As the Easter school break approaches, followed by the May half-term, many parents are seeking affordable staycation options to entertain their children. In Devon, a campsite offers pitches starting from just £38.50 per night for two people, providing access to various amenities included in the price. Staying for over two nights on any camping pitch grants complimentary entry to Woodlands Family Theme Park, the largest theme park in Devon.
Located in Blackawton village, a short drive from Totnes and near Dartmoor National Park, Woodlands Caravan & Camping is nestled amidst lush greenery and trees, offering scenic countryside walks nearby. Accommodation options range from bringing your own tent with non-electric or electric pitches to parking campervans or caravans on-site. Additionally, there are cozy glamping pods accommodating up to six guests, blending camping adventure with comfortable bedding.
Facilities at the campsite include a shop, free showers, and a weekend takeaway service during peak dates. Guests can enjoy a games room with arcades and other entertainment options on-site, but the main highlight is the proximity to Woodlands Family Theme Park, just a short walk away.
Woodlands Family Theme Park, adjacent to the campsite, features both indoor and outdoor attractions, with themed zones like the Action Zone and Ninja Zone offering rides for all age groups. With day tickets priced at £23 during peak season, camping at the site and visiting multiple times can lead to significant savings.
The park boasts thrilling rides such as the Sea Dragon Swing Ship and Vertigo, along with indoor attractions like the Trauma Tower. Children can explore various play zones and soft play areas, including the Toddlers Village with a summer paddling pool.
In addition to the amusement park, Woodlands has its own zoo and farm where guests can interact with farm animals, exotic reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. The Falconry Centre showcases magnificent birds of prey up close, with falconry displays held during summer months for a captivating experience.
Special events like the upcoming Egg-Stravaganza, scheduled for the Easter school holidays, will feature activities such as the Spring Hunt, Easter crafts, and character appearances.
