Non-electric grass and gravel tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Travelled with 13yo daughter. Location is scenic and quirky as part of the mining village. Close to the river made for lovely pictures. Scenic valley. Martin, the train driver and who showed us around was utterly lovely and deserves a mention as does the Ship Inn - lovely food and great service from the team!

Disliked: Lots. No cold water stands for fresh water, designated camping site was under 2ft of long grass so we were given a choice of 2 places to pitch.. but ended up choosing to pitch near the “amenities”……. The toilet block was awful, one toilet was completely obstructed as it was being used as a store room. The trough like sink was filthy and had no hot water but that didn’t matter as we couldn’t use it anyway! See photos. There was lights hanging over the toilet doors so had to move them before being able to have privacy, there was also a job lot of bamboo in there !? The showers were old stone outbuildings that had been converted but first we had to locate the boiler to enable hot water! Once sorted, we tried.. and failed to find some fresh water .. just as well we had bottled. In the pictures they show camping around the quay, we were the only people here and that wasn’t an option and to be fair it was too far away from the toilet facilities so would only suite campers with your own set up. Staying there for £40 per night is NOT worth the view! I’ve stayed in better for cheaper.

Local attractions

The Tamar Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and as such has oodles of woodlands, valleys and watery vistas to discover. If you want to check out every twist and turn of the Tamar on a self-powered paddle, head to the nearby village of Calstock (15 minutes' drive) and hire a canoe or kayak. Fans of long walks will want to dash off to nearby Dartmoor (15 minutes) for hikes across open country and the chance to meet semi-wild ponies. A stranger to these parts? Head 10 minutes down the road to the visitor centre in Tavistock to get your bearings. For those who like their landscapes less rugged, this part of the world has a brill bunch of well-tended National Trust properties, including Buckland Abbey (15 minutes), Cotehele House (20 minutes) and Saltram Park (40 minutes). Plymouth (35 minutes) makes another top choice for a family-friendly day trip. Head down here for great sea views at Hoe Park, marine adventures at the National Marine Aquarium or saltwater swims free of sand and seaweed at Tinside Lido. If traveling with tots who need to let off some steam, check out Treasure Island activity park in the city centre for miniature golf, trampolines and digger rides galore.
