What customers say
A welcoming, family-run site with friendly staff. Guests enjoyed clean facilities, good food, and entertainment, with the kids' covered play area a highlight. Some found facilities dated and pitches near the noisy clubhouse, but the location's great for exploring.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Spacious flat field, not too far away from restaurant or bathrooms. Food on site was absolutely delicious. Very family friendly and hosts were so pleasant and welcoming. Bathroom facilities were always clean and shower lovely and hot. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely return!

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.
The owner was very helpful.…
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked The owner was very helpful.
Disliked The noise from the bar, going on so late at night. People screaming and arguing after midnight. If you want to party its the place to go. If you want quite would not recommend.

From the manager: Sorry to hear you had trouble with a neighbour in a tent. We did speak with them the next day, and he apologised — he’d travelled long hours in heavy holiday traffic and was trying to put his tent up in the dark. We did explain, however, that it isn’t acceptable to be arguing that late at night and disturbing other guests.
We do advertise our summer entertainment in advance — with music on Fridays and Saturdays, plus karaoke nights. As a family site, we are naturally very busy during the school holidays, so it isn’t always the quietest time of year. That said, outside of peak season the park is peaceful and relaxing, and many guests choose to return in September once the children are back at school.
Sincerely Chapmanswell Team.
Cheap as chips
Powered grass tent site
Liked Spacious pitch as some were occupied by tents 3 times the size of ours plus windbreaker fencing forming private areas.
Disliked No surprise to anyone, the showers & toilets were / are insufficient, in number, in poor condition and quite frankly grubby not fit for purpose.
The club doubles as the area pub and was mostly frequented by locals.
Loud and lively..
The drive to anything was a bit tedious therefore not really convenient for us.
Shared electricity off spur extensions is not ideal.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review, and yes we probably could do with a service point.

Really well priced little site, perfect for children and families.
Powered grass tent site
Liked Great site, all the facilities you need.
Great little club house which had a great food menu and great prices on drinks, entertainment and a pool table.
Really family oriented campsite.
Great location for exploring north Cornwall and Devon.
The owners and staff cannot do enough for you, so friendly.
Great under cover park for the children.
Tuck shop open on the evenings.
Spacious pitches.
Shop onsite.
Laundrette.
Literally everything you need
People need to remember the price you pay to stay here, it’s VERY reasonable, I’ve paid more and got a LOT less!!
If you want arcades for the kids, swimming pool and full kids entertainment schedule then this isn’t the site for you.
If you want a lovely family oriented relaxed site with great food/drink a friendly welcome and loads of space for your children to be children in a perfect location to explore Devon and Cornwall, then give Chapmans a try.
Disliked Coming home!!!

Liked Friendliness, electric was grate to say 5 tents were using the same point
Disliked Not much for kids entertainment wise maybe need to state the club house is just a pub not entertainment for children, come night time it was just locals on site who aint staying there getting drunk

Liked Nice place friendly people
Disliked I had food in the clubhouse which has given me food poisoning so the rest of my holiday isn’t going well at all
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Louise. Thank you for your comments about the site and the people.
We are sorry that your holiday is not going to plan.
We do however dispute that you got food poisoning from eating here. You were only here for one night, arriving late as I recall. On the evening in question, we served over 30 covers — including tables of up to 12 people — and did not receive a single complaint from any other guest. In fact, many of those diners returned the very next day for more food.
We take great pride in the quality, freshness, and preparation of our dishes, and have consistently received compliments from our customers. While we are sorry to hear that you have been unwell, there is no indication from any other guest’s that evening, that there was any issues with the food served.
If you would like to discuss this further, please contact us directly with more details so we can look into your concerns fully
