Tamar Lakes Campsite

Watersports, lake, location, play park, cafe onsite.

Unclear signage for the camping reception. FYI it's the watersports building. Most of the site is unlevel. Only two electric hook ups. Not family friendly shower blocks. Most of the men's showers are communal. Needs a camp site dedicated shower block.

Very friendly and competent staff nothing was to much trouble. Exceeding well maintained and clean site, toilet and showers were very functional and clean . Very good water sports facilities. Views are excellent also lots of wildlife to see. Will recommend to all my friend. Thank you

Pitch was not level. Needs some more hardstanding for vehicle parking . Maybe rough gravel
"road " way to pitches as rain makes the pitches hard to reach.

Great location with amazing views, clean tidy and safe, Will go here again very soon.

Small campsite, close to lake with watersport hire and instruction available.

During very heavy rain, a small amount of water came up through the floor. Needed a second shower with a curtain in the women's shower block.

The area and the lakes

The showers

Sports facilities (but didn't use)

Most of the pitches were on a slope, which wasn't clear to us when we booked. We requested a level pitch due to having young kids at the time of booking, but that request wasn't acknowledged or replied to by the site managers before we arrived.

The first night, both kids were consistently awoken by sliding down the tent.

In the morning we had showers - the pressure switch for each shower (I tested them all in the gents') lasted around 3 seconds, making it impossible to have a reasonable shower, especially with the kids. We didn't expect Ritz-type facilities, but I've never experienced showers like that at any site I've stayed.

We complained about the pitch slope but the manager said we should have been aware of it from reviews at pitchup.com. I would have preferred the site description to state the pitch was sloping, rather than having to go through all the reviews. In fairness, the manager suggested she may have a level pitch available at a sister site, but spending a few hours taking down the gear and setting it back up after almost no sleep didn't appeal.

It made us wonder why that wasn't offered after we'd booked, due to our request for a level pitch.

As a result, we packed up and left our days early. For us, a complete waste of time and money.

Nice view

Pitches were very unlevel. We booked 10 days but left after 6 due to having an accident in the tent with the ground being so dangerous. Showers were constantly dirty and mouldy.

Toilets and showers clean, showers very hot - lovely! Yes only one has a curtain but you only use one at s time! There is a slope but our pitch (2) was ok, bit narrow for our tent but it's very wide. Staff at watersports very friendly and helpful. Lake is beautiful when the weather is nice, husband really enjoyed the park run.

The wind! Not campsites fault though. Locks on toilets doors in shower block don't work very well and I think a curtained off cubicle to change after shower etc would be nice, children get really embarrassed seeing naked women!

The stunning views across the lake from our tent
Plenty of space in pitch even for a big tent with space still to sit out side your tent and the kids to play without being to close to other tents
The quietness of the campsite
The children's play area although could do with some more play equipment aimed at younger children i.e baby swing
The easy access n short distance to the toilets
Short drive to the nearest shop about 3 miles

The communal shower area had to time it well to make sure you got the only shower with a curtain

Steph I cannot thank enough on Reception at Tamar was so polite & helpful in cancelling the Pod and liaising with Pitchup.com to refund. I fully recommend booking direct with sites not thru Pitchup.com who will not refund at all I now believe.Relieved not the word I nearly cried. Went home and not stayed in this Pod.

The ONE Pod had no outside area for being surrounded by tent pitches each side of it and front of it.Tents facing it.Hardly any space for your car before a tent pitch.ONE Pod dumped at the top of a sloping field facing Tents and the toilet/shower block on the lower carpark! The bunk bed mattress covers were heavily soiled my 11year old noticed. Communal showers. NO wonder Pitchup.com cut their photo of the outside of the Pod.Deceiving and a shock on arrival.Will never book with Pitchup.com again.Ruined the last part of my daughter's holiday we went home early instead of feeling like Punch & Judy in a box infront of all the campers.Book direct with sites in future!
