What customers say
This campsite offers spacious pitches, spotless facilities, and incredible coastal views towards Tintagel. Visitors consistently praise owner Colin for his exceptional friendliness, helpfulness, and willingness to go above and beyond. The location is ideal for exploring Boscastle and Tintagel, with wonderful coastal walks directly from the site. While generally described as basic, the facilities are consistently noted as very clean and well-maintained. Some reviewers mention the site can be windy due to its exposed location, but this does not detract from their overall positive experiences and desire to return.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lots of level grass field camping, beautiful views of the sea and coastline. Dark skies for watching the stars. Peace and quiet! A short driving distance to a great selection of local pubs and restaurants and a farm shop. Free showers and a well thought out area for the washing up room and bathrooms.
