As the Easter school break approaches and the May half-term follows shortly after, many parents are seeking budget-friendly staycation ideas to entertain their children.
Located in Devon, there is a campsite offering pitches starting at just £38.50 per night for two people, providing access to various facilities at no extra cost. Moreover, guests staying for over two nights on any camping or touring pitch receive complimentary entry to Woodlands Family Theme Park, the largest theme park in Devon.
Situated in the village of Blackawton, a short drive from Totnes and near Dartmoor National Park, Woodlands Caravan & Camping is enveloped by lush greenery and trees, offering picturesque countryside walks nearby. Blackpool Sands, named England’s top beach by Condé Nast Traveller in 2024, is less than 15 minutes away.
The campsite provides various accommodation options, from non-electric and electric pitches for tents to spots for campervans and caravans. Additionally, there are glamping pods available, accommodating up to six individuals, combining the camping experience with the comfort of a real bed at the end of the day.
Facilities at the site include a shop, free showers, and a weekend takeaway service during peak periods. Furthermore, guests can enjoy a games room with arcades and more on-site, but the main highlight lies just a brief stroll away.
Adjacent to the campsite is Woodlands Family Theme Park, offering a mix of indoor and outdoor activities. Featuring distinct themed zones like the Action Zone and Ninja Zone, each zone boasts a variety of rides suitable for all age groups. With peak season day tickets priced at £23, camping and multiple park visits could result in substantial savings.
Among the thrilling rides are the Sea Dragon Swing Ship and Vertigo, a spinning drop ride providing panoramic park views. Indoor attractions like the Trauma Tower cater to year-round entertainment. The park also includes play zones, soft play areas, and a Toddlers Village with a summer paddling pool for younger guests.
Woodlands boasts its zoo and farm where visitors can interact with various animals, including farm creatures, exotic reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. The Falconry Centre showcases magnificent birds of prey up close, with falconry displays available during summer.
The park organizes seasonal events like the upcoming Egg-Stravaganza for Easter, featuring a Spring Hunt, Easter crafts, and character appearances during the school holidays.
