Great site with excellent wardens

This is a great site made all the better for not having a facilities block. The wardens Kevin and Anita are super helpful. What more could we ask for? Great views? All ready sorted - the site overlooks Plymouth Sound and has great views of all the vessels entering and leaving the Sound in one direction and in another direction distance views of Dartmoor. Local facilities? Similarly sorted - pub and well stocked shop all within easy walking distance even for a person in recovery after a major knee injury! Enjoy.

Excellent Site

We have just returned home after a wonderful few days spent at Plymouth Sound site. The wardens Anita and Kevin made us so welcome and were very helpful with directions and places to visit. Splendid views from our pitch overlooking Plymouth Sound and watching naval ships coming and going. We were also treated to a flying display by a neighbour to the site who uses an adjoining field to exercise his Himalayan Eagle-Owl. Campers were encouraged to watch and some also held and fed the bird. We will certainly return. Thank you Anita and Kevin.

Excellent site in great location

We stayed on this site for 3 nights as we were walking a stretch of the South West Coastal path. It was a great location, only about 1 mile to the coast path and has a pub and a shop in the village. Kevin and Anita are very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and always cheerful and happy to help and chat. The site was kept very tidy and organised and they recommended the best pitches to us as some were very steep! We ate at the Mussel Inn in the village and the food and service was really good. There is only one bus in the morning at 11:00 ish into Plymouth and it was useful to get off at the Morley Arms to walk back along the coastal path. It would be great if it had a wash block but we were happy to use our own facilities. Its a great place to stay close to Plymouth and the local pasties delivered to the site were delicious!.

A great site for getting away from it all.

A great site for getting away from it all. Although the site has no toilet or shower block – there is a brand-new motorhome service point and excellent chemical disposal facility. This site is kept immaculately by the wardens and all pitches are grass with some of them being sloping and some suffering from bogginess so pick your pitch carefully and don’t get stuck if the rain arrives. There are some lovely walks in the lanes and a steep walk down to a beautiful beach with lovely cafe and public toilets. Also there are some great cycle rides one of which goes to the nearby National Trust coastal reserve. There is no charge for entry. The little hamlet of Down Thomas has a great local pub called The Mussel Inn and whilst we didn’t sample the food or drink it does have an excellent reputation and is within five minutes walk at the site – as is a good local shop and bus stop which provides a direct route into Plymouth but be careful because the service operates only one trip in and one trip back each day. Also whilst the bus drops you are off in the centre of Plymouth – the bus stop for returning is in a completely different place – namely Embankment Road which is the place from where all buses seem to leave. We were mis-directed by our bus driver and it took us half an hour to find the return Stop! We found TV reception for a satellite system to be excellent as was BT mobile phone signal. A great place to stay.

Favourite site to chill out

We have been coming to this site for about 7 years and enjoy it more on every visit. The wardens do a terrific job looking after the site as it is very neat and spotless. I do hope the increase in very large motorhomes will not continue as they do rather dominate pitches. Lovely site - we will be back.

Magnificent location

This site enjoys the most fabulous views; some of the best we have experienced in forty years of caravanning. The lack of facilitIes is no detriment as clearly the site has been very busy right to the end of the season; they are simply not needed. The beach just down the lane is lovely for swimming, and there are two small cafes close by. The Mussel Inn, in the village, does excellent fare and is very welcoming. The ability to get into the centre of Plymouth on a little ferry for £2 each, and free parking, is brilliant. There is loads to see and do here. The wardens clearly work very hard to keep the site immaculate, are really helpful, and have every bit of information you could need - thank you both very much indeed. We were especially grateful of how careful they were to offer those on extended breaks the chance to move into a prime location if one became available. Siting would always be an issue with a site such as this, and the wardens managed this with great care. Well done.

Loved this site

Really enjoyed our 4 night stay here. MSP and water/bin areas very neat and clean. Cleanest chemical toilet emptying area we’ve ever seen. Grass neat and well cared for. Very helpful and knowledgeable wardens, helped us with local walks, dog friendly beaches etc. Lastly, just about the best, cleanest and biggest dog walk that our dog Daisy has ever had the pleasure of romping around. Will definitely be back. Thanks again to Anita and Kev (and Ronnie the pooch).

The best holiday we had with the dogs this year

We only live about 5 miles from this site, but decided to visit anyway. So glad we did. It is a lovely area for walking with the dogs, the views are lovely from the site, although sadly only if you can pitch on a slope which we couldn't. Dog walk secure and big enough for a good runaround. We walked several miles every day from the site in different directions, and had the September heatwave. We were not impressed with the local pub (the Mussel Inn). The beer garden terrace is permanently in the shade and very windy, there is a nice lower grassy area with tables but with a busy kids playground so no good for us, and it is shut mondays and tuesdays!. Nearest local co op is about a mile away. Small basic shop near site but does not sell booze, only papers and basics. Several beaches within easy walking distance, and most are dogs allowed all year. The site itself can be very breezy due to it's hill top location. We plan to visit it a lot next year.

Sounds of Silence!

A very friendly site with lovely wardens and absolutely stunning views. Plenty of places to run around and blackberries ripening in the hedges. We've never had any late-night noise and it's peaceful through the day too. A lovely place to visit.

Beautiful site, amazing views

Visited this site for two weeks in August 2021. On arrival the warden asked how long we would be staying, my husband advised it would be for 2 weeks, he was taken to a pitch which had been vacated a short time before our arrival, a lovely pitch with an amazing view of the sound. The warden said he was a little concerned as the previous occupant had not used a breathable ground sheet and the grass appeared to have been flattened and died. , He was advised that we would be using an awning as per our booking, but with a breathable ground sheet. On getting ready to leave the site my husband took the awning down, as previously noted the grass underneath was not looking the best. The warden then stated that he was very worried about the state of the grass and what sort of ground sheet had we used. Again he was advised it was breathable and that when we arrived the grass was in a poor state. It left a sour taste to be accused of leaving the grass in a poor state. My husband reminded him that it had been in that state when we arrived and he had allocated that pitch to us. It hadn’t been helped by the amount of rain that we had had whilst there. If groundsheets are such a problem then perhaps the club should ask that they not be used. We had had a lovely time at Plymouth Sound, but this was marred somewhat by the wardens parting comments.
