What customers say
This is a quiet, peaceful, and friendly campsite offering a back-to-basics experience in a beautiful rural location. Guests appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the hot showers, and the convenient access to the South West Coast Path. The spacious field allows for flexible pitching and the availability of fire pits adds to the rustic charm. While some feel an additional shower would be beneficial during peak times, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors expressing a desire to return.

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked We just had an awesome bank holiday weekend at this site. Being able to arrive & leave at any time was a real relaxing bonus & u can pitch where u like. Josh, who was looking after the site for the weekend, welcomed us on arrival & checked in each day to make sure everyone was happy. It’s a great location, walking distance to the costal path & a short drive in any direction to north Cornwall’s many beautiful beaches & spots. So peaceful. The toilets and hot shower are kept clean at all times. We love a campfire & fire wood is available on site.
This is a back to basics, rustic, lovely site. We will definitely be back.
Disliked Not a dislike at all, as it’s down to us to have the gear, just so others know, but u need a car cool box or something like this if car camping with awning like us to keep any food cool as we only had freeze blocks & I don’t think they offer this.
