What customers say
Pitches are generally reported as large, level, clean and well-maintained, with many guests appreciating the quiet atmosphere and beautiful countryside views. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. However, a significant number of reviews highlight issues with the cleanliness and maintenance of toilet and shower blocks, with some stating facilities are dated or in poor repair. Several guests also mentioned that advertised amenities such as the shop and coffee shop were closed or run down.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews







Overpriced, badly managed, dirty site. Shame as it has potential.
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Location is good, taxi into St Ives is between £8.50 and £12.50 depending on who you get.
Disliked Showers and toilets were very dated and in desperate need of being replaced. There were some very stinky rooms on the way to the showers too.
Ladies shower and toilet area also had a man in the bathroom brushing his teeth! I suspect because they are poorly signed and men are allowed to use the first 3 cubical but aren’t supposed to go beyond that. All very bizarre really!
Lots of noise on the site and nobody stopping it, despite the rules saying no loud music.
Kids running ferral everywhere - again nobody doing anything about it
Drinking water access tap being used by a group opposite who left it filthy and used it to wash up with. Again nobody doing anything to stop it.
Staff pretty much absent from the site hence it being a free for all.
The cafe room is actually a teeny run down garden shed that was never open.

Very basic and run down charging a top price
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Pitch was a good size and nice and level
Disliked No hot water for washing dishes. Saw 1 member of staff for 2 mins when checked in, didn't see any staff over the 3 days. Very run down looked like a ghost town. Minimum stay of 3 nights charging what you would expect to pay for somewhere offering full amenities. Prices should be adjusted to reflect the basic site and standards

Ekelhaft (sanitärgebäude)
Electric grass pitch
Liked Die Stellplätze sind super und groß…. Der Platz ist ruhig gelegen, was einem Abstand vom Alltag bringt! Einfach toll!
Disliked Die duschen und Toiletten bei den Männern waren Sau dreckig! Einfach wiederlich!!! In den 5 Nächten die wir dort waren wurde nicht einmal der ,, Waschraum“ (Toiletten und duschen gesäubert)!!!! Die öffentlichen toiletten am Strand von st Ives (ohne Bezahlung) waren sauberer! Die Frau sitzt den ganzen Tag in ihrem Wohnwagen mit der Zigarette im Mund, doch sollte sie sich lieber mal um die Sauberkeit kümmern!!!! Und für 46£ die Nacht einfach viel zu teuer!!!!
