Andrew H. Mar 2024

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: Pitch was large and more than adequate for a large caravan with awning. Also great that the awning is included if you want to use one. Very quiet, with lovely clean and well maintained washing facilities. Onsite staff helpful and sprightly 😁. Lots of nearby walking/cycling. Very easy to find and easy roads to tow on to get to the site. 1st visit there and can highly recommend as a seasoned caravan user for 20+ years.

Disliked: Not really anything to dislike, as the site was fairly quiet.

Powered gravel and cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked: Lovely location for exploring Dartmoor and the vicinity. Loads of walking over the tors and moors from the camp. Excellent byway if you have a 4x4. Granite way is brilliant for walking and cycling, the views are breathtaking. Tavistock is a must to visit with its many quirky shops. The original pasty shop does the best pasties, even better than Cornwall. The facilities at Lydford campsite are always clean and well maintained as is the grounds. The wardons are the friendliest we have ever come across in all our many years of travelling the country. There is always a friendly smile and wave as you come and go and nothing is too much trouble. Will definetely be back.

Disliked: Paying extra for Wifi as most campsites provide it. No 'off the lead' dog exercise area.

Liked: Sehr gepflegter Platz mit sehr netten Betreibern. Die Sanitäranlagen sind ebenfalls sehr gepflegt und zeitgemäß. Einige Stellplätze haben eine traumhafte Aussicht. Die Stellplätze sind gut anzufahren und mit Schotter/Splitt wetterfest ausgerüstet. Der kleine Laden bietet das Notdürftigste. In der Umgebung ist ein toller Pub. Der Platz ist sehr ruhig und ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen. Die Betreiber machen ihre Aufgabe toll. Auch die Abwaschräume sind sehr gepflegt und zeitgemäß.

Route directions

Please beware of using satnav systems when approaching the site due to narrow roads. Approach via the A386. The only route for towed or large units is: From the north: Turn south from the A30 onto the A386 signposted Tavistock and Plymouth. Continue for approximately 3.5 miles, passing the Fox and Hounds pub on the left. In another mile, turn right into Lydford village just before the Dartmoor Inn (look for a tall brown tourist board sign showing Lydford, campsite symbols, golf and Lydford Gorge with a telephone box on the left). Note the junction is slightly obscured so approach slowly. After turning, in half a mile take the first right at the war memorial and in 50 yards bear right at the Y-junction. The site is 100 yards on the left. From the south: Via Tavistock, approach only using the A386. At the Dartmoor Inn turn left into Lydford village. After turning, in half a mile turn right at the war memorial and then in 50 yards bear right at the Y-junction. The site is 100 yards along on the left.

Local attractions

If you’d rather ditch your ride and take public transport from just outside the site, Okehampton to the north and Tavistock to the south are both under half an hour away by bus. Head to the latter for the Museum of Dartmoor Life and cool castle ruins, or take the car if you’re planning on heading deeper into Dartmoor afterwards to climb the rocky High Willhays and Yes Tor peaks (both about 55 minutes’ drive). Tavistock, an ancient stannary and market town on the River Tavy, is also top notch: journey here for the living museum on Morwellham Quay (25 minutes), the historic Buckland Abbey (half an hour) and the family-friendly Tamar Trails Centre activity area. Within a few minutes' walk of the site, veer off on your gorge stroll for a look at Lydford Castle and Saxon Town, a former prison dating back to the ninth century and now managed by English Heritage. It sits next to St Petroc’s Church plus a pub serving food (both also within a five-minute walk of the site). If the kids are keen for the coast, Plymouth is 40 minutes’ drive away.
