 Our visit to Doe Park was our first camping trip and what a site to have chosen!
I could not give one negative about this place.
It is a family business and the owners are the nicest people you could wish to meet.
The facilities were excellent and cleaned on a very regular basis.
Eggs, Milk and orange juice can be purchased from the reception area which is a handy thing to offer.
There is plenty of information available on where to visit whilst you stay there.I can't wait to go back and regret not going earlier in the year so that we could have visited more, but better late than never.

Visited doe park in july can't believe how friendly the owners were. The toilets and showers were like 5 star. We were 2 caravans and had 7 children with us so the owners put us where the kids had plenty of room to run around.
Will definitely come back to this site best site we have been on.There is so much to see and do in the area. They have a dog walk for them with dogs. And for the energetic there is a walk down to where you can swim in the river.
Five minutes away in cotherstone there is a more easy accessible way to the river also for swimming and playing.

We stayed here for 7 nights up to 20th July. We had looked at reviews on UKCampsite.co.uk and were not disappointed.
We had phoned a booking but had car problems so phoned to say we would be late. Finally got there at 7pm. We were given a choice of hard standing or grass. Very friendly greeting informing us it was fish & chip night at the horse & hounds. Got set up, awning etc but were to late to try pub. We went up another night. They only open for evenings & serve food from 6.30 till 9pm most nights. Book or be prepared to be told they're full.We got in at 6.15 to be told there was only a table for 2 in the bar. No problem. Food great, Beer great, what more do you want?
The site is very good. Facilities are split between two blocks, both are very clean & 20p for showers was acceptable. The block near the entrance are older and more cramped but still up to scratch. If your on the tent field it can be a distance to the facilities. There are laundry facilities at side of house.
No children's play area but space to play at back of site. Good dog walking area, loads of walks off site or just around fields close by.
More than enough information in the reception about places to visit, eat etc.
We had wind, rain and sun while we were there. No problems with drainage or soft grass.
They were full for the weekend but there was very little noise from people on site. Just be aware that you are on a working livestock farm, so there will be sheep, cattle and the odd quad bike making some noise, this was not an issue for us and we were just inside the entrance.
It was our first time on this site and we WILL be back, great people who can't help enough all you have to do is ask.
Visit, Barnard Castle. Castle(english heritage), Morrisons, River Walks, Market, Good Butchers, Bakers.
Middleton in Teeside, Great pubs, shops
High Force. £2 car park. £1.50 per adult
Maingill farm Shop. A few miles away on the A66. A busy place but worth a visit for meat, cheese & the coffee shop. Oh and say hello to Kevin! The Camel. Kids will love it on a dry day. Other animals to see as well.

After reading many good reviews for Doe Park we decided to book for 4 nights over the Spring Bank Holiday. Our email enquiry was dealt with promptly and we were amazed to see that a deposit wasn’t required. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that there was no charge for porch awnings, so £16 per night seemed reasonable.
The grass pitches were well-cut and level, and even though it rained heavily we didn’t have a problem with mud or grass cuttings being trailed into the awning and ‘van. We were fortunate (or unfortunate) to see the site in a range of different weather conditions, but when the sun came out it was idyllic.
The toilet and shower blocks were clean and warm but we had to queue on a couple of occasions. Reception has a wealth of tourist information, as well as locally produced basics like eggs and milk.
It’s a pleasant walk from the site through fields (with a brief stretch on the road) to the Fox & Hounds in Cotherstone. We were disappointed to find that it wasn’t open in the afternoon, but it was worth the wait for excellent and reasonably priced food in the evening.
Alternatively you can access the Tees Railway Walk direct from the site and head straight for Romaldkirk, where The Kirk Inn or The Rose & Crown await. We didn’t sample the food but we can recommend the beer and the ambience at both establishments.

It's a good site with lovely views, but there were one or two things that I was miffed about
We booked a hardstanding pitch but when we got there we were put in the tent field, which was a good size, great if you have kids. We were put at the bottom of the field which is my second gripe.
The tent field can do with a water point and waste disposal point because they are based at the toilet blocks, which I must say are far too small for the size of this site. But that said I would go back if I got the pitch I booked for.

Excellent site, staff really helpful and friendly. We only stayed one night but wish we could have stayed longer. The views from the campsite were fantastic
Barnard Castle is a beautiful town with a wide variety of shops, A trip up to Middleton-In-Teesdale is well worth a visit also. There are lots of local walks and a trip up to the reservoir is a must. We will definitely be going back later in year.

This site is on top of a hill so can be a little breezy. The staff were very friendly and they were on hand most of the day. We recommend this site as it is one of the best sites we have visited
It is only 5 minutes from Barnard Castle or ten minutes from High Force waterfall, it is ideal as a base for touring North Yorkshire
There are no children's play areas so it is a peaceful site more suited to older caravanners rather than families with young children

What an excellent site. Staff very very helpful and friendly. Facilities were spot on. 20p coins are a must for the showers which gave you ample hot water. We had a spacious pitch with electric hook up. The site provides a good dog walking area with bins.
There are some lovely walks with access through fields and along the old railway track. I agree it was a shame the village pubs were shut. We walked into Romaldskirk nice village had a drink outside the Kirk Inn querky and friendly.
Plenty to do out and about,loads of shops at Barnard Castle including a Morrisons. Bowes and High Force not far away and always worth a visit. All in all 'Simply The Best'.

Just returned from this site and what a lovely site it is. When we arrived we were shown to the tent field which was empty so plenty of room for our kids to run around.
Some lovely walks to do from the site through fields full of sheep kids thought it was great as the lambs were out in the fields and we got to see them feeding from the mothers which was very nice.
Showers 20p for a long hot shower, showers and toilets nice and clean and a lovely indoor pot wash area with loads of hot water. Reception hut (only open certain times) sells milk, eggs, and orange juice very well priced. We did walk up to the village shop which was half empty and didn't sell much and both pubs were closed that are within walking distance so cannot comment on those. A very nice quite site.

This is a real gem of a site. The pitches are spacious and well kept and the walks from the site itself are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners and the level of customer service is superb. This is also a really good value for money site.
If you want a really special meal then a visit to the Rose and Crown in nearby Romaldskirk is a must; the food was faultless and it's worth staying at this site for this pub alone! We'll definitely be back although I think this will be a very popular site and need booking well in advance.
