Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked: - friendly owner - perfect location with 10 mins driving to Lidl and also loads of attractions around - toilet and showers were really clean - three big sinks for washing dishes were so handy (even sponges and washing liquids provided) - have a grass protected area for dogs to enjoy off leash
Disliked: - there were only one mini fridge and two mini freezers (it could be much better if there were bigger) - there was no water tap next to our tent so have to fill our water tank next to the others (which might be annoying for them) - every pitch had their power extensions but power distribution was done by long cables running over trees or cable extensions on the ground wrapped by some plastic (not sure how safe is that so need some proper cabling under the ground)

Liked: Owner and family are lovely. Facilities are fresh and clean Campfires allowed Easy access from main road (though not close to it) Good pitches with well marked out spaces. Good location with plenty to do all around. Good shelter on campervan pitches.
Disliked: Crepe stall was only there for one night (they were delicious, could have eaten them all weekend)

Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked: Owners have just taken over the place and were very friendly. On request, we were also allowed to move to a pitch that we liked better. Pitches are even and protected from the wind by hedges.
Disliked: The sanitary facilities were very dirty and were only cleaned very superficially. There was a rubbish separation station next to the washing up area which was not emptied often enough. The public freezers did not appear to have been cleaned and sanitised for some time.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I complete dispute this review- the toilet and shower facilities are cleaned thoroughly at least once every day but are checked throughout the day. The public fridges and freezers are again cleaned and maintained regular and are not dirty on the inside. I also came around to you a few times and checked everything was ok with you for your stay which you never said anything to us, so that we could have sorted out any of your issues.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: We were very impressed with Gunwalloe Caravan Park. The site was well managed and had everything we needed. The pitches were sheltered but spacious, with water and electric hookups, as required. The shower block is new and kept clean. The owners, Claire and Brian are very friendly and made us very welcome. The site is ideally situated for exploring the Lizard peninsula, with the lovely Church Cove a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay, and our only disappointment was that our holiday was over too soon! We would definitely go back another year. Thank you!

Liked: Washing up facilities was good.
Disliked: Showers and toilets are awful, was seen them cleaned once in 6 days, dog poo all over the grass, photos are very deceiving. Showers stopped working half way through showering me and my 3 children.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for this review- can i just reply and say the showers are cleaned everyday to which you wouldn't have seen as it was when you were out each day, and they are checked again morning and evening. All owners of dogs are reminded to pick up after their dog and i walk around the site every morning and evening checking for cleanliness - including picking up your rubbish. As for the cold showers that was due to a power failure in the shower block after your electric connection was left out in the wet and tripped everything off, to which it was sorted and the water came back on again.
