Widend Touring Park is a family run touring and camping park at Marldon, just outside Paignton in South Devon. It sits about three miles inland from the beaches of Torbay and the English Riviera, with the foothills of Dartmoor rising behind and panoramic countryside views across the site. Pitches from £17 a night cover touring caravans, motorhomes and tents, with electric hook up available as an extra, and there are seasonal pitches and static caravan hire for longer stays. The park is landscaped like a garden, with shrubs and hedges giving shelter and privacy, and the shower and toilet blocks are kept spotless. It suits families and couples who want a neat, quiet base near Torbay rather than a large resort with nightclubs and arcades. One thing to plan around is dogs, which are not accepted in high season except on seasonal pitches, so check the dates before booking. Widend Touring Park is open from Easter to the end of September, and you can book through the park website or by phone in Marldon.
On the 2025 tariff, pitches start from £17 a night in low season for two people with a car and a tent, caravan or motorhome. Electric hook up is an added extra, and there are small charges for awnings, extra adults, children and dogs.
Is Widend Touring Park open all year?
No, Widend Touring Park is a seasonal site open from Easter until the end of September. It is a landscaped garden style park near Paignton, so it works best as a spring, summer and early autumn base rather than a winter touring stop.
Are dogs allowed at Widend Touring Park?
No, dogs are not accepted during high season at Widend, except for guests on seasonal pitches. In low and mid season dogs are welcome for a small nightly charge, but certain breeds on the banned list are not permitted at any time.
Does Widend accept tents and motorhomes?
Yes, Widend Touring Park takes tents, touring caravans and motorhomes, and there are seasonal pitches and static caravans for hire as well. The tariff charges the same base rate for a tent, caravan or motorhome pitch for two people with one car.
How far is Widend from the beach?
Widend sits about three miles inland from the beaches of Torbay and the English Riviera, near Marldon and Paignton in South Devon. The foothills of Dartmoor rise behind the park, so you have both the coast and the moor within easy reach.
