Josie told Sun Travel: "I've travelled around the world, but look at what we've got here - I've never seen anything as beautiful as the Jurassic Coast."
She continued: "I love going to new places, but I'm happy to go in a caravan. I go to Ladram Bay, Sandymouth in Bude, Tintagel, Newquay.
"The world is amazing, we are so lucky to have that on our doorstep. You get in a motor and it only takes a couple of hours to get to the most beautiful scenery in the world."
Josie has been spotted in Ladram Bay multiple times, and even did a segment on paddleboarding there on This Morning - so it's safe to say she's a fan.
Ladram Bay is an award-winning coastal holiday park in Devon, with its own private beach.
The pebble beach has rockpools for exploring, and is also known for its watersports.
Kayaks, paddleboards and motorboats can all be rented from the holiday park.
Anyone who does fancy a dip in the sea can swap the open waters for a heated indoor swimming pool on-site, complete with slides.
For smaller ones there's a children's play area plus an outdoor splash area with spray guns and an adventure playground pirate ship.
Indoor activities include a soft play centre, a gaming arcade and climbing wall.

As for where to eat, Ladram has three on-site restaurants, Pebbles Restaurant, Coast Takeaway and the Beach Shack.
There are four accommodation options at the Devonshire holiday park, including Ladram Cottage, which was completely refurbished in 2023.
Ladram Cottage offers views over the Jurassic Coast as well as other top-notch facilities like a private hot tub, garden area and sun terrace.
Other accommodation options include Luxury Lodges, Holiday Homes, Glamping Pods and touring pitches.

For the 2025 summer season, Ladram Bay has developed 17 new holiday lodges on-site that are incredibly luxurious with private hot tubs and designed for open plan living.
More children's activities have also been added including a new art studio with a pottery kiln.
And while the children get messy with paint and clay, there's a lounge area for parents to relax in.
Right next door is a brand-new soft play area and an arcade that has air hockey tables and retro arcade games.
For anyone bringing their pooch on holiday, Ladram Bay now has a dog agility area.
For the cheapest stay at Ladram Bay Holiday Park, consider booking a Glamping Getaway from £88 for a 4-night break, or a Holiday Home stay from £180 for a 4-night break.
One of our travel writers reveals the secret areas in Haven holiday parks.
And the five friendliest holiday parks in England – with one even likened to a five-star hotel.
Haven Kent Coast Holiday Park
Formerly Allhallows Leisure Park, Haven Kent Coast Holiday Park has everything needed to entertain the kids on holiday - and celebrities think so too.
In April last year, Stacey Solomon, her husband Joe Swash and children headed to Haven holiday park in Kent. Stacey posted lots of pictures of the family on social media, resulting in fans questioning her holiday choice.
Stacey responded: "There must be some kind of stigma around holiday parks because so many of you messaged saying you couldn’t believe that’s where we’d chosen to go!"
Haven Presthaven Sands, Wales
Stacey Solomon isn't the only one to enjoy a Haven break, Manchester United footballer Harry Maguire has also been spotted at the holiday park.
He opted for the Presthaven Sands site in Wales and in August last year, surprised some holidaygoers in the bingo hall.
The footballer went on a break with his brother, 27-year-old Laurence, and wife, Fern. Guests commented that everyone was "starstruck" by his presence.
Presthaven has everything from multiple swimming pools, go-karting, to crazy golf. On-site are five restaurants including Burger King, Chopstix and Papa Johns.
Butlin's Skegness Resort
No one will forget the moment that Coleen Rooney announced on I'm a Celebrity that she loves a holiday to Butlin's.
The star, who lives in a £20million mansion, confessed that she still loves a break to the seaside holiday park in Lincolnshire with her family. Butlin's says it has non-stop action, and it does.
Every break includes unlimited rides in their fairground, plus the new SKYPARK has lots of climbing towers and slides - including one that's 14-metres high.
At Splash Waterworld there are pools to explore as well as rides, and flumes, as well as the smaller Rockpool Cove for little ones. They also have star acts, and Coleen saw Britain's Got Talent winners, Diversity, in Skegness.
In 2025, Skegness is hosting a show by Stephen Mulhern, The Masked Singer (with a celebrity host), and the stars of Gladiators also take to the stage.
The Warren Resort in Abersoch, Gwynedd
Butlin's isn't the only place Coleen loves to holiday, she's previously rented a chalet in what's known as "millionaire's caravan park."
While technically, a stay at The Warren Resort is a caravan holiday, it's not the standard one. It's considered one of the most exclusive places to take a caravan holiday in the UK, with incredibly luxurious facilities.
The caravans overlook Cardigan Bay and Snowdonia; there's a beachfront restaurant and a deck with sun loungers overlooking the sea.
Other activities include the boat launch, where families can head out onto the Llŷn Peninsula, there's even a helicopter landing pad.
Islawrffordd Caravan Park in North Wales
Former F1 racing driver Nigel Mansell has confessed to loving a holiday in North Wales. In fact, there's one destination he loves to much, he now has a holiday home there.
We're talking about the Islawrffordd Caravan Park, a luxury holiday park in North Wales where Nigel has been a regular visitor since he was four years old.
The park is on the southern side of the Snowdonia National Park coastline, in the village of Talybont, Islawrffordd, and has 201 holiday homes. On-site there's a pool, huge children's climbing frame in the shape of a ship, games arcade and a bowling alley.
