Why stay here ...
Venn Farm CL with its fully serviced pitches is set on a peaceful conservation farm situated on the borders of Devon and Cornwall, in its own tranquil and unspoiled river valley. The adults only site is accessed by a leafy farm track and has stunning views of the surrounding open countryside.
All five pitches are fully serviced and have level hard standings, their own electric hook-up, drinking water supply, grey water disposal point, picnic bench brick barbeque and free Wi-Fi connection. We welcome dogs on the site and have our own 15 acre private mixed woodland in which visitors are welcome to walk.
The site is located centrally between the towns of Launceston, Holsworthy and Okehampton and is within easy reach of the North and South coasts of both Devon and Cornwall. It is ideally placed for visiting Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor. The Cornish villages of Tintagel and Boscastle are within 30 minutes drive as is the popular seaside town of Bude and the Devon market town of Tavistock. The larger towns of of Plymouth, Barnstaple, Exeter and Bodmin are all within an hours drive.
There is a local Post Office and shop 1.5 miles from the farm and the Cornish town of Launceston offering supermarkets, shopping and restaurants is 6 miles away.
Roadford within 5 miles is the largest lake for water based activities in the South West. It also offers fishing, walking and has a lakeside café and gift shop.
An alternative route avoiding Launceston town can be found on our independent website.

Our New Favourite!
Venn Farm
Wow, what a fabulous CL, now become our new favourite. Very peaceful, lots of space around fully serviced pitches on an immaculately kept site, that the owners obviously take pride in. Terrific short strolls around their own woods and interesting to see what the Beavers create. Access fine, with a large twin axle caravan, with only a couple of cheeky spots with passing places as you near the site. Follow the directions on the website (repeated on their own website) and go via Roadford Resevoir. Do not go via Launceston and approach the site from the west unless you are in a small VW type camper van. Terrific value and we'll definitely try and return.
What a Gem
Venn Farm
We had a break over the May Bank holiday. What a find. Peace, tranquility, views, spotless, easy to find and access. Even though the weather was not the best, this site was perfect. It is spotless and very well maintained. We will most definitely return! Thank you
Delightful - Peaceful - Tranquil - Spotless
Venn Farm
Venn Farm - totally glorious. The site itself is beautifully well kept. Fantastic facilities for a CL site. Wonderful dog walks - secure paddock and super woods to walk in - along with observing where the Beavers are present - sadly didn’t see any. Owners incredibly helpful and very warming. Good position for visiting other areas of Devon and Cornwall. Will definitely return. Totally 5 star site. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Peaceful Retreat away from it All
Venn Farm
Venn Farm is An Excellent Gem of a Site. It is so Well Presented and Maintained to the Highest Standard. The Owner is so Friendly Helpful and on Hand if you should need His Help. The Woodland walk is so magical and full of Dragonflies that Dart and Flit around You. The Wildlife Pond is so Tranquil to sit by. There are signs of the work The Beavers have done, but they are Very Elusive. I can Highly Recommend Venn Farm. The pitches are large and well spaced, with water, EHU & Grey water drain. The sky at night is so amazing on a clear night, with the full galaxy of Stars on View.
3 NIGHTS
Venn Farm
An excellent well priced CL with 5 widely spaced and generous hard standing pitches, each with their own fresh water, EHU, grey water disposal, brick bbq and picnic bench. The site has a central track, motorhome service point and good recycling, black water disposal, TV and Wi-Fi. It is surrounded by attractive trees, bushes and fields and includes a private wood to walk around with a dell and stream used by a local beaver colony. A useful trifold leaflet on the site is given on arrival. Peace and ambience make this a great place to chill out for a few days. However, for those like us who don’t drive off-site, the opportunity to explore is limited. There are no bus services and all longer walks involve roads e.g. to the nearest pubs at St Giles on the Heath (1.6 miles) and Ashwater (3.6 miles), which were both closed when we wanted to visit. Two short local footpaths to Virginstow were good but we found the longer footpath from Virginstow to Bradaford and a bridleway that cuts across the top of the Roadford Reservoir to be impassable to all but the most determined. Turning right out of the site, the road to the Roadford Reservoir visitor centre & café (5.4 miles) was good to cycle (carpark £2.50). We used this route to the A30 when we left with our motorhome.
