We've just come home from a fantastic 3 nights staying at Lydford. Having previously stayed here we knew what to expect but it's got better! Wonderful welcome from the assistant wardens, they could not have been nicer. Had lots of interaction with the main wardens too and again they were brilliant. All 4 of them are a credit to both the campsite and the CAMC. Lovely hardstanding pitch close to everything we needed, water, waste, bins, recycling, etc. Had the sun literally all day, and also had trees at the rear of the pitch for shade so literally perfect. New (to us) facilities block were spotless at all times. The dog walk (even though we no longer have a dog) is stunning, just for the views of Dartmoor alone. Easy walk into the village. Castle Inn is lovely, but was constantly busy when we visited so only had drinks. Also food menu looked expensive! The gorge is a short walk (downhill) from the pub too and worth a visit for the 3 mile riverside walk to the waterfall (even though we'd not had a lot of rain). The Granite Way cycle path runs from the village down into Okehampton with the Pump & Pedal worth a coffee stop on the way. There are buses from the village to both Okehampton and Tavistock although we didn't use them as we just walked and biked all weekend. As this site is only a 45 minute drive from home for us we hope to be regulars! One word sums it up.......PERFECT.
