Avon Gwel bell tent
Liked: What a wonderful location this is! We spent two nights here with our two young daughters. The ready made beds ensured a comfortable sleep, and waking up to the breathtaking view was amazing. Our girls had a wonderful time playing in the spacious surroundings of the tent. The bell tent offered a sense of seclusion with only two others in the field. The upkeep of the site is impeccable. The inclusion of a private bathroom was a welcomed bonus, creating a hotel-like experience. Throughout our stay, we were provided with cooking amenities and a campfire, adding to the enjoyment. Chris, one of the owners, was incredibly accommodating and available for any assistance we required. The location couldn't be better – it offers an escape from the bustling campsites nearer the beach while remaining a short drive away, and it's conveniently situated for exploring various attractions. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Liked: Fabulous location just outside Lostwithiel with a great view down the valley. We had no problem arriving without a car and enjoyed a walk to nearby Restormel Castle and the Duchy of Cornwall Nursery. The site is very spacious and the bell tent was luxurious; we also had our own seating area with firepit and a private bathroom.
Disliked: Nothing!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (private bathroom amenities)
Liked: Absolutely amazing campsite! Quiet and private with a fantastic view. Level pitches. Bathroom facilities were brilliant and everything was so well thought through for guests. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening too. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Great campsite guide and local guide provided by Chris. Best campsite we’ve ever stayed at by far! We will be back.
