What customers say
This secluded, peaceful single-pitch campsite offers stunning views and a relaxing escape. Guests praise the friendly and welcoming hosts, the well-maintained pitch with amenities like a fire pit, BBQ, and compost toilet. Its quiet rural setting is ideal for those seeking solitude and nature, with beautiful walks and stargazing opportunities. While the access lane is narrow, it is generally manageable for campervans. Some visitors noted the lack of Wi-Fi and nearby shops, which they found to be a positive aspect.

Non-electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch
Liked Quite and secluded but only a 10 minute drive to Marazion.
Disliked Some very tight lanes getting to the site especially if using Waze! It seems to take you of the main roads and through the tight lanes.

I look forward to visiting again. Thank you Andy and Penny.

Liked Thanks to Penny and Andy for a very warm welcome to their beautiful pitch in the heart of the countryside. Nothing is too much trouble. I so enjoyed watching the foxes and badgers which they feed from a comfy chair just feet away.

Liked Great pitch, lovely views and very private. Picnic bench was great to have and nice to be on gravel and have a grassed area to relax ! Compost toilet worked fine and useful to store the wood for the fire when it rained 👍🏼 Cute pony in field nearby too! Couple who run it were super lovely!
