Devon has some of the most dog-minded holiday parks in the country. Several are built around lakes and woodland rather than a beach, with off-lead areas and places for dogs to swim. Clawford Lakes, in the countryside near Holsworthy, has off-lead walks and somewhere for dogs to swim, and dogs stay free. Lakeview Manor has 45 acres, dog play areas and a dipping lake.
If the beach is the point of the trip, North Devon’s parks put you close to Woolacombe, Croyde, Westward Ho! and the coast around Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. In East Devon, parks near Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth look out over the red cliffs of the Jurassic Coast. South Devon has parks near Brixham and Torbay, which suit families who want a town and a harbour nearby.
Parks range from big, lively sites with pools and evening entertainment to small, quiet ones with lodges and hot tubs. Choose the feel that suits you and your dog before you choose the location.
