History

Camelford RFC was formed in 2008. During the club's first two seasons they played friendly matches, mainly against Cornish opposition and in 2010 entered the Cornwall Merit Table, finishing 7th. 2011 was their first season in league rugby after being accepted to play in the Tribute Cornwall League Two. Since then they have gone from strength to strength, finishing third on both occasions during the 2013–14 and 2014-15 Cornwall 2 seasons.^[2]

Ground

Camelford plays its home games at Lane End (Tregoodwell Lane) on the outskirts of the town.^[3] Facilities are basic, with no club-house and just the one open pitch with space for around 500 supporters standing. Although there is no parking available at the ground, visitors can park nearby in town (five minute walk). As Camelford has limited public transport, arriving by car is essential.
