Deerpark Forest Caravan Site is a certificated site approved by the Camping and Caravanning Club. It is
situated on the western edge of Herodsfoot village just 7 miles from the south coast of Cornwall and
about 10 miles from Bodmin Moor.
The site is set in 2 acres split into 2 adjoining paddocks both having electric hook ups and drinking water. Some shelter is provided by trees and hedgerows. It is a quiet site set in a rural location within extensive woodlands owned and managed by the Forestry Commission. The streams that flow through the wooded valleys to the north and south of the site feed the West Looe river which meanders its way through idyllic countryside to the historic fishing port of Looe. Tents, caravans and motorhomes are all accepted subject to availability. |
|
The Chemical Disposal Point is designed to be as pleasant a place as you could hope such a place would be. |
