Electric grass pitch
Liked Sehr, sehr schöner Campingplatz. Sehr ruhig, sehr saubere Anlagen, sehr freundliches Personal. Der große Hundeauslauf ist auch sehr praktisch, da auf der anliegenden Straßen das Gassi gehen eher schwierig ist.
Disliked Die Decke der sanitären Einrichtungen sollte einmal überarbeitet werden. Durch die hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit bilden sich hier und da Schimmelflecken.

Liked What an amazing stay! The site is in an excellent location for exploring the local area and with an easy drive to some of the most beautiful beaches. The pitches were the perfect size for a camper van and room to relax around it. We were appreciative of the lovely Cornish hedge and trees surrounding the pitch so that our dog could snooze in the shade. We even spotted glow worms! The campsite facilities were immaculate, it was nice to end the day with a warm shower and to be able to pop to the campsite shop for essentials. We will definitely be back!

Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked Great position for exploring the west of Cornwall. Very clean facilities.
Disliked We have stayed at Cardinney about 6 times now, but sadly we were very disappointed this time. The pitch that we had was really not ready; the grass had not been cut, the hedges looked like they may have been cut but not at all well. We used up our £2.00 of electricity and then just had it cut off. Apparently the the option to pay to top it up wasn't working.
In short, we have enjoyed staying at this site before, but we will probably not be returning.

From the manager: Good morning
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Please accept our apologies that the site was not to its usual excellent standard during your recent visit.
Unfortunately it became apparent over the weekend that the staff had not been maintaining any areas. We have taken appropriate action, taken over the site personally and started getting the site back to how it has looked previously.
I have added a credit to your account with us so that you can return and experience Cardinney at its best, as you have in the past.
We apologise again.

This is a caravan site that has seen better days
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Clean and spacious shower/toilet facilities (although they were only cleaned once during our weeks stay).
Location is very good for exploring West Cornwall.
WiFi on our pitch was OK
Disliked Restricted use of electricity to £2 a day, which isn't even enough to have hot water.
New wangfangled electricity app that does not work and did not work for our whole stay.
Pitches and general site is unkempt and tired.
Dog waste bin in dog exercise area was full to overflowing and wasn't emptied during our weeks stay.
Rubbish bins were full to overflowing and not emptied during our weeks stay. We witnessed a number of rats in the bin/washing up area.
