Morwellham Quay

Friendly staff, great pub on site with great food and drink. Clean toilets and shower facilities

This is a special place to stay. Not your standard campsite to be sure - no marked pitches or hook up - but you get to pitch in the midst of a museum, surrounded by wildlife, with perfect ‘dark sky’ viewing. In addition, the showers were hot and the toilet facilities immaculate.
The Ship, the on-site pub, provided great cake, meals and ‘brewed at Morwellham’ beers in a relaxed, beautifully decorated, environment.
Everyone we met was friendly and helpful, particularly George, who told us about some amazing walks and more about the history of the area.
The shop sold some beautiful handcrafted pottery and blacksmiths craft, again made on-site, along with the aforementioned beers! Perfect for gifts.
From having the village to wander round at our leisure, fabulous local walks, where to our delight, we saw a family of otters at play, to excellent meals and drinks our stay could not have been more relaxed.
We will definitely be returning.

Having to leave and go home!

A really different and peaceful place to stay. Loved the pub with all the local produce would highly recommend.

The site and facilities were very clean. It was a very different but interesting place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub food was delicious. Due to the lack of light pollution the sky at night was an amazing sight. I would definitely return and recommend to anyone that is looking to stay in the area.

Amazing find. Covid meant museum activities all closed, so we could choose to camp wherever we liked in a near deserted village on world heritage site. Skeleton staff all very welcoming. Toilets and showers great. Awesome scenery all around, kayaking on river (our own boat). Still able to wander at will and take in the history. We caught end of season with pub still serving great food. Perfect location for access to Dartmoor, Plymouth and coastal beaches. Don't be afraid of driving narrow lanes as you'll find some beautiful hidden gems of river scenery.

Superb location enjoyed a lovely stop over with glorious weather, sad to see it in a rather sorry state we hope the Trust is able to reopen again and have a successful
future.

The peace and quiet, seclusion, it had a lovely atmosphere. Pub served excellent food, all facilities very clean and well kept

Not having been warned about the flooding, some toilets nearer the camping area would be appreciated

Brilliant location, lots to see and do, great facilities, toilets and showers, friendly and accommodating staff, great for photography and my 4 year old loved the play area. I saw some tents in some very different locations within the site. Lots of room for the campers to park. You could see the sunrise really well. Dog friendly.

No electric hook up.
