Dolbeare Park News

We are all looking forward to the 'real' summer which arrives at the end of this week and when the adventure begins!  Rolls on school summer holidays...

Here at Dolbeare Park, we want all of our guests to relax, refresh and revive and to help them along the way, we have organised a few evenings during the week being BBQ's on Tuesday's, Archery on Saturday's and Fun footy on Sunday's for children aged between 5 and 13.

There is absolutely heaps to do in the area, with Plymouth having the majority of daily festivals and the fantastic National Firework Championships in August - and more importantly its free!  A great place to watch is from the Hoe but you need to get there early as its a very popular occasion.  A great place to take a picnic!

Alice in Wonderland was filmed at Antony (NT) last year, less than 20 minutes from here.  There are many events over the summer including Madhatters Tea Parties!

We look forward to welcoming you to Dolbeare Park and below you can find just a few things that have kept us busy during the past year....

We were absolutely delighted to achieve the 'Gold' Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme Award in June 2010. This is the second time of achieving this award and it is so good to see that our work improving our impact on sustainable tourism is being recognised.

In April, we were pleased to welcome the Devon & Cornwall Caravan Club back for another rally and the weekend was absolutely perfect - both weather and entertainment couldn't have been improved upon. The entertainment was truly top knotch - even if it was a little chilly in the marquee!

During February, we were at the National Caravan and Camping Show at the NEC as part of Cornwall's Finest and also on the Best of British stand on the Thursday. It was lovely to meet so many people who recognised us and it was unfortunate that at times we really struggled to put names to faces - and for that, we hope that we will be forgiven..... we look forward to seeing you again next year.

Whilst at the NEC in February, we were again in the Practical Caravan's Top 100 Award and this year we came in at 12th! So thank you all who voted for us, this award is important because its our guests who vote for us and for that we are incredibly grateful and delighted that you like our park so much. We will be doing it again next year, so if you think we are worth it, please vote for us again - thank you!

Winter was chilly pretty much all over the UK and in Cornwall we probably got away with it extremely lightly. There were a few brave campers who decided to ventura to the warmer south west... days were crisp and sunny, a great time to be out walking along the coastal paths.
