This is a well-maintained, friendly family-run site with a convenient farm shop. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally clean and plentiful. Its location is praised for its proximity to beaches and Newquay, with some guests enjoying the nearby airport for plane spotting. Minor issues with shower pressure and occasional cleanliness concerns have been noted, and some guests found the Wi-Fi expensive.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Welcoming staff on reception/in the shop.
Choice of pitch when we arrived.
There was 4 of us with two campers and we were allowed to be on one pitch together, the pitches are 10m x 10m and it’s plenty of room for two camper vans and still had space to relax etc.

Would recommend, quite exciting to see the aeroplanes take off too.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely dog walks around the fishing ponds which had a range of wildlife thriving on the many ponds. The well stocked reception and shop with a good variety of quality cornish produce. Friendly and helpful staff. Good facilities on the campsite, very clean and well maintained.

Electric grass pitch (family)
Liked Cleanliness, entertainment, pitch sizes, location and friendliness of staff.
Disliked Patrons were allowed to leave the club area very late in the evening without being asked to be quiet, resulting in some very offensive language being shouted very loudly in the middle of the night.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Clean facilities, friendly owners, nice little shop for simple BBQ food (sausages, burgers, chicken) and the play area was a real bonus for our 2.5 year old
Disliked Couldn't fault it really. As others have said, the airport nearby wasn't really an issue for us. No late/early morning flights when we were there, not sure if the bank holiday would have affected this.

Well maintained, good facilities, friendly staff, cosy site.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Well maintained site. We stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed our stay. Farm shop on site was very handy and reasonably priced. Facilities were good - an abundance of toilets and showers so you’re not all queuing for one cubicle and pretty clean. Decent pot wash area and outdoor showers. Right by Newquay airport but I wouldn’t let that put you off. Last plane is around 9pm and first is around 8am depending on the day - really not disruptive at all and it’s quite to nice to occasionally watch a plane go by. 5 minute drive to watergate beach and about 10-15 mins to Newquay. Overall great site and friendly staff.

There is noise from the airport but that’s expected and doesn’t start too early or carry on too late.
