What customers say
This campsite boasts an excellent location, just a short, flat walk from Porthleven harbour, shops, and restaurants. Reviewers frequently praise the friendly staff and the clean, well-maintained facilities, particularly the hot showers. While some describe the facilities as dated, many find them adequate. The on-site pub is a popular feature. Some guests noted road noise from pitches near the main road and occasional issues with pitch levelling.

Awful experience, worst campsite in Cornwall.
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Not alot
Disliked You could not contact anyone at any time, we were pitched on the only pitch that was severely uneven, with 6 other pitches around us that were even. We were pitched right next to a main road with a very fast and consistent bus route. We were booked to stay 2 nights but only stayed for 1 because it was too late to find anywhere else.

Totally recommend
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Distance to town, staff, hot showers, pub on site and lovely staff. As a solo female, the pitch they gave me was next to showers and entrance so I didn’t have to walk through field.
Disliked Really loud live band until midnight
Recommend to friends Visit again
Location with easy access to wonderful coast line and things to do.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Location , location , location! Easy access to Porth Leven, 5 mins walk to the harbour and all the lovely restaurants, shops and walks. The pitches were well spaced and the loo and shower block really clean with plenty of hot water. Staff were really helpful and we were glad we had read previous reviews advising us to go into the pub to find out our pitch number. We will definitely return to the site.
Disliked Our pitch was overlooked by residential properties , next time will request one on opp side.
