Why stay here ...
Due to the current government advice surrounding the coronavirus outbreak, the Bar and Bistro will be closed until further notice. We are pleased to offer a limited Take Away service – for more information, please contact the site team. We thank you in advance for your support and patience.
Set in 22 acres of Devon countryside and close to the beach, Hillhead Club Site 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 (late May), playground, play area and an indoor complex housing a games room, shop, bar, restaurant and takeaway service for all the conveniences you could want. Hillhead Club Site 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.

One of the best
The site's description under 'Why stay here' is all true.
I'd emphasise the views of rolling countryside and the ocean, which are completely rural with no towns, or even villages, in sight. Yet the site is ideally placed for a short bus ride to either Brixham, Paignton and Dartmouth (via Kingswear). The buses stop right outside the site entrance.
I was travelling solo but, if you have kids, there seems to be plenty to occupy them. Otherwise, just sit back and relax, and enjoy the tranquility and privacy of your own pitch, sheltered by mature hedges.
First visit...could not fault.
We thought this place was fantastic! We were running late and had a call from the manager at 4 to see if everything was ok and to check we were still coming. On arrival, however late we were, she was very helpful, courteous and efficient. We’re usually off gridders and so found the site luxurious. Massive pitches. Plenty of room to manoeuvre. Loved the privacy hedges too. Facilities were the best we’ve ever seen! Warm, clean and underfloor heating!!?? Spoilt. The dog area is the biggest we’ve seen too! A large area for lead walking and a further very secure gated area for off lead. Plenty of poo bins. Every member of staff was friendly. Even an external trades person was friendly! Most of the people we passed said hello. A really feel good site. We went to Centry earlier in the year which is cheaper but not a patch on Hill Head. Easy to find and negotiate around the site. Can’t fault it. Shame about negative comments re new year celebrations. We weren’t there for them so can’t comment other than speaking to a couple opposite that come every year. They said it was different than previous years and went on to describe what they enjoy about it. We will undoubtedly return when we visit our family again. Well done everyone who works to create a well run site. Thank you and Happy New Year. See you then. Fiona and Niki 👍
Fantastic site with Amazing staff who work hard to ensure Christmas and New year are a wonderful holiday experience
We have just returned from Hillhead Caravan Club site where we stayed for the Christmas and New year period and are unable to understand the negative reviews.
We enjoyed the site facilities and tourist attractions in the surrounding areas including the beaches and sea fronts in the day and visited the club in the evenings where met old friends and made new friends.
The club complex was a pleasure to visit it provided a friendly and lively environment.
During our visit the site staff and Bar/Restaurant/Entertainment staff worked very hard to ensure all members had a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
The restaurant and bar were reasonably priced, the staff very pleasant and helpful, the site had a brilliant festive atmosphere not only from the decorations provided by the site staff but by the many decorated pitches around the site.
At mid-night New years Eve there was a lot of people in the club room enjoying a traditional New Years Eve celebration.
Christmas and New year 2019
Stayed here for Christmas and New Year 2019. Very disappointed with the overall experience compared to 3 years ago. very little atmosphere in the clubhouse even on New years eve people were leaving at 9.30. Drinks expensive a half pint of lemonade was £2.10 and a pint around £4. Games room was closed most nights. Except for New Years eve the so called entertainment finished at 9.15. For a couple the cost was £35 per night. The same time next year it will be £45 per night. Come on Caravan Club you are taking the urine. As you probably guess we will NOT be there next year
Brilliant
We stayed for 2 nights had a brilliant time. Wardens really friendly. The site was so nice views from some of the pitches beautiful. Facilities lovely and clean and under floor heating was lovely. Did have a bar on site which was really nice. We caught the bus which the stop was outside the campsite into kingswear then got the ferry across to Dartmouth which was fantastic place. We would definitely come again when in that area.
