What customers say
This is a very clean, well-maintained campsite with a friendly and helpful family-run team. Guests consistently praise the spotless facilities, particularly the hot showers. The swimming pool is a hit with children, and there are also play areas and a football pitch. The site's peaceful atmosphere and convenient location for exploring local beaches and attractions are highly regarded. Some minor points were raised regarding pool opening times and washing-up tap height, but overall satisfaction is very high.

Great campsite
Anonymous Electric grass pitch
Liked Really well presented camp site, nice pool, great showers and good coffee. The dedicated playing field with a meadow buffer is fantastic. The location is brilliant for getting about in Cornwall and the owners have some great local knowledge to make your stay even better.
Disliked Being picky the taps to wash the pots on the lower field are too short making things tricky and the water wasn’t hot if someone else had just washed up.

We love this place
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Beautiful nature around, very polite and nice owners, nice shop on site. Nice and clean pool, well-kept grounds and a very family atmosphere.
Disliked The pool hours were a bit limited, particularly since we wanted to make the most of our time exploring Cornwall. It would have been wonderful if it opened slightly earlier and closed a little later, though we certainly understand! Overall, everything else was fantastic. Thank you for a great stay!

From the manager: Thank you for your review and feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed our site and appreciated the time we take to ensure our site is well kept and enjoyed all that Cornwall has to offer.
Just to clarify our pool is open daily from 10:00am to 5:00pm with a short closure between 12-2pm. These hours allow us to carry out thorough cleaning, maintenance, safety checks, and to monitor and balance the pool chemicals before guests use the facilities. The safety, cleanliness, and overall quality of our swimming pool are extremely important to us, and these essential tasks help us provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. We do let all our guests know this on arrival so they can plan their days with these times in mind.
We hope to see you and your family again.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Good sized pitch, clean toilets and showers, accessible bathroom (life saver as the step into the showers is quite high for me), friendly owners and - the Ducks! Great location too but you do need to be able to drive. The site was full towards the end of our stay but there were more than enough facilities for everyone. We had a very relaxed stay, it has a very family friendly feel.
Disliked Didn't dislike anything other than having to pay extra for my tarp, lots of places seem to be charging for extras but it's just a bug bare of mine. The only other comments would be that the walk to the beach is more like 40-45 mins rather than the 20 mins stated on the website 😆 and the pool opening times are a bit restrictive for the summer holidays, it's quite a small pool and was busy so not much opportunity for a swim without avoiding crashing into people.
