What customers say
Great riverside views and a historic mining town nearby. Friendly staff and a good pub. However, facility feedback varies: some found toilets/showers clean and hot, others noted issues with water, cleanliness, and dated, spread-out amenities. Spotty Wi-Fi (pub only) and poor cell service.

Really great site to watch the river
Primitive gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Site in the heart of the historic quay, right by the river. Flat field, pitch anywhere. Great for watching people paddle up from Calstock, swallows darting. Free entry to museum buildings. Quiet campsite, only 3 units on Thursday, 6 as the weekend started.
On arrival, no signage for the site so go into the shop to check in. No phone signal
Disliked Not a problem for us but the facilities are spread out in different directions. It took some time to find the water and washing up area. Public toilets spotless & new.
Great to have pub & shop.
Very high tides during our stay, need to advise campers as we had to move a tent for absent owner that would have been completely waterlogged

We will use again, as very peaceful
Primitive gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice site with good facilities. Toilets clean and well kept. Showers are hot and powerful.
Nice pub and good food. Staff really friendly and helpful. Museum and various places to visit on site which were informative although a bit run down. Very relaxing and quite place as we had the site to ourselves. Worth a visit for the night.
Disliked No WiFi unless in pub. Bit of a walk to toilets etc and no lights at night.

Would not recommend- not camping ready!
Primitive grass and gravel tent or trailer tent campsite
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.
