What customers say
Elysian Fields is praised for its exceptional, clean, and uniquely designed shower facilities, spacious pitches, and friendly, helpful staff. Its convenient location makes it ideal for exploring Cornwall's beaches and attractions. The on-site tavern is a popular amenity. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor issues were noted, including occasional muddy pitches, inconsistent Wi-Fi, and some found the on-site shop expensive. Despite these minor points, many guests express a desire to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Overall the campsite itself is beautiful!
Electric grass pitch (XL)
Liked Coming from someone that only goes camping to make the rest of the family happy……This is by far the nicest camp site we have stayed on. All staff are very friendly.
The bathrooms are exceptional, very quirky, each with its own style and cleaned regularly throughout the day!!
The playground is an added bonus, my daughter loved making new friends there.
Lovely little bar (Tony’s Tavern) which had a nice garden area to enjoy a cold beer in the sunshine! The staff even went out of their way to russle us up a late night pizza after they had closed so we didn’t go without eating! Nothing was too much trouble.
Elysian Fields is within reach of many beaches and towns to visit.
The owner is friendly and has two German Shepard’s that barely leave his side and are absolutely no bother at all.
I would definitely recommend this site to friends.
Disliked Certain individuals let down our stay when they let there off lead ridgeback come and attack my rottie who was always on a lead, and tried to say his dog wanted to “play and sniff my dogs ass” and that we shouldn’t be walking our dog around the field like he owned it! (Growling and lunging onto my dogs face is not play!) I have a rottie, not a chihuahua, I think we know the difference between rough play and aggression!! That same ridgeback also attacked the most friendly frenchie two days prior who was also on a lead going for a walk.
Safe to say I had my fair share of words spoken!
Irresponsible owners are my pet hate!!
All dogs with the EXCEPTION of the owners Dogs (we are visiting their home) should be on leads at all times.

Amazing Cornwall campsite
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Amazing site, so much to offer, lovely staff, 10/10 toilet and shower facilities, we camp alot of these toilets and showers have been the nicest and cleanest we have had so far! We loved it so much we stayed and extra night!
Disliked Nothing at all!

Amazing facilities. Large site, not crowded. Friendly staff.
Electric grass pitch (super)
Liked Excellent space for the kids to play. The super pitch we had was large enough. Water and electric hook up very easy to access. Facilities were amazing. It was busy on the last couple of days we were there but still did not have to wait for toilet or shower. It never felt crowded and the staff were really friendly.
The table tennis table was great, there is a good pub on site and a small park a short walk away. A good location near Praa Sands and other great locations. Would definitely choose this site if we were to return to Cornwall.
Disliked The only thing I would look to improve would be a hand sanitiser dispenser in the toilets to improve the hygeine of the site. A minor improvement.

Super site, clean facilities, shame we had a muddy pitch.
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Super site and great facilities including amazing showers.
The tavern is ok, we went one night and it was just us so seemed a little out of place, food ok.
Location is perfect.
Disliked Real downside for us was the pitch, it had lots of muddy patches which transferred into our tent especially when it rained. There were plenty of grass pitches around us so we should have asked to move really. Other than that we cannot fault the site, definitely we back.

Excellent site would recommend it to any family
Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)
Liked This is our 4th year staying at this site. We love it! We stayed for 7 nights traveled from St Helens. The staff are lovely Jackie goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is the best it can be. The food in Tony’s tavern is very nice the chef is very friendly. They also have been on tap so that’s a bonus. All the facilities are very clean and the site is well maintained all in all it’s a lovely site and would highly recommend it to family’s wanting to stay in Cornwall as it’s quite near everything that you would like to go see really so thank you again to all the staff at Elysian fields thank you for a lovely stay.
Disliked Not really a dislike the only thing is the shop doesn’t have strict opening times but it’s not really an issue. Also could do with some hand wash in the shower rooms.

A lovely place to stay

Liked Warm welcome, clean facilities, flat pitch in the shade and a lovely bar on site.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked We had an amazing stay at Elysian Fields. Tony was a wonderful host offering lots of useful local information and welcoming us to his famous Tavern on site.
We loved the two local villages with pubs, each a few minutes walk away, as well as the beautiful Praa Sands which is only a five minute drive away.
The field is flat with plenty of shade and the electric hook up was simple to use. The shower blocks were a real highlight with plenty of hot water and unique individual and stylish design.
We will definitely be back!
Disliked Everything was amazing!

Peaceful stay with good facilities and nearby amenities
Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)
Liked The chill vibe. It was quiet for a Saturday.
Great showers. Hot, unlimited water. Clean bathroom facilities with even a hairdryer!
Friendly locals passing by on the path around the site, stopping for a chat.
Wildlife: Some very brave robins coming to eat from our hands and we saw some bats in a nearby field.
Easy access to local pub in the next village (10 min walk) and quick drive to the big supermarket.
Near to the coast and some amazing walks.
Disliked Shame we couldn’t access the shop and bar which were both closed when we arrived (3pm Saturday).
