Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Ladies toilets and showers were spotless and the showers lovely and hot. Pub on site was warm and welcoming. Easy arrival instructions and pitch was good.
Not sure what it would be like in high season as the facilities might be stretched. Flat short walk into town and plenty of cafes and pubs open. A good little supermarket also in town. Wifi good on site.
Disliked Not a lot to dislike. We did not use the dishwashing area so cannot comment.

Excellent site, clean bathrooms. Bus stops nearby. Level pitch
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Mill Lane campsite was a great winter (January) find for us. The weather was appalling with torrential rain (storm Chandra) but we were able to walk into the village to collect supplies from a well stocked shop. Catch a bus to Helston or Penzance, which we did, and there were a couple of pubs open serving food as well as a takeaway. There was also a club house on site which was open and serving the local community also.
The site was clean with spotless toilets and showers, they even had a radiator in the shower room. Not always provided but much appreciated when they do!
Check in was easy with a text telling us our pitch number, we also had WiFi. We will definitely be coming back, thank you.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.
