Great for a Mousehole visit.
Electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Lovely large pitch and so quiet. Great guy when we arrived and showed us the facilities etc.
Short walk to a lovely pub didn’t eat there but food looked amazing and was busy needed to book a table to eat in the village of Paul. Lovely walk into Mousehole and further if you want to walk into Penzance.
Hot showers clean and tidy.
Disliked The facilities was a little far in the rain.
That’s it really.

Amazing
Electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Lou- fantastic facilities and good WiFi throughout, Darren and Lyn are the most hospitable kindest people I have met in a long time. They were so good at showing us where everything was helping us when we needed it offering us fire pits and even helped us when our tent broke it. It’s in a great location, really easy to get to feels really friendly and homely I cannot fault it.

Non-electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked A lovely clean, peaceful site, with helpful and friendly park wardens. Located about a 20 minute walk from Mousehole. Highly recommended. WiFi available and excellent value for money.
Disliked Slight walk to the shower block and toilets that are housed in the football club.

Too expensive for the offering. Too noisy, facilities outdated
Anonymous Electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked I was welcomed very friendly and showed around the facilities.
Disliked Next to the campsite is not only a football field but also a cricket ground. I was there over the weekend and matches were played all day long on Saturday and of course afterwards prepared for the next match until 21:30 with a small tractor, so quite noisy although I was promised it would shortly be over, it wasn’t.
My camping spot was next to the parking space for the cricket ground. So a lot of cars in and out coming. And my optional electric spot was shared with some campers ( would have been nice to be informed); so I didn’t use it not to cause any electrical problems.
I left one day earlier because it was too pricey for the offering and I could barely sleep. When I complained it was of course all my fault. Hospitality is a talent not everyone has.

From the manager: Dear Christine, we are sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay with us , when you arrived we asked you where you would like to be on the site , when we had pitched you , we asked if you were happy with the pitch and you replied yes , it wasn’t until the following morning you expressed you concerns, that you were not happy where we had pitched you. Your electric could have been plugged into the next pitch 20 but you didn’t come to see us and ask. You also said our site was environmentally unfriendly, we keep parts of the grass long with wild flowers for the wildlife, yes the facilities are a little outdated but are kept clean. We are a small site and keep to a 10m pitch set out so people have plenty of room and space. Regards Lynda and Darren
Peaceful site with a good pub nearby
Electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Lovely site with good level pitches. Facilities were first-rate and spotlessly clean. Lots of hot water, loo roll etc. Staff were friendly and all trackways and roads well-maintained. Very quiet and peaceful.
There are wildflower areas which were nice and there's clearly a lot of effort to make the site a pleasant place to be in this regard, with no attempt to overfill/crowd it. It felt very spacious.
Nice views. The site is actually in Paul, just above Mousehole and there's a lovely local pub called the Kings Arms just a 5-10 minute stroll away, along a good track way. Ask staff for directions. It's right opposite the local church with some ancient features. The food looked good, though we didn't eat and the hand-pumped beer was well-kept.
The potwash and shower facilities are accommodated in the nearby football team clubhouse and are big and spacious.
I spent the previous day in A & E in Truro and this was the perfect place to decompress from that.
Disliked Nothing.
