 My wife and I stayed here for 4 days in april,
the site is situated on a busy dual carriage way and approx 2 miles from torquay and paignton.
The site is very clean and tidy,the showers and toilets also very clean.
We stayed on the top plateau and there was only 1 shower and 1 toilet so it could get busy during peak season.
The club house was reasonably priced with good entertainment and staff friendly and helpful.
You will need a car to get about.
Would stay here again no doubt as paignton is such a beautiful place to visit and the site fees are very good.

Just returned from Widdcombe farm and was impressed by the site.
We had a super pitch so had everything to hand.
The pitches were well sized and well maintained.
Staff very friendly and very helpful.
Toilet blocks very clean and well equipped.
Nice bar with entertainment and prices very reasonable.
The poppies restaurant on site is a must, the food is absolutely delicious and wonderfully presented and the service was second to none.
I had the best steak ever and the most tasty stilton sauce. The prices are excellent to.
There is also a small shop on site which provides the basics.
I only have one negative, and that was I wasn't allowed to bring my Rottie as this breed of dog is not allowed on site, which was a shame because he is very well behaved and would have loved it there. Having said that, I loved meeting Scooby the farm dog.
If you have a car there is plenty of places to visit and all signposted clearly.
During the weekend we visited Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Goodrington sands and torbay.
The site itself is set in a hill, so be aware of this when booking, it wasn't a problem for us, and if you have any difficulties with hills you can have a pitch at the bottom of the hill.
There is a dog field so you can exercise your pooch.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would def go again.

Very nice quiet adult only campsite, good clean facilities & friendly helpful staff, pitches were of good size & well maintained, drinks prices in clubhouse inline with pubs, entertainment ok but you can`t complain if it`s free. Like most camp shops the prices were a bit keen.
The only problem I had was filling my internal water tank in the van, the only hose fitting I had was the screw on type which is used on most sites i`ve used. On this site push on type was needed & even that could be tricky as the taps didn`t have very long spouts on them.
Over all not a bad place to stay & would again if in the area.
Tip: If you want to get around via public transport the bus that comes into the camp is ok but your travel is limited, if you go out of the main entrance & turn right onto the old road you can safely walk to Marldon (about 20 mins) & catch the no 11 stagecoach bus at Vicarage Hill. Ask the driver about cheap ticket deals (we did & saved ££££`s`for a week & was unlimited for travel)

Just came back from a 10 day holiday in Devon. Was a nice site with ample space for the dog field and the pitch was OK. Could of been a bit bigger as we struggled to reverse out of the parking space next to the tent as the other tents were too close. The other campers had to watch us reverse out as to not damage their tents.
The entertainment was good but as I am quite young I got a few strange looks as they were all older than me. The site cannot really help this though
I found the toilets and showers were OK, but I have seen better but they were quite clean.
When we arrived there they were very helpful and kind.
We did leave the site after 2 nights as my girlfriend decided she didn't like camping anymore so we went to stay at her parents caravan down the road
Overall it was a good stay but there are some things that I would change.

Spent 9 nights on this site. On the approach you may find that you could overshoot the entrance due to it just being past a bend on the fast A380. This site is adult only.
The site is on the side of a hill but all the pitches are on flat 'platos' There are different types of pitch ranging from non electric to super pitch, the latter we hired. The super pitch has everything, hard standing, grass, water tap, waste gully and even your own toilet ! ( only to empty your elsan in but I was tempted! ).
There are three statics which I am told you can hire. There is a club on site however I found that it doesn't cater for all adult ages but more for middle aged and older.
There are a number of toilet blocks with dishwashing sinks around the site but all of the showers are in the middle of the site next to the reception, small shop, poppies restaurant, and a laundrette. Inside the laundrette is a freezer that you can use if you label your items ( I'm assuming free use )
If you arrive through the night there is a large 'late arrivals' area. The dog walking area is quite large however I did notice some dog do - do near the mini roundabout ( very naughty ). A fish and chip van arrived one evening ( tuesday ) which I thought was a great idea.
Tents are welcome and appear to be on the upper areas of the site. The staff were really nice and usually have time to have a chat if you want to.
The site is well situated for the torbay area and access is very good with very good facilities. Agatha Christie fans will love the area. Public transport is very varied including steam trains and ferry/boat rides.
Word of warning: get yourself a road map of the area because if you try and use your sat nav it will more than likely take you down a narrow road.

Just back from one week camping here, first visit and will definitely be going again. Spotless site, adequate pitches,toilets and showers spotless and frreee, staff really friendly, on site restaurant / shop / pub / club with free entertainment
Best of all adults only, and how peaceful it was too, prices very reasonable (hope they keep it reasonable). Central to lots of places to visit, we were on pitch b61 at the top and what views you had first thing in the morning when the mist clears,

The tent pitches are not big enough for modern day tents. Our pitch was the biggest on the site but on so much of a slope only half of it could be used. Our neighbour had to park his car on our pitch because he could not fit it on his pitch with his 8 berth tent.
The site is very regimented and for an adult only site you feel like a child because there are so many do and don't notices. Do not arrive late or early as you have to pitch in part of the crop field.
I agree the views are beautiful and the site spotlessly clean but it is very 'cliquey' site. The shower blocks are very clean and well maintained. It is located on a very busy road with traffic noise constant throughout the day and night. The shop is well stocked but expensive.

What a brilliant site. Quiet but with a great location. Shop, restaurant and bar on site which is a great bonus.
The layout is great and the facilities were clean and there was always hot water. The hedges are placed just right to act as windbreaks and give you any protection that may be needed.
Good big area for exercising the dogs, and the staff are extremely helpful and polite.
All the local towns are within easy reach, and when there the weather was also a huge bonus.
We will return again.

We revisited this site on the recent bank holiday weekend and whilst I stand by the good review I have previously given I would like to add that it was much busier on this visit and I felt the tents were pitched too close together.
Our friends had to put their tent up at an angle due to a very large tent being placed opposite their pitch - if they hadn't there would not have been room to get a car between them.
Also the nearest toilet block (for the ladies) had 1 shower cubicle, 3 toilets and 2 handbasin cubicles - if you think about it that means you could go to the loo and find yourself with nowhere to wash your hands! I think the problem was similar for the men but I didn't go to check!

Enjoyable place. Toilets & Showers were very clean. They had staff checking regular, just to make sure. I didn't sample the bar and entertainment as I was checking the local area. Wish I had. If I am in the area again, I will stay there again. The campsite has loads of room. Was able to pitch tent and drive to the towns near the area. Loads of places to go and explore
