Good Points: Well I guess it was well priced considering! The (real) chicken was the highlight of the touring park, I enjoyed his company and he was always on site to answer any concerns.
Bad Points: Dated and basic.
General comments: Although we were aware that the facilities at Paignton, Devon, Byslades, were due to be updated in the future and we could use the sister parks pool etc (I think it should be free to Byslades customers due to the poor facilities), we felt there were certain temporary improvements which could have been made. Hard standings were very poor on most of the park, it was a wet week which resulted in red mud getting on to your shoes etc etc, had there had been proper hardstanding then this would have improved the situation. The toilets were shut for a couple of hours for cleaning but really needed regular cleaning in my view for shorter periods throughout the day. I think the showers would benefit from having something to step on instead of getting wet feet while you are trying to dry yourself, also better storage / shelves for your items whilst you are taking a shower.

Only booked Byslades camp site for the facilities, but on booking we were told the pool would be closed. We found out everything else was closed when we paid and received confirmation, which I think is very wrong and cheeky, never going back again.

There are so many faults, no swimming pool, no clubhouse, need I say more. Pulled into this site expecting so much after driving hours and hours only to be told there's no swimming pool or clubhouse anymore. I would not recommend that you book as very poor....this probably wont get published. There are much nicer and cleaner sites (wide-end) that we have stayed at and enjoyed.

After booking 4 pitches I then found out that the pool shop club was shut. I then cancelled with the promise of the deposit returned - still not arrived back.

When we booked, we knew that the pool and the club would be shut, but we were happy to use the Blagdon Inn a couple of nights for a convenient bite to eat and a drink. The Leisure Centre next door is immaculate and we enjoyed an afternoon swim with the kids when it was raining for £6. Considering how cheap the pitch was, we thought this was great value for money. Going again in August!

Nice area. Showers etc are all clean. When we booked we were told that the pool was closed but there was no mention of the other facilities including the shop being closed until we arrived. This wasn't a problem for us but the price is a bit high when there are only showers and pitch. Had a great stay and would go again. Everyone was very friendly and it was an enjoyable stay.

Went to Byslades last year when all the rain came down but still had a good time the owners were friendly.
However rang to book this year and the site has been sold to the Haulfryn Group who own the caravan park next door. All the facilities on the site have been closed down except the pitches and showers.

Just got back from 10 days on the Byslades campsite in Paignton, Devon, and I have to qualify my comments by saying that we had dreadful weather, and the traffic in either direction outside the site, if you wanted to go anywhere, was terrible. Neither of these were the responsibility of the site, but it's affected the overall quality of our break nonetheless.
We also had problems with two sets of neighbours, neither of which were dealt with adequately by the staff.

We have been here for our main holiday for the last 3 years and always stay for a fortnight and are going again this year from 21st August for 2 weeks. My son and daughter in law along with our grand daughter are taking their first visit there at the beginning of August on our recommendation. We are sure they will enjoy their stay as we always do!

The Byslides camp site included terraced pitches providing beautiful views of the countryside. A warm friendly site, with plenty of clean facilities, play areas, heated pool and rolling fields for the children to play. A small shop and cafe run by a friendly couple. The club house (not smoky or loud) was inviting and welcomed the children of all ages, with a separate games area to supervise. Great access to local coasts, towns and attractions. I would recommend the Paignton to Dartmouth Stea ...
