#4 electric hardstanding and grass pitch
Liked: Everything. Facilties are clean, practical and sufficient for everything you can require - there is even a spare tent pump in case you need it! The pitches are spacious, and being individually segregated gives an extra element of privacy. The site sells firewood at a reasonable price, for a fire pit if you have one, or want to use the ones available on site. The site is small and quiet which is perfect for couples or lone travellers. It is well located for getting around and seeing the most of Cornwall. Shops within easy proximity for picking up anything you need.

#2 electric grass pitch (XXL)
Liked: Not alot
Disliked: On arrival at the site, we were greeted by a construction/building site. This was also to be our view for the stay. We also backed onto a very busy road. What was originally booked for a 2-night stay, lasted less than 12 hours. We emailed the owners but had no reply. The building works should have been disclosed at booking, to make an informed decision. We also felt that other pitches were being used as permanent bases rather than for holiday use.

#3 electric grass pitch (XL)
Liked: Campsite was clean and local beaches and tourist attractions were close by.
Disliked: BEWARE the road is very close. We could feel the vibration of vehicles passing by all the time. Does not reduce at night. The noise made it difficult to sleep. The shower and toilet facilities are clean but very basic. There is not much room to dry and change in the shower. The toilets do not have any soap to wash your hands or provide anything to dry them. They could do with some hooks to store your wash stuff and possibly mirror or shelf. The pitch had some very large over hanging trees that could be problematic for larger tents/campervans.

#1A electric grass pitch
Liked: The pitches are a decent size and the owners were helpful and pleasant. Lights at night lit up the main facilities area.
Disliked: We wouldnt stay again. Showers were cold, and I had to hold the button one morning, so I couldn't wash properly. 2 porta loo toilets, 1 didn't have soap for the 4 days we were there and the other one was on its last legs and I assume another fellow camper added some water to have enough soap to wash their hands - makes me question if they were cleaned. The road is very noisy at night. Expensive for what it is, I've stayed in much nicer campsites with far better facilities for less.

#2 electric grass pitch (XXL)
Liked: The size and the amount of privacy available in the sites are some of the best I've seen in the UK. Every site is slightly different which gives them different characteristics for different types of campers. Everything was very clean and well cared for. Although the showers aren't fancy, they worked well and were very clean. The kitchen sink was very useful and was always spotless. It's a small, family run business and it's clearly a well taken care of piece of land. It's only a few minutes off the A30 which makes exploring Cornwall a breeze and it's only 10 minutes out of the nearest beach town, Portreath.
Disliked: The only thing that really made our stay a little annoying was traffic noise from the small road nearby. Our site, #2, was right next to the road which took a few nights to get used to when sleeping. I think the further in sites would be less noisy. The road noise is not something that the owners have any real control over, so no fault to them. The freezer was also not working properly. I put my ice blocks in to refresh them on day one and they never fully froze.
