Liked This was our third visit to Mill Lane
We love the location to Porthleven, it's around a 5 minute walk to the harbour, where the shops, bars ,cafes and restaurants are.
The facilities were always clean. I love the little worktop in the ladies shower block where you can style your hair
Disliked It's not really a dislike more annoyance. We went out for the day in our camper, when we got back they had given our pitch to someone else, they did sort it out for us but it shouldn't have happened.

A great little campsite with good facilities with a great pub .
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Mill Lane is a great campsite, this is our third stay. This stay was out of season , it was quiet and peaceful but to be honest when we have stayed in the summer it has been quiet as well.
The pub is great as usual.
The facilities are always spotlessly clean, the water piping hot and the staff a friendly and helpful.

Liked Really great. Hard surface with water and electric pitches are really flat.
It’s a short walk into porthleven and the blue skies pub next door is great.
Disliked The electric tripped of a few times, but I’m not sure whether the motorhome next to us was tripping something

Best showers I have ever had whilst camping
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The best camp site shower I have ever had. Firstly the room was heated which in late December was very welcome. Second - a shower control that treats you like a responsible adult - you can turn it on and up as much as you like. Like being at home.
Electric and water hook up at your pitch.
Disliked The site looks depressingly awful and was by far the most expensive of our trip.
