Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Great location just off A30 to break journey to Cornwall with lots of great things to see locally (Granite Way, Meldon Viaduct, Lydford Gorge). Facilities clean. Helpful staff.
Disliked: Shower/toilet facilities a little tired and a long way from some pitches. It is close to the A30 - so traffic noise might be an issue to some but didn't really notice it once inside the campervan with the doors shut.

Liked: All of the site very clean, lovley warn welcome, excellent walks and cycle rides on the door step, the pub / cycle shop next door did excellent food and coffee. Good size pitches with plenty of room. Will go back again for sure.
Disliked: Only one thing, the doors on the showers were not the best, wooden staple door, that's the only thing.
