Non-electric grass pitch
Liked I have to say what a very impressive site. The facilities were immacutlate as they have just had a refubishment and it was lovely to have a hot shower. I liked we could hire a fire pit which was nice for the evening. Dog friendly site and a lovely walk to the beach which we enjoyed. Nice little shop for odds and ends and would we recommend and stay again. Most definitely. The owners of this site are very accomodating and nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our stay at Cambrose. See you again in July!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We had a great stay and can’t wait to come back with the kids. Football area our boys will love. The pool was so lovely, staff were friendly and welcoming. Shop was well stocked and showers etc well kept and clean. Grounds were well kept and the site is located between two of the most beautiful beach spots in Cornwall (Portreath & Porthtowan). The bike track we couldn’t believe connects all around the area from just up from the entrance to the site, so we could explore, this will be great for the kids when we come back. Can’t believe how perfectly placed this site is to be able to explore such beautiful parts of Cornwall on foot or bike.
