantly surprised how good the site was. Although we were lucky to be on a service pitch on the top half of the site, with a lovely sea view.
Not sure I would like some of the pitches at the bottom of the site as very enclosed with no views. Some of the pitches were also rather cramped, only room for the caravan and awning and had to park the car across the front.
Wifi hit and miss, no idea how it has a silver rating. We had glorious sunshine so disappointed that the pool was closed along with the restaurant on two of the nights of our four night stay.
Plenty to do in the surrounding area and Burgh Island, Bigbury on sea not to be missed.
One downside, on checking in my wife had been overcharged, I did get a refund.

We were unsure about this site, given its size, but found ourselves pleasantly surprised. Although large, pitches are generally in small areas, surrounded by hedges.
There was almost a continental feel about this layout. The views were superb from much of the site (although I think the hedges may have blocked this from many of the pitches).
Large dog walk, with plenty of room to let dogs run off lead and an adjacent field for ball games and general exercise. Both overlooked the bay.
There is also a very adventurous looking playground, but we didn't use that, lol! neither did we use the pool, but it looked lovely.
The shop had basic stocks - bread, camping stuff, some chilled items, newspapers etc.
The site was very busy, especially with motorhomers, who used the buses which stopped outside. One bus goes down to Kingswear for the ferry to Dartmouth and the other way is Brixham.
Lovely friendly wardens, although we had little interaction with them. Usual CAMC quality as regards cleanliness etc.
We would go again (and that surprises us too!).
