Any ideas for south coast holiday park (1 Viewer)

[westhamman]

Now I know it does not appear to be common on the fun site, but I am looking for a Holiday park on the southcoast for August, clubhouse, swimming pool entertainmant the full works. I have looked online but a fun referral would be helpful. This is in order that my daughter and granddaughter can come along and my 4year old grandaughter does not do sitting still, being quiet. I realise this is expensive and that it could be a nightmare, but will be for 4 or 5 days maximum.

Yep Cofton Park in Devon nr Dawlish Warren is excellent
Pentewan Sands in Cornwall is also excellent

Have a look at Beverley Park near Paignton Devon it has all you need and more we stayed there some years back on grassy pitch with ehu and had an excellent deal and a good time.

I've heard that Sandy Balls is good for families

Haven or Parkdean sites both meet your requirements.
Pentewan Sands is good too.

Four or five nights might be a stumbling block, as many insist on a seven night booking.
Having said that, January is a good month to book, as early bird offers are still available.

My personal recommendation would be Duinrell in the Netherlands (I know, not UK )
It’s 200miles from Calais but worth the drive and extra effort. It offers so much for kids and costs about the same, perhaps even a little cheaper than Haven and the like...

Please note Beverley park does NOT accept dogs

Stayed here last year - not usual for us but we met up with some caravan friends and we love Weymouth.
It looked like a great place for kids.

Cofton has lovely indoor pool with sauna and steam room. My grandchildren love the pool as it has fountains to run through.
Outdoor pool in summer also, which I've not tried but looked good. There was a lifeguard on duty there.
Pub on site, restaurant.
Indoor arcade. Donkeys, kids playground. Close to the beach at Dawlish Warren.
If you book a pitch by the fishing lakes it's quite pretty and possibly a bit quieter.
I think the on site fish & chip shop is open high season. There's a large dog walking field.

Lady Mile at Dawlish Warren has indoor pool, pretty sure there's an outdoor pool as well. Club/ bar. Kids playground.
I found it quite a noisy site, lots of weekend visitors with boot full of beer. Walking distance of Dawlish Warren beach, though it's about 2-3 mile round trip, I think.

Sandy Balls in the Forest, as others have said. My daughter hates holiday parks but agreed it was brilliant for the children when they did a weekend there with friends.

Lots of folk recommending Sandy Balls, historically I would have been one of them.
But I've gotta say, all its facilities are pretty tired these days, it's not what it was and possibly explains the recent change in ownership.
Being polite, the pub's not up to much, I guess that the restaurant is a bit better.
The indoor pool is nice off-season but manic in the school holidays.
Yes, there's plenty of paid activities for the kids, most are far from cheap and many fill up quickly.
Summer holidays will be busy, bordering on unbearable.
Having said that, it's incredibly popular, this is clearly reflected in the high prices charged, so it might just be me

Parkdean ( nodes point on the Isle of Wight) with nice beach within 150 yards.

the campsite (looking from the beach photo ) is the white building up above the coloured beach huts.

In Oct/Nov we stayed on CCC THSs at Brean, near Burnham-on-Sea. Both seemed to have lots of facilities although we're not the sort of folk to use them. Obviously, not "south" coast, but a possible option.

We also stayed at CMC Hillhead (just outside Brixham). All the usual CMC standards (and rules if that worries you) plus clubhouse, pool etc. Bus stop just by the entrance with regular transport options.
CMC Looe also had a pool (closed at that time of the year) but no clubhouse.
Both had reasonable views, although we were fortunate in being able to select from a large number of vacant pitches.
Both of these might be easier to access for limited periods than a commercial site.

A CCC weekend meet at Pentewan Sands (St Austell) allowed me to revisit my "first" campsite: it has excellent beach access and a lovely pool.

CCC Birmingham DA used to do a THS near Padstowe (Harlyn Bay) in August: last year it was £20 per night cf £30 on the "main" site, but you still had access to pool, club, showers etc. We've "turned up" on a couple of occasions and got a pitch without any bother.

How about Crealy Park in Devon. Spent a pleasant week there last year.

Parkdean at West Bay, Bridport
