You'll get all that and more at Beverley Park in Paignton, Devon, where there are plenty of caravan and tent pitches still available for summer stays.
And one of the highlights of this holiday park is the views across the incredible Broadsands Beach in Torbay.
There's also plenty to do for both adults and kids, including splashing about in the two heated outdoor swimming pools.
For those who fancy a little pampering, the on-site spa has a sauna, steam room and hot tub, you can also catch a show at the Starlight Bar.
Other activities include the outdoor adventure playgrounds, kids' clubs, paddling pools, soft play, family amusements and an indoor playroom.
There's also a Jetty Restaurant, the Catch Takeaway, Saltwater Kitchen and Terrace and Boulevard Café, where visitors can enjoy the seaside staple, fish and chips, and have a drink.
You'll find the campsite overlooking the incredible Broadsands Beach in Torbay, which is a favourite spot of Travel Reporter Cyann Fielding.
She said: "I might be biased as this beach was a huge part of my childhood, but Broadsands Beach is a hidden gem.
"At both ends of the beach, there are numerous rocks to explore and then the beach itself is made of the typical red sand found in Devon - due to the soil in the area."

Cyann continued: "A long stretching promenade runs alongside the beach and there are a few places to grab a bite to eat or a coffee.
"Whilst on occasions a lot of seaweed does wash up on the beach, Broadsands does have a blue flag."
The campsite is unsurprisingly a popular spot, one visitor wrote in their review: "The views are absolutely stunning, friendly staff, brilliant heated pool, entertainment also really good! Such a lovely friendly family place!"
Another added: "Plenty of things to do enjoyed bingo and family entertainment.
"The food at the jetty was excellent including the carvery. And the view across the bay is amazing."
There's still space this summer for a tent pitch, a family of four can stay for two nights between 26-28 August 2025.
With two infants (children under four) this will cost £12 per person per night.
With children over four this works out at £14.50 per person per night.

Paignton Beach is known for its pink sand beach

Along the coast, and just seven minutes away in the car, is the town of Paignton.
It's best known for having a pink sand beach, which is caused by iron minerals in the sand oxidising in the air.
Nearby, there's also Splashdown Quay West, which is the UK's largest outdoor water park.
Soon, Paignton will have a new look as plans are underway to transform the seafront.
As part of a £14million scheme two seafronts in the Devonshire beach town, Paignton and Preston Sands will be upgraded to improve sea defences.
The seafront at Paignton will get new seating terraces, and the shelters, kiosks and cafes will be relocated as part of the overhaul.
A new entrance on South Green will give vehicles access to the seafront, although no traffic will be allowed onto the promenade.
Check out the ultimate staycation destination in Devon which has two beach-fringed coasts, stargazing parks and picturesque seaside villages.
