What customers say

This campsite boasts an excellent location, just a short, flat walk from Porthleven harbour, shops, and restaurants. Visitors praise the friendly staff, clean facilities, and good-sized pitches, with many noting the convenience of the on-site pub. While the facilities are generally considered functional and clean, some reviews mention they are dated and could benefit from an upgrade, with occasional issues reported regarding cleanliness and availability when busy. Road noise is occasionally noted in certain areas of the site.

Margaret H.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The site is perfectly situated in Porthleven. The pitches are a good size and spaced well. There is water and electric for each caravan/motor home pitch. Easy access to the village where there are all amenities including public transport.

Disliked Lack of attention to toilet/shower facilities. On our last visit , one of the three ladies loos was out of order and one had the floor covered in water, presumably a leak. As we had visited only two weeks previously they were the same problems and hadn't been fixed. Also, no hot water at the washing up station.

Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked Not much

Disliked Showers and toilets were across a football car park. The electricity point was tucked behind someone’s tent making it inaccessible so we didn’t have electric overnight. No check in - just saw a man behind the bar in a pub who wasn’t particularly helpful.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Location. Friendliness of the staff. Was great for walking into Porthlevan. We were lucky to have great weather and the town was busy but a great atmosphere everywhere. The pitch was perfect for us and our dog. Spacious.
Showers were lovely and powerful and cleaned regularly.

Disliked Nothing

Ronnie H.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Location was brilliant, only 10 minute walk to Porthleven centre. We had a fully serviced pitch, which worked well. Although the we did use the onside showers and toilets, which were pretty good, clean and no charge for the showers.

Disliked There was a group of very noisy campers on our last night who decided to party until 3am!

Liked The quietness of the site, and how friendly everyone was. The bar being nearby was fabulous.

Local attractions

If you’re keen to get out on the water, Porthleven beach (five minutes’ walk) is a fantastic surfing spot, and you can take coastal cruises (try one at dusk for spectacular sunset views) or sea-fishing trips from Porthleven harbour (10 minutes). Meanwhile, at Marazion (15 minutes’ drive) it’s a short hop across the bay to the crag-top castle and gardens at Mount St Michael. Kids will clamour to get on the coasters and flumes at Flambards Theme Park (10 minutes), or splash in the sea at sheltered Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach. There are plenty of family hikes along the Lizard Heritage Coast (both 20 minutes) and lots of seabirds for the kids to spot along the way. And there’s masses of art and culture in these parts too; the galleries and museums of St Ives (30 minutes) warrant a day’s attention, and there are rare plants and wacky artworks to be seen in Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens (20 minutes).
