What customers say

Peaceful, spacious site next to a great gastro-pub. Pitches level, facilities clean but basic. Pub refunds pitch fees for meals, excellent value. Good base for exploring. Friendly vibe, but access roads can be narrow and toilets occasionally run out of paper or have broken locks.

Sophie B.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Friendly staff. Shower was nice and warm. Level pitches. Good food at the pub. Wifi good even across the field.

Disliked toilets across a small road/lane. Not a problem for most as very infrequent traffic but you wouldn’t send a younger child to the toilet unaccompanied due to the possibility of traffic. Camp field itself is safe though and our children played out happily all evening. Electricity £7 a night extra which seemed quite steep for a tent when we are only running a little camper fridge and charging our phones.

Liked pitch was ok, once the grass was cut, the pub was idealy located, and staff seemed to be on the ball

Disliked food very expensive for pub style food, long delay in getting food after ordering, no cutlery with food and then had to wait for items that were missing. it wasnt a busy evening. there appeared to be a shortage of staff on every visit and long delays

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”).
