Electric grass pitch
Liked Peaceful site, clean and tidy shower/toilet cubicles. Great watersports on site and convenient for beaches on north and south coasts of Cornwall.
Disliked Water pressure in the showers could be better- sometimes reduced to a trickle depending on how many other cubicles were in use - on the upside the water was hot!
Recommend to friends Visit again
Well run campsite with great amenities, with friendly helpful staff.

Disliked No personal touches. Didn’t speak to a soul for a week - no one that worked there even checked us in.
If you like rocking up without any personal attention or even a “hello” then this will work.
Also the camp site seems to be very independent from the lake. It was still £13 per day per board to go on lake.

Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked The cleanliness of the facilities.
Disliked The marshals talking next to our pitch early in the morning and throwing stones at each other. We didn't know their was a big event on. Would not recommend pitch 1 as it was also used at a walk through for some dog walkers.

Disliked couldn't cycle around lake but understand why.

Lovely place to stay
Bell tent
Liked The tent and camping facilities was great
Really loved the whole experience
The position of the tent would have been even lovelier if it had been nearer to the lake however and not overlooking a car park with people staring in as I rested on the bed. There were some lovely quiet spots around the lake that would have been perfect.
Facilities for washing were good and clean.
Disliked The fact the cafe was closed and it was a real disappointment and surprise in the high season also the fact that swimming wasn't allowed. Not very clear on the website and it was the only reason I chose to stay originally next to a lake.
