Widend Touring Park is a peaceful and spacious site located just outside Paignton in the heart of South Devon. Surrounded by rolling hills and country lanes, it’s a favourite with families who want a more relaxed pace while still being within easy reach of South Devon’s beaches — and just a 30-minute drive to Pennywell Farm, one of the most enchanting family attractions in the county.
The park offers a mix of hardstanding and grass touring pitches, with electric hook-up available, as well as seasonal pitches and storage. Facilities are clean and well maintained, including heated toilet and shower blocks, a launderette, a children’s play area, and an on-site shop. There’s also a clubhouse open during peak season, offering evening entertainment and a friendly place to relax.
Families with young children appreciate the wide open spaces, friendly atmosphere, and car-free zones, making it safe for little ones to play. Dogs are welcome, and there are dog walking areas on site, plus many footpaths nearby.
Widend’s location makes it an ideal base for visiting Pennywell Farm, just a short drive inland. At Pennywell, children can cuddle piglets, take tractor rides, feed goats, and enjoy hands-on farm shows. It’s a must-do for families staying in the area — and the slower pace back at the park gives everyone space to unwind after an exciting day.
Widend Touring Park offers families a back-to-basics Devon experience, without sacrificing cleanliness, comfort, or convenience — and it’s a place many return to year after year.
