Honestly don't know where the 5 star reviews come from other people must be staying at a different site, where do we Begin firstly the 1oclock arrival time was not addeared to and people where arriving from 10 o'clock and being let on when it's drilled into you not to arrive early when others are arriving at the stated time.The facilities haven't changed for 15 plus years toilet blocks disgusting dirty and black mould allover the ceiling in the showers (health hazard) and the pitches themselves are a mess no proper up keep hard to get on to the only baby wash room we could use due to people hogging keys smelled of raw sewage so couldn't bathe my baby for 6 days unacceptable, secondly the staff at the club where so rude and unfriendly it's like they dident want to be there and people where and inconvenience to them and the food wasn't good and it was expensive. And in general the site is very run down and not worth the money just so dissapointed as this site was once really nice but now needs a serious overall so due to this will not be coming again which is a shame on a positive the location is lovely and the dog walk is nice such a shame the site has become so run down :(
Absolute Gem
I asked for recommendations on CAMC chat and this was recommended. I was so impressed by the facilities! we took the grandchildren and they loved it! I didn't actually know they did entertainment so this was a bonus.
Nice private pitches and some little copses which hold four vans/caravans. Spotless showers, really really enjoyed this site. We will be back
Very relaxing stay on dog-, family-friendly site
I hadn’t booked so a short wait before I could get in but thereafter everything was great. Very friendly lady on reception, gave me map of site and guided to nice sheltered site (was very blustering when I arrived). Lots of relaxed families, dog owners on site. Great wildlife by my pitch kept my pup up and intrigued all night. Staff visible and available to help. Well stocked shop. Would have liked a coffee machine and maybe some fresh pastries on site but not fatal to the great time we had. Very enjoyable stay.
Disappointed
We have been coming here for years but will be giving it a miss next year until the long overdue improvement to the site is completed. Negatives,toilets are awful,broken seats toilets that don't, flush ,sewerage smell from family room when I went to bath my granddaughter. Loads of privacy hedges removed for whatever reason leaving some pitches exposed to the elements and no privacy. Meals in the club expensive and poor quality ,when we asked about something missing from one of the meals we were greeted with an abrupt response from a member of staff
Who looked like it was too much trouble to sort it
Site very quiet for peak season,

A lovely place to stay, perfect for visiting the surrounding area
We stayed for 4 nights in July, enjoyed so much we booked an extra night. Good facilities, outdoor pool was a plus. The staff at the bar and restaurant were excellent, and the food was really good. Great base to visit Dartmouth, Brixham and Torquay. Also visited Salcombe which was beautiful. Our only gripe is that we booked a service pitch and these weren't in the beast place in our opinion. We felt very hemmed in. We will definitely visit again, but will not choose a service pitch.
Everything was just right
We stayed at this site two weeks ago and loved it from the beginning. The staff were so helpful, they allocated us a level pitch which we had requested, helped us out when we had problems with the electricity, cheerfully froze ice blocks for us and were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The toilets and shower block was well designed and very clean. The restaurant food was very good and there was a good range of drinks. The location was wonderful with beautiful views across to the sea. Public transport was great, bus stops outside to go to Kingswear one way and Brixham and Paignton the other. It was the perfect place for us to walk the SW coastal path and we returned two weeks later to complete that section. It is the best site we’ve stayed at and we would certainly love to return.
Great June Holiday!
We visited Hillhead Club site for the first time in June. It is easy accessible and close to visit many places in south Devon.
We took the local bus on most days out which is right outside the site. We visited by bus Kingswear and took the ferry to Dartmouth. By bus we also visited Brixham, Paignton and Torquay. We took the car to visit Buckfastleigh.
Places of interest we visited Dartmouth Castle, Buckfast Abbey, the Valiant Solider Museum as well as the various beaches and harbours in the above mentioned towns.
The Club site has a well stocked shop, Club house with free entertainment most nights. Restaurant and swimming pool! We used everything except the swimming pool.
The facilities here are very clean and tidy and the staff are helpful and friendly.
We could highly recommend this site. :)
Lovely site
First time to this site after a recommendation and are really pleased we went. The site is well located for public transport links to Brixham, Paignton, Torquay and Dartmouth if you don’t have or want to use a car. We didn’t use the swimming pool but it looked very nice and has a separate toddler/children’s pool. We didn’t use the shop as we only were there for 3 nights but it looked well stocked. We will definitely go back.
Deserves more than a couple of days.
Nice site with good facilities. Central between Brixham and Kingswear. We walked to both (on separate days) and caught the bus back, which stops right at the gates. We were a bit near the road for noise, but had a pleasant couple of days there.
Lovely Campsite
We have just had a 3 night stay in Hillhead. We cannot say a bad word about this site! Food is good, all staff are very friendly including bar staff. The site is very well kept and clean. It helped that we had fabulous weather and it was not a school holiday - this is our 4th visit and we will return.
