George R. Apr 2025

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Great location just off A30 to break journey to Cornwall with lots of great things to see locally (Granite Way, Meldon Viaduct, Lydford Gorge). Facilities clean. Helpful staff.

Disliked: Shower/toilet facilities a little tired and a long way from some pitches. It is close to the A30 - so traffic noise might be an issue to some but didn't really notice it once inside the campervan with the doors shut.

Lovley site, a must for walkers.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: All of the site very clean, lovley warn welcome, excellent walks and cycle rides on the door step, the pub / cycle shop next door did excellent food and coffee. Good size pitches with plenty of room. Will go back again for sure.

Disliked: Only one thing, the doors on the showers were not the best, wooden staple door, that's the only thing.

Local attractions

Nearby Lydford Gorge, the valley carved into hard Dartmoor rock, is the deepest gorge in England's south west and a popular walking pick throughout the year for its 100-foot high White Lady waterfall and the Devils Cauldron whirlpools. Several walks are around here; pick up a National Trust leaflet at the site for details on routes. Heaps more outdoorsy pursuits are easily found in the Sourton Down Caravan and Camping Park surrounds, like the hiking trails and horse riding of Dartmoor, golfing and fishing in the nearby countryside, and surfing and sunbathing north of the site at Bude and Widemouth Bay. The old tannery town and Francis Drake's birthplace of Tavistock within a short drive is an award-winning option for shopping, at its Pannier Market on Fridays, regular events like antique and craft fairs, and the farmers' market fortnightly in the Square, voted the best in the southwest. More history is all around at places like Plymouth, where you can take the crew on a boat trip to see the navy ships in dock; Princetown, with its famed prison and museum; the old river port Morwellham Quay, and historic houses like 700 year old Buckland Abbey near Yelverton and the early twentieth century country house Castle Drogo, near Drewsteignton.
