 Good and plentiful washrooms, spotlessly clean. Some slight road noise bot not too intrusive. Lots of dog walks. Good bar which is a bit pricey but ok. Couple of pubs serving good food in easy walking distance. Bus runs from site entrance. Lovely indoor swimming pool but avoid kids lesson times.

This site is beautiful, it's grounds are well kept and a pleasure to walk round. There's always friendly staff at hand if you need assistance with anything.
The shop sells a good assortment of food items. You could grab a bite to eat in the cafe/restaurant and reasonably priced. There's something for everyone.
Nice swimming pool and spotlessly clean toilets and showers. Lots for children to do. Fishing was good and it's also a dog friendly site.
What a lovely holiday what a lovely site can't fault anything.

Stopped here for 10 days and well where to start. The pitch was at the far end of the campsite in the barn field and getting there through the campsite was a job in itself. There is no speed limit well not what I could see and no pedestrian only route so the roads through the site doubled up as footpaths kids everywhere running wild so you will need to be extra vigilant. The chemical waste outlets are a joke only being 3 on the whole site and they were no where near enough. The shower/toilet blocks are excellent and modern shame you have to walk a good distance to get to them as the toilet block on the field we were at was an old prefab hut (not nice). The pitches should better divided as a small line barely visible is whats there, this enabling groups to pitch together resulting in one case 10 parties taking over one part of the field parking where they wanted so on. Security was called on numerous occasion due to the noise and after 3 days of loud music and shouting they finally quietened down staff did not seemed too bothered which was a shame.
The shop on site was probably the best I've seen well stocked and not too expensive however the bars made up for that though. The food typical pub grub was far expensive for what it was. We were charged £8. 99 for a bowl of tortilla chips with some melted cheese on it and literally a spoonful of chilli. When complained I was told basically tough. £4 for a pint of coke just a joke but I suppose you have to finance the new indoor pool somehow. This was okay but the changing rooms and lockers are just as you go in so there is always a back log of people going in, coming out and fetching the cloths to get changed.
You can see how the park has expanded over the years but the basic infrastructure needs updating before someone either crashes or gets run over because it will happen organised chaos springs to mind.
Good points are new shower/toilet blocks, good size pitches, 16 amp hook ups, good shop, ample water points
Bad points are no one way system (needs addressing), only 3 chemical waste points. Poor lighting at night especially if you need the toilet take a torch, not enough toilet/shower blocks, to many groups allowed and not policed to a good standard. Site is massive far too big for the amenities they offer and it is literally first come first served. Entertainment venue would have been ideal 5 years ago but far too small. This is a fair campsite but it could be amazing if more attention to basic rules were applied

We visited here before children's holidays and were really surprised at how busy the site is. It is some time since we had been before but it was just a mass of vans and so many were seasonal ones. Because the site is well landscaped it helps a lot but it is nothing like it used to be.
Standard of toilet cleaning which used to be amazing had lapsed and there was food in the showers in the evening and just not well serviced. What was quite worrying was that we only saw a couple of very small signs for 5mph on the Site and the worst culprits were the site staff wizzing around on their golf buggies and 4x4's etc and the bin collectors. This with so many young children on their bikes.
Very upset that we couldn't get TV where we were - it would have been nice to have been told this could happen - maybe we would be selected a serviced pitch. Staff not interested - just said it was luck of the draw.
Also only 3 chemical toilet disposal points on the 30acres of site.
The new restaurant and bar is very impressive but prices are more than local pubs.

We love Cofton for many reasons. Its location is so convenient for lovely walks, visiting Exeter I could go on and on. The staff are so helpful and kind and the shop has everything you could want in the way of a really good convenience store. The site is quiet and peaceful with the convenience of a restaurant meal or a bar if you feel you want to eat out. For a family with youngsters the attraction is immediately obvious. Cofton is primarily designed for families with children. And it does that job amazingly well. However, if you are an older traveller they have allocated an area near the bottom of the site by the lake where they direct the golden oldies. An area with peace and tranquillity where the noisy rumbustious children rarely stray. Unfortunately although the shower and toilet block is always kept clean it is very tired and dated. We went in January and at 8am on a cold winters morning it is unwelcoming cavernous and very, very cold. We unwittingly booked on a Spring bank holiday and were amazed by the sumptuousness of the facilities in the upper fields compared to the offering near the lake. So: Dear Mr and Mrs Jefferey please spare a thought for the crinkles in the lower areas. Get that big fat wallet out and modernise the lower block. I will then get my wallet out and pay you more for your wonderful offering.

I recently stayed here for 2 nights. Firstly I'd say this isn't the sort of site I'd usually choose due to its size. But I was pleasantly surprised all round. Pitches were very large and all the grounds were very tidy and well kept. The showers and toilet blocks were spotless. The restaurant was also a pleasant surprise as all the food was freshly cooked to order. I can recommend the full English breakfasts. There is an outdoor as well as an indoor pool. There are play areas for the children dotted around the site.
There is a lovely easy walk to Starcross with a cycle path to Exmouth. I intend to return with my bike sometime.
I was pitched by the fishing lakes which seemed very popular. I imagine a keen fisherman's paradise.
The reception staff were particularly helpful and welcoming. I didn't use the on site shop so I can't comment.
I will return to this site but only out of season as my children are grown up and I prefer a quieter stay. But for me out of season it's definitely on my list.

Just returned from a weekend at Cofton, had resavations about the site as we normally do not stay at a site so big, but was pleasantly surprised, the place is fantastic if you have young children, very good facilities and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The housekeeping and cleaning staff work incredibly hard to keep high cleanliness standards but sadly a few of the visitors do little to help with this or even clean up behind themselves. A lot of children and this makes this a vibrant fun atmosphere, really pleased we stayed and will definitely do it again before the end of the summer.

What a lovely site, have seen this site advertised for several years but had never chosen to stay, so glad we decided to for this holiday. Very friendly and accommodating people on reception. Were able to choose pitch, which was a good size and very near to water tap and toilet block, also Fish and Chip take away (lovely chips), laundry and dish washing area, short grass and level. The shower and toilet block were excellent, individual washing cubicles and very good showers, used the large ones which incorporated a sink, always kept very clean and tidy. This is a large site, but it doesn't feel it as there are separate areas, we noticed a very nice camping area set within an orchard.
We didn't use the swimming pool or gym, but will do I'm sure when we next visit! Excellent stocked shop. Visited the five lakes and enjoyed this amenity for a lovely walk.
Excellent bus service from right outside the site.
Cannot praise this site enough, especially as we were able to use our acsi card offering special rate for mid season.

Well, what a marvellous holiday park! It is HUGE yet feels small as it is divided into smaller areas.
We were pitched on one of the hard standings down by the fishing lakes. The pitch was a good size for our Pennine Folding Camper with the awning. Our car fitted by the side of it very nicely.
Most of the other people on the hard standings were either in caravans or motor homes (although another Folding Camper arrived a few days before we left).
We walked around the rest of the site and couldn’t believe quite how big it is! They have statics too, which looked nice.
I think the camping fields were a bit closely packed (for our liking anyway) so we were pleased with the pitch we had chosen.
The toilet and shower blocks were spotless. They are cleaned twice each day (I know one of the times was approx. 5. 30am as I had cause to use the facilities one morning!). I liked the showers at each end of the shower block best – they have a sink in with them and a bit more room so easier to keep clothing etc away from the lovely warm water. It has been said before, the showers are hot rather than warm so be careful!
There is a good shop on site which sells just about anything you can think of at the usual prices for these shops.
We didn’t eat at any of the restaurants or cafes as we were out most days and the other days we did our own barbeque.
Fishing wasn’t brilliant the week we visited – they were too busy spawning so nobody caught much.
The only downside that we found was the night lighting – it was sooo bright we didn’t use a torch once! Also, we thought one bright light on every other pitch seemed a bit excessive. Maybe they should think of dimming them a bit (a lot!) as the lights shone straight through the canvas on our camper and the motor home people near us said they had lights shining in every window (they were on the corner so had one right behind them and one to their right too). I think they should look into PIR lighting, especially for the toilet and shower block – and the one by the water taps! This would improve light pollution and their ‘green’ credentials.
We would return again but maybe on one of the grass pitches down by the lake (not so much light at night there!).
