Clean facilities, really friendly staff, lacked any kind of atmosphere
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Toilets were clean and the staff were really friendly
Disliked The site was our least favourite as it was pretty empty and totally lacked any kind of atmosphere at all. We wondered if it was a travellers site.
Enjoyed our stay just couple of things let it down.
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Very peaceful and relaxing, clean facilities.
Disliked Pitches were a bit weedy and poorly maintained, bar and was closed during our stay. Man in a permanent pitched van urinating up the hedge wasn’t pleasant when your 50m from the toilet block.

Great site, big pitches, friendly staff.
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked We had a great stay here! The motorhome pitches are well laid out, offering plenty of space along with water, drainage, and EHU right on the pitch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the site was well maintained.
We didn’t use the toilet block, so we can’t comment on that, but we really liked the ANPR-controlled barrier for easy and secure access.
It’s a shame that the clubhouse suffered storm damage and hasn’t been repaired yet, but this didn’t affect us at all in our self-contained motorhome.
Overall, it’s a fantastic base for exploring Cornwall—great value, a great location, and we’d happily stay again!
Disliked There are signs all around that say "Dogs must be on a lead at all times" but sadly this is not mentioned on check-in nor enforced.
Be aware of where you are in Cornwall, as there is not a lot on your doorstep, but using your motorhome or car, you are right between Padstow, Wadebridge and Newquay.
From the manager: Hello Craig, thank you for your review, we do have a new bar facility opening in the next few weeks, and we also have a new park warden Matt who will be making sure dogs are kept on leads in the future. we hope you do visit again.
Thanks Becky
