 Lovely place for a nice quiet few days away.
Sunday roast was lovely. Staff were great.
The sun was shining had everything you could of wanted for a long weekend only wish I never booked longer.
Things might have been very different if it was raining.
If you never been before then I do recommend

Great location although road to the site is a little narrow in places and locals use it as a short cut to avoid Paignton.
No real rules or guidelines so children left to run wild during the evening while parents are in the club house.
Toilet block very dated, main showers generally cold, there is a newer block at the other side of the site but a bit of a trek early in the morning or late at night.
We were unlucky as the swimming pool was out of action for 5 days due to a pump issue.
Pitch sizes are not great, after we set up someone came around and marked the pitch with white paint leaving us with about a meter on the near side of our caravan with awning, enough for our Cadac but no where for seating outside outside.
Paignton, Torquay and Totnes all about 10 minutes away.
Would we go back? Cheap site so maybe but would check out other local options first.

Mostly tourers on site, so we were one of two tents. Good sized pitch, many tent pitches had a slight slope but ours was ok.
Tent non dog pitches are around the playground which was great at times but also meant it was busy with kids until it went dark.
Also could hear the road but after 10. 30 dark and quiet.
The small heated pool on site was a good bonus, also a small shop and clubhouse.
Facilities ok and 10min drive into Paignton so good location.

Lovely warm welcome and shown to pitch by a very helpful lady,
Clean site and facilities if a little dated,
Warm outdoor swimming pool,
Well stocked and very reasonably priced on site bar with evening entertainment,
Close proximity to Paignton Zoo and a little further to town,
Supermarkets close by as well

Stayed here for 9 nights. Although we had some issues with the pitch we were on and my wife suffered a fall resulting in hospital the site itself is mainly very well kept.
The toilets and showers are excellently kept and we used the takeaway one evening which served up very good food. It was a shame that when we were there they only opened for 2 evenings per week.
The site manager did take the time to contact us after our visit regarding my complaints about the pitch and I think this resulted in lessons learnt from both sides. I compliment the manager for taking the time to discuss things with us as it is a very large and busy site to take care of.

The website makes this campsite look really good, unfortunately the reality is somewhat different.
This is not really a touring site, it is quite a large site and the majority of the caravans on site were either static or seasonals ( most of which were unoccupied at the time we were there) which gives the site a very different feel.
Upon arrival I was asked if I was fit & well! I realised after, this was because the pitch we were allocated was a good walk up quite a steep incline to the toilet & showers!
There were about 3 or 4 of us in a bit of a neglected area down by the play area, we felt like an afterthought to the main area. The toilets & showers were adequate, but very tired & old.
We did not use the bar but our neighbours said it too was run down & the decor looked like it was from the 60s or 70s, but not in a good way!
There was a small pool on site but it didn’t look very inviting. The shop too was barely open whilst we were there.
We went in June but would hate to be paying high season prices. Entirely not our sort of site, although from the website we thought it was!
We will not be returning.

This site must have the most misleading website I have ever seen. The site was virtually devoid of people when we were there,
the site was pretty well full of caravans so I can only assume that they were seasonal pitches not used in June!
The place is very difficult to get to. The whole place seemed very tired.
Genuine tourers seemed to be placed in a small area at the bottom of a slope a long way from the facilities.
The deal we got was very good value for June and the pitch size was excellent, but I left with the feeling that we got what we paid for.

We have recently stayed here as a couple and 1 dog. The site is large, with really good sized pitches some are huge! there is a outdoor pool which is warm and very clean, a shop, cafe take away and a pub on site.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and the facilities are spotless I think this is going to be a regular on our list.
Its so close to everywhere so its great you can be in paignton, torquay, brixham in just a few minutes. It is a shame its not on a bus route but you cant have everything. The dog walk through the wooded area and the dog field is great ourdog loved it.
We cant wait to return and were telling al our friends about it.

Stayed for one week at Widend, pitch was very spacious and level, requested a hard stand when we booked which we got, lovely and peaceful plenty of room around the pitch with awning and our patio furniture out, very tidy facilities
clean and spacious, two shower blocks so not too busy, takeaway food was good tried the breakfast one morning and a evening meal gammon egg and chips was well worth £4. 50p, everyone was very friendly and helpful as we had not been to Devon before felt very welcomed, The pool was lovely and warm plenty of sun loungers. Just the two of us no kids, so didn't, go the playground. The bar was reasonably priced and had a mix of beers and Devon ale. Very friendly, and helpful staff.
Ideal location for visiting Paigton, Torquay and Totnes. Recommend the round robin steam train, cruise and open top bus we had a great day, take a picnic, day out Brixam lovely pebble beach nice shops, loved the harbour, plenty of pubs around for eating out. Would be returning to Widend ideal location for visiting South Devon.

We picked this site out of the blue following a Google search and have been pleasantly surprised. We tend to avoid commercial sites normally due to some bad experiences, however at Widend we couldn't have hoped for a better site.
Pitches are spacious and well kept, the toilet blocks and amenities are kept very clean and are better than many we have encountered.
Although the weather wasn't brilliant (what can you expect in October) we really enjoyed our time hear.
Too many places to visit within easy reach of the site to mention.
The staff on site were very friendly and helpful and the site has a great number of amenities that we would love to have been able to utilise more.
We would recommend this site to young families and couples and at some point we will visit again.
