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.

Once again, the site delivered everything…
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Once again, the site delivered everything & more that we needed. We stayed a few months ago without our pup to “suss” the place out as such & we fell in love.
We returned just recently with our pup and the staff were super accommodating with our request to hopefully have a end pitch- not right next to people (if it could be helped)
We will defo now always have here as our stopover when travelling to Newquay .

Love to stay again! We will be back next year!
Non-electric grass pitch (family)
Liked Great views of the airfield and nice and close to Newquay. Lovely little farm shop ( not too expensive either). Food van on site that changes its menu each night - Friday, jacket potatoes, Saturday, pizza, Sunday, fish and chips etc.
Basic toilet block but staff came in to fill up toilet rolls daily. Could do with a clean on the ceiling- lots of large spiders.
Showers lovely and hot just need a clean during busy times.
Cute little park for kids.
Disliked Grass was a bit long being the end of the summer so wet feet on the morning walks.
Google maps tried to take us further down the road.

Lovely place to camp especially if you like planes , nice & clean .
Electric grass pitch
Liked Clean pitch , nice and quiet until the planes went over and loved that even more .
Clean facilities, brilliant little shop with fresh foods . Staff absolutely lovely and welcoming. Lovely location ( make sure you love planes like we do ) not far from beaches will be back .
Disliked We got 2 pitches for us and my son and his wife , they were large pitches and after seeing 7 tents and 7 cars on one pitch I think we should of done the same and used one pitch for us both couples , next time we shall book one pitch .

On the cleanliness grounds we wouldn’t use this site again
Electric grass pitch
Liked Nice place and the owners are lovely, there was a lot of dog mess where we needed to pitch up but the owners sorted it straight away, close to beaches and watching the planes going over is brilliant.
Disliked The cleanliness of the showers and toilets really let this place down, the showers aren’t great anyway but overflowing bins with sanitary wear left on show as they were so full, toilets were pretty disgusting tbh and the shower floors were filthy, a used plaster was still in the shower cubicle 48 hours later and we didn’t once see anyone cleaning these areas, yes it’s a camp site but didn’t expect to not want to use the facilities

Not worth the money we paid.
Electric grass pitch (family)
Liked Large field space for the kids to play, mini shop, fire pits to hire, clean toilets.
Disliked No one patrolling at night so loud music from nearby caravan until 1.50am. Play area needs serious update and seesaw was dangerous (son trapped his toes underneath). Showers spray in all directions other than on your body, had to keep pressing the button every 15 seconds.

Very friendly staff would definitely recommend.
