What customers say
This is a quiet, friendly campsite with a very accommodating and helpful owner. It's ideally located for visiting the Eden Project, with many guests appreciating the walking distance or the owner's offered lifts. Facilities are generally clean and adequate, although some reviewers noted the combined toilet/shower cubicles could be improved. The site offers a relaxed atmosphere with good pitches and is recommended for its proximity to local attractions and peaceful setting.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Everything about Innis Inn and how Mark runs it was totally great for us! It is surrounded by amazing nature and lakes, about half an either east or west to amazing beaches and of course right next door to the Eden Project. Also there is a winery just up the road with really great award winning wines.
Mark went above and beyond with offering fire wood, daily mowing the pitches (in his 70s no less!!) and even offered to look after our pups in spite of one of them barking its face off at him the whole time!
There is a really nice personal touch here and you feel welcome, on nice soft grass, with a campfire at night (or you can borrow one for your own pitch) good facilities and local knowledge.
Disliked Nothing at all. Well some comments I read here pissed me off because clearly those people complaining must be diva assholes to write anything negative about this place!

Liked Price okay
Clean shower room and toilets
Quiet location but close to lovely villages and the Eden project
Disliked Can not control the temperature of the water for the showers, and the flow was inconsistent with some cold then luke warm then cold alternating. The sprinkler head was fixed too.
£5 per day extra for electricity, should be included. Hardly used any power for this time of the year (no fan nor heater).
Wifi but the password posted on the board did not work!
Phone signal on my phone very poor.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked Peaceful and spacious site. Mark the owner welcomes you personally. £5 a night for electric.
Disliked Showers in toilet cubical meant sometimes had to wait a while to pee, they are also timed push button showers. Light went off after no movement invarea outside the shower. But at least they are warm.

Electric optional grass and gravel pitch
Liked When we pulled up have had a 3 hour journey to get there we found Marc courteous and very help full.
This was our homey moon and we wanted some one peaceful and quiet this was exactly what we got. The site is split into 3
Motor home in first section and camping in the next Marc. Was on hand daily.
We stayed for 12 nights. Of an evening we would see the rabbits come out etc.
the main thing we were able to unwind and relax.
Off the facilities toilet blocks were clean and. Leaned every day
Showers lovely and hot and large
Shower drainage was great exactly the same for the ladies toilets etc.
the kitchen area was also clean with 3 washing up places.
We ran out of wood Marc stepped in and provided us with kindling and wood.
Marc is very friendly and does like to check on his guests to see they are ok etc.
nothing to much trouble
On one occasion he even looked after some ones dog for the day whilst they went to the Eden project.
We used the site as a base
5 mins in car to local shops lid Tesco
And hour to beaches.
We look forward to our next visit.
Electric Points all located within reach
