"Just visited 26-28 Sept 2022 and no heating in the shower/toilet block despite night time temps < 10 degrees."
Staff and Service
Pros:

"The wardens who shared lots of information about the area."
"The staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for you."
"Owners couldn't be more helpful, they even found and printed out the details of the nearest Mazda main dealers for us as the car is playing up."
"Greeted by wardens on arrival, Steve and Anita, very helpful."
"Helpful staff made our stay relaxing and enjoyable."
"The wardons are the friendliest we have ever come across in all our many years of travelling the country."
Cons:
"Staff were unhelpful and didn’t seem bothered about my experience from the moment I arrived."
"We would not recommend this camping."
"We've never had such an unpleasant welcome as on this camping."
"Awful. Warden very patronising on arrival & our tent pitch was in the burning sun with no shade."
"First impressions weren’t good, we pulled up to the gate and the staff had disgusted looks on their faces one of them even laughed and shook his head."
"The staff were so incompetent it was almost funny."
"Staff are good well Steve and his wife, the owners not so much almost felt like we were in the way."
Location and Views
Pros:
"Such a peaceful and easy place to get to, views across the top of Dartmoor and the Tors, were breathtaking."
"Great site with fantastic views."
"The site is easy to get to and is walking distance from Lydford Gorge and several local pubs."
"Superb views of Dartmoor."
"Beautifully peaceful site, well positioned on the edge of Lydford Village."
"Great location for the gorge, there is a great castle/ Court building (free entry) you can look around and would highly recommend the granite way which is also within walking distance."
"Lovely peaceful site and location - we have visited 3 times - and great for Lydford Gorge NT and local walks."
Cons:
"Be careful which pitch you are allocated."
"The Lydford Gorge didn't massively appeal to us as it was a bit tame in terms of terrain but I can see it being perfect for kids and so a great location for families as it was only a very short walk away with tea rooms and lovely views of the waterfall."
"Limited supplies from warden's office - no shops in village so stock up en route or eat out."
"Cycling the Granite Trail is easy be warned a very unexpected steep sharp left-hand corner at the end Oakhampton can be an unpleasant surprise."
"Tent field is right at the back of the site and there is no lighting in the fields at all."
