Liked: Very calm, perfect and clean facilities. We enjoyed every minute. Walking to Heligans Lost Garden was also very pleasant.
Disliked: Pitches were assigned but taken by somebody else, that caused continous discussions, but at the end everybody was happy.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked: What a lovely camp site! We made a late booking, as we arrived but this wasn’t a problem. Clear instructions at the gate allowed us to pitch-up easily. Both water and electric points are easily accessible, although we didn’t use the electric. Picnic benches are dotted around between pitches which is a great addition. The grass areas are well maintained with nicely planted areas. Looks very pretty. The facilities block is really nice. Clean, well maintained with plenty of hot water for your shower and washing up. There is an additional laundry area which is really helpful if staying longer. Equipped with an iron and board. Dog friendly site and has a well sign posted dog walk and poo bin provided. We explored the footpaths down to the coast, it’s hilly but this is Cornwall. The fishing port of Mevagissey is just over a mile walk away. Where you can take boat trips, walk around the harbour, enjoy the local pubs and restaurants. My advice would be not to drive there especially in your camper! Richard the owner is on site regularly to answer questions / take payment. Most enjoyable stay thank you
