Lovely, lovely campsite. South Breazle is in the middle of nowhere so may not suit everyone but we have two children aged 4 and 6, and they didn't stop playing. We were lucky that the weather was fabulous for the four nights we stayed here but I still think we would have had the best time.
The toilets and showers were amazingly clean, the showers are hot power showers with a large private changing area with chair. The showers were so large it was fine getting you and a child showered and dressed at the same time. There is also a family shower room. Although there are only four showers in the ladies, and four in the mens, we never had to queue as the site is so small.
Each pitch was very large, and clearly marked out by individual names. We had our ten-man tent, two cars and gazebo on our all-grass pitch, with still plenty of space for the kids to play at the front.
The pitches circle round a large field, with football goals. This enabled us to have full view of the kids when they were off playing.
The chemical disposal and rubbish bins are in the field next door. As is the amazing Fun Fountain, that kept our kids and their friends amused for hours. In this field they do need to be supervised, as it is out of sight of the tents.
There is a small shop with toys, ice creams, sweets, fresh eggs, frozen goods, jams etc which is open from 9 to 10 and 5 to 6 every day. You can re-freeze your ice blocks in their freezer. If the shop is closed and you need something, or your freeze blocks back, the owner can be contacted by a free direct line, situated in the washing up area, and will come down to the shop.
The owner was extremely friendly and helpful.
The nearest eatery needs to be booked and serves amazing food and is about ten minutes away. There is also a very good chip shop which is a 30 minute return journey away. Launceston has a few large supermarkets near the A30 slip road and this also is a 30 minute round journey.
The Bude Beach is less than an hour away, it is a lovely beach offering surf waves, sandy beaches and rock pools.
The (only) downside. The site is in the middle of nowhere.
The upside. The site is in the middle of nowhere. BLISS.

Myself, my husband and our 17 year old daughter visited this site during August this year and we were very pleased with it. The site is in the middle of nowhere, down a bumpy country lane with very few sign posts so printing off the directions from their website is a very good idea.
We were lucky when we arrived that the shop was open and someone was there to welcome us and direct us to our pitch. The pitch was a very good size and was one of the things that had attracted us to this site.
We were on the right hand side on a slight hill, some of the pitches are hard standing whilst others are a mixture of grass and hand standing, ours was just grass. We would love to come back to this site and when we do we would prefer a pitch with both hard standing and grass, so that we would have somewhere solid to park the car, rather than on the grass which in times of wet weather, which we had a fair bit of, may get muddy and could be unpredictable as the ground is very soft.
The shop was only open an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening which for us was fine. We used the freezer to store our freezer packs which worked well for us, though as someone suggested in another review having a freezer that is accessible all day would make things easier.
The shower block is very clean, spacious and well cared for. The showers are large and have a separate area, with chair and hook, to change in. The showers are operated by push button and were powerful and hot. There are only 4 showers but we never had to queue to use them, the same for the toilets. The washing up area was again roomy with sinks and washing machine and dryer. Plenty of hot water. Dryer uses tokens which cost £2.50 for half and hour. We used it once.
The shop stocked essentials and although was only open for a limited time Louise was always helpful and friendly. We would recommend the Murder Mystery tours in nearby Tavistock and Okehampton which are sold in the shop.
The countryside around the site is wonderful, we were not lucky enough to see the wild deer but we did encounter lots of small frogs on an evenings walk along the road! Roadford Lake is about a 20 minute walk away and is well worth a visit.
We did not use the fun fountain as the weather was not great, which was a great disappointment to our daughter! There is plenty of space in the field next to the site and also in the middle of the site for children to play.
Overall we would recommend this site to anyone who wants somewhere quiet and away from everything. We will definitely be visiting it again in the near future, just hope that the weather is dryer than it was this time!

We have just returned from a 9 night trip and couldn't possibly speak highly enough of this site, it really is fabulous! The showers are quite possibly the best ever to be found on a campsite - our 12 year old son was in them every day, sometimes even twice a day he was so impressed! They were clean, extremely powerful and always hot. The toilets could use some hooks on the back of the doors, so that you have somewhere to hang your stuff when popping to the loo before a shower, but that really is the only negative thing I can say.
The fun fountain provided hours of amusement for the kids and it was great to see them all just playing in an empty field!
The local pub is brilliant - great value for money and friendly staff, but be sure to book, we tried to book a table twice during our stay without success, but third time definitely lucky!
If you are looking for a relatively quiet and peaceful holiday then this is the place for you, we are not fans of 'big facilities' campsites and this was just perfect for us.

What can we say which hasn't already been said, the pitches are huge, bonus was having the water at the pitch so didn't have to bring a water container with us.
Toilets/Showers are fantastic always plenty of hot water.
It's a quiet site which is what we were after.
Can't find any faults with this site.
We found a lovely pub, the Lifton Hotel which serves great food at reasonable prices.
Lydford Gorge is absolutely brilliant well worth a visit, along with the Tamar Otter Sanctuary.
Will we be driving the 200+ miles again to visit this site, oh yes we will.

We were very encouraged by the South Breazle website, and were not disappointed when we arrived. It's a very bumpy farm lane so drive carefully! Louise was extremely friendly and helpful as was her daughter.
The facilities were clean and the free showers were hot(push button). We particularly appreciated the generous 'dry' area inside each shower cubicle which had a chair and coat hooks for your stuff. This made showering with a child quite easy. You could probably get 2 kids in there with you as the shower cubicles are quite large. There is also a family bathroom with a toilet, sink, step for small people, baby change unit and a shower which apparently is a bit cooler for little ones, though I didn't try it.
It's fair to say the site is in the middle of nowhere and unless you knew it was there you would probably not stumble over it - but this is a good thing because it was so quiet and safe for the kids. They thoroughly enjoyed the fun fountain and messing around on the playing field in the middle of the camping area.
We chose this site because the pitches are enormous (15m x 12m) and even though our pitch was second from the bottom, it was still only a minute's walk to the toilets and showers. We used the ice pack freezing facilities in the shop freezer and really this is the only point that could be improved - the shop only opens 9-10am and 5-6pm (small site - I do understand why) but that meant to change the packs we had to get back from day trips earlier than we may have wished. Perhaps a dedicated freezer in the washing up/laundry area would be a good plan. The fresh eggs were yummy.
There are several NT properties in the area (Lydford Gorge is brilliant if you're fit and you have sensible shoes with you) and the Tamar otter sanctuary definitely has the 'ahhh' factor.

This is simply our kind of campsite. We visited with a 3 year old, a 2 year old and 3 month old. This was our second visit.
Space:
The pitches are huge. Our Vango Icarus Tent with porch extension looked lost in the corner of our plot. We also took two cars - but still plenty of space for playing on the pitch. But, with the huge central play area which was in sight, the children ran and ran and ran! The communal ride on toys we enjoyed last time had disappeared. But inspired by last time we had our own for the kids to use. The non-serviced pitches are not perfectly flat.
Facilities:
Wonderfully new modern toilet block with washing up facilities, disabled toilet and for us the life saver was the family bathroom with shower, toilet, baby changing, potty etc all one private space. Could do with better Extract ventilation as it got very humid in there and didn't feel dry until the door open and fresh air let in. Plenty of hot water! Nice touch was the provision of hand soap. Shower cubicles very large with space for you to change privately outside the wet area with wooden seat and hooks for clothes.
Play:
No children's play equipment, but plenty of space for ball games. We all loved the fun fountain. This is water that shoots out the ground on a five minute cycle once activated. It was great on the hotter days! This is not in the main camping field but in the adjacent area.
To do:
We visited Trethorne leisure farm - a bit pricey - I thought at first and a bit miffed there were further charges inside - but we soon discovered the expanse of free activities inside - ideal for a rainy day! We also bowled here.
We went for short evening walks around roadford lake and also spent a day at the beach (Bude).
Conclusion:
For - it is in the middle of nowhere. Against - it is in the middle of nowhere - 30min round trip to a supermarket at Launceston (Tesco) or Okehampton (Waitrose). Camp shop and reception is not open very much - but I used the internal phone for the farmhouse half a dozen times in our short stay and they came and opened up without any hint of annoyance (Between 8am and 8pm). The internal phone acts as their service desk and I guess keeps the cost down rather than having a full time receptionist! Being able to select and book a pitch online is great! Wifi worked really well. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back. I would recommend it to like minded people.
