  • Roomy lakeside site with boat and bank fishing
  • A short drive from Liskeard and to the smugglers' site of Jamaica Inn
  • Lakeside café, birdwatching, walking and a three-mile cycle path
Bordered by the tors and moors of Bodmin, Siblyback Lake Country Park is a roomy, rural lakeside site with a lakeside café serving snacks and light meals. Around the water, there is excellent birdwatching and walking territory; a pretty three-mile cycle path (fully accessible to wheelchair users) snakes around the lake to make the best of the spectacular views. For fisherfolk, there is both boat and bank fishing available; float tubes are allowed when paired up. Siblyback's lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout, which will be good news for keen anglers. The site is family-friendly, and there's plenty for kids to do, whether it's introducing them to fishing for the first time or exploring the lake on foot or by bicycle Nearby Bodmin is the highest and most sparsely populated area of Cornwall, a land of myth and mystery. Close to Siblyback are Dozmary Pool, alleged to be the final resting place of King Arthur’s Excalibur, and the moody Hurlers, three stone circles reputedly formed when a group of men who dared to play games on the Sabbath Day were turned to stone.

What customers say

Beautiful, tranquil site with roomy spots & great views. Dog field a plus. Staff are helpful, showers excellent, and it's near the beach. Some minor shower temp/time issues noted. One guest had a pitch canceled last minute for an event, receiving a refund but no extra compensation.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Josh at the activity centre was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely beautiful location. Nice large tent pitches and very well maintained. We stayed for our sons 30th Birthday and all our family came down and tried fly fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking it was brilliant.

Disliked Had to get the codes from Josh on arrival for the main gate and shower block as these weren’t sent to us. Showers were a bit cold. This was minor and did not detract from our lovely stay.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked N/A

Disliked Booked a pitch 4 February 2026 as part of a charity Land's End to John O'Groats in June.

6 days before, my pitch was cancelled due to a large event taking place.

Disappointing doesn't touch it, the owner clearly had no integrity or care for anyone else.

The phone call from Josh, promised a refund and compensation. I received my funds back but no compensation.

I question is this the level of service you would expect to receive yourself?

Primitive cement/asphalt RV campsite

Liked Spacious to park not on top of one another , peaceful , beautiful scenery and ten minutes walk from the beach - really well kept site

Disliked Showers 50p for five minutes- not the case both mine were 54 seconds - get why you pay but should get what it states - stopped midway through hair wash and no more change with me ! Small drawback

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great first camping experience for my and my two boys.

Local attractions

Other potential trips include a tour of the global greenery under the massive domes of the Eden Project, which lays on special activities for kids in the summer holidays, including circus skills, den building and water play, and a visit to the highest pub in Cornwall in the neighbouring village of Minions. Also visit the seaside resort of Looe, two towns in one linked by a bridge over an inlet where you can watch the fishing boats bring in their catch, or the fishing village of Polperro, where cars are banned from the narrow streets. As well as the many great beaches nearby, kids might like a day at Crealy Adventure Park, meeting the animals, scrambling around the play areas, and being spun around and splashed about on the rides.
