A lovely site with friendly staff and nice added touches like music in the (immaculate) showers, plus a drying room. Possibly quite an exposed site in windy weather but definately one we shall go back to anyway. |

Had a lovely New Year break here in Cornwall. Site 1st class,great new shower block,generous pitches and a friendly welcome. WiFi access a great benefit to us. A great location for St. Austell, Mevagissy, Looe, Eden Project, Plymouth etc. Written directions off this site spot on (don`t trust a satnav!). A "gem" of a find at a competitive price. |

Stayed during the cold start to 2010 - 2 to 3 inches of ice and snow, yet despite this, the owners managed to make the welcome warm and friendly.
Great facilities and the warm and clean toilet block offered a welcome respite from the freezing conditions.
Highly recommended because if they can make -5c bearable then the rest of the year will I'm sure, be great.
Nice location too. 6 or 7 miles west of Plymouth and a few miles north of some beautiful coastline.
Everything you could need and very reasonably priced too.

What a super site! We have been caravanning for the best part of 30 years all over the UK and Europe. This was the first outing in our recently acquired motorhome, health reasons caused us to abandon the caravan.
Without doubt Dolbeare is as good as any site we have ever visited and better than most. The staff are more than helpful in particular Nigel. We had a problem getting the right connection for our digital aerial, tried several places on the way down to no avail. Nigel appeared with the correct bit, attached it to our aerial lead and proceeded to set the new TV up. Thank you Nigel!
We would recommend Dolbeare with no reservations, go and enjoy your visit

This was our second year at Dolbeare and once again the campsite was immaculate. No doubt there will be a third year. Thanks |

Thanks to all at Dolbeare for a lovely week.
A very friendly atmosphere and make to feel ‘part of the family’ – maybe the naughty 14 year old J.
Facilities were always very clean and to a very high standard. Staff are friendly and very useful for local knowledge and advice – as a result recommend the steak night and quiz down the local for example.
A special mention to Nigel who helped us with a flat car battery on our second morning, although watch out for him helping your other half on the giant chess board!
We agree that Satnavs should not to be trusted around Cornwall, and the directions on this website are certainly the best route.
Thanks

Shower facilities clean, bit of a trek for the campers, a separate block would help esp. when the weather is as bad as we had it. Kids had a great time tho. |

Fabulous campsite. Its the best I've ever been to & for my husband and kids first camping trip we couldnt have picked a better site. Unfortunately the weather could've been better and thought we were going to get blown away by hurricane bill!! And thanks Ian for coming to our rescue when the tent pole broke. I would highly recommend this site to anyone great for visiting cornwall & devon and really safe environment for kids to play. The only suggestion I would make is the possibilty of anothr fridge/freezer in the summer house. |

Just had 15nights stay and could have stayed 15 more. The site is excellent and all the facilities are clean and well kept. Our two boys aged 10 and 8 have really enjoyed the football and archery and have made lots of friends. It is ideally situated for exploring cornwall whilst been nice and quite in the evenings when we wanted to relax. We would definatley book again eventhough it is a six hour drive for us to get there. |

We had a lovely holiday and the site is lovely and clean and lots to do in the play area for the kids. The only thing I would suggest is for a proper field for dog walking where they could go for a run.
I would recommend the site and access to the internet was a great help.
Thank you again |

Clean and tidy site with good facilities (shower room/toilets/washing up area). Good location for getting to/from attractions. Bathroom attendant was very friendly and helpful.
Would not agree that the site is dog-friendly. No off-lead area or access around site for dogs, disappointed they weren't welcomed like other places we visited (although when I required emergency details of a local vet I was assisted with great appreciation). On this basis though, I would not return, if I wasn't a dog owner I may reconsider.

Loved this site! Great layout, really tidy with super facilites especially the family shower rooms - the check-in process was welcoming and efficient and there was a lovely welcome BBQ for the new arrivals, my 2 girls loved the play equipment and made lots of 'holiday friends'!- this is a fantastic base for exploring the area - and we had great weather most days to top it all off! We will definitely be back and I have already recommended it to lots of friends! |

Lovely clean family site, convenient for both Devon & Cornwall. Peaceful setting without noisy clubhouse/bars, or swimming pools. Beautiful shower/washing up blocks with free hot water and radio playing during daylight hours.
Would suggest that guests are limited to a certain amount of items for the free freezer as some took advantage and left hardly any room for ice packs. A second shower block in the other field would make the site perfect but I guess you can't have everything! |

Being Camping Club members, we don't normally stay on 'commercial' sites, as we have had bad experiences in the past, but we were very pleasantly surprised!
We had a lovely 12 night stay, and would highly recommend it to anyone. The site was very clean and the staff really approachable and friendly.
I would also like to thank our neighbours (I think it was Janet & Richard!) for their help when Kev needed stitches at the local hospital after banging his head on a window. People are so good when you need help.
Thanks everyone - we'll be back!! |

thanks to all staff on site we visited on 26/6/09 and were amazed how clean and well maintained the camp was, we enjoyed it so much that we booked up again for longer stay.i hope you find away of tent storage very soon i think you will have quite a demand for it once people discover you are doing it. i would like to know how much you would charge if someone was looking to stay with you permanetly on a pitch all year. well thankyou all again see you in a few weeks looking forward to our next visit |

We wanted a relaxing break and that's exactly what we got. The site's very attractive and all the staff are friendly and helpful. The laminated cards describing walks from the site are an excellent idea and perfect for quiet strolls through the lanes. Thanks very much and see you again soon. |

Well, what can we say - what a great campsite! We stayed for 4 nights, camping with electric, for the bargain price of £40 and had a wonderful week.
The facilities are brilliant, the shower blocks were immaculate, with space age shower controls that you don't even need to touch. A fridge-freezer was also a stone's throw away.
We didn't have kids with us (although we are expecting our first!) the space and activities for the little ones seemed to be very good, with giant chess and giant connect 4 and a small adventure playground.
Also, the camping field has a huge amount of space in the centre of the field for ball games etc., so it is ideal for familes.
A great friendly site with helpful staff. Thanks to Nigel for all his tips and advice on where to eat etc. and for making us feel so welcome!
We will be coming to stay again!

All the best

We visited over half term week with our two girls and had a fabulous time. There is lots of space for kids to play and the facilities are very clean and spacious, especially the family shower room. The owners were very kind and friendly, and the information hut was very useful. You must also visit the Bullers Arms just down the road as the food was excellent and very reasonable. On steak night and curry night it was just £5 each! The only suggestion I could make would be that as the site allows people to take dogs, it would have been nice for us none dog owners not to have them in tents either side of us as we did get woken on several mornings by barking. Lovely site and to be recommended though. |

Had a great time during the last week in May 09.Our young kids really enjoyed the nature hut,games and free run of the park.Good idea to limit ,within reason,the playground to help noise levels early and late at night.Nice services from reception and met loads of good people camping and caravaning.Great pub down the road.One of the few real traditional family pubs left.We will be back at the site but hope the prices don't shoot up due to the new facilities. |

Janet & I would like to thank the owners & stewards of this first class site for the wonderful holiday we have just had. The site itself is a credit to all who work there and you all made us feel so welcome, that’s why we stayed longer because we loved the way you have planed out the grounds.
We can see why you have the awards for Dolbeare Park I think the upgrade to the toilet block is first class and we could recommend the site to anyone, we did bring a few of your leaflets home with us and they will be handed round to our friends so we would like to wish you and all your staff good luck for the future, and may many campers like us keep enjoying your wonderful site.

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at your site - everybody at the site was very friendly and very helpful
The Amenities were outstandingy clean and although under refurbishment the finished areas are superb. It has great shower facilities for families with young children and a wonderful play area for the more adventurous little people(and adults - even I had a go!)
So, with thanks to the staff, you will definately see us again in the very near future. |
