Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Have stayed at this site twice now this year. The owners are really friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent with amazing showers and the toilets all have sinks and mirrors. There's a small shop onsite that just offers the basics but the prices are very fair and if there's no-one about it works on an honesty box system. Would totally recommend to anyone.

Disliked: The door to the fridge shed needs raising a bit to avoid banging you head - though that's my fault as well for being careless.

Liked: What a great little camp site. Simple, but top quality showers and toilets. Beautifully kept, good size pitches and all in a great location to explore Cornwall. 10 mins walk to a lovely pub and a bus stop to Redruth and Falmouth.

Local attractions

So, to those coastlines… Cornwall’s north and south coasts are both full of gorgeous places to visit, so it’s worth making time for both. On the northern side, start with the beaches at Porthtowan (15 minutes) or Portreath (20 minutes), then head to the stunning sands of Gwithian (25 minutes). The excellent town of St Ives (half an hour) should be on the schedule too, for its mix of coast views and top-notch art galleries. Heading south instead, stop off at Pendennis Castle (20 minutes) and Trebah Garden (20 minutes) en route to the sands at Maenporth beach (15 minutes). Venture a little further and you’ll hit the spectacular Lizard Peninsula with a drive of about 40 minutes or so. For more of Cornwall’s top days out, look at Newquay Zoo (25 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes), Eden Project (45 minutes) and Land’s End (50 minutes).
