River Dart Country Park Newton Abbot TQ13 7NP

"Didnt know we had to book before visit? Lovely place, cafe a little pricey but good food and portions. Staff nice and friendly."

"The new online booking system is good for peace of mind about parking however I think they should still offer tickets at the gate if there's spaces. We all know phone signal around dartmoor is spotty at best. I do always enjoy a drink and hot meal here after a paddle and the staff in the sawmill are always lovely."

"Prices are non realistic. They may say they have all these activities available, but how many do you think you will achieve in a day? especially if you have children in tow? The day rate is not proportionate to what you will achieve. Save your money and go to somewhere where it's obvious what you are getting for your money. i.e an adventure park. Visit a free country park or local park even and pocket £66, the price for a family of five to go on some slides and a fort. Another £63 for 3 to walk high ropes?! REALLY, not even a free return visit offered or an annual pass for that price. P.S if you must go, take food and drinks and go when its warm enough to paddle in the water which is next to the toddlers beach and by the wooden box called a pirate ship. Oh and buy a bike rack to take your bikes so you can use them in between visiting all the other activities they big up.....just to get more for your money."

"Amazing camping experience (we had pitch number 14) under a huge tree. As you can wonder around , ride your bikes etc before the park opens and closes to the general public it's unique like the park is your own.... (Note there are freezers available to use to freeze your ice packs which was dead handy). Generous pitch sizes, you can easily fit 2 tents within a pitch. This place is really well maintained throughout, camp site spotless, showers always hot, toilets always clean. Through the main park, no litter anywhere. Staff are all friendly. You have to pay for the additional activities such as canoe, kayak etc. We really recommend the high ropes, canoe and kayak, Large woodland next to the camping area so dogs can be walked off lead. A lot to do on site so never felt bored. Ashburton is a very quick drive from this site, for the supermarket, fish and chips, ice cream parlour."

"Just came back from a 5 day camp with my husband and four boys. Wow what a wonderful time we had. The boys had something to do at all times and didn’t have a moment of boredom. All the staff were wonderful, especially Hazel and the chef in the cafe who went out their way to accommodate our extremely fussy eater. The food was wonderful there. Only downside was that the kids had cash pocket money they wanted to spend but everything apart from the arcade was card only. Great shower facilities also, cleaned every day. So much fun to be had without paying extra, although this was our main holiday so we paid for extra activities. Our older boys especially loved the bike park. They rode from 10-4 and said it was the best day ever! Thank you River Dart we will be booking for next year soon!"
