Would definitely stay again
Electric grass pitch
Liked We had a great weekend here!
Amazing sea views and a brilliant location for exploring the surrounding area. When we arrived we tried both contact numbers but couldn’t get an answer, so we just found ourselves a pitch, which was absolutely fine.
We had a huge amount of space with our pitch, which was brilliant. There are animals and a play park for the kids and a great little café on site that does a fabulous breakfast.
Really relaxed, great value
Disliked Just a little general maintenance needed around the toilet facilities , and we weren’t able to get hold of anyone when we arrived, but neither affected our stay.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Open space and animals and play park for the kids. Cafe on site if wanted and relaxed atmosphere. Very central to Falmouth only a short drive away. Beautiful sea views. Price is great and lower than a lot of sites during peak travel times. Laundrette facilities on site along with decent toilets and showers. Large camping pitches.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Gezellige camping. Prachtig uitzicht op zee vanaf alle plekken op de camping. Mooie ruime plekken. Goed cafe. Leuke dieren op de camping. Mooie speelplek voor de kinderen.
Disliked Er komt koud water uit de kranen bij het afwassen, er staan waterkokers bij. Je kunt dus een warm sopje maken met behulp van het kokende water. Het water bij de douches is lekker warm maar je moet wel ontzettend vaak het knopje indrukken omdat hij maar heel kort water geeft, maar op zich niet heel storend.

Loved it
Electric grass pitch
Liked Amazing views. Kids loved the play area and the animals. Showers very hot, never had a wait. Cafe was great plus the on site pizzas. Loved that you could pick you own pitch.
Disliked Only small dislike you had to boil water in the washing up area as it has no hot water, but there are plenty of kettles.
