What a well run little gem of a site, facilities very clean
Electric grass pitch
Liked What is there not to like,brilliant peaceful, well run, immaculately clean facilities and the location is great. We booked up for 5 weeks next year so we have plenty of time to explore as we were only there for a week and was disappointed to leave this brilliant little gem of a site. Pitch size was very good and a flat surface for the awning.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Wunderschöner, sehr gepflegter, ruhiger Campingplatz mit großen Stellplätzen. Der Campingplatz ist besonders charmant durch die Liebe und Hingabe die die Inhaber-Familie in den Platz steckt. Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit dort 😊

Can't fault this place! Excellent site with the loveliest staff!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything! This is by far the best campsite we've stayed at, so much so, we're staying on an extra few nights! Clean toilets & showers with no cobwebs or spiders! Large level plots, big enough for our camper, awning & dog to mooch about, lovely games room and friendly staff who make great coffee!
The children's play area looks fab and it's only a 1 mile walk down to the beach so not far at all. We will be back!!

Electric grass pitch
Liked The campsite was really clean and well kept. The staff were all really helpful and the morning coffees were lovely. We'll definitely stay there next time we head to Cornwall. It's a short walk or a shorter drive to Porthtowan beach and really close to lots of other sights.
