Divided by pylons

Whilst the site was convenient for our needs and kept spick and span by the staff, this really isn't up to scratch. It is only a small field, divided by a major National Grid electriciy route, complete with a full size pylon by the toilet block. Many of the pitches seemed unoccupied, just long grass skirting a caravan, blinds drawn, without human activity. The toilet facilities are in keeping with the size of the campsite but are very tired, Artex coming adrift and fluorescent lights collecting insects galore. I see Bill the Bodger has been at work too - the end shower cubicle had four wall hooks for ones clothing but eighteen extra drill holes, mostly complete with Rawlplugs. Don't use the shower modified for the disabled unless you want to leave the door open. I'd be afraid to close it in case it would never open again! We had clean water, electricity, waste disposal points, dustbins. What more could we want? Time to refurbish or move out I felt.

Lovely staff

We are just home from 2 great weeks at Camelford. It was very quiet, even being half term, with lovely, helpful staff. Dated facilities but wardens do a grand job of keeping them clean. The site is just off the A39 with an easy walk to a Londis store. Bus 95 / 96 at site entrance to : Bude, Boscastle, Bodmin, Tintagel, Wadebridge, Newquay, Port Isaac, Rock, etc. The weather was perfect ... and so was our 2 weeks, do hope Camelford can keep going for as long as possible, so lots more people can enjoy it!

Super staff

This is a small site tucked out of the way on the outskirts of Camelford. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and we had a lovely grass pitch that was actually green, despite the drought. There is really good access to a large area of Cornwall from here. Site facilities were fine and never crowded. As it is a small site they are always close by! There were some families with other children which meant some play opportunities for our lad. The only slight negative was some traffic noise from a couple of goons riding noisy mopeds about at night, but it certainly wasn't a deal breaker. We had a lovely, brief stay here.

What a shame it's closing.

We stayed here for a week in at the end of July 2022. The wardens were all very helpful, even coming away from toilet block cleaning to help me with a washing machine issue. The facilities are more than adequate and the site is in a great location for seeing the sites of north Cornwall. It's such a shame this site is closing as it is very quiet and peaceful and would probably appeal to families without children (there is no play ground).

Great base for Cornwall

Not stayed at the site before. Great welcome from the wardens and they were more than will to help. Very quite small site with 13 hard standings toilet block is old but spotlessly clean. WiFi was good on our pitch 25 opposite the bungalow. You dont notice the pylon in the site. Nice views from the site too. Great base for Cornwall as not to far down Cornwall. If you are a cyclist the camel trail is a must to Padstow. Great beaches polzeath, Rock, Trebarwith. With Boscastle, Tintagel and merlins cave and Port Isaac close by.

Nice quiet site with easy access to beaches

We stayed 2 weeks. The site is very quiet and with easy access to the north Cornwall beaches and walks across Bodmin moor. Two of the recommended beaches on searching are Polzeath and Trevone. Please beware of the car parks at these venues. Just look at the reviews on Trip Advisor. Ignore any signs that tell you there is all day parking or free after a certain time. They will send you a large bill for overstaying. It leaves a bad taste to return home to find charges that you have not means of challenging or recalling what you paid for.

Left early due to Moped noise

Moped going in and out of the site at speed, up set the dog, so had to leave, This site is apparently due to close, due to building of a bypass.

A great Club Site!

This site is due to close, perhaps at the end of this season, due to the building of a bypass. This is a shame, as the site has really lovely Wardens and Staff. There is hard standing, and spacious grass pitches. The toilet blocks have not been updated due to the future loss of the site, but are simple, clean and perfectly usable. Had the site been further developed, (with a trend to more extensive hard standing), then it would lose much of it's charm. We had a loverly time here and hope to return before the site is closed at some point. Yes, Wi Fi is poor, but usable. The site charges a very reasonable rate for the area too.
