What customers say
This campsite offers spacious, private pitches separated by hedges, alongside excellent, consistently clean toilet and shower facilities. Visitors praise the stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners. Its location is ideal for exploring Cornwall. Minor points include difficulty finding the entrance initially and occasional noise from a nearby workshop, though the owners are actively addressing feedback.

Just fabulous!
Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked What a fabulous place… I told Amy when I left this morning that I wasn’t going to recommend her beautiful site to anyone because I don’t want it to get too busy 🤣
I just had to leave a review tho.
From the welcome text on the morning of my arrival to the lovely chat just before I left, and every conversation in between, Amy could not have been more friendly, warm and welcoming.
Add to that an immaculate toilet & shower block with proper showers (no fumbling for the button with shampoo running in your eyes here!), HUGE semi-private pitches and a fabulous view - what more could you want?
Friendly pub within a 10 minute stroll? Mini supermarket next door to the pub? Walks from the site? Yep, it’s got all that!
On top of which it’s only a very short drive to some incredible beaches, the South West coast path and loads of other attractions.
If Carlsberg did camp sites….
(Showing my age there!)
Disliked Having to leave!

From the manager: Wow Claire, what a review! You sure can come again. It was a pleasure meeting you last week and sharing common thoughts and views on life - such refreshing conversations! You've said it all - I'm really pleased you enjoyed the simplicity of what we have to offer and what is around us to enjoy! The magic is in being able to receive all the simplicities and the slower pace. I truly wish you all the best over the coming year as you make your way through your personal transitions and we would love to see you back again when you are ready!
All the best until then,
Amy, Roger and family
