Excellent location, staff and facilities
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch (XL)
Liked Great location close to the village with 3 pubs, lots of gift shops, butchers, farm shop, cafes etc. Beautiful scenery nearby at Kynance cove and Lizard point. Great for walking the coastal paths. Lovely warm showers and all the facilities needed for motorhoming. Kind and friendly staff on site.

Basic site
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch (XL)
Liked Large pitches, very quiet even from early evening to late morning owners listened when we had an issue, onsite shop, eco conscious values, walking distance to the stunning Kynance cove.
Disliked The facilities were very basic and not always very clean. It would benefit from another toilet & shower block, especially more showers.
We really didn’t like the site initially upon arrival & almost left, did grow on us a bit. Probably won’t return

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Just a 5 / 10 minute walk to Lizard, and a short walk to Ellie's soul food which sold lovely food in a caravan setting with seating - definitely worth a visit,
Disliked Very large site with many pitches, but unfortunately did not have the resources for that many people. There are two shower blocks, one each end of the site, and the those at the back end were half used for storage (old mattresses, chairs etc stacked inside) leaving just two showers and one sink which always had a queue (toothbrushing, vanity etc but used also for handwashing due to the eco toilets). The 'wash up area' was a 4ft high flat table so you had to stretch to the back of this to turn on the taps and water ran off the sides straight onto your feet, sleeves etc - a sink would be really helpful here. I saw one camper resort to doing the washing up in one of the showers instead!
The pictures used in the advertising are of Lizard and not the campsite, where you only have a view of either the road, or high hedges, which is a little misleading.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)
Liked Lovely site nice views clean toilets open all the time with a shower. Staff members were lovely with the addition of a little shop on site. Walking distance to restaurants and beachs.
Disliked Nothing about the site but is say taking our pushbikes wasnt worth the effort due to the trails and close distance to restaurants
