Our thoughts
Lovely site. No facilities but we were happy with this.
Several vans had little yappy dogs. Which would bark for ages. Site managers should deal with this as it ruins the peace and quiet. They never botheredÂ

Friendly, beautiful site
It took us 5 hours to get to the site and while I did keep the wardens posted regarding our journey, they were very very understanding and caring, wishing us a safe journey rather than worrying about us being later than 8. Great site with lovely views across Plymouth Sound. Wardens were very helpful at suggesting walks and pubs (local pub The Mussell was superb). I thought a down side would be not having toilets or shower block but it was absolutely fine. I would highly recommend this site :-)
Plymouth Sound
A lovely site but agree with one of the reviews that it would be much better to pitch at an angle to appreciate the view. It would also be a good idea to stop people putting up an awning on the front two rows as this stops people further back from seeing the view (like at Bunree)Â

as excellent as always
This is a great site and is well looked after by the new wardens, albeit I preferred the old system of being allowed to park the vans on an angle to take in the superb views over Plymouth Sound. It is quiet, out of the way, and the views are tremendous. There is a large field for children to play in as long as they do not need play equipment for entertainment. Great dog walk, although why the dogs should be kept on a lead, I did not understand (again never used to).
A great site to stay
Peaceful site.
Just arrived back from a week at this site, as has been previously said all grass, some parts alarmingly sloping particularly if you have a long van with the fear of bottoming out when you block up the front, we were encouraged to use these pitches because we have a 4X4, these are the pitches with best views over the Sound with lots of boating activity, but chose a flat pitch, at the top, which was ok by the Warden, as these pitches seem to be 'reserved' for campers. This is a very peaceful site, well maintained, we were there for a week, but it generally seems to get used for stop overs for the ferry's, so quite busy in that respect. The club directions are spot on, but take heed that when it says turn R by garage, it is a blind right turning 'before' the garage, and you cannot see the garage until you are on top of it, we overshot it twice, once with the van on the back and once without. On arrival to the site, you drive into a right turning, which is hidden from the road, you can easily overshoot this as well, and as these are narrow lanes, one can get into rather a pickle........I think a sign on left hand side at the turning would help. We are country bumpkins so found getting out and about through the traffic to go anywhere quite busy, but with Dartmoor on you doorstep, and the coastal path we were in our element.
Fabulous Site & Views
Plymouth Sound is a fabulous site kept in brilliant condition by the hard working Wardens who are both very helpful, the views are brilliant over the Sound.
There are no hard standings, all grass which is not a problem. The local pub (The Mussell Inn) is well worth a visit beautiful food & only a 5minute walk away as is the local shop.
Will definitely visit again.

I enjoyed to stay nice view
I enjoy stay in Down Thomas nice rest and peace and quite. very clean , I wish the Service office move to were end of dog walk by old Gate they be better for all people ,In Bovisand Lane is narrow I wish to move were the Dog walk by old Gate it sould be better for all people .
Fantastic
We have been to this site several times and it has never failed to deliver, The site wardens are fantastic and offer a personal service helping you to select your pitch, and they make you feel very welcome, if you are looking for peace and quite and jut want to take in the fabulous views this is the place for you. No doubt this is due in part to the lack of on site facilities which I am sure help to keep away families with young children, this combined to the small site really lets you get back to the essence of camping,100% recommend we be going back again very soon i miss the views already !
Wonderful
We chose this site for the location - and boy, did it deliver. The view over the outer breakwater is fantastic, with never ending activity from Warships to Jet Ski's. The walks from the site are terrific also with loads of wildlife on view and so, so much history around. Very friendly and helpful site wardens also, who made our stay particularly pleasant. We would highly recommend Plymouth Sound CC site, but only if you are comfortable using your own facilities.5*
