Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Absolutely loved this site. I’m not really a camper myself but went with my kids and my brother and his family. The owner was super friendly. Nice open space, fire out area with benches, showers and toilets and washing up area, even a fridge and a honesty shop. Would definitely stay here again.

Karren S.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Everything about this campsite was lovely. The owner was really kind and welcoming - also clear and upfront with everything. The campsite itself was clean and level - and included a lovely little shop that had a surprising amount of goods - all priced exceedingly well too. All facilities were clean, with sinks, toilets and showers maintained well. Plenty of water points.
Plenty of space per pitch, with lots of room for children and families to play in the middle. A seperate area if you wanted a large area for a camp fire, but fire pits available (with slabs to put them on) should you wish to have a smaller fire by your tent/caravan (with logs, kindling, fire starters etc available from the shop if you needed). Lovely little dog walking area with gorgous views. Respectful rules (quieten down after 9pm and quiet after 10pm). If you needed anything or needed help with anything, the owner did his best to help. Will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

Local attractions

So, to those coastlines… Cornwall’s north and south coasts are both full of gorgeous places to visit, so it’s worth making time for both. On the northern side, start with the beaches at Porthtowan (15 minutes) or Portreath (20 minutes), then head to the stunning sands of Gwithian (25 minutes). The excellent town of St Ives (half an hour) should be on the schedule too, for its mix of coast views and top-notch art galleries. Heading south instead, stop off at Pendennis Castle (20 minutes) and Trebah Garden (20 minutes) en route to the sands at Maenporth beach (15 minutes). Venture a little further and you’ll hit the spectacular Lizard Peninsula with a drive of about 40 minutes or so. For more of Cornwall’s top days out, look at Newquay Zoo (25 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes), Eden Project (45 minutes) and Land’s End (50 minutes).
