Bay View Camping

Positiv The location is fantastic, really great proximity to Falmouth, multiple gardens and beaches, as well as being right on the south west coast path! The view is incredible and the site is nice and quiet, there aren’t many pitches and they are very spacious so no danger of feeling overcrowded. Alice was super helpful throughout our stay and she kept the place very clean and tidy. I will definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone wanting to camp in Cornwall.

Negativ My only feedback here would be the size of the toilets/showers. The toilets were very very small and hard to manoeuvre in. The showers are good but there is very little private space to change/wash. Only one of the sinks has a mirror too, it would be useful if they all did. However, for a small and simple site the facilities are really good and are kept immaculate.
Also, I hadn’t seen this mentioned in many other reviews, but the road right up to the actual site is very bumpy/tricky, and cars that are very low to the ground may struggle.

Positiv Stunning views from the tent in the morning. Very close to the coast path. Clean facilities with hot water.

Negativ Some queues for facilities at peak times and the campsite wasn’t that busy.

Positiv Great view of the bay. Friendly owner. Quiet campsite. Two portacabins with showers & flushing toilets, all clean.

For walkers, there is a gate to access the campsite directly from the SW Coast Path, very convenient. You need a code for this which the owner texted to us the day before arrival. Luckily I'd checked my phone in advance as there was no phone signal (for me at least) by the gate.

Negativ The downside to the view is that the site is very exposed to the weather, especially wind. It's also hard to drive pegs in more than about 3 inches before hitting stones because the topsoil is so thin. Didn't affect our little backpacking tent too badly but would not be a great combination in windy weather. Make sure you peg out all your guy lines if it's going to be stormy.

Although the campsite was quiet overall, we had quite intrusive engine noise from some of the vessels that anchor while waiting for their slot in Falmouth harbour. Probably not helped by the wind direction being from the south but it wasn't the idyllic peace we'd had elsewhere on the coastal path.

It's rather overpriced considering the very basic nature of the campsite. The washing up facilities were just one sink with only cold water on the edge of the field, draining onto the ground. No covered seating area, no phone charging facilities, no communal fridge for food; all of which we've had on some cheaper campsites on the Lizard.

The showers were both clean and hot, but better use them in daylight. At night the light was on a motion sensor that lasts 30 seconds. Then you have to get out of the shower, wave your arms around, back in to wash some more and repeat!

Positiv Very nice and well kept campsite with good basic amenities. But the view and proximity to the coast path is the biggest positive.

Positiv Lots of space, toilet and shower facilities were super clean as they cleaned them everyday. Hot water available for the showers. Drinking water available. And the most stunning ocean view. Right next to Falmouth.

Positiv Amazing sea views! Spacious site. Had toilet and shower facilities. Amenable host.

Negativ From the entrance going up to the field is incredibly bumpy for my car as I have a small very old fiesta.
