What customers say
This peaceful campsite offers a great location, particularly for visiting the Eden Project. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful owner, Mark, and the clean, tidy facilities, though some suggest the washrooms could benefit from updating. Many appreciate the tranquil atmosphere and countryside setting, with good walking and cycling opportunities nearby. Transport to the Eden Project is often offered, and communal campfires are a popular feature.

Anonymous Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Great site, very peaceful and a lovely location for exploring/biking/walking as very close to the Eden project and on the Clay Trails.
Good sized very clean showers (with loo in the same cubicle) and plenty of hot water. Covered area for washing up, and an orderly bin and recycling area - everything that can be recycled is.
Host Mark is friendly and amenable - on hand if you need him for advice on local walks etc. Despite the name, their is no Inn on site, but there is a very good pub - The Kings Arms at Luxulyan - which is a 2 mile walk away through the clay trail and down a windy quietish road. Definitely stay for a really good dinner, the excellent beer, and the bonhomie of the landlord, and it is possible to get a taxi back, as we discovered to our delight!

Anonymous Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Location.
Disliked Like the owner the campsite comes across as tired. They are very friendly and that's great but you feel like they could do with some young energy to help with the upkeep. Electricity felt expensive.

Helpful, friendly staff, lovely peaceful site, well maintained.
Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked What a great site for visitors to the Eden Project. Although it is in walking distance, the owner, Mark, insisted on driving us there & collecting us later in the day. Nothing seemed too much bother. Extension to the toilet / shower block is under construction for the 2026 season. Good size pitches with all necessary services nearby. Unfortunately the wifi wasn't working, but that was a minor inconvenience as the mobile signal was good. Some lovely walks around the lakes & into the nearby village. Electricity is currently charged at £5 per night.
The showers / toilets etc are clean & well maintained.

A lovely, good value campsite with friendly, helpful staff
Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Really good size plot, alongside our friends in their camper van, a short distance from decent showers/toilets/washing-up facilities.
Beautiful, rural surroundings, within walking distance of a good pub (Kings Arms, Luxulyan) and the Eden Project.
Great owner and site manager (Mark & Catherine), who went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, even drying our clothes after a wet walk back from the Eden Project.
Disliked Electricity costs could be clearer.
