Just spent may half term at Parkers Farm, we felt it was the best site we've stayed at in England.
The pitches are all a good size & mostly flat. They are terraced: we were on row E which gave great views over to Dartmoor.
The toilets, showers & washing up facilities were immaculate. There was hardly any waiting for the showers & the hot water was in plentiful supply.
Our son is 14 so the playgrounds were not used by him but there are plenty of play areas around the site.
It is a working farm, with plenty of animals around and the farm walks & tractor rides attracted lots of younger children.
The dog walk was great, allowing our friends dog plenty of space to run off the lead. One room in the bar allows dogs in. The bar itself was very pleasant, thou' we didn't sample the bar meals.
There are plenty of things to see & do in the area. Ashburton is the nearest village: we walked from the site in about 45 minutes & rewarded ourselves with a superb cream tea at the Green Ginger Cafe. Lots of other small shops there to browse in.
Weather was beautiful & we had a great holiday. We would definitely return

Should have done this ages ago-but--- lovely site, we've been there several times now, and will go again this year (2010). Tricky approach, easy to get the wrong turning, or overshoot, though either isnt a problem when you know the area!
Small shop with basics, nice staff, always friendly and helpful. Swipecard entry barrier, tight turns on site 'roads'. Lovely facilities, one block slightly newer than the other. We've stuck to the same areas of ehu pitches, which may not be as big as some sites, but they are flat, and many are in little cul-de-sac corners- nice and cosy!
There is a non ehu tent only field which is sloping in places, but very roomy, as not regimented pitches.
The on site bar is lovely- good food reasonable prices, with a separate 'kids room' and even a restaurant area where the four legged campers are allowed- lovely touch! though we havent taken our pooch yet. Theres a games room under the bar, with pool tables and a selection of noisy arcade games for the older kids. Outside is a basic play area with trampolines etc.
All in all, a lovely site, not too far from the Torbay area, with 'Trago' just up the road, and Dartmoor close by too. Recommend a good satnav however, as when we last visited- Easter 09, there was a nasty accident on the A38 which was then shut, effectively cutting us off from the outside world- we did get out by following our nose up the lanes, but took us 2 hrs to take what would normally be a 6 mile journey.

Stayed for 10 days in July and had a excellent holiday. We were very surprised that the site was not busier but when we asked we were told that they do get very busy in August.
Facilities excellent, toilets/showers always clean, bar facilities excellent, food excellent and good prices. Childrens indoor play area was excellent, our 3 year old asked to go to the pub every night so she could play with the other children.
Site is well located to visit all the local attractions, Paignton Zoo is a must, Babbacombe Model Village excellent - most attractions with 25 minutes so it is an ideal base to see the area.
Well set up for children, with several outdoor play area, indoor play areas, feeding the animals, farm walks, we were told that in August there are tractor rides but we were there too early to take advantage of these.
All in all an excellent site, we are booking up for next year and taking the parents with us.

We have just had 6 days on this site. This was the first time we have used a caravan and we found the park to be family friendly, very helpful owners, staff and fellow guests.
The super pitch was great, at the top of the site and looking over the rest of the site and the view of Dartmoor.
The site was spotlessly clean; the lower toilet block is new, the top one is clean and spotless. There is an area for washing, charging mobiles, recycling points, chemical toilet and family rooms all in one central point. The bins were emptied on a regular basis all day and were convenient each time you went the loo!
The park provides many areas for kids, lots of trampolines everywhere. A large play area is at the front of the site next to the restaurant/club and this was used until late evening but not near any pitches so was not disturbing anyone. There are farms walks – great to see pigs and sheep go past your caravan window with lots of people!
The restaurant food was very good, huge portions and not expensive or just chips, chips and more chips! The entertainment was very good catering for all tastes and not too late into the night.
Dog owners this is a paradise – two large open field (sloping) for the dogs to run round in – swallows in the top field were a delight to my jack Russell puppies! Plenty of poo bins around the site for any mishaps! There is also a room in the restaurant where you can take the dogs – and still be able to participate in the entertainment.
We visited the river dart great for teenagers as there is high ropes (like Go Ape) zip wires etc – there are areas for young children too with all activities in the lake – get the wetsuits out !
We also went horse riding on Dartmoor – this was a life achievement and well worth the £30 each for the 2 hours - It was in torrential rain but the views and air was to die for!
I give 10/10 for this site and would go back again!

Visited this site for just one night but wished we could have stayed longer. We were in the J field which was just for a few tents (with EHU) and surrounded by hedges so although the site is pretty big, we still felt quite secluded. The pitch we had was level and had no problems with water logging even though there has been a lot of rain recently.
The site has excellent facilities on site for children - our two daughters had great fun in the play area for ages and then absolutely loved the 'Farm Walk & Tractor ride' which was even more amazing as it was all completely free they even got a free range egg for free which came in useful for breakfast!
We didn't eat in the on-site restaurant but the prices and selection on offer looked good. We did have a drink whilst the girls played in the very useful family room which was massive and had loads of toys to keep them happy.
The toilet block was very clean and the showers were hot - never had to queue as there are lots of blocks scattered around.
The only slight downside was the close proximity of the A38 - the noise isn't actually that bad but it didn't feel very 'Dartmoory' if that is what you are after. Two Bridges and Princetown are only about 20 mins away though so its a good base.
Would thoroughly recommend the site and we hope to go back there again.

Just back from this site and would definitely recommend it. Lovely terraced site with large, private pitches. Clean toilets and showers - whatever time of day we used the facilities they were clean. Great play areas for the children and friendly bar/restaurant with reasonably priced meals and drinks. Activities for the children on most days as well.
The staff were all helpful and were always around the site if you needed any assistance. Some road noise but not enough to disturb us. Several attractions in the area for families and about half an hour to the coast.
