 We were using our sons 6 berth motor home to give our 4 grand children a mini holiday. We had no idea what to expect but pleased to say we were very impressed with the cleanliness of the shower and toilet blocks, and the entire site was well looked after. The pools were lovely and clean, unfortunately it was very windy and made the water quite cool, but that is not a fault of the site! The entertainment in the evening was good but we had little ones so not able to stay, we thought the drinks in the bar were reasonably priced. All members of staff were pleasant and helpful, it was an enjoyable 3 days, thank you.

We booked a pitch at this site on returning from France.
We were disappointed to find after paying £23.30 for a pitch to be parked on a bit of tarmac off site. Don't use this site for a ferry stopover, ! Ripp off! Use a lay by near the port.

Lovely secluded sight with very good clean facilities. I was a bit dubious about checking in as I had read that the owners were rude and they did not accept commercial vehicles. We have a VW T5 which was converted from new and as the website also says management reserve the right to refuse admission I was apprehensive as to whether we would be allowed to pitch up.
After being welcomed in a very friendly manner, even though we were a couple of hours early (we had set off at the crack of dawn to avoid traffic) we were told our pitch might not be free as checkout was not till eleven for current occupants, but if it was we could pitch our awning.
After finding the pitch empty we settled in and decided to go for a wander.
The surrounding area is lovely national trust owned woodland with fantastic cycle routes and walks. There were even designated cycle paths to take you into Plymouth centre. The pool is a bit dated and chilly but my daughter didn't seem to mind and she enjoyed the play area although this is quite near the site entrance. The shop does not stock perishables or alcohol as there is a large supermarket across the main road. Didn't use the bar but we did buy a couple of bags of chips and these were good. The other campers were extremely friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This is a great site and I would recommend it to all.

We found this site very easily it is well signposted off the roundabout. It has everything that is important yo us. Convenient for Park & Ride, picturesque walks even a Steam Railway close by(Sundays only) and good cycling tracks. Saltram House is worth a visit only a 20 minute walk away. The food in the Takeaway and Restaurant was very good the Bar stocks a decent range of beers and is not expensive as some sites can be. Facilities were well kept and abundant more than enough for a fairly full site(not a fan of the push button showers) but they worked very well water was always hot enough and didn't have to wait too long for the cold water to clear (sometimes a shock in the morning. Would definitely book again next time we are in the area.

We used this place as an overnight stay prior to an early ferry departure the next day. When we arrived reception said best to go in our 'overnight area' Ok we thought although it was pretty much a shabby tarmac car park with a few hook ups. All OK so far, but a bit miffed to pay top rates for a less than desirable pitch, but France beckoned the next day so what the heck. As the night progressed and the car park filled with guests for a birthday party in the adjacent clubhouse the noise increased and we had to also listen to a local singing act until nearly midnight, just what you want when you are setting alarm clocks for 6am. Then it appears that the toilets are used by local taxi drivers at any hour. Not the best night we have had in Plymouth, won't be using the site again, a shame as it is a nice location.

We are fairly new to caravanning and this was the first site we used and this visit was our third, we just love it here. Shower facilities warm and clean and they now have a purpose built wet room and toilet for the disabled (my husband registered disabled), this facility was an added bonus. They always give us a pitch close to all facilities, ie water, waste water and elsen points and of course the shower blocks and new disabled wet room. It's hard to believe that this site is so close to Plymouth City centre, you almost feel you are in the heart of the country. Shops, restaurants and pubs very close by and bus stop outside of site if required. Tried the takeaway on site, it was very good and all food cooked to order, and the same staff prepares food for restaurant so guess that would be good too. All staff very friendly and helpful, will definitely return.

We stayed for 3 nights at peak of hot weather. Found site to be clean, well-kept and attractive. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was one of the quietest sites we've stayed on in the evenings - one noisy family, but pretty much calm after 11. We were on a pitch without electricity - this was a bonus, as these are on the large grass area which is around the site (aerial view on website), so you get more space (the caravans and campervans are pretty close together and there are no hedges). Good shade options for tents. Pool lovely in the sunny weather. Can hear the main road, but not intrusive unless you like absolute quiet. Signposting off the A38 is really good - look for the brown tourist signs when you see the big Sainsburys!

Stayed for 2 nights whilst visiting friends in Plymouth. Had difficulty finding the site as the sat nav directions (and the directions on the website) take you to a road that is closed. After several circuits of the horrible marsh mills roundabout (and some swearing!) we found the site which is located up a quite lane by the river Plym. We had a very warm welcome at the reception but no one to show us to our pitch which was a shame as we had booked a grass pitch which was not well defined. My major criticism of the site would be that it feels very crowded. The pitches are small. The facilities are clean but a bit dated, lovely hot shower. We didn't use the swimming pool or clubhouse. It is a twenty minute walk to the March mill park and ride which is a much better option than driving into town in a campervan! So the location is good, it's quiet and peaceful but the welcome could be better and the pitches are too close together. The location is so good we would stay again

We spent a night here before taking the Roscoff ferry the following day.
I contacted the site and was pleasantly surprised that they had an area for those needing a stopover before moving on to the ferry the following day. We stayed overnight for one night but only left for the ferry at approx. 20:00hrs the charge was for one night only. The ferry area was part of the large tarmac car park but had EHU’s.
The site was well signed and access would have been easy except for the main access road being blocked and diversions in place. Entry to the site was straight forward, there wasn’t a stop marking for checking in so we parked on the car park which is immediately after reception. Reception was friendly and helpful, we were advised where we could set up and position of toilet blocks etc.
The pitch area we chose was level but the car park was a little uneven and perhaps the ferry area could have been marked with white lines. The visitors car park was not busy so we weren’t unduly disturbed by other campers who parked to have easy access to the nearby toilet block and small children’s playground.
The roads around the site didn’t have any obstructions and wide enough except for the occasional speed hump.
The facilities seemed quite good, a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, two toilet blocks and all was clean and tidy. There was no security barrier, the site was very quiet, as to be expected in mid-June.
There a few supermarkets nearby and of course the shops in Plymouth were an added attraction for my wife.
My impressions are a quiet but friendly site and I’d have no problem in using them again should I be in that area

What a lovely surprise. We visited this campsite about 10 years ago and were impressed and liked the atmosphere at this well kept site. Sadly my wife is now partly disabled and special shower facilities are important to us. This campsite has now a fully functional toilet and shower for disabled people with everything there and spotless clean. We wish to complement owners and staff with their facility and their care.

We visited this site on our way to and from France. We arrived on the Sunday and caught the 10pm ferry on the Monday so had to book 2 nights which is fair enough. However the road leading to the campsite had been closed off for some time but we were never notified/emailed regarding this. Once we phoned them they explained the situation and informed us of the alternative route. On arrival we were informed that there was no hot water except in the showers and there would be none till it was sorted on the Monday. Again these things happen. The part I find hard to swallow is when we returned for one night at 9pm having just come off the ferry, we were naturally allocated the late enclosure (part very uneven concrete, part newly laid stones to try and even it out) this was a free for all as there were too many units booked in. We were lucky to get an EHU I'm not sure everyone got one, also there could only have been 3 feet between each unit making it a fire hazard. We won't be back

Stayed at the site between Christmas and New Year to visit my parents, the recent weather had been very wet causing flooding and making this site very very wet! Whilst I appreciate the staff are not responsible for the weather I fail to see why the ridiculous decision had been made to close the toilet/shower block adjacent to the entry road in a concreted area and open the block situated in the middle of a quagmire (with cubicles locked so there was only limited facilities)!
The site has no security and has a public footpath running next to it with no fence so all and sundry can wander on site hence when my wife visited the toilet block after dark and it was only partially lit she felt very unsafe. Furthermore the toilet/shower blocks are in need of updating and heating.
On a personal note the pitches are far too close together for my liking, very cosy in the high season I would imagine.
We were booked in for 3 nights but as the site was so appalling we left after the first night and will not return!

Plymouth campsite was lovely. It was our first nights stay on a campsite on our journey from lands end to john o'groats and it served us well!
Not only were the toilet and shower facilities up to scratch and really lovely and clean, but the members of staff and the other people staying, were all lovely and really helpful. Considering we were two women putting up a big 6 man tent on our own for the first time!
Very impressed. Would come here again.

Visited Riverside for a couple of nights at the end of September 2013 in order to visit Plymouth.
Large site but it was quiet and we were on hard standing (pitch 54). Toilet / shower blocks aren't new but were clean and tidy and showers were good.
The site is down a long lane off an industrial estate but once on site you are not aware of the estate at all. (I should say we were there at the weekend so can't comment about weekdays).
Very handy for Plymouth - about 3 miles. It took us about 15 minutes to drive in. Being in a motorhome parking is always an issue but we found a car park called Elphinstone which is near the Barbican and only a couple of minutes walk to the Hoe. All day parking was £8. Going back to the site from Plymouth the satnav took us the wrong way. Be sure to follow the signs for Exeter!
Only dealt with staff at the site by telephone but they were very friendly and helpful.
Would definitely use this site again if in the area.

Excellent run site, very welcoming and helpful, Excellent bathrooms with great hot water and always clean. So quiet one can hear oneself breathing, situated amongst beautiful surroundings.
Great cycle rides for miles all amongst the forests and water.
An easy reach for local transport, situated very close to Sainsburys Super Market and easy reach of large outlets B&Q, PCworld.
Well positioned for the Dry Ski Slope.
