Jade camping pod
Liked: Lovely campsite, it has a breakfast stand and good showers and toilets. The staff are super friendly. We had the best time. We stayed in a camping pod with a double bed and it had enough room for a blow up bed. Great location for traveling by car and even has a bus to St Ives. 45min walk to Hell Mouth cliffs. It's a very beautiful area.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad that you had the best time and found our pod had enough room for you. It’s lovely that you found the location good for being able to reach other beautiful areas that we have around us. Jayne and Mike

Electric grass pitch
Liked: Everything. This is our second visit to the old stables, we even had exactly the same spacious pitch as last year :) I can’t recommend it enough if you just want a calm and relaxing place to stay (yes you can hear the road occasionally but we live on a noisy road so this was quieter than home so not a problem for us!) The showers and toilet areas are always spotlessly clean and no matter what time of day we showered there was always hot water. The washing up area also always had hot water at all times. The coffee cake from the office is delicious, I even managed to get a slice for the drive home. They also have a breakfast van on site opened on selected days, I can only comment on the cappuccino’s I brought as I didn’t purchase food but it was very nice and hot and very reasonably priced. 1 star rating for WiFi only because I don’t know if it available as I didn’t ask because I didn’t need it.
Disliked: Having to come home
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for visiting us again and making the time to write such a glowing review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us again and found our site as calm and relaxing as last time and the facilities spotless and you were able to purchase a piece of coffee cake to go. We don’t have Wi fi, but we do have a really good 4/5 G signal, which we run the business from daily, but great that you didn’t need it. We look forward to you visiting again next year. Jayne and Mike

Liked: We had lots of room. There were plenty of toilets and showers that were clean. It is in a good spot for Hayle and Gwithian beaches. They have a breakfast hut there most mornings where you could get hot drinks and something to eat, hot out cold. Owner was very welcoming.
Disliked: Nothing about the site itself. You need a car really unless you’re happy walking along quite busy roads.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you found our facilities clean and plentiful and us welcoming. It’s great that you will recommend us to your friends and visit again in the future. We appreciate that our location won’t be for everyone as we are not central to everything, but we are only a short distance from the bus stop with buses this time of year every 15mins. There is also an open top bus that will stop outside the gate if you don’t wish to walk on the road. Details of the timetable is available in the office. We hope to meet you again in the future.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you found the site nice and clean and that you will recommend us to your friends. We dont advertise that we have Wifi and have no plans to have it in the immediate future, as our focus is on having great facilities on site and keeping prices as affordable as possible. We understand that Wi fi is important for some people, however we do run our business from the office using the 4/5g signal which is excellent across the site. Jayne and Mike
