On 22 July 2008 Dolbeare Park was awarded the prestigous Green Tourist Business Scheme Gold level.

The Green Tourist Business Scheme is the leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK, the largest to operate globally and currently the only green accreditation scheme recognised by Visit Britain.

Being situated adjacent to agricultural land and in An Area of Great Landscape Value in South East Cornwall, Dolbeare Park is in a fantastic location for exploring the wildlife of our beautiful surrounding area. Centrally placed between the beauty and the wildness of Dartmoor to our east, Bodmin Moor to our west and the unspoilt area of the Rame Peninsula with its superb cliffs and beaches to our south.

Five ways to be the best sort of visitor! Small Steps – Big Impact!

Welcome to Dolbeare Park! Wherever we go and whatever we do, we have some impact on the environment and community. By making positive choices during your visit, you can help to look after Cornwall and this special area ensuring that it retains everything that is special about it for your next visit. You can have an impact right here at Dolbeare Park.

Dolbeare Park is situated in an Area Of Great Landscape Value. We are committed to providing a high quality caravan and camping park to customers, our local community and our employees.

We believe it is imperative that we take all reasonable measures to preserve and maintain the immediate and wider environment for the prosperity and enjoyment of future generations and to ensure the continuing success of Dolbeare Park.

We will operate in compliance with all relevant environmental legislation and we will endeavour to use pollution prevention and environmentally best practices in all that we do.

Dolbeare Park is continually looking for innovative ways to implement our Environmental Policy. When making any changes to the park, we endeavour to ensure a positive environmental impact and a neutral or negative change to our carbon footprint.

We are currently refurbishing our amenity block, our plans are to make it more modern, bright, easy to maintain, easy to keep clean and to be as efficient and cost effective as possible. We are fitting LED lighting and flow control valves to all of our taps and showers to ensure that the additional showers and sinks will result in less water consumption. We are currently investigating the use of rainwater for toilet flushing. Our hot water is provided by on demand boilers, so no tanks of wasted hot water but there is always plenty of hot water available.

Our plan for 2009 is to encourage more of our guests to compost their vegetables in our compost bins. This will help us to improve our own composting since we have a greater amount of grass cuttings and therefore the balance of raw matter needs improving.

Our 2009 plans are to grow more of our own organic vegetables which can be sold in our shop.
