Lovely location
Fenwick Trout Fishery
Excellent central location and just minutes away from the Camel Trail. There is some slight road noise, but did not impact on our stay at all. All pitches are hardstanding and have EHU. There are plenty of water taps, but these are shared between pitches. There is no toilet on site. More signage is required on this site so arrivals can work out the pitch numbers as some were confused. Instructions of where to dispose of the toilet waste also required as this was not clear. Be aware of the sharp turn left if approaching from Bodmin direction, easy to do, but you need to be prepared. Overall, a lovely site, but just needs a little bit of thought for those that have never been before.

Conflicting information...
Fenwick Trout Fishery
When we arrived at the site, we collected our handout from the house door as instructed and used the key code to gain entry to the site. First off, our paperwork stated that we were due to be on pitch 3 though that had been changed to read "Not Pitch 3, Pitch 2".Then expecting the CL to have exclusive use of the toilet facilities we were informed on the handout that " We have decided to close the toilet facilities. Please only use the toilet as an empty point for sanitation purposes." Had we been told that when booking, we probably would have gone elsewhere! OK, yes the plots are a good size and level but if you wish to pitch an awning remember to pack steel pins - the hardstanding prohibits the use of aluminium or plastic pegs. The riverside setting is nice but as others have said, the traffic noise from vehicles negotiating the s-bend and bridge is non-stop. For 2 of the 3 nights we were there, we were the only people on site - which suited us! It was fascinating to watch the robot lawn mower trimming the grass under the trees and seeing a pair of (Canada?) geese with 3 gosling by the lake. All in all, a pleasant site but it could do with a bit more of a personal touch.
Very pretty but noisy
Fenwick Trout Fishery
Lovely site on the banks of the river. Once the traffic stopped it was a lovely spot. It's very close to the Camel Trail so excellent for cycling, although it's pretty hairy crossing the road to get to it. Facilities are very basic, ie toilet for toilet waste emptying only but electricity and water shared between sites. We scraped the barnacles of the van's bottom on leaving and turning left. Not sure we could have avoided it in an 8m motorhome.
Perfect site for cycling trips
Fenwick Trout Fishery
We have just returned from 2 very enjoyable nights at this site. The site is perfectly maintained in stunning grounds, surrounded by woodland. Hardstanding areas are wide, flat and individual with small hedges dividing adjacent pitches and plenty of water standpipes. We were fortunate to have the site to ourselves but there would be plenty of space even if all 5 pitches were occupied. Access is straightforward and efficiently managed. The local pub, the Borough Arms, a few meters along the road was very welcoming and served good food.
The highlight of our stay were two fantastic cycle rides in opposite directions along the Camel Trail. You could not ask for a more ideal site to access this beautiful trail. Bodmin is an often overlooked town which is worthy of a visit rather than just passing through.
An excellent, good value CL to which we will most certainly be returning.
A great base to explore the Camel Trail
Fenwick Trout Fishery
We chose this site as its right next door to the Camel Trail, which is an old railway line which as been turned into an off road cycling and walking route, and it was a small site on the outskirts of Bodmin so the Covid risk would be reduced rather than go to a big site. Its in a lovely location just off the A389 but we hardly heard the road noise outside of the rush hours. The pitches are large hardstanding with EHU, water and bushes between them. The Camel River is on one side and the old trout fishery lake on the other. There's a riverside and hillside woodland walk and a large grass area for kids to play on. Some areas are kept as wild meadows so attract plenty of wildlife with Swifts and birds or prey flying over the lake and woods on the hill. The access road to the camel trail is just over the river bridge opposite the site where you can ride up the trail towards Bodmin Moor, or take a diversion to the lovely Blisland Inn or a local brewery (6 miles each way). We also rode the other way to Wadebridge, via the Beach Box cycle cafe, and onto Padstow for Rick Steins Fish and Chips. The trail at times was like a cycling motorway (11 miles). Our other cycling trip was into Bodmin on the trail and then onto Lanhydrock National Trust Estate via small roads and a cycle track (5 miles) which is still great to visit, even though the house is closed due to Covid-19. Sainsburys Supermarket is a 1.5 mile Camel Trail walk away and theres a great Tea Room on the trail at Boscarne about 2 miles away. Unfortunately the heritage railway, which has a station on the trail about a mile away, was closed due to Covid. Grrrr! Although we understandably didnt see Shirley under the current restrictions, she was very helpful on the phone and by text. The toilet is shut under current Covid rules but there is a waste emptying point and good recycling facilities. We had a great time here.
