Woodlands Grove Caravan & Camping Park is a 5 star touring and camping park set in rolling countryside near Blackawton, a short drive from the waterside town of Dartmouth in South Devon. The park sits on terraced pitches with wide views across the surrounding farmland, roughly five miles inland from Dartmouth and its harbour, with the beaches and coves of Start Bay within easy reach. Pitches suit tents, caravans and motorhomes, and there are new glamping pods sleeping up to six for anyone who wants a stay without the kit. The headline draw is the setting alongside Woodlands Family Theme Park: guests staying two nights or more get free entry throughout their trip, with playzones, a falconry centre and a zoo farm on the doorstep, so it leans firmly towards families with children. Adults after a quiet break can book discounted five night midweek stays outside the school holidays, though the park does not run as an adults only site. Beyond the theme park link there is a well stocked general store, an evening takeaway and secure caravan storage. Dogs are welcome, with dedicated amenities. The park opens from late March to early November 2026, and pitches are booked through the Woodlands booking system.
Yes, dogs are welcome across the touring and camping park and there are dedicated dog amenities on site. The nearby South Devon lanes, beaches and coast path give plenty of walking, though dogs must be kept under control around the pitches and the busy family areas.
Do campers get free entry to Woodlands Family Theme Park?

When is Woodlands Grove open?
The caravan and camping park opens from late March to early November 2026. Minimum stays are usually two nights, rising to three nights over the Whitsun half term and the school summer holidays on the terraced pitches, with two night stays still possible on the informal area.
Does Woodlands Grove have glamping?

Is Woodlands Grove suitable for adults wanting a quiet break?

How far is Woodlands Grove from Dartmouth and the beach?
The park is around five miles from Dartmouth and its harbour, with the beaches and coves of Start Bay, including Blackpool Sands, a short drive away. Slapton and the wider South Hams coast are also within easy reach for days by the sea.
