Electric optional grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: The site was lovely, flat grass pitches. Great location. Has a cricket ground and a football pitch.

Disliked: The road up to the campsite has massive potholes and you can’t dodge them.

The showers and toilets are in the football clubhouse, which is a bit of a trek from the pitches. The showers are communal showers.

From the manager: Jon
Thanks for your review.
We explain in our information and on arrival that the showers are shared with the football club so they are a short walk around the pitch.
However, we hope that you found them to be clean and that the showers were hot with good pressure.
We also hope that you found the staff to be helpful, friendly and welcoming.
Regarding the access road, a new tarmac road is being constructed in July which should improve access for campers as part of our ongoing improvements programme.
Thanks again for your review,

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Close to Mousehole, friendly staff at the football club

Disliked: Facilities are far from the pitches, I’d hate to be in a tent and having to get out for the loo in the night! Shower room in need of attention- mould, flaky paint, rusty holders. The shower didn’t get hot either. This site was expensive at £25 for the night given the poor facilities in comparison to other cheaper sites. Had it been a tenner cheaper I’d have given a much better review as you get what you pay for!

From the manager: Hi,

Thanks for leaving a review. Sorry to see you didn't enjoy your stay.
We do wish you had notified us a out the shower at the time, unfortunately surely the trip switch to the power shower had tripped. This would have been a 30 second fix if we had known.

Maybe try us again in the summer, when our full facilities are open and the weather is better.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Great location for walking & only a few miles from Land's End.
Mousehole is a short walk (although a big hill) and is beautiful.
Great food at the pub 5 minutes walk away.
Plenty of room for the dogs.
Enjoyed the football!

Disliked: Only one unisex toilet/shower room for the whole site unless the football toilets were open. On a Saturday morning there was a queue of 4 people and you had no idea whether someone was in the shower or how long you would have to wait. However, it was clear when booking that the site had limited shower/toilet facilities during low season.

From the manager: Hi,

Thanks for leaving us a review, glad you enjoyed your stay and the area around.

Glad you were aware of our facilities at the time of your stay.
Our full facilities are now open, so if you do come back, hopefully there won’t be such a queue.

Kind regards

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The camp site was quiet, no football matches while we were staying. The campsite volunteers were very cheerful our welcome was good.there was water and somewhere to dispose of the chemical toilet contents. The shower was hot the information in relation to the off peak facilities is clear. Signs were clear and the we were lucky with the weather. There is good information in relation to the public transport system, the walk to Mousehole is lovely, we also walked to Penzance via Newlyn and to Lamorna cove. The pub in Paul a 5 minute walk is lovely, reasonably priced and welcoming.

Disliked: We did not dislike anything however the wi fi was very patchy for us this wasn’t important.
I think if the campsite had been a little busier only having one shower and loo together could have been a bit of an issue. Or if they had been closed due to matches being played. The site information is very clear on this point though so it should not be a surprise just something to be aware of if you are camping as a family.
It would have been helpful to have a drain to empty our camper van water tank into before leaving.

From the manager: Hi,

Thanks for leaving a review. Glad you enjoyed our site and your stay in the area.

The shower is never closed during matches and is always available to campers. We do understand that it is not ideal still, however during the low season we do advise that guests are mostly self contained. During the high season, we do not have football matches so this isnt. an issue.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Pleasant area, level hardstanding, good location, peaceful. All facilities (not incl toilet/showers) clean and tidy. Good instructions and we knew exactly what to expect. Arriving and departing hassle free.

Disliked: Wi-fi poor, Disabled shower/loo not the best. Grassed area for our pitch (1) became waterlogged after rain, meaning puddles in the grass including one under our awning. (Other pitches looked fine)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi,

Thanks for leaving a review. Glad you enjoyed our site and your stay in the area.

Sorry your pitch got wet, unfortunately the area does get quite a lot of rain during the winter and spring, we do advise that during the low season the grass pitches aren't to be used.

Please try us again in the summer and enjoy a different climate and atmosphere on site.

Route directions

Please note that the access road from Newlyn is narrow. To access the site, you will need to go over a small ramp, so this site is not recommended for motorhomes over seven metres. When arriving from Penzance, do not use the road via Mousehole village, as it is narrow and unsuitable for larger vehicles. Instead, take the B3315 (Chywoone Hill) from Newlyn, which is signposted Paul and Land’s End.

Local attractions

Fans of BBC costume drama Poldark will find plenty to keep them occupied around here, with many names and places to recognise: Godolphin House, the mines at Botallack and Levant, and Porthcurno beach (Nampara Cove) are all within half an hour of Mousehole Camping and all worth a visit. Of course, if your passions lie less in TV drama and more in the arts, you won’t be let down – catching a show at the Minack Theatre, an open-air theatre carved into the cliffs above Porthcurno, is an absolute must. You can’t very well make a trip to this part of Cornwall and not visit the most westerly point of mainland England… Land’s End is a 25-minute drive from Mousehole Camping. Be sure to get a photo with the famed sign, and stop for a Cornish cream tea before you leave. Anyone drawn to the ocean will have plenty to do too: the top-notch surfing beach at Sennen is 20 minutes away, boat trips out to the Scilly Isles leave Penzance regularly, and the stunning St Michael’s Mount is a short walk along a causeway or an even shorter boat journey from the coast.
