What customers say
This campsite is highly praised for its excellent location, offering easy walking access to Porthleven's harbour, shops, and restaurants. Visitors consistently highlight the friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and generally clean facilities, particularly the hot showers. While many find the site well-maintained and spacious, some note that the facilities are dated and could benefit from refurbishment, particularly if the site is busy. The on-site pub is a popular bonus.

Liked Toilet and bath were both clean. The place is quiet and friendly.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Mostly it’s by a pub !!! And close to town. Have been staying here for many years. As my family are here. It has improved immensely. Gotta love the “New” toilet block.
Disliked Nothing major. As always the washing up sink. And the rubbish bins.
Would it be hard to have better recycling?!?!?!

will probably give this site a miss next time
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The proximity to the harbour and sea front was the deal breaker. Also the field is mainly level so didn't need our levelling ramps.
Disliked Didn't like how far the toilets/showers are from the pitches also not enough showers for the size of the site. We were pitched up right next to the main road (mill lane) which was noisy and didnt get much sleep. Could be better if they give you the option of different pitches so you could choose an alternative one to those next to the road. We were on pitch 9 but didn't know until after we got our confirmation. The website needs a map with pitch numbers on.
