What customers say
This campsite offers a fantastic location, a short, flat walk to Porthleven harbour and amenities. Visitors frequently praise the spacious, level pitches and the clean, hot showers. The on-site pub is a popular bonus. While many found the site peaceful and well-maintained, some noted dated facilities and occasional noise from the nearby road or pub entertainment. Management are actively addressing issues like the ladies' toilet block.

Great location and worth the stay for that alone
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked You won’t beat the location for walking into a town beach harbour and pubs . Pub on site
Disliked Only one toilet block and is quite a walk. Bloke at check in was so unhelpful

Good location, very poor facilities, expensive for what you get
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Very good location you can walk to Porthleven Harbour which is great with lovely pubs and restaurants
Disliked Very poor facilities at this campsite you’re basically in what was the pub garden. Not enough toilets which were old and dirty. Shower drains were blocked so water filled up in shower tray. No reception, no paperwork, walked into the pub to let them know we’d arrived and they didn’t want to know just said details are on the door. Expensive too we paid over £160 for 4 nights in early July before school holidays and left 2 days early.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Hübsche Anlage, die mit Blumen sehr nett hergerichtet wurde. Die Bar scheint bei Locals auch sehr beliebt zu sein. Nachts gab es ein tierisches Konzert der heimischen Fauna, im Camper bekamen wir davon aber nichts mit und konnten gut schlafen.
Disliked Sanitäranlagen waren trotzt regelmäßigem putzen nur mäßig sauber.
