 Stayed for a weekend which turned out to be the local music festival that saturday.
We were given a warm and helpful welcome. We were given a choice of pitches and shown to the selected pitch. Full knowledge of what sun and satelite reception were imparted.
We were in the field behind the main field and it was nicely laid out our pitch was level! bonus.
Toilet block was very clean and tidy. Didn't have to queue which was good as the site was pretty full. Cant comment on the tent area as we didn't take a look.
The music night was saturday and sounded very good beleived it finished about 11pm.
This gave way to the odd owl hooting before over taken by the woman in the pitch next to us bearing in mind the decent distance between units who was one of these women who loved the sound of her own voice.
Just makes me chuckle that some people still cant grasp that canvas/caravan offer no sound proofing.
Still that paved the way nicely for my usual nights battle to get to sleep before my other half sadly as she was so relaxed already from the feel of this site. I had no chance.
We will be returning to recharge our batteries.

We had a lovely week at lydford site. The wardens were very helpful and good for a laugh. The toilets were always spotless.
There is a lovely dog walk around the outer edge of the site, the grass was always trimmed with a seat half way to sit and admire the view.
The granite way cycle path starts in the village and goes for eleven miles to oakhampton station.
The castle pub in the village is a good place for a meal, and it is dog friendly.
The site is easy to find and as a good access via a barrier.
The reception as a small shop for essentials.

This is a delightful site. We were made very welcome and shown to our pitch, which was an almost level hard standing with EHU. We found the site quiet, except for the bleeting of lambs and the odd squawk of pheasants! The toilets and showers were clean and the water hot. The site is a short walk from Lydford Gorge, which is well worth a visit. My only minor concern was that some pitches were a little small. We would certainly return to this site.

And yes we used this site again! Good stop over point for us on the way to Cornwall.
Again wonderful friendly helpful staff and views across to Dartmoor from our pitch.
The Granite Way is now complete, so no road cycling at all. All off road all the way to Okehampton, though there is one section that is not always open (open at landowners discretion) but the diversion is over moorland and not on the road.
The only downside to this site is that you have to stay a minimum of 2 night.

Wonderful site. Very clean, very friendly with facilities I'd be 100% happy to have a home. The toilets and shower are very clean and very tidy, as is the washing up facility. The people that run the site are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble for them. The location although pretty is not ideal for elderly people to walk to the village.

Have just returned from a couple of nights at this lovely site on the outskirts of Lydford.
We were warmly received and quickly shown to a selection of pitches choosing one with great views over the moors. The site is well kept, neat and tidy with plenty of flower tubs, the toilets are clean but a little dated.
There are no nearby shops but milk, papers, ice creams and a few basics are available in the site shop.
There is plenty of walking direct from the site, we chose to walk the Gorge (National Trust so there is a charge). There is a nice café at the entrance to the gorge (about 15 minute walk from the site). The village also has a pub with a lovely beer garden, the bar is a bit small but there is a restaurant area as well. Dogs allowed in the bar area.
Lovely site and we will definitely use it again.

Just returned from a fantastic break at Lydford Caravan & Camping Park we enjoyed heat wave weather which was delightful. We received a warm welcome with plenty of information and helpful advice from the site managers and their team. The site is in Dartmoor really beautiful with lovely views, is very quiet and peaceful with it's many ancient hedgerows being the home of common and unusual song birds. The showers and toilets are spotless and the water is warm and plentiful. We enjoyed plenty of time in the national park with it's many beauty spots and easy access parking with the camper van. West Devon's towns are not the easiest for camper van parking however we managed to park legally with a bit of care. The village of Lydford with pub, church, castle and famous gorge are within walking distance.
The site is about an hours drive from the north Devon and north Cornwall coast and we enjoyed a lovely day on the beach and in the magical town of Tintagel.
If you are looking for peace and quiet and a restful holiday this is the site for you. We will return.

We have just spent a warm and wonderful weekend at Lydford, a return visit for us.
With the site being just an hour from home for us it's great for the odd long weekend away, although I would happily spend more time there! The site is split into 3 separate sections, each with various types of pitches and some with fantastic views over Dartmoor.
On arrival, check-in was simple, quick, efficient and friendly - just how it should be. You are given lots of information about the site and things to do locally. Daily papers can be ordered from reception for collection each day for a 10p delivery charge (per day). There are no shops in the local area but the on-site shop does stock the odd essential if you run out.
We were offered a choice of pitches and looked after very well by one of the friendly wardens who took us to our chosen pitch.
There is a central toilet/shower block that was spotless at all times and has privacy cubicles in the ladies. This block also houses a laundry at one end and an under-cover wash up area at the other that also doubles up as the information room. There is an extensive dog walk on site and it's probably one of the prettiest we've come across.
The village of Lydford has its own pub (The Castle Inn) and offers a good selection of food (we ate on site this time!) and local real ales and cider. It also has the ruins of an old castle, a church and Lydford Gorge (National Trust), all worth a visit. The Granite Way cycle trail also runs from just outside the village along the old railway line, approximately 11 miles to Okehampton, with a small on-road section through the pretty Devon village of Bridestowe. There are at least 3 pubs en-route too!
Another lovely stay at Lydford. A great campsite, in a wonderfully peaceful area (we even heard a daytime owl hooting!) with plenty to do - what more could you want? We'll be back again and again.

Stayed at this site for 2 nights and had warm sunny weather as a bonus. Having visited Lydford village and gorge previously we knew the location is good for walking etc. The views from this site are excellent but I was a little disappointed with the shower facilities in that although clean were quite dated. I also felt that the ceilings desperately need painting as mold was evident above the showers. Had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would consider returning. Visited the Castle Inn for a spot of lunch and found the food to be average pub food and nothing more. Probably wouldn't bother eating there again.

This is a bit of a gem.
We booked at the last minute for a couple of days during a very cold Easter. The web site wouldn't accept our booking the night before but a phone call before setting off the following morning secured us a pitch. It's well signed and easily found from the A386. Check in was simple with the bonus of good tourist information. Despite the weather the site was well filled but we were able to select a good, level, stoned pitch close to the facilities block. There was a good EHU and the pitch was just about within reach of the (free) wi-fi. There's a better signal in the laundry room with its own dedicated desk, not to mention some impressive looking washing machinery.
The showers were warm (both air and water temperature) and clean with plenty of supplementary wash basins and a handy warm-air hand dryer. Decent washing-up facilities are provided. Basic groceries (including chilled) are available in the site office and there's a newspaper ordering service. For us motorhomers there is the added bonus of a proper service point with drive-over grey waste drain as well as a water point.
We weren't in the area long but had chance to do the Lydford Gorge walk (National Trust; entrance fee payable), only about half a mile from the site, which is scenically impressive and has the bonus of the Castle Inn for a pint on the way back to the van. The Dartmoor Way passes the site entrance and we used part of it on the way to Bridestowe, rewarded by a decent lunch at the White Hart. We also strolled along a bit of the footway/cyclepath on the line of the former railway just to the east of Lydford.
So - a well-equipped and friendly site with lots to see and do nearby. Everyone we spoke to on the site - staff and visitors - was friendly and cheerful; quite an achievement considering how cold it was. At under 22GBP (2 adults + pitch) per night we were well pleased and will be back.
