I would concur with all the positive reviews left by other people.
Doe park has all the attributes necessary for a good experience.
However, It must be said that the male showers hot water temperature/ volume and pressure is utterly not fit for purpose. I have been on hundreds of sites in the UK and France for over 20 years and Doe Park has the distinction of being the worst shower performance I have ever had. I would happily have paid 50 pence for a decent hot shower, the 20 pence simply added insult to injury. OK it was March the incoming cold water was cold and needed an adequate system to facilitate an adequate hot shower.
How sad in 2023 to be let down so badly by such a fundamentally essential facility.
If you are used to a decent shower (which most sites provide) forget it. By the way I was a plumber/heating engineer so I know a poor system when I see it.
Sorry Doe Park 95% for almost all, Zero % for shower. I tried both male showers 1 twice the other once, dreadful!

Great location, nice level site with direct access to beautiful Teesdale countryside.
Don’t forget to try some tasty Cotherstone cheese while you’re there!

First time on Doe Park as we are new to Van life, thought the park was really lovely,
Nice and peaceful and the facilities where beautiful and clean,
The people who we met at the check in were really nice and helpful especially when we found out we hadn’t brought any knives and forks 🤣,
We will definitely go back,
A big thank you to everyone who were so friendly, thank you

Lovely site, well maintained.
Plenty of walks straight from the site, two of them lead to pubs with great food.
Good standards of hygiene in shower blocks.

I've never been on a site with so much space between vans the pitches are so spacious
The site couldn't be set in more beautiful surroundings perfect gorgeous unspoilt countryside
10 mins drive from Barnard castle it's high street coffee shops antiques shops Bowes museum a full day out pottering it's very relaxing
There's a pub in Cotherstone the fox and hounds via a shortcut from the site 10 minutes walk
The shower blocks are very clean only 2 showers in each block and require 20p but 20p is enough time to get yourself freshened up
We will be back staff are lovely the site is peaceful for us it was a gorgeous couple of nights

Doe Park has been our favourite site for many years, touring in both VW Campervans and now in our caravan. The warmth of the welcome from Alison and the the team is just wonderful. Many people return year after year and there is definitely a sense of being part of the Doe Park family for us. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and people are quick to offer help to their neighbours should the need arise.
The site has large, level, well spaced gravel pitches, set in very well kept grass. The toilet blocks are well maintained and spotlessly clean. There isn’t a playground for children but there is plenty of space for them to play on the field at the front.
Outside school holidays we love a pitch on the front for the wonderful views…. In school holiday time and at Bank Holiday weekends it’s a bit more lively with little people playing so if you’d prefer a little more peace and quiet then best to choose another area! The site is great for small children who love to run around but it would probably not suit tweens and teens.
The site is in a fantastic location. 5 minutes walk takes you into Cotherstone, where there are two pubs…the traditional Red Lion with lovely real ale, and The Fox & Hounds, where you can get a nice meal. Walking the other way on a path alongside fields takes you to Romaldkirk, where there is also a couple of pubs. Further up Teesdale is Middleton, where there are lots of nice cafes, pubs and restaurants.
There are a number of great walks in the Middleton area as well. Barnard castle is a real market town with great shops and loads of places to eat. Raby castle is an absolute must visit while you are in the area…it has a newly opened play area tin 2022 to add to its many attractions. If we are staying for a bit longer we’ll also do a day at Beamish and a day trip to the Lake District.
Doe Park is an old school, family run caravan park, really well run and welcoming, where the emphasis is on relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Lovely farm site in countryside - quite a large site set out in hedged field like areas. Good sized level hardstanding pitch.
Friendly staff.
Clean facilities although only 2 showers per block they never felt over capacity. Presume many people used their own facilities due to Covid. Needed 20p to operate shower - they were hot and lasted a good while.
Several walking tracks from the site -along which you could walk into the nearest village in around 30 - 40mins. Village with pubs a few minutes drive away.
Lots of doggie waste bins provided on site and at the start of the paths.
Near Barnard castle and High Force. Would recommend.
