What customers say
This family-run site is praised for its spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. Located conveniently for exploring Cornwall, it offers a well-stocked farm shop and a pleasant atmosphere. Some guests noted minor issues with shower design and the cost of Wi-Fi, while the proximity to the airport means occasional plane noise. Despite these minor points, many reviewers express a desire to return.

Terrible. Over priced. Facilities unclean
Electric grass pitch
Liked Liked Leaving after only 1 night!
It was good watching the planes.
The farm shop was good.
Disliked We were literally in an unbowed tough field with cow oats at our pitch! Electric hook up wire passed over the hedge! Toilet and shower block were very dirty and shower spray rubbish. For £54 per night I expected much better. By far the worst campsite we have stayed on in Cornwall.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Peaceful campsite, friendly staff and reasonable farm shop. Lovely to have the food van and Barista coffee van onsite most mornings too. Loved walking around the fishing lakes, very beautiful.
Disliked Shower heads need changing as the water sprays in every direction apart from on your head!
Would be really nice to have a map of the site issued on arrival so you know where all the amenities are and which pitch you are on.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Great location. Friendly staff when we checked in. Relatively flat pitches. Its a farm campsite so expect a farm style campsite!
Child enjoyed seeing the airplanes regularly for neighbouring airport.
Disliked Toilets could use some improvements, 1 toilet not attached to wall in ladies.
Showers too could use updating, reminiscent of old style swimming bath showers, managing to soak almost all of the shower cubicle (including bench for dry towel/clothes).
Lots of spiders too - i know theyre natural but if you dont like spiders it could be a little alarming.
Lots of vacant, seasonal caravans close to facilities so lots of dark area to walk through at night which didnt always feel safest (although it did make for good star spotting)!

A place of calm and quiet, good facilities
Electric grass pitch
Liked Travelled with one teen and our neurodivergent daughter.....it was our FIRST time camping ever so chose this place because of the space and surroundings.
I was not disappointed.
Electric pitch in 20 acre field provided space and lovely sunset views....
Near enough to town to be there by car in 15 mins but nice to return to quiet
