What customers say
This beautiful, quiet, and eco-friendly campsite is praised for its peaceful atmosphere, plentiful wildlife, and thoughtful facilities including charging packs, a fridge/freezer, and hammocks. Guests appreciate the clean, well-maintained eco-friendly facilities and the sympathetic approach to nature. The location is ideal for exploring western Cornwall, with Gweek village a short, pleasant walk away. A bumpy access road and occasional helicopter noise from a nearby navy base were noted, but overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits.

Beautiful, nature-friendly and kind owners!
Pitch I non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked A beautiful, quiet and eco friendly campsite. We loved the spring meadows full of wildflowers and butterflies. We even saw a barn owl hunting next to our tent in the evening!!
We forgot one of our sleeping mats and the owner was kind enough to let us borrow two of his own! Really ideal location if you want to explore western Cornwall. And the local village gweek, only a short walk away, is really nice and an excellent base.

Anonymous Pitch A electric hardstanding and grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We love the gentle, simplicity of this site. Only pitches and paths are cut. Wildlife is plentiful. The owners clearly aim for us to have the minimal impact on the environment. All the facilities are clean with eco friendly products available to use.
Most importantly it’s very relaxing. We love staying here, it’s our forth visit, and looking forward to our next visit.

A really lovely stay
Electric hardstanding and grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A lovely site with lots of thoughtful extras such as power-banks to borrow, a fridge and freezer free to use and hammocks to hang out in. The showers were great and facilities were well thought out. Gweek is just 10 minutes down the hill which is really pretty with an amazing shop and nice pub
Disliked Maybe the bins and scrap to be reused could be screened away

From the manager: Thank you !
Excellent site, clean facilities, owner was really helpful & friendly.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Campsite was really quiet and safe for kids to run around and play and just be kids. Little playground and trampoline were nice extras for the kids. Toilets, showers and washing up areas were clean. Nice little walk to take the dog.
