Friendly site in a tree-filled valley near Bodmin Moor
Well-maintained and peaceful park in a wildlife haven
Easy drive to both coasts and five minutes' ride to the Camel Trail

Escape with a break to Ruthern Valley Holidays… At this friendly site in a tree-filled valley near Bodmin Moor, the emphasis is on making the most of the natural surroundings – think birds and rabbits rather than bingo nights, and a gently meandering stream instead of the boom of a disco bar. The site is carefully laid out to offer visitors the maximum space and seclusion possible. Kids will have a blast roaming around the woods building dens and wildlife spotting, chatting to the resident chickens and pigs, and bouncing around the leafy playground area. Ruthern Valley Holidays also has a licensed shop selling bangers, other local goodies and some essential camping gear. Other amenities include solar-heated showers, toilets, a laundry and washing-up facilities.

10-amp electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked: Loved the site. The peaceful surroundings away from the hustle & bustle of the main towns. Very clean and tranquil site that was perfect for our needs. We would most definitely stay again. The showers were really warm which is perfect.

Disliked: We gave 4 stars due to the washing up areas being closed and only 1 sink able to be used. So we had to wait most days.
We also disliked other campers having no thought for others and leaving the toilets and shower areas dirty for others. Also if the hot water for the washing up areas could be hotter that would be great.

10-amp electric grass and gravel pitch

Liked: The night is very quiet, with no light pollution, allowing for a clear view of the stars.

There are private shower rooms with attached toilets. The shower has sufficient water pressure and gets adequately hot, using an instant water heater. There is heating available, but it needs to be turned on early in advance.

The grass is level and in good condition.

The power supply is stable, with an independent fuse that can be reset manually.

A communal lounge is available, equipped with a microwave, freezer, sink, laundry table, three-pin power sockets, and coin-operated washing machines and dryers (£0.50 per use).

At the reception area, there is a small shop selling basic supplies, including camping gas. It is open until 7 PM and allows pre-orders for bread, eggs, and other essentials for the next day. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Wi-Fi is available and works properly.

Disliked: The bathroom drainage is slow; please monitor the water flow.

The freezer in the communal lounge and the heating in the shower rooms are turned off by default; make sure to switch them on early in advance.

There is an unpleasant odor near the grassy area close to the toilets—best to avoid that spot.

Local attractions

Cornwall’s countless charms are all within your grasp: moors and tors; fab beaches (both the northern and southern coasts are within 10 miles, and the surfing mecca of Newquay is just a few miles further), the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, traditional castles and mansions like Tintagel and Llanhydrock House, zoos and wildlife centres, theme parks, museums… If you want to ride the waves, book your place at the surf school on Polzeath beach for some assistance in getting out onto the water. Sea kayaking, kitesurfing and horse riding are also available nearby. Cycling deserves a special mention: five minutes on two wheels brings you to the Camel Trail, 16 miles of converted railway track that makes for an great ride through the Camel valley, and links to the Cornish Way for trips further into Cornwall. Bikes can be hired at cycle centres nearby including at Wadebridge, Bodmin and Padstow. Slake your pedal-induced thirst enroute with wine tasting at the renowned Camel Valley Vineyard, or take a bottle away to wash down some fish and chips from the Rick Stein takeaway in Padstow. This pretty fishing village a short ride away is a fully-fledged foodie destination, with several acclaimed restaurants and takeaways.
