 Another lovely visit here on our way to Cornwall. Love this site toilets small but clean showers, loos, basins and one privacy cubicle. There is wash up area and a washing machine {I did not use washer}. Site office sells bits and pieces and will get papers milk and bread if ordered. The owners area a lovely coupe. A well laid out site with grass and hard standings with camping pitches at the bottom of the site. With a porta loo. There is a gate there that takes you onto a walking / cycle path we walked to the quaint Highway Man pub. A must just to see the interior they do lunches, not sure about evening meals. On one of our visits we took the bus to Oakhampton. There is a pub at site entrance that does food. We ate there very nice and lovely staff. We will be back.

 Very convenient location for a one night stop en route to Cornwall. However, we were disappointed as the water main tap was turned off and The Prewley Arms next door was shut, with no indication was was going on, and whether it was shut permanently - great shame as we had been hoping to eat there, based on comments on this site. The A30 is right next door to the site and very noisy 24/7, but could forgiven as the location is so good. Didn't use the shower block, but other half reported it was very chilly, and the push button showers required re-setting every 30 seconds.

Reviewer: Dillon1329 1 review from this member

 Friendly clean site good dog walk nearby. Only downside showers are appalling press button does not stay on for more than 3 seconds 20p for hair dryer and very expensive wifi. Other camp sites in area are cheaper. However very good site well maintained and welcoming. Very convenient for area pub next door well spaced pitches if not for shower and wifi it would be perfect.

 Spent 3 nights here (the second time we've been to this site).

Just off the A30 dual carriageway near Oakhampton. The road is quite noisy but earplugs at night solve the problem.

This site has so much to offer. Despite the A30 there is a peaceful atmosphere about the site. It is right next to the Granite way cycle way which is ideal for walkers. It is on the edge (quite literally) of Dartmoor which is about a 5 minute walk. The Granite way goes for miles and miles and is wide enough for walkers and cyclists to enjoy. The views of Dartmoor are lovely.

It is central to Devon and Cornwall, ie Torquay an easy drive, Plymouth and places such as Bude an easy day out.

The owners are as nice as any and the pitches are well laid out and spacious.

This bank holiday it was full but everyone had plenty of spaces on their pitches. No chance of the owners allowing overcrowding here.

The Pewley Arms is next door and a lovely pub offering meals and B & B too.

Our son lives in Launceston and we've stayed at lots of sites in the area. This is the best location and friendliness. A small site that welcomes young and old, family and pets. Certainly one we will regularly stay at as much for the handiness of the location and that easy walking access to Dartmoor.

Reviewer: Msf1970 5 reviews from this member

 This site is well located very close to the A30, the traffic noise was not really noticeable.

The shower and toilet facilities were good but a bit dated and a fair walk at the top end of the site.

The site has a mixture of hard standing and grass pitches and nearly all have EHU. There is also a tent area at the bottom end of the park

We were only staying for 1 night in June and there were only 2 other pitches in use. I really could not see why it was so underused as the value for money, location and facilities were all good.

Reviewer: Skipjess 9 reviews from this member

 A very nice site right on the edge of Dartmoor and near to the main A30 (slightly noisy and could be off putting to some).

Plenty of fairly flat good sized hard standings and many more grassy areas all with EHU.

Nice toilet and shower facilities at one end of a fairly long narrow site so quite a walk from the furthest pitches.

Water and disposal areas scattered along the site so no problem there.

A very nice dog and people walk at one end of the site using an old railway track as a foot / cycle path out onto the moors. 


Date of Visit: April 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: SteveNLiz 3 reviews from this member

 Just returned from our 4 night stay, used this site purely as a base while visiting relatives in Okehampton.

Friendly owners. A good quiet site that's lovely and clean, pitches ample sized. Good dog walking close by.

Shower block and surrounding area tired and shabby. Plenty of hot water available but shower cubicles sharing curtain between two strung up contraption! Not really good enough especially as all collapsed on one occasion. Heating in shower block was not on when we used the showers and considering it was a chilly weekend in April - made it very cold when getting dry! The area outside the shower blocks looks very uncared for - all in all these need modernising & tidying up.

Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 Handy site travelling to or from Cornwall being just off the A30. As others have said nice, clean site with modern showers and good hardstanding pitches, also found the lady in reception to be somewhat vague. Okehampton can be cycled to or walked to using the cycle path at the bottom of the site, we walked there (about hour and a half) and caught the last bus back at 7pm which drops off not far from the site. The pub by the site entrance does nice food and a couple of real ales but only opens at weekends. Paid £16/night for two with ehu.

 First time we used this site and it was just lovely.

Nice flat pitches, toilets and showers very clean and hot water!. Great place to stay or as we did just stopover.

There is a pub next door which did very good food at reasonable prices with nice friendly staff. Opening ours wer a bit confusing but luckily for us it was open when we arrived

Its is close to the main A30 which does give a little noise but not intrusive. Very reasonable rates. The people running the site were very, very helpful.

The site is very clean and well kept,

 Great site for a stop over, travelling to or from Cornwall.

We stopped one night. Toilet block clean and tidy, did not use shower but they seemed to be very busy. Traffic noise not too intrusive.

Nice shop on site they took orders for newspapers. Pub next to site had odd hours so did not use, but there was another pub about a mile from site on a nice walk/cycle path so I was informed, a bit far for OH.

Would use again. Lovely flat pitches with electric hook up lovely barbecue area with chairs and tables well thought out.
