My favourite stay of all sites I've visited

Having spent 7 months on CL sites and main club sites, this site bas been my favourite - Great views over Plymouth Sound/estuary, coastal path walks are only a mile away, ferry rides to the Barbican and other destinations are only a few miles away with free parking available.The Wardens, Kevin and Anita, are very helpful and keep the place looking pristine! Loved it!

Fantastic Site

What a great site - views are fabulous from most pitches even the top ones which are best for motorhome! Wardens only too happy help and suggest things to do. Access roads a little narrow but once there you are rewarded with those views and peace! Walked into Plymouth along the coastal path which is steep in places but not too bad. You can catch a regular bus from the other side of Bovieland in the car park but that is a fair walk down hill (obviously uphill on way back!) and then across the bay. That one runs every hour or so and I think goes into Plymouth? Bus in village (easy walk) runs only once a day into Plymouth returning about 15.00.

A Sound Place to Stay

A Site with great views over Plymouth Sound, some pitches require blocks for levelling, the tiop pitches are quite level. The beach at Bovisand is about 30minutes walk downhill there is an alternative walk down from Down Thomas which is less steep and has less traffic. The food at the local pub is good and fairly priced. One note of caution, do not leave the site with your Motorhome or Caravan if the local bus is due, we were held up for about 30 minutes to allow a caravan to reverse to a passing place, the local buses will not reverse under any circumstances. A great site to visit for the views alone.

Great views

Stayed here 10th June 2019, great views over The Sound, very helpful wardens. Facilities are clean. It was a wet day but we walked down to the beach, to a cafe overlooking the bay, in which we took shelter to dry off over a mug of hot chocolate while watching the ships in the distance. The cafe would be especially nice on a bright day and staff are friendly. Access to the camp is quite narrow, but ok. Use the website directions rather than sat nav.

Plymouth sound

The site is basically a big open field with EHU bollards. It's reasonably flat near the top but more sloping as you go further down, so if you head for the lower pitches (with the better views) you'll need some of the many blocks stored near the wardens office. The on!y grey waste disposal point is at the top of the field, so it's a good idea to empty it regularly. There is no shower block. The dog walk is good, and there's a sandy beach at Bovisand bay (turn right out of the gate and follow the narrow road) to give muttly a good run - it's about 10 minutes down hill and 15 back up. Locally the Mussel Inn is welcoming, dog friendly and the food is very good. If heading for Plymouth you can park at Mount Batten for free and catch the ferry across to see the sites

Little Gem

Absolutely lovely peaceful place. Out of the way of everything which is what we wanted but close to Plymouth for shops etc. Fantastic views out across Plymouth sound, loved watching the ships and boats coming in and out of harbour. We were very lucky to HMS Queen Elizabeth just outside the harbour on manoeuvres. Kevin and Anita are lovely and know all about the surrounding area, places to go and visit. No toilets block, but hey you don't pay all that money out for a caravan to not use your own shower and toilet, and a couple of trips for water. This place is a little gem of a site, we have been to Tintagel site a few times, but this site is just a good. Give it a try you wont be disappointed.

Wonderful site and welcoming wardens

Kevin was very helpful with all our questions and offered suggestions for things to do. The site is partly on a slope and some flat areas. Very well maintained with clean service areas for loo waste, water and waste disposal. The grass was well cut with no grass cuttings to get trampled into our motorhome. There aren't any loo's but that doesn't bother us as we wouldn't use them anyway. The views are stunning overlooking the Sound, although a couple of small trees could be cut/replanted to get the full effect of the view. We took Kevin's suggestion and walked to Mount Batten ferry along the coastal path. The views are beautiful but I'm not sure about Kevin's timings. He said about an hours walk but the many steps up and over the coastal path meant it took far longer. The day was sunny and gorgeous so it didn't matter at all. There is a carpark at Mount Batten where you can park for free and you could even part a small motorhome there no problem. That said I'm glad we walked. On the way back I had a dip in the sea at Bovisand beach which is lovely and soon warmed up on the steep walk back to the site. Both nights we were there were very quiet and peaceful. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Kevin and Anita, you both do a wonderful job.

Wonderful bank holiday weekend

We booked last minute to go to Plymouth Sound as it was one of the few sites in Devon with availability. We were not disappointed in any way. The wardens were really lively and helpful. Great walks from the site in all directions. Two good pubs within walking distance really helped on a very wet and soggy Sunday. Well stocked village shop catered for all emergencies and we could order newspapers there. Really friendly locals added to our experience. We’ll certainly return.

We can't thank the wardens enough. Wardens Kevin and Anita please stay there and never go away apart from going back to France each year for your break. See you next year and have a Merry Christmas lots of love and thank you again. Ronnie and Rosie Heydon.
