A nice site with level pitches
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked On entering we were greeted by the owners. They explained about the site and where everything was located. They also put us near the toilets as my wife was disabled. It was a very well kept site which wasn’t too big. Toilets were clean and fresh and even had a basket in case of women’s emergency bits which was thoughtful. Had water to every pitch also hedges for privacy. A nice little restaurant that seemed very popular, especially in the evenings for non residents as well. A good safety barrier for going in and out. I wanted to see what the fishing was like and told seeing as I was on site I could have discount per session.
Disliked Not disliked but thought the fishing was run by them but was where you could see the lake.you had to go through a gate and walk away from site to another lake and there was a proper tackle shop which was well stocked with everything you could think of and for fishermen like myself it was the best I’ve seen for a long time. This is where you could get your fishing ticket by booking. I fished the specimen lake but wasn’t very successful for the days I done but on speaking to others that were there they didn’t catch anything either.
In the toilets where you pulled paper out seems to get stuck as it’s where people were pulling from different places.

Great location with friendly staff and large pitched areas.
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Great reception, wonderful team who will answer any and all queries. Facilities clean, easy walk to reach and maintained regularly. Campers have large pitches to choose from. Short car ride to main town centre and close to coast line (short drive) for many popular beaches. Next to a lake that is a popular fishing spot.

Crantock camping pod
Liked Had a short but really nice stay. The pod was really cute and comfortable, and clean, as were the shower and wash facilities. Plenty of other facilities too like washing machines, communal freezer and a shower for cleaning off sandy wetsuits and dogs. The team seemed to have thought of everything, with a basket of tennis balls and spare poo bags even provided in the dog exercise field. Really close to lots of lovely beach locations. A great site and we hope to visit again.
