What customers say
This family-run campsite is consistently praised for its immaculate cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff, and excellent facilities. Guests highlight the well-maintained grounds, spacious pitches, and the peaceful atmosphere. The playground is a hit with children, and the location is considered ideal for exploring Cornwall. While most visitors found nothing to dislike, a few minor points were raised, such as shower water temperature fluctuations and the location of some pitches relative to facilities. The owners are actively considering suggestions for improvement.

Liked Lovely clean site with very friendly and welcoming hosts. My children loved playing in the playground and especially enjoyed waking up to the bunny rabbits outside the tent. The toilet blocks were always very clean and really appreciated the separate family bathrooms to make it easier with young children. Also felt very safe with security cameras at the entrance. Would highly recommend for exploring Cornwall.
Disliked Minor improvement would maybe consider an honesty fridge for staples like milk given the shop is only open for for a few hours in the morning and evening, but appreciate that may not be possible.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review and for awarding us 10 / 10. It was a pleasure to welcome you and your family to Porthtowan Tourist Park.
We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the children loved the playground and spotting the bunny rabbits each morning. It's also wonderful to know that you appreciated our clean facilities, family bathrooms, and the added sense of security around the park.
Thank you as well for your helpful suggestion regarding an honesty fridge. It's certainly an idea we hadn't considered before, but we'll definitely give it some thought and look into how it could possibly work for both our guests and the park.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back again soon.

Electric grass pitch
Liked What a super site! Every member of staff from the moment we arrived was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. The site was immaculate, including the toilets and showers. All pitches lovely and flat and only about 80 in total so it feels small and friendly. Short drive to access lots of different beaches. We walked the coastal path walk to Porthtowan, a leisurely stroll admiring the stunning views which took about 50mins (2 miles). There is a shorter walk by road which is about a mile. Was fairly quiet the week we were there, so very peaceful. The free WiFi was perfect too. Thank you again to all the staff, you clearly take a huge pride in your site and it shows.
