Why stay here ...

Set in 22 acres of Devon countryside and close to the beach, Hillhead Club Campsite offers some of the finest facilities in the network. As well as this, the caravan site is set in a fantastic location with a large number of pitches offering stunning views of the sea and surrounding coastlines. There is plenty of entertainment for both the young and old with an outdoor heated swimming pool and children's pool, playground, play area and an indoor complex housing a shop, bar, restaurant and takeaway service for all the conveniences you could want. Hillhead Club Campsite also hosts a varied selection of evening entertainment and themed events, especially during peak season.

For those wanting to explore further afield there are miles of sandy beaches, an 18-hole golf course, pitch and putt, tennis, fishing, sailing, steam railway trips and a zoo, all within easy reach. If you fancy a spot of shopping, the busy town of Brixham is less than two miles away, Paignton and Torquay are nearby and the ferry across to the pretty harbour of Dartmouth is only a 5 minute drive from the site. For walkers, a lovely stroll along the cliffs takes you to down to sandy beach at Broadsands.

The site received a fantastic new playground as well as improvements to the pavements around the covered courtyard area near the entertainment complex as part of a recent refurbishment.

 

Please Note: There is no longer a games room on our site.

Lovely site and staff but noisy

Hillhead Club Campsite
I would happily go back to this site but out of season! Quiet in the morning but extremely noisy in the afternoon and nighttime (until very late). My children experienced bullying in the playground (not reported to staff). Long wait in the pub (an hour) but food was good, freshly made and of a good quality. Recommend out of season but on the whole a great site. Would have given 5/5 across the board out of season.

Without motor mover beware!

Hillhead Club Campsite

Having visited this site more than 13 years decided to give it another go. Booked a service pitch, maybe that was the first mistake. These are in difficult to access cul de sacs for the majority. Once down them you cant turn around, so check before you commit to that part. Although, you are blocking the roadways whilst one of you runs down to see if there is a pitch if this is not immediately apparent!. Once down these roads there are pitches which are side on instead of reversing to the marker front to back, so depending on which side of the road you are on, it is virtually impossible to get on them without a mover (hence my title). We managed to get on a side facing pitch but had we had a full awning there is no way we could get our car on as well, luckily we only had a porch awning. But it was very tight. If we were to visit again we would go for a grass pitch if possible as these were larger on the whole, but that would mean dragging water bottles and waste masters about, and this site is very hilly. The facilities are the usual high standards of the CMC, although the ladies door on one block slams shut ever few seconds to such an force that it ripped the door jam of the frame, leaving exposed screws until it was fixed the next day, (an adjustment of the self closing mechanism should be an easy fix) but it was still slamming after this. Husband said the toilets didn't flush enough water down them in some cubicles (make of this what you like). Swimming pool was very nice and lifeguards present. Dog walk excellent with some lovely views. Shop seemed on the pricy side but only used it once. Club house does food as nowhere local within walking distance, limited menu but on the whole the quality was about average if a little on the pricy side. Dogs are allowed in the covered outdoor area the uncovered patio and on the tiled area inside the building. Entertainment was on most nights with a singer for about an hour, but after 9.30pm nothing if you want that sort of thing. Which leads me to the site prices, at a cost averaging £57 a night over 8 nights (although over the bank holiday) it wont be my first choice to visit again. There is better value on other sites with similar/better facilities but that's down to choice. Talking to another couple in the dog walk they had an incident with a dog on another pitch who was off the lead, whereby a Staffy attacked the owner after it went for his dog, it ripped his jumper, (yes he did report it, but don't know the outcome). I can confirm that this dog was the same one we had seen the previous day who seemed really nasty although it was tied up at the time.

Relaxing break

Hillhead Club Campsite
Just come home from a weeks stay. Had a grass pitch for a change really nice lots of choice. Site half full. I like the new fencing and removal of some older hedges to give the site a more open feel just hope they don’t remove to many. We are regulars to this site and this was our first visit this year and we were really happy to see the wardens red motorhome still there fred & his lovely wife make Hillhead what it is they are so friendly from the point of arrival it wouldn’t be the same without all their hard work and passion for this site may it last a long time. We walked the entire site and didn’t even see one piece of rubbish absolutely immaculate. Will be returning next month.

Lesson Learnt - But Lovely Site

Hillhead Club Campsite
Brilliant site. We really enjoyed our stay here in early May 2022. The one thing we might do differently next time is NOT to book a Serviced Pitch. We have a long twin axle van and the choice of serviced pitches big enough for us was a little limited whilst there were a good number of very large and very private standard pitches with amazing views that would have been lovely. Nonetheless a great site. We'll be back.

Great Stay

Hillhead Club Campsite

This was our first visit to this site and it didn't disappoint. The staff were welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful. We had a problem with our hook-up and they went out of their way to help us. Facilities were spotlessly clean. We used the bar, but didn't eat there. The pool looked good, but it was closed as off season. The play area for children looked great, but we didn't use it. Pitches are nicely laid out, some different shapes to others, but plenty to suit all.  Perfect location for the bus stop (at the site entrance) to Paington or Kingswear (for Dartmouth). We will definitely go back, as there's still plenty more to explore in the area.
