Excellent site

This site is brilliant not only for its location in the heart of Totnes but because the wardens, Kev and Mariane go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The facilities are immaculately kept and the pitches maintained to a very high standard. They are Motorhomers themselves and it shows! My reservation of this site is the lack of EHU. On the other hand, hook-up may encourage even more people to use it and it’s already fully booked most of the summer so perhaps things are best left alone! As for the town itself it’s pretty, quirky and slightly hippyish with some great independent shops and excellent pubs. Best pubs are the Waterman’s, the Albert ans the (up-market) 7 Stars.

Hi

Hi, I have previously written a review on this campsite, however I feel I must add to it Following a very wet spell in the beginning of the season, most responsible members were impressed with the site managers constant effort to try and keep the pitches in good condition, having travelled extensively during the summer, one gets used to the gradual deterioration of grass pitches through constant use, not at Steamer quay! The pitches were outstanding! It was so nice to return for the last week of the site opening to find the pitches were as green as the day the site opened, what with that and the gorgeous weather, it made for a very pleasant stay, thank you Marianne and Kev for your efforts On another topic, it never ceases to amaze me how some dog owners think it perfectly acceptable to let their animal do it’s business on someone else’s pitch! The practice seems to be getting worse each year and surely the club should enforce the ruling that dogs should be kept on a short lead at all times whilst on site, and in the case of Steamer Quay, it clearly states in the book that there is no dog walk on site, so come on dog owners give us all a break eh?,,,not everyone loves your beloved pet!., Finally, arrival time,,,there is very limited access at the reception at Steamer Quay,and as it states, arrival time is 1pm, luckily for Motor homers, there is a place further down the road that they are able to park up and wait for the arrival time if they turn up early, but the car park does not allow caravans,so if you have a caravan,make sure you don’t get there too early as there really is nowhere you can go without blocking off the roadway,, and you really don’t want to face the wrath of the site managers if you do,,so be warned!!

Nice little stop over

We stopped overnight here on our way to Looe in Cornwall, the site was full to capacity but surprisingly peaceful. There is no EHU which we were aware of. The location of the site is great, Morrisons is a few minutes walk away and so is the town centre of Totnes with lots of bars & cafes. Facilities were clean but tired looking. A very pleasant stay & we would definitely return.

A nice site in a great location

This is a small site not without its challenges. The club seems to be limited in what it can achieve on the site. Therefore there is no mains and the facilities are a bit limited and tired. The site is susceptible to flooding and soft ground. However it is a nice grassy site set close to the river and the centre of Totnes. The staff were first class. It is pleasant to be there and reasonably quiet. No facilities for children's play; quite grown up site. We like the site and have been more than once, and will be happy to go back another time. Totnes is great for a mooch around with lots of independent shops, a brew pub aand local pubs in back streets. The South Devon Railway is a great day trip and walking distance away. You can also do the round robin bus, steam engine and river trip to Paignton and Dartmouth.

C and C again

Gem of a site. immaculately kept. walkable to Totnes centre for the restaurants and bars. lovely scenery and walks on the doorstep. Although set in a residential area, was very quiet. Extremely friendly and helpful site warden (sorry forgot his name)

Perfect for Totnes

We arrived following a ‘biblical’ spell of wet weather at around 5pm. ‘Mein host’ was extremely busy is chaperoning motor homes onto suitable pitches and desperately trying to ensure we minimised our impact on the landscape. Not an easy feat in such dreadful conditions and the relentless footfall of arriving Motorhomes…👍 We we’re consistently impressed by our hosts in their completely professional and diligent way in which they ensured everything was functioning as guests expected…👏 As for Totnes itself, what a genuinely lovely place…So many lovely independent shops, several very suitable pubs and a great feel for the 1960’s ..😃👍😆 We will definitely be back..!👍🤩 I’d like to endorse AndyChrisW and their earlier review - well done Kevin & Marianne..!👍😆

Excellent Wardens - peaceful site

We have just returned from 6 nights here and were not disappointed. 2 days before our arrival we had a phone call to ask if we would be taking our 8 metre motorhome off site - thankfully we do not do this otherwise we would not have been able to go there. There had been so much heavy rain for the 2 weeks before our visit that approximately only one third of the site was open, it was waterlogged. Kevin did an heroic job organising mats for everyone to get on and off pitches as the ground was so boggy but he wanted to spoil as few holidays as possible. Day after day he was trundling up and down with mats and always very friendly and helpful. Club members do not help when it says arrival 1pm and they start queuing at 11am. It does not give the wardens time to do cleaning, grass cutting and all the other multitude of jobs they have to do before accepting new arrivals. Come on club members be a bit more considerate , arrival times are there for a reason. The site is at the bottom of town and conveniently placed for shops, buses, river trips and many lovely places all around. One last huge thank you to Kevin and Marianne who worked tirelessly for our enjoyment.

We love this site

We have stayed here several times and like that: It’s very close to the town centre of lovely quirky Totnes but despite this is relatively peaceful It’s right on the River Dart. Beautiful. Lots of things to do locally and pleasant river walks right from the site. Plus you can catch the boat to Dartmouth. Facilities are not lavish but perfectly acceptable and very clean. There is no hook up electricity and I’m pretty sure all pitches are grass. On this occasion we were looked after by the relief wardens who did an outstanding job. There had been recent torrential rain and they were outstanding in looking after members booking in and out and going to great lengths to protect the grass pitches. The toilet facilities were spotless. A sincere well done to you for doing a great job with a welcoming smile! Give this site a try and you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent - and lovely wardens!

We returned to Steamer Quay and enjoyed it just as much as we always do. The wardens were particularly friendly and made us feel very welcome, talked a lot of common sense. This makes a big difference to me and would make me hesitate to return if we did not feel welcome. Great position with easy access to Totnes town which is always worth a walk around, quite unique in many ways. Great meal at the Pie restaurant and loved the Saturday market with great stalls.

Don’t forget your wristband!

Stopped here for a couple of nights in our campervan. Site facilities are using individual wristbands which you leave outside when you are using one of the two areas. One household can use at a time. Problem was people forget to take their band away so you could be queueing when no one is in them! Wardens advise you to lock outer door when inside so you could of course knock and open with key code to see if someone is really in there. Of course if you lock outer door and have a medical emergency no one would be able to get in! Nice walk across to Ashprington pub on Dart valley trail.
