Electric grass pitch
Liked: Great views of the sea, the pitch was nearly level so no need for levelling chocks. Good walk to meanporth beach (about 25-30 mins). Toilets have been improved over the years but are lacking compared to alot of other sites in the area. It's a working farm so you have to expect it. But it would be nicer if these where overhauled and made more enclosed with less bugs and wildlife living inside.
Disliked: Mens toilets Womens toilets

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Nice view of sea.
Disliked: Absolutely disgusted by their service. Me and my family have been all over the UK, staying in cottages and caravans. First time camping and never again because of the owners. We had difficulties setting our tent up- without introducing who they are without a welcome- we were approached with ‘this is ridiculous’. After trying to explain why we took so long trying to set up the tent we were told to ‘Shut up’ CONSTANTLY!!! The woman (who I assume was the owner seeing as she didnt even introduce herself or even give us her name) even assaulted my mum by raising her fingers and pushing it against my mum’s chest. Could not sleep the whole night from fear that the woman would approach us again. We had children under 16 with us so it was a horrific and daunting experience. Do NOT go here if you are trying to have a friendly and welcoming place to stay.
