Devon's Cofton Holidays invests in new super pitches

South Devon’s Cofton Holidays has invested in 48 new super pitches for the staycation boom.

The multi award-winning holiday park has increased the number of super pitches for RVs and caravans from 26 to 74 pitches, almost tripling its offering.

The holiday park experienced a dramatic surge in bookings from guests with caravans and RVs over the peak summer season, hitting a record high for occupancy levels.

The year-round holiday park, named as the UK’s Best Caravan/Campsite at the prestigious iTravel Staycation Awards 2020/21, is situated close to Dawlish Warren’s Blue Flag Beach. Cofton’s new super pitches feature brick paver and gravel bases which protect each pitch from the rain, and include water and waste connections plus 16-amp electric hook-ups.

Helen Scott, Director at Cofton Holidays, said “We are already receiving fantastic feedback from guests who have stayed. For them, the brick paver and gravel combination has made it much easier to set up an awning and outdoor furniture, creating a weatherproof option whatever the weather!”

Helen continued: “In addition to the new pitches we’ve also enhanced our beautiful landscape, rewilding large swathes of the park, introducing new shrubbery, creating wildlife corridors and enhancing biodiversity across the site for insects, birds, bats, butterflies, bees and small mammals.”

The long list of other facilities across the park include a heated indoor pool with a splash pad area and hydrotherapy loungers, a gym, restaurant, pub, shop, steam room, sauna, fitness studio, soft play area, playground, sports wall, outdoor pools and much more. Guests also have access to five coarse fishing lakes, miles of cycle paths and nature trails that take visitors through woodland to the golden sands of Dawlish Warren beach and nature reserve.
