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.

Camping pod (four person)

Liked: Everything, the little cabin was cosy, the grounds was clean and the grass was well cut. Andrew and his wife have been amazing considering I was not the best guest.

The shop is very elegant, had everything I needed and it will have everything you need!

The price was great value, really good value to be honest. Andrew and his wife are very kind and helpful and very patient.

If your looking to stay there and your reading this please respect them and the cabins.

The WiFi is outstanding, fast enough for my laptop

Disliked: I had to leave for a person emergency and I didn't want to as it was quite place to stay. I left the place in a total mess

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Lovely peaceful site with secluded pitches. Good hot showers.
Close to the Camel Trail. We hired bikes from the site.

Disliked: Hard standing pitches are in almost total shade (I’m sure we would be grateful for that in the middle of summer but it was a bit chilly in May). As there were no tents on the camping field in front of our pitch we took our chairs out onto the grass in the sun.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: The pitch was large enough on gravel for the van and has a bit of green attached to the side. The location was ideal for the Camel trail equidistant for riding either way.
Toilets were clean and showers were hot.

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.

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.
