Quiet, well run well located

This site is perfectly situated for motorhomes as everything you need is a stroll away. Totnes town is across the bridge, the ferry to Dartmouth is 100 yards away, there is a bus stop there as well, and there are numerous walks that you can take. Totnes as a town has everything you need, from markets, to craft shops to a supermarket. The pub across the river, Dartmouth Inn serves a brilliant carvery and has other meals on daily specials. The wardens are so helpful and friendly with advice, and they keep the site immaculate. OK, there is no wifi really, and no electricity, but it is still a brilliant site. We will return.

Very enjoyable stay at Steamer Quay

We have just spent a very enjoyable 7 days at Steamer Quay site. The wardens are very friendly and keep the site in first class condition and always happy to help. Yes the toilet block is dated but kept clean and tidy. The walk into Totnes takes less than 5 minutes and is full of independent shops selling almost everything you may need. Morrison’s is always available and again a 5 minute walk. The ferry to Dartmouth is a must and also walk up the Dart to Dartington. If you have a solar panel no EHU is no problem.

A Little Gem

What a nice welcome, the site staff were very helpful, accommodating and pleasant. The site is a little gem, very quiet, close to town and easy to access. The facilities are getting on in years now but the staff keep them as spotless as an old building can be. Our stay was a pleasure as always, the site is well placed for walks, train rides and boat excursions what more can you ask :-)

Lovely riverside location

Perfectly located for the Devon town of totnes this site is ideal for those who like to enjoy a stroll along the riverside. An ideal quieter location for visiting nearby Torquay, Paignton and Dartmouth, via a river cruise, there is plenty on offer for both a couple, or, larger families, if your willing to travel from the site. Whilst the site is well maintained, and the staff are friendly and welcoming, the facilities are minimal which is a shame given the lack of club choices in the area.

What a Lovely Place

First time at Steamer Quay and we will come back. A lovely small site in the town so convenient for everything. Really great staff, very welcoming and helpful, and a place to simply chill out and relax. We don’t have kids so not sure it would be great for families, but there is a v small “play park” over the road by the cafe, (hence the lower score for noise, but nothing bad and personally I love the sound of kids laughing !). This is so convenient for everything, shops, river trips, restaurants etc. Site wasn’t busy and really felt l8ke a home from home.

Fantastic Site.

This is an excellent site. Lack of electric hook up isn’t an issue as far as I’m concerned. It’s more than compensated for by the superb location a short, level walk into quirky and lovely Totnes and the adjacent steamer quay with cafe, boat trips to Dartmouth and bus services to Torbay. The wardens keep the site immaculate, tending to the abundant flowers including some produce which you’re welcome to help yourself to! The information boards showing daily ‘what’s on’ events, local weather and thought for the day are evidence of the care and enthusiasm of staff at this site. As others have commented the facilities aren’t the best you’ll find on CC sites, but they’re perfectly adequate and are well serviced and very clean. There is a well stocked local shop nearby and Morrisons is about a 10 mins walk. The independent shops in Totnes are superb as are the cafes and pubs. We took the river side walk to the craft shops at Dartington and then onward to Dartington Hall, about 5 or 6 mile round trip - highly recommended and good way to enjoy Devon without the crowds. The 90 minute boat trip to Dartmouth is also recommended. This is has to be one of my favourite CC clubs sites

A rare and welcome town site

I don't write many reviews as Club sites are all much the same, especially those with numerous hard standing, which too often tend to resemble car-parks. Steamer Quay is always good to return to and the lack of electricity makes it possible for those of us who don't wish to book months ahead to get in, even in high summer. This we've just done - arriving Tuesday and leaving on Friday. One trip to Torquay by bus, another to Dartmouth by bus, returning by boat provided a wonderful mid-week break for us. The nearness of Totnes town centre is a superb bonus and it's a shame that the Club has so few such sites. It's all very well being out in the countryside, but that generally means no services and little chance of a bus stop nearby (The 'within 1 mile' indicated for some sites is a uselessly vague piece of information if you're unable to walk very far.) The wardens were helpful and attentive, keeping the site looking good.

A Hidden Gem

You would not know this site was right in Totnes it is so discrete. Perfect to explore the town and local area, you can use public transport and leave you vehicle here throughout your stay. The Round Robin steamer and open topped bus are so much fun and the local pubs offer great choice and excellent food. Gary and Helen are lovely wardens and their care and attention to running a neat and well organised site shines through. Thank you both, the grounds, showers and loos are immaculate. The summer flowers are lovely to see. A touch noisy sometimes with seagulls in the morning and locals in the evening, but it is in a town and near the seaside, so you have to accept that is part of the character, would not be enough to bother you in a van (we sleep in an upstairs pop up so have canvas walls). We also take a little chap with us who is two now, and find there is enough nearby for him to explore and play on (the council have done a good job with play areas) and the chance to go on a boat or a steam train means he has lots of fun too. This is the third year we have stayed, the site is consistently excellent and we hope to make it four, five and six years if we can. Thank you wardens we appreciate it.

STEAMER QUAY IS GOOD

Steamer Quay is a nice well positioned site and is perfect for motor-homers as there are plenty of options not requiring you to take vehicle off site. The facilities are limited and a little out dated, but were kept clean at all times, the wardens were friendly and helpful and pitches although grass were flat and firm. There are no hookups on site, and although this is not a major problem for most people, it would be helpful if there were a couple of standard plug sockets in the toilet blocks, this would enable campers to use a decent hairdryer or such if need be, as caravan club hairdryers are not that good. It is an easy walk into the interesting little town, its a nice town and well worth exploring with its little narrow streets, the local museum in the town centre, although not big, has free entry and is very interesting. There are numerous shops and also a major supermarket all within easy walking distance as is the quay if you want to do a River Dart boat cruise, also a good day out is the round robin, taking in the river cruise, steam train and bus. If you wish to explore further the local bus is only a short walk away and goes to Paignton, Torquay and the surrounding area. All in all this is a great little site for a short break would definitely make a return visit in the future.

Ideal Location

This is a lovely site in a great location, close to the town and local amenities. The bus stop is 5 minutes walk away, you can get to the coast - Torquay, Paignton, Plymouth or Dartmouth. The river is by the site for a lovely stroll or river trip. The staff on site were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they keep the site spotless and work tirelessly. They have planted herbs and vegetables for anyone to take, what a super idea, especially as they are so busy. The toilet/shower block is old but is kept clean and works well, there are only 2 showers but I only had to wait on one of the 5 days we were there. There is no electricity on the site but that did not present any problems. WELL DONE we thoroughly enjoyed our stay on your lovely site.
