A soulful campsite!
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Natural and simple site. Loved it. Facilities basic but clean. Felt particularly friendly and welcoming. The food caravan cafe a definitepositive addition. Lovely not to be greeted with a degree of trust and not a rule book. Fabulous natural position with outlook and Cadgwith within walking distance.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked We stayed on the site for two nights and honestly had the most wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, Will, Cathy, and their lovely children, Elowen and Mawgan, made us feel so genuinely welcome.
The facilities were spot on, and the food truck was a real highlight, delicious meals that hit the spot after a day of exploring. The location couldn’t be better either. Just a short walk to the coast path, around 20 minutes to Cadgwith, and a scenic hour or so to the Lizard. Perfect for soaking in the beauty of the area.
All in all, it was fantastic value for money, and the warmth of the hosts really made it special. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very friendly camp site. The owners were there to meet and great and go through all the facilities.
Stunning views overlooking the sea.
Coastal path a few minutes walk away, great for Lizard point.
Catering van on site which serves wonderful food from breakfast to dinner, very reasonable prices too.
Offer great services too like laundry and pet sitting.
Highly recommend and will be visiting again.
Disliked Nothing.

Perfect site for walking SW coastal path with well spaced pitches!
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Beautiful sea views, very welcoming site, showers have plenty of hot water although are a little breezy, but we were unfortunate to have high winds and rain when we stayed! Lovely to have the cows roaming around too, very cute. Very close to the coastal path, which is great for those who enjoy walking.

The perfect place with the best hosts (& mini cows!)
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Friendly and warm, our welcome couldn’t have been any better. I loved the personal message before we arrived checking that we were okay en route. The campsite was clean with incredible views, we loved the tiny calves which wandered freely around the tents. The showers were open yet perfectly warm, the toilets were clean and well looked after. The owners checked in on us and we shared stories which was lovely. Our children are the same age (1&4). When I messaged about the possibility of a fire pit, it was delivered within moments with a friendly smile. I couldn’t recommend this campsite any more highly than I am doing right now. we will definitely be back next summer for a longer stay so we can enjoy exploring the Lizard further and all its beautiful surroundings.

Perfect campsite, stunning views and lovely hosts!
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked This campsite is nothing short of perfect! Incredible views no matter where on the fields you are, and the most lovely hosts. You can tell they're not just nice because you're staying there, they're genuinely lovely people! The site itself is beautifully maintained, with clean composting loos and gorgeous hot showers. There are the friendliest cows roaming on the fields, including babies that have been hand reared and will literally cuddle you...cutest thing ever! We ended up staying an extra night because we loved it so much. Will definitely be returning before too long and staying for longer! The coastal walks are beyond stunning, and we took a lovely walk down to Cadgwith across the coastal path. The village is a lovely little fishing village and the walk to it is easy. Honestly I can't recommend this campsite enough.
Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike!

Very nice little gem
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked It is in a lovely quiet setting with a great view of the sea. The host is very friendly and let's you choose where you would like to pitch. The site has hot showers, a wash up area and compost toilets which are very clean and tidy. There is also a chemical toilet waste.

Natural site in a wonderful location, with stunning views
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Stunning location with unspoilt views of the bay, access to the coastal path and only a short walk (15 mins) to the village of Cadgwith.
The facilities were all we needed, and the showers were hot! Also enjoyed seeing the friendly calves roaming the field. The food truck was a bonus too, when we didn’t want to walk to pub or cook! It was 6k - a quite challenging coastal path walk to Lizard Point.
