We’re delighted to announce the Club has purchased Dornafield Touring Park.

The site, to be called Dornafield Club Campsite is situated in a quiet valley, surrounded by beautiful countryside and perfectly placed for exploring Torquay, Totnes, Newton Abbot and Dartmoor.

On-site there are over 100 all-weather fully serviced pitches, excellent facilities and lots of entertainment for all to enjoy - including table tennis, pool, darts, two adventure playgrounds, a dog walk and an all-weather tennis court!

It is the second site in the South West to be bought by this club after running as an AS before?

possibly more suited to tuggers or MH’s that tow a car. 

Given the reversing limitations when towing a car there is no chance I would do it up that road. Access to Ramslade is bad enough but still better than Dornafield. These days when requiring a stop over near Torquay I prefer Widdicombe Farm (adults only) just off the Torquay bypass.

I had a quick look, it would not be for us either with our large outfit.   We have been to Ramslade, that was not too bad as the access road was quiet at the time, but that was in June, not peak summer holiday time.     This looks worse!

Isn't this just a change of status from AS to club owned rather than an extra site?

BTW, their T&Cs looked less favourable than camc's.

Posted on 02/12/2022 09:52

I think less favourable is being extremely generous, 'strictly' no refund deposits although before 28 days it can be moved but only once, pay upfront 28 days before and after that if you cancel you'll lose it all. There is a cancellation cover of £2 per day but cancel within 7 days you'll only get back half. 

At least that's one improvement the club will make?

Post edit, non members were charged an extra £15 something?

Is Stover non facilities site now on the clubs list for closure its only 4 miles away from Dornafield only in a much better location and easy access, Dornafield has very restrictive access I do not understand why on earth they've taken this site on.

"We’re delighted to announce the Club has purchased Dornafield Touring Park."

As most of the comments on this thread already are negative, perhaps the club could have spent this money on meters for the sites they already own?😉
