With over 730 acres of water, Roadford Lake is a spectaclur lake set on the edge of Dartmoor between Okehampton and Launceston.
It is very easily accessed from Stowford Cross on the A30 and has ample parking.
The facilities at the lake are split in two; firstly, on the southern bank there is the Lakeside Restaurant and Function Suite which includes an interactive Visitor Centre. Visitors to this side of the lake can enjoy miles of footpaths and a cycle way which winds its way through a newly planted forest overlooking the Lake.
|
 |
Camping is avaible on the edge of the
lake for a nominal fee. Showers, electric hook up, toilets and undercover bbq
area are provided.
|
|
Grassy rigging / parking area.
Rescue cover.
Cycle hire at Roadford Lake
Angling & Watersports Centre
The camping area leads pretty much
right down to the lake, meaning that
it's no problem to leave your kit rigged
all night protected by the shelter of the trees, then pick it up, walk down to the water's edge and have a quick blast
before breakfast - Probably the best possible start to a day.
Our Education Officer is based at
the centre and can organise group visits and educational trips along with rural
skills courses and can be contacted on 01566 784981.

The campsite is ideal as a base for family holidays, with a wide variety of activities on offer plus ease of access to Devon and Cornwall’s attractions and beaches. Groups, especially school, scouts, guides and friends, will find the site ideal for activity holidays. The Lakeside Restaurant can provide packed lunches if booked in advance, and is open for lunches, drinks and snacks daily.

With peaceful angling, 8 miles of bank and plenty of inlets, angling at Roadford is very enjoyable.
|
Stocked with brown trout, the lake is popular for both bank and boat angling. The largest fish to be caught is a 8lb 4oz brown. Roadford also operates an optional catch and release system.
Permits can be purchased at the Angling and Watersports Centre. To guarantee a boat, advance booking on 01409 211507 is recommended. Further details on angling at Roadford Lake are available from the centre, where members of staff will be happy to help. We also have a Wheelyboat, which enables people using wheelchairs to get on the water and can be hired for half and full days.
The Trust often runs angling tuition days in conjunction with the Environment Agency. Look out for posters on site. |

Welcome to Riverside, situated on the bank of the River Gannel, it is two and a half miles inland from Newquay and an excellent base for exploring the rest of Cornwall. |
Our secluded riverside park is the perfect base for a touring or tenting holiday. The sheltered touring area, with its level grassy pitches and small paddocks, provides relaxed and quiet surroundings.
One hundred and twenty pitches (120) are available and sixty (60) of these have electric hook-up facilities. The supply is 240 volt via a standard EEC 16 amp socket.
Drinking water and waste points are situated around the park for your convenience.
We are proud of the standard of cleanliness of all our facilities, we know you would not expect anything less at Riverside.
|
|
Our tranquil riverside park is surrounded by beautiful farmland, and makes the perfect place in which to relax and enjoy your holiday: yet it is close to Newquay with its superb sandy beaches - famous worldwide for surfing and coastal walks.
Riverside is family owned and run, well maintained, and caters for families and couples only. It is open from the beginning of April until the end of October with most amenities open throughout that time. |
 |
The River Gannel provides the ideal
opportunity to fish for trout.
The quarter-mile stretch of bank which
borders the park brings enjoyment to both young and old who participate in this
relaxing hobby.
|
Also to enjoy at Riverside
A covered and heated pool for all the family's enjoyment.
The bar and patio area - a place for a quiet evening drink and a 'get to know you chat.' Children are very welcome.
|
|
 |
There is a children's play area where plenty of fun and games can be created.
Laundry: Equipped with washing machines, drier and iron. Free toilet and shower facilities, and a dish-washing area.
|
Out and about: Newquay and the surrounding area offer something for everyone: beautiful sandy beaches, surfing, coastal walks, fishing, golf, horse riding, National Trust houses and gardens, theme parks, zoos and many other attractions. Summer in Cornwall is a time for local and traditional celebrations. Most villages have flower or music festivals and the towns have spectacular regatta or carnival weeks. For the youngsters there are many theme parks ranging from the historical to the just thrilling! |
 |
The site offers generous pitches situated within
four enclosed areas
offering
panoramic coastal views. |
As we are less than 1 mile to Perranporth's shops and beach, it is only a short drive. There are also three walks to the beach ranging from 10 to 20 minutes each with spectacular views. The easiest of which can be undertaken with pushchairs and young children, ranging to the coastal path for those who enjoy more of a challenge. Two of these walks end in Perranporth town.
Ideally located for walking, Tollgate Farm neighbours sand dunes that lead to the beautiful 3 mile beach at Perran Bay where, if you love live music and good food, you'll find The Watering Hole right on the beach.
Golfers benefit from concessionary fees at Perranporth's Links Golf Course.
We are a family and couples orientated site and therefore won't admit large single sex groups. We welcome dogs and other pets, as long as they are well behaved.
|
 |
For those seeking more energetic pursuits
there is a wide range of outdoor sporting activities
in the area. |
Tollgate Farm is right next to Perranporth Golf Club, beautifully sited in the dunes. Perranporth beach is a popular surfing resort, and there are facilities for sailing, diving, canoeing, and many other watersports close by.
The Seiners Arms Hotel is right on the beach at Perranporth and its Restaurant and Bars are open to non-residents offering a wide choice of meals.
The city of Truro provides cultural entertainment, and the towns of Newquay, Falmouth, St Ives, Penzance and St Austell are all nearby, offering a wide choice of restaurants, pubs and entertainment. Or for quiet evenings visit some of the many coastal villages on both the north and south coasts.
We highly recommend the Pandora Inn, near Falmouth, which offers a superb range of drinks, bar meals, a restaurant, and in the summer months Cornish Cream Teas, and also the Smuggler's Den Inn at Cubert, only a mile and a half away, which serves fabulous seafood and prime quality steaks, and is renowned for its real ales, fine wines and the friendliness of its local regular customers.
