Positiv The area is packed with essential spaces like washing up area, toilet, shower, washing area and drinking water area and accesible 24hours. This areas are included on the pitch price except for the washing machine and dryer you need to bring 5£(coins) for washing and 1£ coin for dryer

Negativ When we visited there is a road closed signage before entering lydford gorge because of a bridge under construction so please check ahead by calling their reception. It took us 25mins drive to get there.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks for your kind words about our site.

The road closure has been difficult. I struggled with bureaucracy (5 long wait phone calls!) to get a yellow sign in place, with no result. In the end we made our own black and white sign saying 'CAMPSITE OPEN' next to the bank of yellow signs, which has been in place for some weeks now. In any case, please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused to you.

Positiv Location was good, we visited the gorge. Facilities were good. Only stayed for one night, stop over for Cornwall
National trust and a good pub for food within 10 minutes walk

Negativ Signage, we booked the night before, at the time of a road closure and this wasn’t mentioned in the booking confirmation. There are clear instructions with the booking that there is only one way in to the campsite with directions from north or south. It would have been helpful to know that the only way in was a road block and diversion sign but to ignore that to get to the campsite. Would have saved us at least half an hour.

Positiv Well kept site, the toilet blocks were very clean and the warden was very helpful and friendly

Negativ Dog walk area encroached on privacy of other campers as it circled around where people were camping.
Booked super pitch but electric hook up point was some distance from pitch so needed a very long cable to plug in not mentioned when booking.
The nearest place to eat was 0.9 miles way and being disabled was a struggle

Vom Platzbetreiber: I'm pleased that, overall, you agree with many other visitors that we provide a well-run site, however I'm disappointed regarding the aspects of the site you were not happy about.

1. On arrival, you were offered an extension power cable by our helpful Warden, which you chose to refuse. I think this is the first time in my 20 years of custodianship this has been reported as an issue.
2. Having checked with our Wardens, you didn't mention the 'pathway behind your pitch' issue during your 3 night stay. Had you done so, we would have been more than happy to offer you an alternative pitch and to help you to relocate your motorhome.
3. I believe that you must have missed the most local pub, The Castle, which, according to Google Maps and Ordnance Survey is 0.45 miles from the site. Again, if you had mentioned this to the Wardens at the time, you might have enjoyed a pleasant evening in a nice country pub.
