Golden Coast Holiday Park is a family holiday and leisure park at Woolacombe on the North Devon coast, now owned and run by Vale Holiday Parks after a change of ownership announced in late 2025. The park sits about two miles inland from Woolacombe's long, three-mile sandy beach, one of the best surf beaches in North Devon, with a bus link to the sands in the main season. Its real selling point is the on-site fun: four heated pools, a Wave Surf Rider, a high ropes course, bowling, a ceramic painting cafe, an arcade and the Old Mill pub, much of it also open to non-residents. Alongside caravans and lodges to hire, Golden Coast has long had touring and camping pitches, making it an option for tourers who want big-park facilities on the doorstep. This is a lively, entertainment-led park rather than a quiet campsite, which suits families and surfers more than anyone seeking calm. Vale reopened Golden Coast for the 2026 season and aims to run it year-round for the local community around Woolacombe. Pitch and holiday prices are quoted through Vale Holiday Parks' booking system, so it is worth checking current rates and deposit terms when you book.
Golden Coast is now owned by Vale Holiday Parks, a family-run company with parks across Wales and the South West, which took over the Woolacombe park in a deal announced in late 2025. Vale reopened Golden Coast for the 2026 season and has said it plans to invest in the park.
Is Golden Coast Holiday Park near Woolacombe beach?

What activities are there at Golden Coast?
