  • "Mylor Adventure Camp has proven to be an excellent venue for providing accommodation for 170 people and catering all meals for 230. Staff were wonderful to work with, delivering as was promised. The camp/conference style accommodation provided very well for larger numbers and we could see capacity for more catering numbers. We would be very happy to use again. "
