Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great small site within easy walking distance of Porthleven. Lovely countryside setting with bats, owls, and other wildlife for company.
Facilities are great - lush hot showers and clean toilets.
I really didn’t want to leave the peacefulness and return to real life.

We had a great week
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Close to Porthleven. Owls calling in the night.
Disliked Noisy road running past. Changed my pitch number on the day of arrival and was put on number 11. This was sloping down to the fence and I have a large trailer tent. Asked if I could change but the answer was no despite the field only being half full. They told me to bring it forward a few meters in to the field which worked but it restricted access to the adjacent pitch. Field was max half full all week so can’t understand why they refused to let me move pitch to something flat.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very clean! Shower block was lovely.
We had a quick drink at the bar onsite, the staff were so friendly :)
The site is very flat and the walk into Porthleven was just a stroll and flat too, a bonus for my arthritic knee and FND!
We will be going back to stay for even longer!

Great location, friendly and good for coastal walking
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked We stayed on the bottom field with our dog. Spacious field and relaxed atmosphere with lots of other well behaved dogs. Showers were hot and free and super clean, as we're washing up area. So close to the harbour! We ate at the fabulous Mussel Shoal right on the harbour wall and kayaked in the harbour. Great memories made.
