 When we arrived it was in constant drizzle and to top it all it'd been raining for the past week in and around Dartmouth but the pitch was surprisingly in good condition and appeared to have great drainage.
The facilities are good plenty of toilets/showers/wash basins, my only grumble is the shower didn't seem to have a good spray and varied from shower to shower however you could still get a hot trickle going.
One thing I did notice that might be worth noting for tenters is the bottom field which had no electric hook-ups got very boggy due to the rain, especially the entrance but the owners did the best they could by putting hay or some hard core down for traction, so if I was to book again I book a tenting pitch it'd be with a hook-up even if I wasn't going to use it as these pitches appeared to be better.
The play area was adequate and would keep any child entertained but we visited the boozer at the bottom of the park and on the outside it didn't look too appealing but walking inside it didn't appear much better so turned around and out again so can't comment much further on it.
The camp shop/reception has the basic essentials and is more than adequate.
On the whole I think Dartmouth camp site is a credit to its owners / staff as this is a tip top site and well looked after, yes there are some niggles that I've highlighted but none that would put me off from visiting again.

Have spent 10 days at the site, which we loved. Good location for exploring South Devon with distant sea views and good facilities. The facilities were clean, despite muddy conditions on occasions, with 5 showers in each of the gents and ladies blocks. Occasionally had to queue but this was August and the site was busy. Small shop on site provided the essentials, also a small petrol station and shop very close by.
Children enjoyed the playground and there was plenty of space around the pitches to play too. There is a local pub at the entrance to the site, but there was no noise heard from this during our stay. Local shops in Dartmouth and new supermarket opening this month.
Local leisure centre and outdoor swimming pool and cinema in the town. Parking in Dartmouth is difficult when busy, but there is a park and ride not far from the site and a bus stop outside with hourly buses. Short drive to beaches at Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both which have adjacent parking. The site did become muddy after rain and much of the site does not have tarmac roads.
We would definitely visit again.

Just had a fabulous two days here (next time it will be longer). The pub at the entrance has now re-opened but was rather a disappointment - perhaps they will get the formula right soon. The bus stop at the gate allows plenty of exploring without taking your own vehicle off site, however the last bus back from Dartmouth is 6.05pm, although in such a tranquil location this is not a problem just a good reason to socialise if you want with other campers.

Lovely clean site, facilities were perfect, although maybe a little pricey but you only get what you pay for! Playground was okay for children (mine are 7 and 10).
Blackpool sands a lovely beach, a little over a mile away, bus stop outside site much better in the summer.
Pub is not yet open, no proper shop on site, garage in walking distance. A perfect location for South Devon, Dartmouth and a good beach.

Beware! This pleasant site has been taken over by the Camping and Caravanning Club with little improvement in facilities but vastly increased prices. To be charged £22 for two people in April is about 50% more than comparable sites in the area. The members' rate of £16 is still excessive, given the lack of facilities: even the pub is shut up at the moment with a sign saying 'under offer'. The toilet block has been rebuilt and looks shiny and new, but in terms of use is actually worse. For instance the WCs are the kind that 'saves' so much water that one flush is replaced by three, then you resort to the brush! We moved on to the River Dart Country Park: much cheaper, far more pleasant surroundings, extensive play areas, free wireless internet etc. If the Camping and Caravanning Club want to keep the good-will of the camping public they need to 'get real' with their pricing.

Arrived on site at 11am on Friday the 13th with only one hiccup on the way. Site was very nice, situated next to a pub for all you alcoholics out there.lol.
Toilet blocks where OK and showers too but were a bit slow to warm up depending on which shower you used.
Dog friendly site that didn't have a dog walk, you had to take the dog out the site and on the main road to a field down the way or cross the road from the park. Site said "dogs fouling on site will be asked to leave" which is fair enough but when you don't have a dog walk can be a pain, but lucky we never had a problem on that one just a note to future camping folk with dogs.
Loads of hills so if you have a slow car be warned.
shopping could be a night mare unless you went into Dartmouth which has to be said one of the loveliest harbours I have ever been too.
Woodlands near by OK but for tenner for Adults or kids was steep for what was there.
Beaches where lovely Blackpool sands(stoney.)was not a dog friendly beach but 10mins down the road there was slapton sands stoney also.
only wardens on site and reception was only open twice when we went past, don't think they sell calor gas either.
Over all a nice site and area but been there done it think the narrow roads put us off a little.

Just got back from Deer park, good level pitches that didn't seem to get too boggy considering the amount of rain we had. Toilet block ok but looked a little tired inside and kept running out of loo roll, and the shower temperture was a bit hit and miss especially in the ladies. Good children play area, but note there is no shop on site and the garage just outside the camp shuts after six, so if you are needing gas after that time forget it!
Overall a good site with excellent views after reading a previous post from the owner with regards to a small shop/ reception being built and upgrading the toilets some time has made my day, and is the iceing on the cake and will make the campsite near to perfect.

Just returned from a Self Build Motor Caravanners Club meet at Deer Park. As usual, we had Brill time. This is definitely amongst the best sites that we have Meets at each year. It's relatively easy to get to. The site has both a good Pub and a Restaurant on site. The shower block is always clean even after the site management have cut the grass - LOL
There is a very good Bus service that can take take you into either Dartmouth or along to Tor Cross or Blackpool Sands and it's right outside the Deer Park site gates.
Slapton Ley is very good for anyone who has an interest in wildlife.
All up, it's very hard to find anything against Deer Park: For me? I'd give it A1+

My wife and I have just returned from a long weekend at the Deer Park campsite and we have to say it is one of the best campsites we have visited. The site is on the outskirts of Stoke Fleming only a five minute drive from the lovely town of Dartmouth.
We pitched on a relatively flat pitch at the top of the first field, most of the pitches in the first field are relatively flat, the second field has more of a slope but it''s not too bad. We pitched our tent with a nice sea view (It was 2 days before we saw it though due to the weather!)
The showers and toilets are excellent and we never had to queue for either even first thing in the morning. The showers are piping hot, just what you need after a cold night in the rain (Typical British June weather!) The washing up facilities are good with plenty of sinks although the water was a little cold in the mornings.
All in all the campsite is very well laid out and maintained - all of the tent pitches we saw had an electric hook-up and plenty of room to pitch a reasonable size tent. (Not sure about if monster tents would be ok in all of the pitches between a couple of the trees where we were).
The Deer Park Inn is an excellent little pub which is easily accessible being located near to the toilet and shower block. The pub has a nice relaxed atmosphere. The beer and wine is very reasonably priced, we also had a meal one night which was excellent. The food is very reasonably priced for the huge portions you receive and was delicious. The Bangers and Mash arrived with a large "Mountain of Mash" just as described in the menu!
We didn't try the swimming pool as it was raining nearly all of the time, or the children's play are (No kids!) but both facilities looked good.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be going back as soon as we can! This really is one of the best campsites we have visited having good facilities but retaining a relaxed peaceful atmosphere.

Just a quick update on the season so far:
We now have a warden and an assistant living on the site, one in each enclosure. Anne (our warden) has a mobile so if you arrive at the site you can phone her and she will appear a couple of minutes later (a bit like a Scottish Mr. Ben - but without the fancy dress costumes.)
The boreholes working really well, swimming pool up and running from it - the water is crystal clear and much cleaner than mains water!
The reception will be as last season, apparently we need planning permission to replace it , so we've decided to do that over the winter so as not to disrupt the site now it's open.
Big (and I mean BIG) improvement with the toilets in the two camping fields - why didn't we do it sooner? Those blue things were just awful! Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Well, Easter and Whitsun over, looking forward to a few quiet weeks until all hell breaks loose.yep, its the UKCS rally in July!
We're having a great time this season, met some lovely folk on the site - its times like these that make all the late nights, early mornings and blocked drains worthwhile!

Just returned from camping at Deer Park Caravan & Camping with our children, and family members.
Camped for 3 nights, 4 days had a fantastic time, camp site very clean and safe for kids. Restaurant and pub very friendly, excellent food and very reasonably priced. All the staff are very friendly, the facilities are very clean and well organised. It is ideally located for the beach (Blackpool Sands) and Dartmouth Town which has some very nice pubs!
The owner Peter is very approachable if not slightly laid-back! Would fully recommend this campsite.

Review submitted by Deer Park
Thank you for all your feedback again this year, we really do appreciate it, it's important to us to know what people like and where we can make improvements!
For next season (2007) we have already had a new water main laid and, to reinforce our 'green credentials', we are drawing water from our own spring ( for non-drinking use at this stage ) to avoid a repeat of last summers water supply problems - big thumbs down to South West Water for that !
There will be a bigger reception at the entrance which will include for the first time a small shop stocking necessities and hopefully also some local organic produce (hens willing.).
For the main school holidays in July and August we will be doing away with the 'blue dalek' toilets - hurrah - and will be putting in larger blocks which will be miles better - plus improvements to the main toilet/shower block ( new toilets, hand dryers etc).
We will also be trialing a new 'field warden' system during the holidays, where each enclosure (there are 4) has an identifiable member of staff living there for the holidays - important when there are problems or things that need to be dealt with quickly.
One thing that won't change is the warm and friendly welcome all our guests enjoy - we look forward to greeting you again in 2007.
Regards
Pete & Sarah Keane

We found this site by accident, we were heading for Little Cotton but it had closed. Deer Park was also closing but the owner - Pete - let us stay anyway, they were re-doing the shower and toilet block so only basic facilities were available but we were happy with this. It was a struggle getting him to take any money for letting us stay!
The site is in a good position, very close to Dartmouth and the beach, shame the weather was miserable as we would have liked to stay longer.
After the welcome we had this time we will definitely return next year.

Spent 2 nights after the Bank Holiday the site was pretty full. I'm sure the views are lovely but all we could see were caravans and cars.
The on site shop was selling coffee at £1.75 for 50g (you'll agree a little overpriced!) I didn't notice the price for any other items.
The most expensive site we used this holiday (£21.25 per night for 2 adults and 3 children). There was a childrens room attached to the pub housing a pool table and some 20p tut machines (the kind of enviroment we try to avoid). The pool was ok although in my opinion it could so with a revamp but the area did look recently painted.
I booked this site specifically to go to Woodlands and for that it served it's purpose but this site is not for us and we will not be going back.

Tidy and level pitch with plenty of room and the surroundings were well kept.
The standard of the shower and toilet facilities were only just on the adequate side. They may need a upgrade pretty soon.
Deer Park had a nice play area that was not in the best position on site as it seemed a distance from a lot of pitches (not a bad thing for everybody!).
The pub on site was very poor from most perspectives; trying to be a gastro-pub, kids pub, family entertainment area, adults swilling pub and it failed miserably on all counts. The food was expensive and very poor, all in all the pub wasn't up to much at all.
Very near to lots of great attractions. Woodlands was a great place to visit for people of all ages, they seemed to have it covered for everybody! Highly recommended!
Green Dragon pub (3/4 mile walk) served excellent food and beer.
