Lovely quiet site and really friendly…
Electric hardstanding and grass pitch (large)
Liked Lovely quiet site and really friendly owners. Shower and toilet block was modern and clean - and warm! Loved the fact they had a little borrowing section with books and games to borrow whilst you stay - gave us an entertaining evening tucked up cozy in our caravan during the storm. Loved our stay ❤️ perfect place for spending time together

Friendly owner! Whole place just needs a good deep clean
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (medium)
Liked Lovely area and pitch was a great size. Had electric hook up. Nice and quiet. Easy to get to and great if you like spotting helicopters going over. Owner was really friendly. Really nice size dog field. WiFi was amazing and the shop had local produce but could do with more day to day items milk, bread etc.
Disliked There are a few things that could do with improving on. There is a disabled toilet which was a great size. The shower head desperately needs replacing which was mentioned to the owner who has said she will replace. The loos are all loose to the floor as are some of the loo seats in the ladies. They really need a good clean. The freezers need to go. There is left over food in them and are extremely rusty and dirty on the outside side and full of ice. The outside sinks need a deep clean as well as they are covered in a mould of some sort. The dog field isn’t secure as there are large gaps under the gates.

From the manager: just a couple of notes with regards to your review- thank you for telling me about the shower head that is now being sorted- if only you could have said about the rest to me rather than putting it on a review as we were there talking for a long time, the freezers may not look the best on the outside but inside they are clean (and have been defrosted) and the food inside belong to campers on the site which is the purpose of them. The gaps under the gates in the dog field will be looked into and sorted and the sinks have been thoroughly cleaned
Being in our own, basic but…

We were so happy with our stay and would love to return! Thank you!
Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked The lady who I believe runs the site was so helpful, welcoming and kind. She gave us 2 pitch options close to the toilet blocks as requested and answered the phone instantly to answer any questions. The toilets blocks were as clean as you’d expect and had signs on the walls saying they were cleaned regularly but if they were not meeting standards for us to let them know so they can sort it. The showers were a perfect temperature and pressure and we loved the little stands they provided to put our toiletries on. There were 2 communal freezers available with lots of room as well as a fridge which was very helpful and even a book and game borrowing section! We didn’t get a change to try the sites drinks/food but they were very reasonably priced and the shop was open for good period times and also said ring the bell inbetween these times! I 100% recommend this site to any quiet families or couples needed a relaxing but welcoming site to stay which is only a short drive to Penzance and other seaside destinations.

We already can not wait to come back here! A brilliant time had😊
Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Everything!! Can not find anything negative at all. This was our first camping experience with a campervan and there was a little apprehension there, especially on my partners side as there were things she was worried about. We had booked just two nights there, not sure if we'd get to the second. Fast forward to the first morning waking up to the silence, a cuppa in the sun and we knew we were staying put for the week😊 We were able to extwnd our stay, no problem at all. The staff there were super friendly and helpful, the shop there was well stocked with all you could need while there (and very
reasonable, not silly and overpriced like most) There was a food van that visited on the Thursday evening, which had a great menu and looked amazing, we didnt have anything as we'd already made our own plans off site, but would have definitely had something if we had stayed in for the night. Showers and toilets were spotless, very regularly cleaned. Staff always about if you did need them. We had a wonderful time here and didn't want to come away. May have been our first camping trip, but most definitely will not be the last!😊
Disliked Nothing at all to dislike here!
