Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked I loved staying at this campsite, and the mission behind it. Friendly, clean and well organised with amenities such as fridge and freezer which was appreciated.
Disliked Only thing was a funny smell in the fridge/freezer room but that didn't worry me too much.
There is not much phone signal- that was not a problem for me, and I enjoyed a break from the internet, but may be a problem if you need it!

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Everything we needed from the moment we arrived, most importantly Rich made sure we had the right pitch for us, a lovely quiet corner. Alfie (Collie) loved the dog walk where he could catch his ball off lead, he also liked meeting Norman and sharing one of his treats.
Disliked Nothing

Liked Really enjoyed our stay here, loved everything about the campsite! The laid back vibe, the location, the spacious pitches, the communal fridge/freezer, the nice hot showers, the cute little honestly shop! The little thoughtful bits make this campsite a winner. You have a lovely place Richard & we will definitely stay here again when in Cornwall!
Disliked The weather! Haha! Even that didn’t dampen our spirits, us maybe, but not our spirits :) Jokes aside, there was nothing to dislike about this campsite.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Richard is a fantastic host who looks and maintains the campsite to a high standard. The campsite has a very nice vibe to it. Toilets were clean, the area is spacious for our boys to play football and water points and facilities are all easily accessible. Showers were nice and hot and there even spaces in the fridge and freezers. There was a hot water kettle we could use as well including charging area for devices. We found the area to be close to anywhere in Cornwall.
Top campsite!!

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely clean tidy site.
Shower blocks and toilets really well stocked and clean regularly.
Host really helpful and couldn't do enough to help.
Central to lots of areas.
Big pitches
Little shop handy for ice lollies, eggs, fire wood.
Swap "shop" where guests leave stuff and you can help yourself. Love this idea. 😀
Perfect fires under the stars 🌟

best campsite services/money
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked For undemanding campers, it is the best campsite in the area. If you are looking for a night's peace and quiet sleep, then this campsite is the right place. After 10 pm, you can really only hear owls at this campsite 🙂 Excellent for families with small children and tourists who are looking for a night's peace after a busy day. And the owner of the campsite also has a lot of deserving for this, who strictly monitors it, for which I am very grateful to him 👍. In addition, there are excellent, always clean toilets and showers with always hot water. And an excellent area for washing dishes (under the roof, in case of bad weather). And there is also a small shed with a fridge and freezer, for those who camp without electricity. I have been here 3 times and I will come here again. Thank you.
