From the manager: Hi Sandrine, Thanks for your visit and for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the area and appreciated the level hardstanding pitches and good wi-fi on site. Unfortunately, at this time of year our volunteer staff are not always on site to welcome all guests. Given our location at a football ground, there are occasions when football matches occur and with this there can be music and a livelier atmosphere. We are sorry that this was not to your liking. Best wishes, Mousehole Camping

Liked: Very nice clean pitch and friendly welcome and a great location for a short walk to Mousehole and nice local village Paul. Nice powerful showers as you get to use the local club house.
Disliked: The toilets were quite far away from the pitch.... Wouldn't want to go there at night time, luckily we have a loo in our camper.

From the manager: Hello, Thanks for leaving a review. Glad you liked our site and location . Our toilets aren't the closest unfortunately, however they are open 24/7 and as you say our strong showers and hot water hopefully go someway in making up for this. Kind regards Mousehole Camping

Liked: A nice little site , you have to share the local football clubs ammenaties but that was`nt a issue. Volunteers were running the site whilst we were there and were full of local knowledge. It`s a nice walk down to Mousehole (20mins) and a nice pub overlooking the harbour with great food , but a 40min walk back to site (uphill all the way ) but we made it ..There is a bus service from Mousehole to Penzance which is very regular . Overall we enjoyed our stay..

From the manager: Hello, Thanks for leaving a review, glad that you found our volunteers friendly and helpful. Yes the hill to and from Mousehole is a bit tiresome but is totally worth it for the picturesque views in Mousehole. Worth noting there is also a bus service from Paul village (where we are situated ) to Penzance which alleviates having to walk down the hill. Kind regards Mousehole Camping

From the manager: Hello, Thanks for leaving us a review. Sounds like our site wasn't for you. We do ask that all customers read our website first to see about our site and facilities as everything is explained clearly on there. As we are a small independent volunteer run campsite we do not provide fully serviced pitches. We do have electricity on site and a chemical toilet emptying point a short walk from the pitches. Kind regards Mousehole Camping

Liked: Rustic but lovely location. Arrived with football game at one side and cricket game on the other. Fantastically friendly staff, very helpful and always happy to chat. Whilst facilities are basic, everything is within a short amble and adds to the feel of the site.
Disliked: The hill through Newlynn to get to the site! Lol!! Really steep.
