Liked Live music was laid on Friday night & was very good.
Food outlet that came on site morning and evening was fairly priced.
Washing up area good.
Phone charge station looked look
Large washer & dryer
Plenty of space between pitches as you can go where you like.

Disliked As others have said, shower and toilet are not enough for the size of the site and need some work, they also need to be cleaned more often & toilet paper ran out before 10am. The site was not as busy as it could have been so to see the pressure when only about 60 pitches being used would put me off coming if it was busier.
Little shop is not how it sounds, only a small shed, honestly box, selling a few sweets, teabags & some tin stuff, no milk, bread, nothing cold and no ice creams.
No mention of the live music being on, only a board placed late afternoon so nearly missed it as we went to the beach bar. A lot of people on site didn't get to experienced it, which was a shame as it was very good, so better Comms needed, just mention it at check in as it's a great bonus.
Walk to beach if you are young, fit and health is ok, but hard work if you are not & a bit scary if you had small children/ pram etc as there are no paths just one car narrow lane. Timing is important as it can get busy with people driving too and from the beach, so you have to tuck in.
Beach bar mentioned in write up is not that now, but replacement the food still looked good.
Best views from top field, otherwise only glimpses of beach & sea between the trees on lower fields.

Liked Nothing to like about the site.
Look back at the reviews over the years. Most of the bad reviews are about pitching on a slope, or the seriously disgusting showers and toilets, we can’t all be wrong can we.

Disliked Showers and toilets are disgusting

Liked Great location. Very close to the beach. Able to pitch where you want with no fixed pitch boundaries. Food available on the weekend. Very close to a CoOp around the corner.

Disliked Not enough toilet and shower facilities for the size of the campsite. There was only a single block for 4 fields of camping. Men had only 2 toilets and 2 showers and a urinal. There were 2 "overflow" toilets in a separate 'out house' for both men and women. The showers were very old. One with a blocked drain so stood in dirty water, and the other had a very smelly drain.
No activities for kids. No climbing frame or anything like that.

Liked Beautiful location, very close to Praa Sands beach. Great for dog owners and lots of space for kids to run around. We had a brilliant stay ( 3 nights) and will definitely come back !! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Best thing about this place apart from the above I’ve mentioned, is the freedom to pitch up where you like on the fields, and camp fires and barbecues are allowed too as long as they are safe. No stickler staff checking up on you constantly-they just leave you to enjoy the beautiful area in peace and are very welcoming on arrival. We will be returning for sure! I’ve been camping a lot to other places and this is by far the best campsite, very well priced where you can just totally relax. Down at the beach ( 5mins walk down the rd), there’s an amazing beach bar, food is very tasty, next door to this is The Welloe where again, the food is lovely, must try the pizzas, all great staff in both places. There’s a wetsuit/ bodyboard hire place, accessible toilets and a beautiful stretch of beach - fantastic for everyone and dog friendly. Just left today and already planning our next trip back, thank you for making our first trip to Cornwall so pleasant. Best field to stay in is one closest to facilities , but get there early if you can.

Disliked Toilets could have perhaps better facilities and an update in showers but that’s it and to be honest it’s pretty minor considering you’ve got everything else with the scenery and location and is just mainly cosmetic. The utility room is great, fast washing machine cycles and a hot dryer to dry off clothes at a reasonable price- bring coins! Little honesty shop in sure where you can get a couple of basics like washing liquid.

Liked Great location, walking distance from beach and local pubs/restaurant. Chilled out environment, lots of space to pitch and guarantee privacy. Good price!

Disliked Bathroom/shower facilities could be improved, however they work. For men, the fact that there are only two showers leads to queues sometimes. There is not really a reception, so for someone it might be not very clear where to go/what to do in case they need anything, especially early in the morning/late in the evening. Mobile charging station does not work.

Liked We've just returned from a lovely week's holiday in Cornwall. We stayed at Higher Pentreath Farm Camp Site and had a great time.

The site is lovely and quiet, with plenty of space. We stayed in Henry's Field and enjoyed the stunning views over the bay at Praa Sands beach.

The owners have thought of everything and have included lots of little touches including the plaques with wide games.

They had motivational quotes in the ladies and the facilities in general were clean and tidy, well equipped and well maintained.

My partner and I have both said that this is a new favorite camp site and we will be back!

Highly recommended and excellent value for money.

Thank you.

Liked Handy to have a washer and dryer on site

From the manager: Hi Victoria, I'm really sorry to hear this and wish you had come in and told us when you were here, we could have come straight out and gone through them again, and with the amount of people on site that have been more than pleased with the facilities, i can only imagine you unfortunately used hem after others were in them and got them to this point. However as ever i have used your feedback and gone back to who cleans the showers and toilets and reiterated what needs to be done etc. I was also camping over the weekend , on site and i found them to smell clean and fresh but did see areas for improvement. I have fed this all back.
Regarding not being able to charge your phone, I'm not sure why, we have on site facilities for this, located in the laundry room with full instructions on how to use them.

Liked Great site, loads of space, clean WC and Showers and the price was more than fair, would stay again
