As a kid we used to go to Easewell farm, Mortehoe, near Woolacombe, great site with great beaches nearby, I'm pretty sure it's still going, at least it was 10 years ago!
There is a place called Twitchen at Morthoe near Woolacombe in Devon which used to have an assortment of static caravans, touring caravans and campers. Not been down there for many years though.
Two in Ilfracombe...thats a beautiful coastal small town.
Watermouth and Little Meadow
Lots of fun days for the kids, Big Sheep and Milky Way if they like animals. Braunton Borrows is good for walks, same with Exmoor and Dartmoor. Dartington Crystal tour is also good fun. All the activities are a bit more educational and wholesome than a typical theme park but still fun.
there is some great point to point horse racing in the area, not for the gambling more that kids are usually fascinated by the spectacle.
Woolacombe is also lovely. I much prefer N devon to the south coast.
I can't specifically help on Devon but Uk Campsites, cool camping and pitchup.com are good for reviews and giving you an idea. Have got a campervan but yet to get down to Devon and Cornwall as yet. Very much on the list of places to visit
But in some 40 years of camping, I have found the coastal sites to be dirty, overpriced and chavvy. By going just a few miles inland you will find some beauties, but it all depends upon what you like.
P.S North Devon has stunning scenery but it can get very cold, very wet and very windy. When that has happened we have always moved onto Dorzett but now we just spend our time in Southern France :-)
I am in a static caravan near Ashburton at the moment. Seems nice but my first time. Midway between coast and moors, Plymouth and Exeter so lots of different days out if a week on the beach is not your thing. It's called Parkers and is good value.

Totnes is brilliant, we loved the place, all arty creative weirdy and homely. You are very fortunate to live there IMO, people talk to each other and smile!!!!

Ah you are pretty close to me, I live in totnes
We are thinking of moving to Ashburton or Buckfastleigh so are here doing a bit of exploring. Any tips/advice?
If you want somewhere with a bit of everything, we enjoyed Devon Cliffs in Exmouth. It's a Haven, but I thought it was very good value and a lot for the kids to do.
Avoid Dawlish Warren area, very tired looking seaside scene
Be good to see the responses to this we are looking to do the same but in a camper can
Did a Devon and Cornwall tour in an old VW van 4 years ago. All going well until Mrs came across a dodgy prawn at Rick Stein's - sink never worked again.
Campsites needed booking during the peak holiday season.
