We have just returned from a 5 night break at Ross Park. We were greeted by Mark on his tractor (as per a previous reviewer) and he took us to our pitch and set it all up for us on levelling blocks which was fantastic. We wish all sites offered this service! There are lovely views from the site and if you walk down the adjacent lane and follow the footpath off to the left it brings you in to Ipplepen village.
The site is beautifully kept with plenty of bird life and rabbits to watch. There is a well stocked tourist information room and a reaonably well stocked shop. We didn't use the restaurant or bar but it looked in good order and smelled wonderful on Saturday evening! The toilet and shower facilities are immaculate and all individual cubicles which is great.
Newton Abbot and Totnes are both within easy reach and offer good shopping, the latter in particular has some lovely small boutique style shops, although quite expensive. We found fuel prices to be cheaper in Newton Abbot and Paignton areas rather than Totnes, by several pence per litre. For days out there are several National Trust properties within easy reach. We went to Coleton Fishacre near Kingswear which is a beautiful art deco furnished house with fabulous gardens and walks right down to the sea.
All in all a very enjoyable stay and will definitely return to Ross Park next time we are in the area.
Just returned from Ross Park, it is very true what everyone says its a very good site, with excellent facilities.
We were met by mark when we arrived, he led us to our site on his mini tractor and offered to put our caravan on the pitch I was surprised when my husband said yes.
Mark towed the caravan, levelled it on a brick and plank of wood checked it with his sprit level in a blink of eye we just watched in amazement.
Later that evening a couple arrived who refused his offer it took them ages to get sorted. So give yourself a treat when you arrive! Hope to return next year.
We were booked on to the leisure fields, the only tent area on the site. This area is along one edge of a large field with the EHUs behind. All day there were swallows looping around the field and buzzards flying above. The views were sensational.
Our dog was soooooo happy here! There is a field set aside for walking dogs off lead so you can also throw a ball for them. Next to the dog walk is a dog shower! A great idea for when your dog spends most of its time in the sea, asd ours does.
The conservatory is fantastic, we played bingo in it one night and just spent a quiet evening in there another. The games room is the best we have seen, cheap pool table and plenty of space invader type machines. To play table tennis you can borrow bats and a ball from the reception for no charge (some sites should take note of this).
There is a building set aside just for tourist information leaflets and very handy they are too.
The whole site is landscaped and full of flowers and interesting plants, I believe they win awards every year for the plant life etc.
Nearby there is Torquay, Paignton, Exeter etc but we had our best days out at Cockington Park and Decoy Park in Newton Abbot, 2 local country parks with enough to keep our 7 year old happy for the day. And dog friendly too. We also ate at the nearby Two Mile Oak, the best pub food we have ever had, try the steak and kidney pudding.
All in all a lovely site, so much so we booked up for 10 days next August as we left.
Absolutely lovely site. We arrived in heavy rain, we were met by Mark, who took us to our pitch then unhooked the camper and towed onto the pitch for us, he said get set up and then pop back to pay! Never had that before.
The pitches were massive, we had number 21. We had the camper, awning and car on it and still had room to sit out.
The showers were fantastic of the individual wet room style. The facilities for dogs were great, he was even given a bone shaped biscuit when we checked in. He loved the dog run and the conservation walk was lovely too, he enjoyed his shower too!
The bar was good and the entertainment on the Sunday night was good too. We did try to get in for the Bingo but as it was in the Conservatory we couldn't get a seat! We ate in the restaurant on the last night and it was very nice.
The staff are all very friendly and seemed to be always round and about, cleaning and cutting the grass and sorting out vacated pitches and then running the bar and restaurant at night!
Torquay is lovely, really enjoyed our days there, as was Cockington Village and Darmouth.
There was some road noise but you did get used to it.
All in all an excellent site and I'm sure we will visit again very soon.
Just returned from a short 5 night break (end Aug-begining of Sept) at Ross Park, our first visit to this site with me, wife & 8 year old grandson.
LOCATION
The park is just off the main road which runs between Newton Abbot & Totnes. Newton Abbot is the closest town and has got a large Asda & Tesco although it seems to be one of those towns where traffic jams are the norm. Because of this I would suggest turning right out of the camp site & head for Totnes if you are visiting Paignton which is roughly equidistant whether you go via Totnes or NA.
A word of warning, if you are in Paignton area and you use sat nav to return to the site, make sure it doesn't send you down narrow country lanes to avoid NA. Ours did & whilst it saved us a few miles its not to be recommended.
THE SITE
The site itself is predominantly for touring caravans with a separate field for up to 8 tents (more of this later). The caravan pitches are hardstanding or grass & have a choice of EHU only or an 'all services' type pitch. The layout is like avenues with some pitches divided by hedgerows whilst some are open pitch where 4 caravans park side by side but with ample space for privacy. The park is immaculate with regards to the caravan pitches and the facilities. The utility block consists of toilets, showers and combined shower/toiler cubicles. Add to that a laundry room, chemical toilet thingy & a dishwashing area and you have a very high quality facility block which I found to be clean whatever time I used them.
Next to this block is the games room (arcade type games) pool table, snooker room, table tennis & bowling lane.
Quiet a good selection considering that this site isnt what I would class as marketed for children.
The site has a restaurant & bar which we only used once (not open every night at this time of year) for the sites last game of Thursday bingo. This was held in the conservatory & even though I'm not a bingo player I doubt that you would find a nicer setting to play.
The food looked nice although we didn't try it.
The leisure field is for two purposes. Firstly it is a massive field whereby you can play ball games etc without falling over one another. Secondly this is where the tents are pitched. They only allow 8 tents, each having EHU. The pitch is very slightly sloping but nothing that will make you beer slide off the table, (thankfully).
The owners obviously market this site to attract a certain clientèle.
If you like to party or have screaming kids who need entertaining 24/7 then this site is not for you. From what we seen, I would suggest that the majority of caravanners were retired/semi retired/families who enjoy peace & quiet.If this is you then I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site to those who are looking for a quality site with clean facilities. My only negative is that there should be at least a toilet & dishwashing sink in the corner of the leisure field to save campers having to walk through the site to the main block. After all, electric & water are already provided in this area for the doggy shower !
We rarely return to the same site but if I did return to this area I would be comfortable returning here knowing what to expect.
This site is a wonderful campsite, the best we have ever used. No wonder it has recently been voted the national campsite of the year by readers of Practical Caravan. The staff cannot do enough for you and even tow your caravan to your pitch, park it and level it. There are all the facilities close at hand and can only be described as luxurious. The site is maintained to a very high standard with flowers everywhere. It is a very dog friendly site to two fenced off areas where they can run free off the lead and if we fancied having an on-site meal at the restaurant we could eat in the conservatory where dogs are allowed as well. Every night we sat in our awning watching the sun set over Dartmoor. Heaven.
We will definitely return, in fact we have already booked for next year.
A wonderful site. A warm welcome, wonderful facilities and an on site bar and restaurant which doesn't have rip-off prices. The shower facilities are spotless and are more wet-rooms than kiosks.
If you have a dog, this site is superb. Two enclosed fields where you can let the dog off the lead to run free and a dog grooming kiosk where you can give them a wash. A perfect base to explore Devon. We will definitely be back to Ross Park!
Ross Park is all the reviews claim it to be. From the time you arrive and have your van sited for you until you leave nothing seems to be too much trouble.
The park is beautifully kept, there are flowers everywhere and everything is very 'manicured', also no annoying notices or rules everywhere as there are at some sites. The loos and showers are very very nice. They are always clean, and are individual wet rooms.
The site was full when we arrived but never seemed as if it was as the pitches are large. There is a restaurant which is very popular and tropical conservatory where you can have a drink or coffee.
The locality is perfect for a holiday as it is very easy to visit many places, with Torquay, Dartmouth, Paignton etc nearby and even Plymouth only about 40 minutes. You could not fail to be impressed by this Park.
This site is out of this world. I would highly recommend everyone goes here at least once. The toilet and shower block's were the cleanest I have been in and were always available. If you are a dog owner as we are they will love it too as the dog walking area is also brilliant and you can even let your dog run free as the area is fenced off. When we arrived our van was also towed onto the pitch and levelled for us making the holiday start very smoothly.
The only negative I can think of was that we only went for a week, next year we will be making it a fortnight.
This site is immaculately clean, and great care has been taken to welcome you from the minute you arrive. Attention to detail seems top priority. Everything is spotlessly clean, with plants and flowers everywhere. We were camping and had the Leisure field (with electric hook up) all to ourselves.
The bar, restaurant were reasonably priced £4.50 for a glass of wine and a pint of lager. The conservatory is full of lovely plants, and dogs are allowed in. We ate on the last night, and the food was wonderful.
The showers, toilets etc were modern and plentiful, all Free.
All in all a great site, which we will definitely visit again.
We arrived at Ross Park to be greeted by very pleasant staff who made us feel right at home,they even towed our van to our pitch,sited and levelled it for us.
We found all the facilities to be spotlessly clean and tidy. The on site dog walk area is the best we have ever seen,lots of space for our four legged friends to run around in,even has a doggie shower area!
The restaurant and bar was a good place to eat and have a relaxing drink.They also did an excellent Sunday lunch,which you could hsve in the restaurant or in the conservatory.
Off site the surrounding area has plenty of nice villages to visit. Newton Abbot is just a short drive away,where you can find a range of shops and supermarkets for your essentials.
Ross park is one of the best sites we've ever been on. Went for 1st time in 2009 then in 2010 and going for 2 weeks in 2011. Owners so friendly and helpful. Dog friendly, dog shower. Massive dog area. Our dog Jasper, a black lab, was welcomed by the owner. Excellent pitches and facilities. Made some nice friends who go back year after year. The restaurant is excellent, 1st class food, eating in the conservatory with our dog was so relaxing. The surrounding area has so much to do, Totnes to Dartmouth via bus, boat, steam train, a must. The Dartmoor ponies running loose nice to see while driving through
Second time here and still immaculate in every way as others have commented. Walked to Ipplepen as previous post, quite quaint really, the Wellington pub does food and real ales straight out the barrel, there is a conservative club too (formally The Plough) where temporary membership can be obtained easily and good value beer, paid £2.40 for a pint of their real ale.
Bus stop down the road,buses every half hour to Newton Abbot or Totnes. Lot of birdlife in their large consevation area and paid £37.50 for two nights for two with ehu.
Just back from this site and could not wait to comment on how good it was.
First of all, the pitches are much better than they appear in the brochure. Very spacious and very tidy. Mark even towed our van into position for us. Sunday was our first day there and in the evening there was a barbecue, which was very well organised. Also evening entertainment, in the form of a singer, which made for a good first night.
Shower blocks were immaculate and cleaned daily, I think maybe more than once a day. Even though the site was full we didn't have to wait for a shower.
Large laundry room with free ironing. A large bright dish-washing room, with a large chest freezer, handy for our ice packs.
Play room for the kids, also two table tennis tables. Childrens outdoor play area and badminton/volley ball net and loads of grass for football kite flying etc.
Our favourite part was the lovely restaurant with adjoining conservatory. You could sit and relax over a cup of coffee [free refills] and admire all the lovely greenery. My ten year old son particularly enjoyed the bingo evening, held on the Thursday, especially as he won!
There are loads of things to see and do in the surrounding areas, all within easy reach. We didn't have time to see everything we wanted to and so have not hesitated in booking up for August. Helen even let us book which pitch we wanted.
This site is the best we have ever stayed on and I can't recommend it enough, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone should pay Ross Park a visit, they won't be disappointed!
