Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Peaceful and relaxed. Very nice food in the pub, a bit expensive but higher standard than usual pub grub and they do refund Campsite fees (excluding EHU) for each night you eat in the pub.

Dawn B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Nice quite small site ideal for a relaxing weekend away with the option for a beer and food in the pub

Disliked: When washing pots in the outside sink there was no roof so you get wet when it rains or anywhere to put your pots. A light needs to be put next to the first shower block as you can’t see the coded lock when it’s dark. No signage to let you know where the campsite was only signage for the pub

Local attractions

Exploring Bodmin Moor could not be easier. A two-hour circular hike takes in the rugged peak of Brown Willy from Rough Tor Car Park (20 minutes’ drive), or you can yomp up to the Neolithic remains at Leskernick and Trippet stone circles (both 15 minutes). There are gentler strolls through the conifer forest at Halvana Plantation (10 minutes). Try a day on the zipwires and giant swings at Adrenalin Quarry (40 minutes), or go trekking with alpacas on Bodmin Moor. Surfers may want to head straight for Newquay’s famed Fistral Beach (50 minutes), but there are plenty more temptations on Cornwall’s spectacular north coast. Head for Tintagel (25 minutes) to unravel the mysteries of King Arthur at its clifftop castle, or have a ramble around the twisting streets and whitewashed cottages of pretty Port Isaac (half an hour), which doubles as Portwenn on TV’s “Doc Martin”).
