Power optional grass site

Liked: View of the coast, nice grassy pitch, clean and spacious

Disliked: Machine asking for 50p to shower - come on guys, it’s a digital economy now - if you need extra money, just add it to the price!!

Power optional grass site

Liked: Everything about this place was fab, the place was imaculate the toilet blocks were great and there was 3 dotted around the site...the pitch sizes were brill nothing bad to say about this site it was our favourite site so far and the views...You need to go and see for yourself...it also had a well stocked shop and a pizza place...a park for the children too and plenty of space to enjoy your stay and very close to a beach with an ample size car park and cafe...Love it all

Disliked: Not a dislike but you do have to pay extra for your hook up when you get there at 10 a night as pitch up doesn't charge you for it only the stay..so be prepared to pay some extra on arrival

Power optional grass site

Liked: The pitches and the general cleanliness of the place.

Disliked: There is no warden ensuring that the 10pm - 8am quiet times are respected so it’s tough with young kids when you’re trying to sleep and it’s still loud at 2am. It also sticks in your teeth a little that you have to pay for the showers.

Local attractions

The clean, safe and award-winning Kennack Sands (with lifeguards on duty during the summer months) is a 10-minute walk from Chy Carne, and has shops and cafés as well as a dog-friendly stretch on one side: hum the theme from Jaws as you spot a basking shark, or clamber up the coastal path for scenic walks in both directions. A short drive away is Kynance Cove, which is one of the most photographed spots in Cornwall: fool folk that you’re in the Med by snapping a pic here or at postcard-perfect Mullion Cove on a sunny day. The Site of Special Scientific Interest Goonhilly Downs is on the doorstep, best known for its Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station, once the biggest in the world and still with satellite dishes that can be seen for miles: the building of a new space science centre on the site was announced in 2011. Let the kids loose too at the Lizard Point Lighthouse, the last manned lighthouse before automation and now with a heritage centre with exhibits, displays and some of the original engines, or take them to drool over the dromedaries at Cornish Camels. As it’s Cornwall, holidaymakers of an amphibious disposition will be in heaven with top sailing, surfing, scuba diving and other watersports along this stretch of Cornish coast, and several surf and scuba schools in the area for both newbies and water experts. Landlubbers will find plenty to do too: horse riding, bird (and shark) spotting, golf, fishing, clay pigeon shooting and more are all within reach. Day trips include squawking at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary at Gweek, flying at the thrill rides of The Flambards Experience and Crealy Great Adventure Park, or browsing around the towns of Falmouth, St Ives, Penzance and Truro for seafood, shopping, more beautiful beaches and a boat ride to the ancient harbour at Marizion’s St Michael’s Mount. Finally, round off your trip with an afternoon or evening at Penzance’s clifftop open-air Minack Theatre – squint a little bit at the amphitheatre and you could almost imagine you’re in Roman Britain…
