Report

Just returned from two weeks in Cornwall and Devon. Spent three nights at Camelford from 9th June 2016 Pro's :- Wardens extremely helpful as we had problems with caravan tyres and recomended garage next to site, which worked out well. Toilet and shower blocks exceptionally clean, site well kept. Cons:- we were on pitch 7 and TV reception was poor to say the least. NO WIFI which may be intentional? to keep the site "old school" however in this day and age a necessity. Pitches not level so ramps required.

A week at Camelford

Spent 6 nights at this site, Nice & quiet even though site was quite full by the time we left.Found staff very friendly & helpful, Toilet & shower facilities were kept clean & tidy, if getting a little dated. The pitches are mostly level, but would advise having levelling blocks if on the grass areas. Only downside of this site is very poor phone reception, no 4G reception only GPRS on my O2 phone, therefore no internet, Also no Wi-Fi available here either, so you have to go into towns to get a decent signal, my mobile broadband dongle would not work here either. There are good laundry facilities, used while away.

Pleasant, quiet site

Stayed here for a week in May and found the site peaceful and quiet. The facilities spotless. The wardens friendly and helpful even gave us some wood to help lift our steps as levels were high. In fact both wardens always smiled and spoke when out and about and just made us feel welcome.

Small but perfectly formed

We stayed at Camelford for just one night while driving back up to Surrey but would have loved to have stayed longer. Beautiful views and very peaceful. We arrived during a bad storm and had been battered by gales along the way, where our caravan had sustained some damage. The wardens, Kath and Denise were great and went out of their way to help us sort out a temporary fix on the van before we moved on the next day. Once the winds had calmed down we enjoyed the stunning scenery and short walk to a nearby supermarket to get supplies. We were lucky enough to have one of the hardstanding pitches which was great considering the weather but there were plenty of grass pitches too, my preferred pitch if it's dry. Showers were spotless and well equipped. Ideal location for a short stopover, just off the A39 but not just as a transit point but as a destination too.

Disappointing

After staying at other club sites Camelford was abit of a let down. There are only 13 hard standing pitches which are level. We were on grass (no problem) but it wasn't level (no problem) but after 2 days of persistant rain became water logged - in fact the steps were down to the rung and had to be dug out!!! Coming back from the shower block feet needed to be rewashed because of the mud. Desperately needs draining. There isn't a great deal around the site although there is a pub and golf club down a narrow lane (unlit). Camelford is a good 20 mins walk but has a good selection of pubs and a few shops.

Lovely Cornwall

Returned from Camelford a few days ago and missing Cornwall already. Stayed at this site for 21 nights and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. Site was quiet and well-maintained with perfectly adequate shower and toilet facilities that were always clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again soon.

Exploring North Cornwall

Stayed here for a couple of nights. Good location between Boscastle and Rock/Polzeath. Facilities more than adequate if a little worn. Everything clean. Owners friendly and helpful. More hard standing would help. All in all a good site for those wanting to base themselves in a convenient easy to get to spot for exploring the north coast.

We Will Be Back

Nice site in a very good location withe short walk into Camelford where you will find all you need. Yes the toilet block is dated but has all you could need and is kept spotlessly clean by the very friendly wardens. Surprisingly for probably one of the most popular areas there aren't a great deal of CC sites in Cornwall that have toilet blocks so I think maybe some investment should be provided, but if they don't and an older toilet block puts people off that also is ok as it will mean that we will be able to return easier. People are put off by the massive high voltage pylon which is smack in the middle of the site but it didn't bother us. We'll be back. Thanks for a nice stay CC.

Dated, but clean and friendly wardens

Reading other reviews, I would agree that the toilet block is dated and probably inadequate if the site is full. However, the facilities are very clean, which is far more important than their appearance. Likewise, yes, many pitches are on a slope, so ramps may be required - but many sites are like this, so why complain? We found the location ideal for exploring Cornwall and Camelford has a superb dog-friendly pub/restaurant, (The Masons), which was within easy walking distance (downhill). A £4.00 taxi ride back also seemed very reasonable. If we go back to Cornwall, we would definitely stay here.

Needs updating but good base site.

We stayed at this site for 5 nights and had mixed weather while there, which wasn't good as far as the tennis court was concerned, it obviously doesn't get used much and therefore doesn't get looked after, it was full of leaves, the surface was uneven and filled up with water in certain spots and the surrounding fence needed some attention. However the site itself is quite nice, the facilities definitely need updating and expanding as if the site ever does get full three showers will not be enough not to mention not enough toilets working and I know it was supposed to be Summer but the building itself was freezing. It is a good site for visiting the area as you are not far away from the main road to all of the surrounding towns and villages. There is quite a drop down at the far end of the site and the grass gets quite boggy as all the water runs down, this is also probably why the tennis courts get so wet. Would use this site again, but definitely need some attention.
