 We love this site and tend to use it in August as it's close to home for us (45/50 minutes away) and it's just so quiet and peaceful.
We'd had booked 2 nights with friends and asked to be pitched together, which we were. Lovely large pitches in Lyd Field, with trees for shade (much needed during Summer 2026!). Water and bins including recycling very close to our pitches.
Efficient and very friendly check in. Wardens always had a smile.
Toilets/showers great and always spotless. Indoor washing up sinks, small amount of information housed in there and a separate laundry.
Great little shop on site selling local meat, local ice creams, essentials, beer/wine/cider, amongst many other things.
WiFi is chargeable here but my 4G signal worked fine.
Lovely dog walk on site with stunning views of the moors and tors!
Lots of walks locally (site email you maps/details before arrival which is really useful). 10 minute stroll down to the local pub (The castle Inn). It's really popular so booking a table would be advised and it's really easy via their website.
We'd booked a table for 4 (plus dogs) in their beautiful beer garden (under the tent). Outside bar worked really well, very efficient. Food reasonably priced and the pizzas were really good. Great choice of local beers and ciders on tap.
Small castle and beautiful church next door to the pub and another short walk takes you to Lydford Gorge (National Trust).
Dark skies and peace and quiet at night - what more could you need?

I have stayed here a couple of times now whilst walking the Dartmoor way.
The staff have always been welcoming, kind and polite.
The site is well organised, clean and tidy.
I always judge a site by their showers. So: 10/10!
Thank you for a nice stay! See you again.

Welcoming and attentive wardens showed us to our pitch on this lovely quiet and well kept site just outside the village of Lydford.
The facilities were very clean and a small shop on site in the reception office looked well stocked.
Just a short walk into the village where there is a pub with great food. Walking further on there is the NT Lydford Gorge. It had been very wet prior to our visit so the gorge, waterfall and Devil's Cauldron were spectacular.
We only booked 1 night here as it was site no. 10 of a 14 site tour but I wished we were staying longer as a bus trip into Tavistock appealed. It looked lovely when we drove through it en-route.
The only downside was that the Wifi was an additional charge and this site was not in the cheap category.

We were so lucky last week as weather was perfect. We had booked ahead and told the site that our motor mover was broken.
On arrival the lovely wardens direct us to a pitch that was easy to access, but they said that if we preferred another they would happily oblige.
The site is very quiet and the facilities are absolutely spotless. Bins are always emptied and there is now a new arrivals office with an excellent shop.
This is our "go to site" and we only wish that we could find a look-alike site elsewhere. I should mention that we have 2 dogs and the dog walk is lovely with a super view over to the moor.
The site is family owned and having chatted to one of the owners, they are constantly improving - but for us there is no need.
There is a pub within walking distance which serves food 7 days a week and is dog friendly. We will be back.

Excellent site. Very friendly and knowledgable wardens.
It was our third visit but it won't be our last.

This is our "go to" site as it ticks all our boxes. We travel from the New Forest area so Dartmoor is perfect for us to walk with our 2 cocker spaniels.
The site wardens are so welcoming and always seem to be busy ensuring that the facilities are kept spotlessly clean, bins are emptied and grass kept mown - albeit difficult when it has been so wet.
We opted for a hard standing fully serviced pitch and it was so peaceful during our stay.
The dog walk is excellent and the view over to the moor is stunning during all sorts of weather.
There is a handy pub, The castle Inn, within an easy walk where we had a lovely welcome and it is dog friendly throughout plus there is a bus service which again is very close to the site.
We will definitely be back.

Lovely quiet well kept site on the edge of the village.
Toilets & showers very clean, good service point for my motorhome.
Small shop on site selling just the very basics.
Lovely pub (castle inn) just a short stroll away, approximately a 10 minute walk, great food.
Went on one of the walks that was provided by the site itself with a detailed description of the route, my 2 spaniels loved it!
Caught the bus into Tavistock, beautiful little town, Would return.

Really great site. We were welcomed on arrival and led immediately to our pitch.
The wardens were really friendly throughout our stay, opening and closing the barrier.
We loved the flexibility as we asked for a late leave and were offered a very reasonable extra charge.
The toilets and showers were clean.
My single (very small) gripe was the push button on the shower in the gents was quite quick to shut off.
All in all a very nice and welcoming site.

Booked on website for “small hardstanding” pitch, perfect for a campervan. Very efficient check in; they saw us approach the gate and led us straight to our allocated pitch. We later saw their planning board with arrivals all listed and suggested pitches.
2 main areas with hardstanding pitches (various sizes) and some grass for tents. Additional terraced field with some hookups and space for tents.
One facilities block, recently extended with new wash-up (3 or 4 large sinks) and info room. Toilets and showers spacious and always clean. Only gripe is push-button showers. Otherwise very good.
Efficient warden team of two couples, with good local knowledge and walk sheets available.
A few hundred yards from village centre, with bus routes and walking from the door.
A lovely stay with good facilities and staff. Would recommend.

We've just come home from a fantastic 3 nights staying at Lydford.
Having previously stayed here we knew what to expect but it's got better!
Wonderful welcome from the assistant wardens, they could not have been nicer. Had lots of interaction with the main wardens too and again they were brilliant. All 4 of them are a credit to both the campsite and the CAMC.
Lovely hardstanding pitch close to everything we needed, water, waste, bins, recycling, etc.
Had the sun literally all day, and also had trees at the rear of the pitch for shade so literally perfect.
New (to us) facilities block were spotless at all times.
The dog walk (even though we no longer have a dog) is stunning, just for the views of Dartmoor alone.
Easy walk into the village. Castle Inn is lovely, but was constantly busy when we visited so only had drinks. Also food menu looked expensive! The gorge is a short walk (downhill) from the pub too and worth a visit for the 3 mile riverside walk to the waterfall (even though we'd not had a lot of rain).
The Granite Way cycle path runs from the village down into Okehampton with the Pump & Pedal worth a coffee stop on the way.
There are buses from the village to both Okehampton and Tavistock although we didn't use them as we just walked and biked all weekend.
As this site is only a 45 minute drive from home for us we hope to be regulars!
One word sums it up. PERFECT.
