Liked: The facilities are excellent! An immaculate and well equipped shower/WC block. The dishwashing area is ideal with decent plugs, taps and everything working well. The owner is lovely - approachable and helpful but not imposing. All you could need as a base for exploring the beautiful location.

Liked: Lovely quiet site, facilities were soooo clean and showers lovely and warm! Owners were lovely and couldn’t be more helpful, fantastic stay and would definitely book again
Disliked: Small gripe the ground was really hard and we bent a lot of pegs putting our tent up, frustrating but wouldn’t stop us from returning!

Liked: A lovely quiet family run campsite, very welcoming, clean facilities. The washing up liquid was a nice personal touch, under cover too which was a bonus if we were unfortunate with the British weather! A nice mid morning check out time of 11am. If you like sites that are not busy with entertainment ect than this is the site for you! Beaches are close by. Dog friendly, although dogs need to be tied up.
Disliked: My only niggle was despite the showers being extremely clean, there was no shelve to put your clothes onto just a small hook, the floor gets very wet so found this a juggle. Also a bin in the washing up area would be helpful. The owners dog is very friendly however we did have an incident of the dog spraying on our tent as their dog was off lead.

From the manager: Thank you for your review- i have now put shelves in the showers for your clothes and put a bin by the washing up area. The neighbours dog has also been stopped and won't be coming back on the site

Liked: Lovely people, Brand new facilities. Very quiet, except for the helicopters, although they finish around 10.30pm. Good base for southern Cornwall exploring!
Disliked: Not quite finished, but will be lovely once they're done. Helicopters, you will see large Helicopters!
