#6 electric hardstanding and grass pitch (large)

Liked Very central site and close to beaches and amenities. Local bus route and near to supermarkets. Very clean site, and quiet, perfect for that peaceful get away.
When pitched facing the right way view o stunning sunsets which made evenings lovely. Owners polite and very happy to help with any issues. Simple site to locate and clear indications of pitch boundaries. Good size pitches and ample room for parking and setting up space to relax.

Disliked The shower/ toilets are literally portapotties. Showers have no lights in them so can only be used during day light. Which when had a day out and come back late could be a nuisance when in need of a shower.
Not the easiest site to maneuver a large caravan around as seems a bit narrower in places. No WiFi, but never a deal breaker for us as we have hot-spot and mobile data which there was a good signal for.

#4 electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked We only booked for one night only

Disliked No reception or welcoming had to telephone owner.
Hardstanding very narrow, close proximity to neighbouring motorhome. Motorhome service point unavailable due to car being parked on it. Overall feeling was cramped and felt like a contractors site.
Washing up facility was filthy, which prevented us wanting to use the showers or toilet.

#6 electric hardstanding and grass pitch (large)

Liked A good facility with a good amount of hard standing. Very friendly pitch up and able to speak with the owners who explained everything even though it was raining.

Disliked Showers weren't fantastic and now there were the toilets. Pot cleaning facilities were okay but to be desired.

Local attractions

Delve into the local geology at Cornwall Gold and Tolgus Mill, a fab heritage centre five minutes' drive from base. From there, you might like to set off to Porthtowan beach (10 minutes), a dog-friendly seaside spot with spectacular scenery, or you could learn more about flora and fauna from around the world at Feadon Wildlife Education Centre (10 minutes). Grownup activities in the local area include the greens at Tehidy Golf Course (10 minutes) and Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm (10 minutes), where you can sample some of the West Country's top apple-based tipples. There are also wineries to explore around the Camel Trail (35 minutes), an off-road cycle route that takes in a gorgeous stretch of Cornish countryside. Got kids to keep entertained? You might appreciate being so close to Paradise Park and JungleBarn Cornwall (15 minutes), a local activity centre that's pretty sure to keep them busy. The steam trains at Lappa Valley (25 minutes) and the cute animals at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (30 minutes) are also pretty safe bets.
