Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Location was good to get to Perranporth beach and looks like there are lots of activities that they provide. I think they focus more on these and the skydive element than the campsite.
Disliked: Nobody was there when we arrived at 4pm to tell us where our pitch was. Just parked on the edge of a field. Shower was ice cold (had to move to disabled). No toilet roll, hand soap or paper towels. Everything was closed, nobody around and quite unclean. Looks good online but not so good In person, I wouldn’t recommend.
