What customers say
Mill Lane Campsite is praised for its excellent location, just a short, flat walk into Porthleven. Guests frequently highlight the cleanliness and quality of the hot showers, spacious pitches, and the convenience of the on-site pub. While many highlight the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, some reviews mention the facilities, particularly toilets, as dated and in need of refurbishment. Occasional comments touch on road noise and the shared nature of some facilities with the pub.

Clean site, short walk to harbour.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The pitches were perfect, we went for fully serviced pitch. The toilets and shower block seems adequate. There was a gorgeous short, flat walk to the harbour which was stunning. Not too far from the lizard for some glorious views of the coastline. The pub on site was lovely and friendly too. We would definitely return. Thank you for having us.
Disliked Nothing really.
