south west of england

[Furydav]

Hi, im looking to head off to the south west for a week at the start of July and have been scoping out some campsites.

Im considering the Riverside campsite at South Molton as a base to travel down to the likes of Bude but also across country if i want.

has anyone stayed here or have an experience of the campsite or area?

thanks in anticipation

I would suggest you might look for somewhere a bit further West simply because Cornwall gets VERY busy esp if we actually get decent weather and the A30 can only hold so many cars lol; there are a couple of sites at Perranporth which are really nice and they are only a short walk from the beach and the Watering Hole (the pub on the beach which is a must visit) ... 3 miles of sand

A point to note, Cornwall are changing their dogs on beaches rules it would seem and I have noticed more and more which state dogs on SHORT leads for July and August (Perranporth being one of them) ... Ive considered asking for a similar rule for children but not got round to it yet

Hi
Oh, that's the most sensible thing I've heard for ages, and something Tony and I have said for years.....
Cheers

Flossie, thanks for the local info. 're the area you suggest have you any idea how long it will take me to get down there from the Worcester area when the A 30 is busy in the summer? Thanks
