Fabulous views from this friendly site

Just back from a week at this beautiful campsite. We are a family of four with a 10 and 14 year old. From the start the wardens Kev and Anita were brilliant, calling us in advance to check we had meant to book a pitch with no electricity, we hadn’t ;-) and knew there was no toilet block, we knew. They were so helpful in getting us pitched on a spot we picked on a slope with the most incredible uninterrupted views of Plymouth Sound (others brought ramps but plenty of flatter pitches with lovely views). We were given some great tips of places to visit and walks and swim spots. Totally recommend the Noss Mayo loop with a stop at the Ship! There are local national trust places and plenty of navy shipping action to watch and a visiting owl display in the evenings. We will definitely be back.

Stunning views

I loved this site, it's location, the proximity to the coastal path and ferries, the dog walk and the nearby bus stop all made it perfect for me. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly which just added to the pleasure of staying there. I don't normally bother too much about views as I am usually out and about rather than sitting looking out of the window, but in this case watching the activity on Plymouth Sound was 'the icing on the cake'. I highly recommend Plymouth Sound

Wow - perfect

After a lovely welcome from the warden who informed us of local walks etc we were left to find our pitch. All pitches have amazing views. Peaceful site, amazing dog walk and one to return to.

perfect site to visit our family in Plymouth, great base to visit the area.

This was our first visit to Plymouth Sound and only our third trip as new caravan owners. We were met by Anita who was very helpful and friendly, Kevin then showed us the available pitches and recommended the best one for us, we had a fantastic view out across the bay. Kevin stayed with us and helped us to level up our caravan, he couldn't have been more helpful. We will definitely be back for another stay, highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet site as a base to explore the area.

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.
