- Small CAMC members-only site close to the Devon/Cornwall border
- Five minutes' drive to Launceston; half an hour to north Devon coast
- Fishing lake on site, plus access to River Tamar; dogs welcome
Trying to decide between Devon and Cornwall for your break? Members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club can solve this dilemma by staying at Lower Dutson Farm Certificated Location, in a handy location five minutes’ drive from Launceston and close to the border between these two fabulous counties.
This peaceful site is part of a traditional family-run farm that’s home to cattle and sheep as well as having its own lake that’s popular with local wildlife. There’s just a small number of pitches here, and they’re all reserved for CAMC members only – so there should be plenty of space for all guests to relax and get their pitch set up just as they want it (perhaps with an awning, a gazebo or an outdoor table).
As this site is designed for fairly self-sufficient tourers, the owners have kept the facilities list on the minimal side – you’ll have access to a toilet block though, along with electric hookups, mains water and a chemical disposal point. Dogs are welcome on site, as long as they’re kept on a lead when around livestock.
Dog owner or not, you may like to take the short walk from the pitches through the fields to the River Tamar. You can fish on the river too, or in the site’s pretty coarse fishing lake – just note that there’s an extra charge for this.
Walkers are well catered for too, with some nice strolls to be had along the edge of the river and lake, and the Tamara Coast to Coast Way close by. Beyond all that, you’ll be not far from Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor National Park and the north Devon coast for beaches and seaside walks.
