  • Cornwall site with adjacent equestrian centre for lessons and hacks
  • Lake on site with valley views
  • Peaceful family farm site with plenty of room for play
Why the long face? Because you didn't canter to Camelford for a Cornwall holiday surrounded by all things horse? Neigh problem: race to Lakefield Caravan Park to remedy. A quiet farm park on the north Cornwall coast close to Camelford, Lakefield has its own British Horse School and Riding for the Disabled Association-approved equestrian centre attached, with classes and rides for all ages and abilities from beginner to experienced. Your horse-mad little person can even trot along to a Saturday pony club or have a pony-owning experience day… Other winning features on site are the stargazing – when it's dark here, it's really dark, points out the Lakefield team; the quiet, secluded setting (no bars or clubs here) and the handy location: although it's secludedly set, Lakefield's on a B road so is an excellent base for galloping all over Cornwall. Kids – and dogs – can roam with impunity around the big field for off-lead exercise (for dogs, not kids) and the big grassy area set aside for ball games, handily within eyeballing sight of most pitches. The whole site covers five acres, with lake and valley views on a 54-acre smallholding. All pitches at Lakefield are grass and well-spaced. The well-maintained amenities block has free hot showers, free hot water, a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The medieval market town of Camelford is a mile away and has shops and a leisure centre with indoor pool.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: It was a lovely quiet place that was clean and tidy and had lovely clean facilities to use. The showers were lovely warm water that had temperature control to your liking once it had been on and adjusted to what you had set it for. The grass was cut back on each pitch Which was nice and was good for getting your pegs in. My children especially liked it as it was on a equestrian centre and my son got the chance to go riding which really good with a lovely riding instructor. Would definitely book again

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: A quiet, friendly campsite. Hot showers and clean toilets! Horses walk through with their riders which my son loved to watch. Option to go riding. Lots of beaches and activities close by. Local shops 5 minutes down the road. Big area to pitch and lots of grass to play games on.

Disliked: Nothing for toddlers to do, although we knew this when we booked. It is a working farm so the drive in is very bumpy with tractors etc

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Easy access, plenty of space on the pitch. Picnic benches provided. Toilets nice and clean. Was peaceful till …………..our grandkids arrived!😂. Only two shower cubicles but these seemed sufficient as we didn’t have to wait or queue. Friendly staff and great site if you are into horses.

Disliked: Wind turbines in adjoining field were noisy when windy

Local attractions

Ramble over moors or surf over waves from Lakefield Caravan Park: both Bodmin Moor and the sandy beaches of north Cornwall are close by. At Bodmin, take a walk around Rough Tor and Brown Willy, Cornwall's two highest points among its best-known landmarks; at the coast, the strong waves of nearby Trebarwith Strand are eminently suitable for surfing – and the 800 metre-long sands a top pick for sunbathing. On land, the Camel Trail, 11 miles away, is a good ride for families and has cycle hire in several spots. Popular Cornish day trips are within driving distance at Boscastle (five miles), Port Isaac (10 miles) and Padstow (19 miles). This is legendary country too, with the castle and village of King Arthur's Tintagel, six miles along the coast, now one of the most visited attractions in the land. It gets quite madly busy at Tintagel in summer, so for a less crowded experience, visit the Arthurian Centre at Slaughterbridge, a mile and a half from the site just outside Camelford. For those who fancy fishing, Crowdy Reservoir – a couple of miles from Lakefield – has free coarse fishing for Environment Agency rod licence holders from March to October.
