Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Pitches were very specious, park was gorgeous and well kept, bathroom was modern and clean, bus stop was a 10 minute walk through the top field to the Lizard and Kennack Beach was a 10 minute walk from the park entrance - staff were helpful and friendly, even leaving the children a chocolate Easter egg early Sunday morning… lovely touch!! Thank you for a great stay, we will definitely be back.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a fantastic stay at Silver Sands campsite. The pitches were massive, giving everyone plenty of space, and the whole site was spotless with excellent facilities throughout.
There’s also a lovely walk down to the beach, which made the location even more special. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the little extra touches really made a difference our kids were especially grateful for the Easter eggs left for them, which was such a thoughtful gesture.
We wouldn’t hesitate to return to Silver Sands and would highly recommend it to families looking for a clean, spacious and friendly campsite.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked We love this site. Been several times before camping in a tent, this time we went with our camper van. Lovely big spacious pitches. The newly refurbished shower block was excellent. The site always looks immaculately cared for and clean. Its a great touring spot for all around the Lizard peninsula. Will be back!
Disliked Nothing to dislike about this site at all.

Another fab visit
Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch
Liked This visit was our third this year, we loved it the first time in May, booked for middle of July, then again end of august.
We received the same warm welcome on this visit as we did on our first. The location and peaceful atmosphere is amazing. It is the kind of place that attracts a really nice friendly group of people.
It’s fantastic for the children who come with their families, there’s a play park, sand pit, and area for tots.
Because the site is not a massive busy site, there is only need for one facilities block, it has a laundrette, wash up area with a fridge freezer for guest use. A family bathroom, and then the ladies and gents shower and toilets. Around the back of the facilities is the cassette emptying point. They are not brand new, but are kept very clean, the water pressure is fab in the showers, the toilets flush very efficiently.
We love the location to the dog friendly beach, it’s just about 10 miles s walk downhill through a wooded area to the beach.
There are all the supermarkets available in Helston, which is about a 20 minute Drive, there’s also restaurants, take aways, pubs there. Or just a short walk over the fields takes you to kuggar that has potters bar, a cafe, Thai takeaway I think is Thursday/Friday and Saturday from 5pm.
All in all, we love the site.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Wir waren eine Woche mit Wohnwagen dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Betreiber des Campingplatzes ist sehr freundlich und zugewandt, anders als auf vielen Plätzen in England war der Platz durch viele Bäume und Sträucher schön gestaltet
Disliked Die Sanitärgebäude sind etwas veraltet aber sauber und erfüllen ihren Zweck

Really nice little site in a remote area. Would go again.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The pitch was spot on, flat, sheltered from the wind and right next to an electric point. The pitch was in a really dark area so at night the stars were on full display and you could hear the sea. The site wasn’t rammed full of tents so it was really nice. We had bats out above the tent in the evening, a very friendly Robbin in the hedge that knew when breakfast would be and cows in the next field. The kids play area is really quite good and there are freezers in the washing block for your cold blocks.
Disliked The toilet block is quite tired and small for the size of the site and it’s a 20 min drive to the Supermarket in Helston if you run out of supplies. The walk to the beach is down a very worn and uneven path with a long drag back up a steep rocky hill if you have any mobility issues. The Wi-Fi on site kept dropping out which drove the kids up the wall.
