Liked This was just right - simple camping, basic clean facilities, chose your own pitch, plenty of room in August and close to beach, coast path and town.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The site is well maintained. It is very simple with two toilets, a shower and a washing up station and ‘Recycling’ . It has a relaxed vibe and the sites following approach to certain things attributes to it: You can turn up and pitch your tent where there is space ( there was lots as it’s a big field). Pitch up and down any time you please which really takes the pressure off. Fire pits and wood on site free to use and accessible. Other campers we met were good vibes and easy going. The location is perfect it’s just so peaceful and quiet in the middle of the Cornish country side and a short distance from places of interest to visit. The location is just stunning and we recommend a walk to Crackington Haven from the site, directions provided on the shower room wall.
Disliked Sadly during our stay the shower was broken so it was just cold water.
The recycling could have been more on point with specific bins.
There was no freezer option for freezer blocks. We probably would have stayed longer if we could have optimised the use of our cool box.
The signage for the site is not very prominent.

From the manager: Hey guys we're glad you enjoyed your stay and out peaceful site. Just to address the few issues mentioned. We do offer both icepack freezing (there's a self service freezer) and device charging, sorry if this wasn't clear. The shower is now back up and running with plenty of hot water after having the boiler repaired. We have specific bins for general waste, tind and plastic, and glass. Although we do have plans for an improved recycling system for next season.
Many Thanks
Jake

Liked Peaceful, back to basics with a really great shower and 2 clean toilets. There’s a very well stocked shop 15 mins walk down the road. Friendly welcome
Disliked It’s a bit of a hike off the coast path if you’re walking but there is a bus.
