What customers say
This is a highly recommended, peaceful, and well-maintained campsite offering private pitches and lovely views. Guests praise the excellent, clean facilities, including powerful hot showers and useful charging points. The location is considered great, with easy access to the beach and village, though the walk back is steep. Owners are described as fantastic and helpful. Minor issues noted include a tricky entrance, and a desire for a freezer.

Wouldn’t stay there again.
Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked The toilets and showers were good, and the water was hot. Good location as a base. There are small communal areas with fire pits.
Disliked The site and pitches are very small with gorse/spikes bushes around. I got two enormous spikes through my crocs. I wouldn’t have wanted to set up a tent on the van pitches. Pricey for what it is compared to other areas although that is probably the area.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch (XL)
Liked One of my favourite camp sites i’ve been to! I loved the secluded camp sites in the woods. Good facilities - I had a nice hot shower and toilet block was clean. Great location being a 15 minute walk to Mawgan Porth beach
Disliked Could do with better waste disposal eg recycling bins as i couldn’t find any bins other than the small ones in the toilets. Washing up area could do with having a roof over it - only small things

From the manager: Thank you for your review it's much appreciated!
There are bins and recycling area at the entrance of the field, sorry if you didn't get the info on the booking text. We are aiming to get better every season but still a little business with little means 🙂
Thanks for staying with us,hope to have you back again!

Liked Great location. Very reasonably priced. Nice private pitch.
Disliked First night, I found someone had been smoking around my tent. Cigarette buts in my chair and on the ground around the tent. A little disconcerting as a solo traveller.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small)
Liked Wonderfull site with a good variety of pitches each more or less secluded. The showers and toilets were clean and maintained daily. There are two central fire pits, where you can BBQ. There is a charging point with 12 slots in the toilet block. There are also three washing up sinks as well. There view of the valley is spectacular, with a short walk down a steep hill to the local beach village.
Disliked The entrance can be tricky turning left into the site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)
Liked Absolutely fantastic 🤩 I adored this site! Right from seeing the surfboard sign to driving on and feeling at home immediately on a little camping retreat, the site was small safe and secluded, very close to things but also peaceful. The owners had been fantastic in accommodation to a request for a shady pitch for my puppy and I was pleasantly surprised with the privacy, the shower blocks had the best showers, warm hot, powerful and felt novel and outdoorsy and safe, cleaning staff were always friendly in the morning, they had lovely glowy cool lights, it was pretty dog friendly, it was great to have the facility to charge stuff up and such a bargain price! I highly recommend and would definitely return.
Disliked Teeny bit tricky to find on the satnav but the owner was on hand on phone to direct
