What customers say
This well-maintained campsite receives consistent praise for its immaculate facilities, spacious pitches, and friendly, helpful staff. Guests highlight the cleanliness of the toilets and showers, the convenience of on-site amenities like the food truck and dog exercise field, and its excellent location for exploring Cornwall. Some minor points include the checkout time and occasional issues with the barrier. WiFi is generally good, though one guest found it slow. No children's play area is noted.

Crantock camping pod
Liked Great facilities, lovely camping pod and the addition of a fridge was great. Really enjoyed the decking outside. Quiet site with respectful neighbours.
Great pot wash, dog wash and wetsuit wash. Flat pitches.
Great location.
Really friendly staff, couldn’t do enough to help if you needed it!
WiFi was a good addition when needed but it was a little slow which meant we took some much needed time away from our phones. :)
Hedges around the pitches helped with privacy.
Meur ras dhis!
Disliked We did hit our head on the pod’s doorway a few times!
Would maybe be helpful to have taps/spigots labelled as drinking water.

A tidy, peaceful site with great size pitches and fantastic facilities
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Everything.
A lovely peaceful site which is well maintained and was perfect for our stay. From the moment we arrived we were greeting with such a lovely warm welcome and all the information we needed.
The pitch was a perfect size for our twin axle tourer and full awning, perfectly level. The site itself was very well maintained and clean throughout. WiFi on the pitch was great, a first for us and kept the teenagers happy.
The facilities were clean and well decorated feeling very new. The laundrette and book swap was great.
The dog was in her element with a lovely enclosed field to run around in and even a dog wash for the end of the day after getting all sandy on the beach.
Everyone we met was lovely and it was nice and quiet in the evenings.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, we will definitely be back!

Immaculate campsite in a great location close to Newquay!
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked - beautiful site.
- really well maintained.
- huge hard standing pitches.
- accessible WiFi which was actually good.
- Nellys restaurant on site which was one of the best meals I have ever had! You need to book in advance. Surf and turf is to die for and such good value for money.
- really dog friendly. We have a dog that becomes anxious when other dogs approach but the site is clear that dogs need to be on a lead which was reassuring to us.
- secure dog exercise field which is also really well maintained.
- facilities are stunning!!!! Toilets and showers are immaculate.
- dog shower and great washing up facilities.
- laundry area with a communal freezer.
- great location, close to Newquay!
- lovely and quiet and peaceful.
- nice to be by the lake watching the fishermen and saw some great wildlife.
- owners were super friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and even offered to take our rubbish for us as he was passing the bins. Went above and beyond! Also upgraded us to a lakeside pitch as it was quiet which was very kind of
Disliked Nothing at all! Can not fault this site. Really is stunning.

Absolutely love it here
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Stopped at Gwinear Camping and honestly… there is absolutely nothing negative we can say about this place. It is stunning.
The setting is beautiful, peaceful and so well looked after. From the moment we arrived it just had that relaxing feel that makes you instantly know you’re going to enjoy your stay.
Pitches are spacious, everything is immaculate and the whole site feels calm and welcoming. You can tell a lot of care and thought has gone into it.
Facilities are excellent too — clean, modern and probably some of the best we’ve come across on our travels so far 👍 There’s also a laundry room… which I will definitely be making use of 😅
Disliked If I had to say something then it would be the shower temperature could be better
