Second Choice

We stayed here in July whilst walking the South West Coast Path, we really wanted to stay on Trewethet Farm but it was booked so settled on Camelford. The site is really well maintained and the Wardens were very friendly and helpful. The toilet/shower facilities are very old and in desperate need of an upgrade. Views from the site are great. Although on a country lane we found it quite noisy with traffic. Note the Handbook states "High tension power cables cross the site, but not over the pitching area", WRONG, the cables are right over the pitching area and I'm afraid that had we not been able to get a pitch away from these we would not have stayed. The site served its purpose for us but I doubt that we would use it again. Camelford itself was a huge disappointment.

Fantastic Site Team

We stayed at this site during the school holidays and the site was spotless, as was the toilet facilities. Rob & Ian are the best Managers we have ever met, in many years caravanning and now with a Motorhome. They were Mega friendly, extremely helpful and always available for a chat. They regularly walked around the site, which is something many managers don't do. When they mentioned the rules on arrival, it didn't sound like you are being told off as many managers do. I would highly recommend this site to anybody that wants a fabulous holiday. Thanks Rob & Ian we will see you again.

Ticked All Our Boxes

We picked this site to use as a base for walking the South West Coastal Path. Access was very straightforward and the site offers a mixture of hard standing and grass pitches - some more level than others. Extremely friendly and helpful wardens who keep the site looking great - thank you. Although the site was almost full, it was very quiet - maybe because it is quite a distance from the beach and other attractions. That said, it's a personal preference as to what's important for you. Easy walk into Camelford for basic shopping. Limited walking from the site - the lanes are busy and traffic tends to travel at speed. Dog walk is basic - a small fenced area adjacent to the road. Transport needed to get further afield. All in all, site offered good value for money and we will definitely revisit.

Peaceful and Relaxing

This site is just off a main road so very easy to access. Even though I was there during the summer holidays it was never fully booked. Everyone was nicely spread out and whilst there were a couple of families near me they weren't noticeable. The site is 6 miles from the coast and at least 2 miles from any of the main attractions in the area and without means of transport would be difficult to get to. The bus service is irregular at best. There are foot trails nearby. The staff were very friendly and effective and the facilities - if a little dated - were kept clean.

Excellent site

This is our third visit to this site and as always is very well kept. The toilets. Showers are also clean and tidy. Not much else you can say about it, and always look forward to coming. The site wardens are excellent and nothing is to much trouble I would give them and the site ten out of ten

Very warm welcome

Spent 8 nights here recently, extending our original booking by 2 nights. A lovely peaceful, central site. Yes the toilet block does need updating but it is kept immaculate by Ian and Robin, the disabled toilet/shower is in a portacabin not ideal but very large and more than adequate. The flower beds and grass were being mowed and weeded whilst we were there and the wardens seemed always busy doing something but never too busy for a chat. The location just off the main road means easy access with no narrow lanes and there are a few local shops, a co-op and a lovely fish and chip shop very close. All in all a great site and we will make another visit soon.

Nice clean site

We stayed here in June for 14nights, it's a ideal site for North Cornwall, but it takes just under 2hours to reach Lands End which is very rugged and beautiful at the same time is expensive to park £6!! Boscastle is lovely with a great Nat Trust coffee shop, all around the coast is fabulous there's so much to see. The site is looked after by Ian and Robin, who do a great job keeping it cleans, but the club does need to update the toilet block, we had a fabulous sunset every night which was fab. There is no children's area and only a small dog area.

What a great find

Not sure why this site isn't fully booked more of the time. It's quite, very well kept with all the facilities you'll need. The couple of minus points are: If your at the bottom of the site its a fair trek to the only chemical disposal point. Some of the pitches require more then your normal levelling blocks, but the wardens keep planks of wood for just such occasions. In short I would fully recommend, just bare in mind that there is no play area for children. Enjoy :)

Great position for easy access to many parts of Cornwall

We specifically chose this site for easy access to many different and beautiful parts of Cornwall and were not disappointed. The site made our trips out to many different locations really easy and felt it was a great choice. Both Ian & Robin who run the site were very helpful and welcoming and the facilities very clean and well maintained and the site is both quiet and well placed to catch the sun. As we felt our motor home wasn’t suitable for exploring the lanes and villages in the area we arranged a hire a car from Enterprise Rentals, who were very helpful and collected us from the camp site to take us to nearby Bodmin to collect the car. We subsequently moved onto a different site in Cornwall and returned the car to Bodmin at the end of our holiday which worked really well. The staff at Enterprise couldn’t have been more helpful and we wouldn’t hestitate to make the most of our holiday by the use of a hire car in the future.

The ideal site

We have just returned from a two week break in Camelford. We rarely revisit a site as we like to travel to different areas of the country, but this site is just so peaceful and quiet that you are relaxed as soon as you arrive and feel you must come back again to recharge your batteries. Robin and Ian keep this site immaculate and are so helpful. Long may this site remain as it is now - the ideal site!
