Five Star Holiday Park in Devon
AA Five Star Platinum Pennant. David Bellamy Conservation Gold since 1996. Practical Caravan Best Pet Friendly Site 2026. Two generations of the Franks family — and counting.
Oakdown is a family-run award-winning holiday park in East Devon, close to the Jurassic Coast. Two generations of the Franks family have carefully shaped the park from open Devonshire meadowland into what it is today — always maintaining the highest standards for guests.
No straight lines here. Just gentle curves, spacious landscaped groves, seclusion and peace and quiet. Dogs are genuinely welcome from the moment you arrive.
Recognition we are proud of
