The site is clean and tidy with great facilities including showers, toilets, cafe and washing up facilities, I really liked the fact that there is washing up liquid and cleaning cloths to be used, firepits are allowed which is great. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there is a lovely nature walk and the possibility of participating in other activities for a price.

Although there is a fire pit on site there was no firewood to purchase which would of been nice. I found the showers temperamental, some not turning on and some running more cold then hot but as it's camping it was nice just to have the opportunity to shower. It would have been nice to have been able to sign up for activities in reception but to do this we would of had to have signed up online which is not necessarily possible whilst you are camping.

Quiet, only a couple of other campers there.
Walks around the old quarries and the views as it's on top of a hill.
Excellent washing up area with washing-up liquid and sponges.
Lots of hot water in the showers and no time limit.
On site cafe.
I even saw and heard a cookoo flying across the camping field one morning.

A short bank or hedge to screen the camping area from the access road would make it a little more private. There is currently just a fence.

Very friendly and informative staff. Beautiful weather!

A small campsite and secluded we loved it.

It was amazing. Really nice and quite place. Staff is always smiling and ready to help. Plenty of hot water. My son loved the adventure trail behind the camping. They use environment friendly cleaning products and soaps in the bathroom, my favourite brand 🤩 We can’t wait to go back 😊

Absolutely amazing stay! Beautiful well attended nature reserve. Very relaxed and friendly with amazing views. Pitches of a good size too. Thank you Via Faretta!
The Via Faretta staff were also caring of the campers facilities, ensuring they are dedicated to the campers only.
We wish we had time to do some activities- next time! :)

Nothing. Absolutely loved it and will be coming again!

The location was lovely, peaceful and quiet and within easy reach of a variety of beaches and coves and other visitor attractions and highlights. The staff were friendly and the onsite Cornish Barista cafe served wonderful cakes, fabulous breakfasts (not short on portions) and a variety of hot drinks. The extra special luxury hot chocolate with the giant marshmallow was a hit with my son! The associated activities with BF Adventure at the quarries were well organised and supervised and great fun. This was a good site with only basic facilities, but clean and well maintained.

Nothing to dislike. This is their first season for camping and welcomed any feedback, which was only to suggest a few minor useful bits and pieces such as provision of a dedicated ice-block freezer.

This was a fantastic campsite. We really enjoy camping that feels more basic and down-to-earth, so it might not be for everyone. It has everything you need - a shower block with adequate facilities and washing up area. The pitches are either located around a central grassy area, where the kids played with the other children. Firepits are allowed - we were lucky enough to meet other lovely people to join around the fire in the evenings. It's quiet and fairly remote from any busy roads, but an easy drive to the nearest supermarket. There are activities available onsite (we loved the via Ferrata and zip-wire), and lots of exploring on footpaths around the campsite, on the coast path and in nearby Falmouth. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the café is superb (almost too good - as the kids were always asking for cooked breakfasts and I kept getting tempted by the great coffees and cakes!)

The ground is quite stony, but if you're prepared for that (bring a hefty mallet and put pegs in at a shallow angle), it's absolutely fine.
Activities on site were all sold out when we arrived. We were told that next year (2022), a number of places on the activities (kayaking, SUPing, via Ferrata, archery etc) will be reserved for campers.
I would also have been prepared to pay more for the camping, if the activities could have been included in the price.
It would have been great to have a fridge for campers to use.
There are pitches in an open area and a few that are tucked away. It would have been nice to have had the choice of type of pitch when booking (although in the end, the open pitch that we got was far more sociable, and the kids loved it).
