Excellent location
Great site, extremely helpful wardens, excellent dog walking from the site, access to Dartmoor itself less than a mile from the site and good(food) pubs within walking distance.
We will be back!

Devon at its best.
Our second stay at site but this time included over the Bank Holiday so we were a little concerned it may be a bit too busy or noisy. Need not have worried it was just great with good weather showing off Devon. The walks from the site are good with plenty of them suitable for the dog. For peace and quiet and a good place to let the dog run I can recommend the Lydford Forest (turn right at site entrance and right again at the junction and about 1 mile up the road turn left into the forest access road). It is mixed woodland and also has a river running through it.
Wardens were great!
The site was grrrreat! The dog walk has one of the nicest views you could wish for. The showers and toilets were spotless! The site was very peaceful and although the weather was not that good, there was many walks from the site that could be enjoyed. The wardens were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a lot of rain during the day, before we had to leave and the night before, they came to our van to say they would help us get the caravan off the pitch (our car is not the most powerful) All in all.....it was a enjoyable holiday and I would love to return one day

Great Site.
Just stayed at this fantastic little AS site for 8 days and there is still more things to do when we go back for another visit, the site itself is kept spotless by the very hardworking wardens who are the friendliest and most helpful wardens we have come across in our 20+ years of camping, can't wait to go back.
Excellent site with terrific wardens
We stayed here whilst visiting our son and his family in Plymouth. The site is wonderfully quiet, with fabulous views over Dartmoor. Whilst the toilet block is slightly dated it is kept very clean and the wardens work hard improving the facilities. The site is immaculately kept and the wardens are lovely and very sociable. This was our first AS site and we were suitably impressed. Thank you wardens for such an enjoyable stay.
A good way to wind down
This is an excellent site, the facilities are first class and the wardens were very friendly and helpful, we were made to feel very welcome.
It is very close to the Granite Way cycle trail, which is a good way to visit Okehampton and is about a eight mile fairly easy cycle.
The pub in the village is a good place to enjoy a good pint and a good meal and the village church is very old and well worth a visit as is Lydford Gorge. there is also a bus stop in the village for the less energetic of us.
All in all a great sit to visit and relax and wind down, or to walk or cycle, will definatel;y visit again.
7th Visit to Lydford
We have been here many times now, and always find our stay an enjoyable one (even during inclement weather). The site is well maintained with friendly wardens. Some visitors seem to be of the "walk past you with head down brigade", but then that's their problem. Most others are very sociable indeed!
Visiting the Gorge is a must if you are able to, and walking on Dartmoor doesn't need to be described here.
The Castle Inn allows dogs into the bar area, but not children (even well behaved ones) - although there is a back room and beer garden that allows these small people!!!!
We will be back again soon.
A Breath of Fresh Air
Just arrived home from our first visit to this site. We were pleasantly surprised to find the facilities as per the c club standard, as is the site in general, wardens very friendly, informative and helpful. As mentioned previously the Gorge is a must visit, easy walking distance from the site, be prepared for the 'come and join us' hard sell at the pay kiosk, by the National Trust bods. We caught the bus to Oakhampton and walked the Granit way back, a good 9 miles, a bit of plod, but a flat easy plod. Visited the Castle Inn a couple of times, lovely atmosphere, excellent food and value for money, cant say the same for the Dartmoor Inn. Didn't walk the moor much, weather too cold. We're saving that for next time.
Brilliant
This is the best site I have been to so far. The staff are so friendly and helpful and cannot do enough. On the edge of the moors with excellent views. Lydford gorge is a must see and an excellent walk. Do not take children it's too rocky. I would definitely come again. Thanks again
Excellent site
We have just spent 4 nights on this well kept site. The toilets and showers are very clean and the wardens friendly and helpful. The site is within walking distance of Lydford Gorge and the Granite trail which has spectacular views across Dartmoor. Tavistock is about a 15 minute drive away.
