What customers say
This campsite receives widespread praise for its excellent location, offering stunning views and a short, convenient walk to Padstow. Visitors consistently highlight the exceptional cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the toilets and showers, and commend the friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention limited facilities like dishwashing sinks and a lack of electric hook-up, alongside some sloping pitches. Overall, it's considered a highly recommended, well-maintained site.

Liked Location
Nice Hot Showers
Disliked Unfortunately a family with 3 young children set up camp next to us around 9pm and were making lots and lots of noise until 12am with the parents not caring the whole campsite was quiet/sleeping. Not the sites fault but impacted our stay.
I also forgot to book a site with power and there wasn’t an option to add this. Again, not the sites fault but a nice to have.

Perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and charm!
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked A spotless, beautifully kept campsite just a short stroll from Padstow, with stunning views and the warmest, most hard-working owners you could hope to meet. Loved the location - lovely walk into Padstow, plus right near a supermarket and bus stop. Toilets and showers were honestly the cleanest I’ve seen on a campsite, and the waste disposal set-up was easy.
Disliked Nope. Not a single thing. If I had to find something, it’d be that I had to go home!

Great Value Stop Near Padstow – Will Definitely Return
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked We stayed at Padstow Camping with our 9m twin-axle motorhome and found it to be a great value spot, especially given its location. It’s very close to town, with an easy walk either along the road or a slightly longer but scenic route via the estuary.
The site has clean but basic facilities, which were perfectly fine for our stay. It’s also right next to Tesco, which is incredibly handy for stocking up.
Disliked The only downsides were that the water tap had a padlock (meaning you need to arrange access) and there was no chemical toilet point.
