Reviewer: Meoldcocker 7 reviews from this member

 From the moment Mark put our van on our Premier pitch for us to the moment he towed it off our pitch after 2 wonderful weeks, our whole experience was brilliant

Fantastic pristine facilities, incredible facilities for our dogs and owners who know exactly what caravanners want. There is little need to say any more. Other people have already said it. Excellent in every way.

 Just back from a week stay at ross park and from the pulling up up at reception to book to leaving it was fantastic. The site itself is just beautiful good size pitches very well kept.

The showers are just massive with thermostatic shower with NO push in button just endless hot water, the shower cubicles also have toilet, sink and shaving mirror in them.

The tropical conservatory is like walking into a different word with its grape vines and banana trees plus more flowers the shop is well stocked with more things you`d need and all the staff are brilliant and will got out there way to help you out.

We will definitely be returning soon

 Fantastic site and a real credit to the owners who work very hard to keep it clean and tidy. The pitches and pathways are well thought out, enabling all to enjoy the facilities without impinging on others privacy.

The off lead dog walk is huge with poo bags provided, boot cleaners at the entrance and a dog shower should you need it. There are two on lead walks also, with some lovely views of the surrounding area.

The restaurant and bar on site were popular although we didn't eat in there during our 3 night visit. We did walk into Ipplepen along the country roads out of the site (no paths and narrow roads) - about 15 minute walk to find a fairly large co-op store and a lovely pub for a refreshing drink in the large beer garden.

Reviewer: Mabbs1998 7 reviews from this member

 Well this site is just the best in so many ways. On arrival you unhitch and they deliver your van to the pitch you just follow. That’s service.

All the staff are lovely and welcoming and such hard workers to keep everything perfect.

Pitches are great with hedges all around you. The enclosed dog field is like a stately garden and provide bags and dog shower.

Restaurant meals or they cook it and you can take back on the plate to your van. Games room and table tennis and snooker.

Certainly will be going back.

Reviewer: Sky202 1 review from this member

 Having recently got back from our two week stay at Ross Park, I just wanted to say what an amazing job Mark, Helen and the staff have done in making our holiday so fantastic.

With children aged 5 and 12, we often find it hard to find sites that provide entertainment and facilities to suit both ages. However, Ross Park exceeded our expectations and is a very family friendly and safe site with plenty of facilities for children.

It was lovely for the children to have so much space to play games on the leisure field and play in the children's play area. The undercover games area and games room meant we could spend family evenings playing table tennis etc. Whatever the weather. In particular, the children loved the Nature Hunt and it provided a great opportunity for us to explore the beautiful park and conservation area too.

Having the restaurant and shop on site meant our stay was stress free as we could just book into the restaurant or order a takeaway if we did not fancy cooking. The food was delicious and the service cannot be faulted. We particularly enjoyed the bingo evenings, which seemed to be very popular entertainment on site and it was a great way to bring families together.

We will definitely be coming back to Ross Park for our next family holiday!

 Stayed for a week. Pitches were well kept and they keep them clean & tidy, however a little small to what we like. When we arrived Caravan was put on pitch for us and we found all staff really friendly & helpful.

Great dog shower and walk with free dog poo bags. Overall a good site and friendly but pitches a bit small.

Toilets were well kept & always clean. While we were there, at peak plenty of kids, Not sure I would bring kids here as not a lot for them to do.

 THE BEST PLACE EVER ! OUTSTANDING !

Been to few camping sites before but this place was the best. Clean, lovely set out, friendly staff. It seems like they thought about everything. Showers fantastic, very dog friendly place.

In our opinion if you going to see Devon we definitely highly recommend. Best regards to all staff.

Reviewer: Reworht 10 reviews from this member

 Simply superb!Having spent over 30 years on sites in tents, trailer tents and caravans, this has to be the best site we've ever stayed on.

From the minute we arrived (in a torrential downpour) and had the 'van sited for us by the staff using a small tractor, through the immaculately kept flower beds, walkways, to the VERY best loos, showers and washrooms - the only downside was having to leave when our time was up. Super views of Dartmoor, easy access to Newton Abbott for topping up the larder, loads of local attractions (Paignton Zoo definitely worth a visit).

Dog lovers are brilliantly looked after, with acres of walking space and even a doggie shower!.

Can't praise the management and staff enough - we WILL be back!

Reviewer: Judipearce 24 reviews from this member

 We had problems booking but owner was so helpful and got us a cancellation. All that has been written about this site is true a really fabulous site. Very very well kept (as soon as any one left pitch raked and grass mowed). They were constantly busy putting flower baskets around and cleaning.

The staff are superb really friendly and helpful and never had such good facilities. They are obviously proud of the site. No washing lines so pack your window airers or use their super laundry. £5 to wash and dry a full load in about an hour, then free iron to use.

Free hairdryers and free dog bags brilliant. On the 2nd Wednesday we went to the conservatory for coffee and cakes all free for charity donation and chatted to other campers.

Everything about this site is excellent from being met by little tractor to site your van for you to the newspapers laid out ready for you each morning. No complaints at all. If I were to comment would be to suggest more WCs with handles or grab bars as lots of us used sticks.

One last point BOOK EARLY it's worth it.

Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 Interesting that last review we too have noticed the full up sign on arrival and noticed a few vacant pitches, curious? This is our third time here so what more can be said about this immaculate in every way site and we are 60+ by the way but don't advertise it.

So will only add a couple of points not mentioned recently. The bar/restaurant was shut during our visit so we walked to the Wellington in Ipplepen village(about 20mins) which does food after 6. 30 and serves Otter beer straight out the barrel.

There is an hourly or so bus service at the bottom of the approach road to either Totnes or Newton Abbot but buses peter out after 6. 30. Paid about £18/night for a hard standing pitch with own drain and water which I consider very reasonable for a site of this high calibre.

 Well first the Positives!

The pitches and campsite are both extremely well maintained, the toilets immaculate and lovely showers.

Now the Negatives

Although the site was spotless we felt that we weren't wanted here, very awkward feeling, called to book a week in advance and told it was full, friends were on site and asked if we could join them and then there was a pitch, in fact on arrival over 35% of the campsite was empty pitches and a sign at the entrance said no vacancies campsite full - joke.

We went to the restaurant for Sunday Lunch before leaving - wasn't allowed to sit in the conservatory as it was full, full for us I'm guessing as nobody went in there whilst we were there and some people came in and were giving the option where they sat, the roast I would definitely not recommend - although plentiful and a good selection of vegetables the meat was swimming in some sort of thick stodgy gravy with a very weird taste - totally ruined the meal.

Overview - lovely site if you are a regular and 60+ otherwise look for somewhere else.

Reviewer: Sammie2367 4 reviews from this member

 Wow. What a great site The pitches are large and brilliantly maintained

The showers etc immaculate

And the owners are so friendly and helpful it's brill

When you pull into the site they even put your van on the pitch with their tractor

We are here for their Xmas and New year break, this includes most of the food and lots of entertainment for the whole 10 day

Like everything else here the food has been excellent

We will definitely be back

As you might have guessed I can't rate this site highly enough

 Stayed at this campsite August bank holiday and I felt I must write this review.

From booking the holiday, discussing arrival times, nothing was too much trouble as we thought we were going to be arriving early. When we arrived about 10. 00am the pitch was ready anyway and the owner on his small tractor told us to follow him to the pitch. Unexpectably, he asked us if we wanted him to position the caravan onto the pitch, which was a blessing, because the night before, the motor mover on caravan started playing up. He unhitched the caravan from car onto his tractor, positioned it and being slightly sloping, put a block of wood under wheel. Out come a spirit level on side of van, job done, off he went. If that doesn't say anything about how well the site is run. I was amazed.

On to the site, facilities are brilliant. Toilets/Showers very clean and of decent size. Restaurant and place you can just have a drink is nice, also conservatory which is different. Games room for kids good. Wife did the reception bit, dealing with all that, lot's of info available. She used shop late one night which the owner opened up specially for some pop which we had run out for our daughter and cousin. Again, nothing can be too much trouble for them.

Reading some reviews mentioning road noise, we were close to the road, there was a little, but honestly, nothing to shout about.

Location was good for main attractions and with new bypass being finished now makes it a lot easier being stuck in that traffic in past years.

To wrap it up, You'll be spoilt on this site and it may make other sites you visit a bit of a let down.

Reviewer: Deb-snovice 8 reviews from this member

 This was our second visit to Ross Park, this site is beautiful and very well established. There is a well stocked shop on site and the owners go the extra mile for the guests, I needed an onion and they didn't have one in the shop but the owner asked what it was I was looking for and I told her and she said (I will go and get you one out of the restaurant) Brilliant service. The on site restaurant serves up Delicious reasonably priced food, and the Bar is not over priced either. The pitches are very large and private. We have a serviced pitch water and waste connection. If you need help to park your van the owner will uses his amazing little tractor to park and level you. There is a huge field for the kids to play on with tennis / badminton court. There is an amusement arcade with various machines to keep the kids interested. The dog walking compound is brilliant and well behaved dogs can meet up and play together. There are dog poop bags placed all around the park in the event that you forget to bring your own. The toilet block is always spotlessly clean, and the individual shower rooms with WC are heated and very generous in size. We booked our 2017 holiday before we left. I can't praise this site enough.
