Nice, but could be better

Just returned from an eight night stay here with mine and my brothers families, enjoyed the stay even with the changeable weather and limited facilities. We would have to agree with some of the previous reviews negative comments, facilities are dated but very clean, the existing facilities would struggle too meet the needs of the guests if the site was full, limited hard standing so if busy quite a lot of sloping pitches, lack of a play area, otherwise the site is well maintained and well placed in Cornwall for access to many lovely places to see and visit. This site would greatly benefit from an overdue revamp, the site has much to offer and we would all consider returning sometime in the future, but please look at bring it up to the 21st Century.

Better than some reviews claim

We have just finished a pleasant week at this site although I was a bit concerned by some negative reviews. It is a pleasant site with conscientious staff who keep it well maintained and clean. The toilet blocks are always clean but comments about the need for some investment in the decor, etc. are justified. The claim that it is good for all the family probably does lead parents to expect more facilities for their children so any disappointment they experience is understandable. The site does not claim to have WiFi so its absence should not surprise anyone, but on the other hand the digital television signal is good and the 3G signal for web access is very good indeed, often with a signal strength of 5/5. Although it rained a lot during our stay and we were pitched on grass (with a nice view) there was absolutely no problem with access or with towing the caravan away when we left. The site is well placed for visiting the area and the golf club next door is welcoming. We will not hesitate to use it if in the area in the future. Hopefully by then the club hierarchy will have given it the overdue investment required.

Nice site, but....

You WILL need levelling blocks if there are no hard standing pitches available. There is nothing for children to do, not even a swing. The toilets and showers, although serviceable are old and dated, but are kept very clean. There is NO internet at this site so if you rely on it, make other arrangements. While we were there the people on the grass pitch opposite us let their dog wee and poo on the grass, just opening the awning door and letting it roam on a long cable, the furthest it got walked was to the back of their caravan so it could go to the loo there. Disgusting!! Apart from those minor niggles it's a nice site in a good location and is easy to find and enter/exit, although the middle gate post could be removed to make it a bit easier for a twin axle caravan. We enjoyed our week stay but probably won't be back which is unfortunate but the site really does need updating with new ablutions, internet, and instead of a tennis court could do with a play park for the children.

Great site for humans and dogs

Lovely quiet site, in a good central location for the Camel Trail and beaches, with some good local walks as well. Dog friendly pubs within walking distance and on the Camel Trail. Some pitches sloping, but not a problem if you have good levelling equipment. Very friendly and helpful wardens, we will be visiting again 16 nights was too short.

Pleasant site, but needs updating

This is the second time at this site, as has been previously mentioned by other reviewers, the toilet and showers are in need of a major upgrade. But the wardens do a good job of keeping then clean and the rest of the site is very tidy. I was disappointed that there had not been any Wi-Fi installed because I'm sure we were told last year that this was planned, but overall I would still use this site again.

Nice site in need of modernisation

I recently visited this site with my family and parents (previously visited by them) and it was fairly easy to find given this was my first time in Cornwall. The wardens were nice and friendly and the site itself is clean and tranquil. Throughout the seven nights that we stayed I would say that it was only ever half full at the most. The site is apparently privately owned and doesn't seem to be like some of the other Caravan Club sites that I've previously visited. The toilet and shower block certainly in my opinion are in need of modernisation. The hand dryer broke whilst we were there but was replaced with a better model. The shower cubicles could do with being updated as could the whole toilet block just to bring it up to the usual Club site standards. The pathways aren't lit up come dusk and as its a secluded site this means it does become quite dark and can make for a tricky walk back to your van. There isn't anything for children to do on the site so this meant taking our kids out (when the weather let up) or keeping them entertained in the caravan. On a whole the site is a pleasant one and more suited to caravaners who are after some peace and quiet. For those with families it takes roughly 25 minutes plus to find any attractions or things to do. I possibly won't visit the site again as I have two kids but please don't let my review deter others from visiting a pleasant and friendly site.

Ideally situated for a relaxing holiday in Cornwall

Lovely clean site and very well maintained by the wardens but what a shame that the shower block and washing up facilities still require updating. The mens block does not have privacy cubicles for sink washing and apparently the hand dryer had not been working for weeks!! The shower cubicles are very dated and tiny. This was our 3rd visit to Camelford Site as we love the area but it really is time some money was spent on improving the facilities.

loved this site

We don't enjoy the big CC sites full of hustle and bustle but this smaller quieter site was lovely, plenty of choice for a pitch, staff were fantastic and the place is centrally located for all sorts of days out. I was going to write that the hand drier in the gents was rubbish but it got renewed on our last day there!
