Chilling Out

This was a very easy site to find but do follow the instructions. The site was very clean and peaceful with a separate field for playing in and a practical dog walk. The views were stunning and there are some lovely walks close by. Being a retired sailor it was lovely to watch the shipping and yachts. The site is south westerly facing lovely and sunny with great sunsets. Be wary of SW GALES the sight is quite exposed on high winds. We were not that impressed with the two local pubs but there again that's not why we go caravaning. Big thumbs up for the wardens- cheerful, helpful and knowlegeable ?? We will definitely come again

Exceptional, friendly and made us feel welcome thank you the wardens

We have just stayed here for 3 nights and all I can say is what a fantastic beautiful and clean site this is. From the moment we pulled in to the site we were made extremely welcome by the wardens (lovely couple). They were both friendly and had exceptional customer service. I even saw the wardens walking round the site with members as they looked for a pitch giving them advice about the site and the best places to pitch up. We originally booked for 2 nights but extended to 3 nights as we liked the site so much and nothing is too much trouble for the wardens. The dog walk here is excellent and very big. Thank you to You both for a lovely stay and we will defiantly be back as soon as we can.

Perfect for dog owners

Lovely site in a beautiful spot. Best dog walk in a large field and just a short way down a lane you are directly onto the coastal path. Nice dog friendly pub serving great food just a few minutes walk. Very friendly with the best views over the bay, I shall definitely return.

Lovely clean relaxing site

Just returned from 7 day stay at this site - so clean and wardens work so hard to keep it immaculate. Lovely views over Plymouth sound, relaxing watching the passing boats, ships and occasional submarine. Loved it definitely will be back thanks for super holiday.

A site with a view!!!

We visit this part of the West Country most summers at some time and decided to give the Plymouth Sound site a try even though we normally like to have a shower block where we are staying as we knew the location is special even though the approach road is tricky for the last couple of miles. Our visit coincided with the Plymouth Firework competition which we watched from the site and were able to see the aerial fireworks over the Staddon Heights hill. Yes, the approach is tricky for a few hundred yards, but the location when you get there is well worth it for the stunning views from the site. The wardens are so hard working and show you the available pitches when you arrive so you can maximise the view from what is available. The dog walk is good and the field alongside it for children to play looked nice. Bovisand Beach at the bottom of the lane is dog friendly and there is a cafe in the chalet park that you can get a drink from before the slightly steep walk back to the site. The National Trust run Saltram House is a short drive from the site and has lovely walks alongside the Plym estuary. We didn't eat there, but did stop for a drink at the local Mussel Inn, it looked nice but found the drinks expensive so could be hard on the pocket to visit? There are so many things to do in the area so recommend you try this site with lovely views over Plymouth Sound.

A relaxing couple of weeks

Just back from two weeks at this site. Yes there are no facilities but the location and views amply make up for it. The pitches are immaculately maintained and the owners are very helpful when booking in and choosing a pitch. When I visited the site was split equally between caravans and motor homes. The latter tending to be positioned at the top of the site where the slope wasn't so steep. It's important you follow the directions provided for the final approach to the site as there are a few tight bits in the narrow lanes. But nothing to lose sleep over. Most of the locals were very accommodating for caravan drivers. It did get a bit windy some days, so my visiting nieces had great fun flying kites in the playing field next door. All in all a great site if you want a peaceful and relaxing holiday with plenty of beaches and things to do in the area. I'd visit again!

Lovely peaceful site, poor attitude!

We stayed at Plymouth Sound from Tuesday 16th to Friday 19th August. Our primary reason for staying was to kayak in Plymouth Sound and watch the National Fireworks on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We weren't intending to spend a great deal of time at the site but nevertheless wanted a nice pitch. When we arrived we were given conflicting information, the gentleman warden gave us a choice of two pitches whereas the lady gave us a choice of one (they obviously had different agendas). We plumped for the pitch with views of the sound, I'm a local girl, and we were planning to spend our last evening (Thursday) enjoying the view so this was perfect. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday as planned paddling and watching the fireworks, which were splendid. Imagine our disappointment when on returning from our Thursday paddle we found someone else on our pitch. The excuses form the gentleman warden were feeble, apparently it was out fault! We had left something on our pitch the previous day, this had been moved so we didn't bother on Thursday. However, I thought that wardens kept a careful review of pitch occupancy, appArently not here! We have spent years abiding by the ever increasing Caravan Club rules and regulations, what a pity that the wardens on this particular site can't do the same. We have been considering for some time whether to try the opposition, this might just be the tipping point. We spent our last night disappointed, not an apology in sight! I don't know if anyone reads these, but a response would be nice!

What they don't say!

We enjoyed this site with great friendly wardens but would point out :- Entrance to site iand approach road are not for the faint hearted if you have a large van or MH Public transport - 1 bus a day Beach - accessible via a very narrow and steep hill and car drivers are not very patient or careful Firework viewing - Only high level fireworks visible from site Windy- yes definitely windy most of the time we were there

Potential to be windy, but great views

We visited this site in mid-August 2016. The weather was generally cloudy with very strong winds, so sitting outside and having a barbeque was not an option most days. the best views of Plymouth Sound are from the lower levels - where the ground slops quite steeply, requiring several blocks of wood to chock the van. The top of the site has less of a view but is more sheltered when the wind blows from the North east (as it did for some of the time). Facilities limited to 2 drinking water taps and 1 waste water / chemical loo emptying point. A useful ferry from Mount Batten (15 mins drive) across to Plymouth harbour saves the drive around and parking problems. The ferry costs £1.50 each way for adults and runs every half hour between 7.30am and 10.30pm.
