What customers say

Great friendly campsite, with helpful staff & good food. Kids loved the covered play area. Some pitches a bit close to the clubhouse, and facilities could do with a spruce-up. Good base for exploring.

Powered grass tent site

Liked Loved it, definitely will be back again, the location is perfect you are between 30 minutes to an hour if everything , amazing beaches dog friendly as well, clean tidy campsite, the staff are amazing they will do anything to help you all you got to do is ask, they are amazing people highly recommend going there. They understand what it’s like having children and having big family and just how hard it can be but they helped us out a lot when we needed it. Honest amazing people. If your wanting to go away to somewhere you won’t have young children running around being loud or late at night when kids are doing last minute toilet run before bed a bit of dirt on the floor then this most definitely is not a site for you. The toilet/shower rooms was cleaned three times a day I had seen this myself. Honestly give this site 10/10. Beautiful people.

Liked I booked this site as I wanted my children to experience a different holiday than the usual arcades, swimming pool etc. I originally booked an electric grass tent pitch but bought a motorhome, and swapped to an electric hardstanding pitch.
I can honestly say there is not a bad thing I can say about this site. It's in the perfect location for exploring both Devon and Cornwall, with Bude sea pool less than 30 mins away.
The pub onsite serves delicious home cooked food, and the drinks are reasonably priced. It also has entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights, which I enjoyed singing and dancing to. The toilets were spotless and the showers were spacious, without a push button in sight.
There is a sheltered park for the kids, as well as games and even dressing up. I felt safe letting my children play onsite without having to worry about where they were.
From the minute I arrived onsite Paula and Marc were the perfect hosts and all the staff were really friendly, I was made to feel like part of the family and nothing was any trouble. We can't wait to come back

From the manager: We’re really sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your stay with us.

When guests arrive, we provide a welcome letter with a map to their pitch, site rules, and a 24-hour phone number so we can be contacted at any time if there are any problems. We always do our best to help — for example, another couple in a tourer asked to be moved away from the tents for a quieter spot, and we were happy to accommodate them.

As a family-run park, we do get very busy in the summer with families and children, and we also advertise weekend entertainment which many guests enjoy. We appreciate this may not be for everyone, and we’re always grateful when guests give us the chance to resolve concerns during their stay.

We take all feedback seriously, even when it’s difficult to understand what went wrong. While many visitors leave us glowing reviews, we’ll reflect on your comments as we continue working hard to provide the best experience we can.
Sincerely Chapmanswell Team.

Local attractions

The only issue with staying close to the Devon/Cornwall border is the possibility of being overwhelmed by options for days out… so perhaps it’s sensible to start somewhat local with a visit to Launceston Castle (10 minutes’ drive) or a day of meeting cute creatures at the Tamar Otter & Wildlife Centre (15 minutes)? Alternatively, of course, you could set forth straight away for the seaside – there’s so much fab coastline around here but you’ll likely find some of the highlights to be the beaches and surf schools of Bude (25 minutes) and Widemouth Bay (half an hour). If you’re more into strolling along cobbled lanes, the fishing villages of Boscastle (the one with the witches museum) and Port Isaac (the one where they filmed Doc Martin) are both within a 45-minute drive. Other coastal spots to check out include Tintagel Castle (40 minutes), a place of much Arthurian legend, and the maritime city of Plymouth (55 minutes), home to the UK’s largest aquarium and a stonking gin distillery.
