The right Devon holiday park depends on three things: what you sleep in, what the park gives you on site, and how far the sea is. A lodge or chalet suits a family that wants space and a hot tub. A static caravan is the simpler option. A pod suits two adults who will walk to a shower block. Facilities are often seasonal and sometimes extra, so read each stay before you rely on a pool.
Brixham: Landscove, Riviera Bay and Fishcombe
Brixham has the most park choice. We list 23 stays at Landscove Holiday Park, mostly chalets and caravans, and 14 of them take dogs. Its sister park, Riviera Bay Coastal Retreat, has 17 lodges, nine of them dog-friendly, and the two parks are 0.8 miles apart.
Chalet 15 at Landscove sleeps four, takes two dogs and has a children’s play area on site, with steps up to the door. The beach is 0.3 miles away down about 120 steep steps.

Final checks before you book
Use each property page to narrow the choice, then confirm dates, price, access and any critical facility on the booking site it links to, which handles the booking and payment. Our links may earn a commission when you book.
On a holiday park, ask what is open on your dates, because pools, bars and restaurants are often seasonal. Check whether WiFi, pool passes or entertainment passes cost extra, what the minimum stay and changeover day are, and how far the car park is from the unit. For dogs, check the limit and the per-dog charge.
