“Typical Caravan Club mentality, but a nice little site”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2012

We pitched up late one rainy summer's evening in our rented motorhome. The camp guards came rushing out and were rude and abrupt to us as we had dared to drive in without invitation. But we held our tongues as we were desperate for a place for the night. After some scraping and grovelling by us, the custodians actually morphed... More

Thank you for your possitive comments about our site, it has been a difficult year weather wise and this has caused considerable problems maintaining our normal standards, we are however pleased that you found them to your liking. We do not have site guards and are never rude to people, we do however have to point out that when you... More

“Still a happy camper after 20 years”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2012

We have been visiting this site on and off for the last 20 years. We had a break when our first child was born but have been visiting as often as possible since. It always has been a lovely site, well maintained and super clean. I am prompted to send a review following comments about how strict the site is.... More

Thank you indeed. It is nice to recieve sensible, and thoughtful reviews. It is indeed becoming more and more difficult to run a site such as ours and sadly every so often there are those that have no respect for others who seek to spoil the enjoyment of the way we do things here. When we do have to speak... More

“Unsatisfied customer”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2012

I have to agree with the other negative reviews on here. We chose to leave this site early because of the attitude of the management and the restrictive regime they attempt to operate. Any small inadvertent transgression of the many (many!) rules results in customers being treated like naughty schoolchildren. I am sure that the management will respond to this... More

We are sorry but do indeed need to reply to this review. This all stems from these people taking issue with our toilet block cleaning times that are between 11am and 12.30pm everyday. We have to close the main facilities for health and safety reasons due to the use of controlled cleaning substances to ensure that the facilities are deep... More

Thank you for your review and positive comments. Our site rules are basically those employed by all the major club sites and quality independants. For the safety and well being of all and to ensure the peace and quiet that we promote we will if needed remind campers of thier responsibilities to others. Every pitch on site has 6 metres... More

“Still loving it.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2012

It's 2012 and we have just enjoyed the first of hopefully many visits to Lydford Caravan Park as we have done over the past several years. It's just as wonderful as ever and enhancements continue with more hard standings and solar panels attop the loo block to fit in with the sites green credentials. Managers Steve and Chris are still... More

“Peaceful”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2012

We stayed for three nights Monday - Thursday and were blessed with fantastic weather when everyone else back home in Cornwall had thick fog and grey days. Site wardens were very friendly and looked busy getting ready for the forth coming season (we were there the first day they opened). Pitches were not huge but were adequate and we had... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are a cosy, rustic site, however all pitches have a minimum of 6 metres of clear space between those adjoining them, the industry minimum is 3 metres. Following on from decorating the interior of the toilet facilities we are attempting to decorate and upgrade the exterior but boy has... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights in our 1974 rented campervan along with our 2 dogs. Great location especially for walkers as close to so many great trails. On arrival we were handed a booklet on the area along with a sheet to tell us of other nearby attractions and the rules of the site, which were not... More

Thank you for your honest and nice review. We try hard to please here for those that appreciate the service we provide. It is impossible to get everything exactly right for everyone.
