South Devon, encompassing Torbay and the magnificent South Hams, is widely regarded as Britain's premier holiday area.

It offers a blend of natural beauty safe beaches and popular visitor attractions basking in a climate which makes it the English Riviera.

A Glance at the map and you will quickly see that choosing Galmpton Touring Park pitches you right in the heart of the bay, within walking distance of a frequent bus service linking Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Kingswear (for Dartmouth) or just 5 minutes by car from Broadsands Beach.

We are always on hand to offer the benefit of local knowledge to enable you to get the best out of your stay at Galmpton and we have an extensive range of information on local places of interest for you to browse through.

There really are many and varied things to do and see if you tire of the beaches and traditional seaside activities. Visit the animals at Paignton Zoo, ride on a replica vintage bus to Babbacombe Model Village, take a pony and trap to Old Cockington, a boat trip around the bay, or spend a day Letter Boxing on Dartmoor. Families will particularly enjoy Quay West Water Park and Woodlands Leisure Park, or just sitting by the water crabbing.

Leave the car behind and a short walk will take you to Churston Station, from here you can enjoy a full day out on the "Round Robin". A steam train meanders along the wooded Dart Valley to Kingswear. Board a ferry to Dartmouth and discover the delights of this riverside town, overlooked by the majestic Britannia Royal Naval College, (where Her Majesty the Queen first met HRH Duke of Edinburgh). Then relax as you cruise up the river to historic Totnes, viewing en route the riverside villages of Dittisham and Stoke Gabriel and of course, Galmpton Park the only camping and caravan park with views over the tidal River Dart.

Take in the scenery from an open-top bus to Paignton and finally climb aboard the steam train for the last leg back to Galmpton. Excellent value and a firm favourite with our visitors!

Enjoy a circular walk from the Park through fields & woods with spectacular views over the River Dart & across Torbay. Along the route you can break your journey by visiting Greenway Gardens, recently opened to the public by the National Trust & only about a mile from here. The beautiful woodland garden beside the Dart surrounds Greenway House, former home of Agatha Christie. Indulge in a Devon Cream Tea before walking back, or continue over the river by ferry to the village of Dittisham or down river to Dartmouth. For the more energetic there are miles of local footpaths to explore.
