What customers say
Peaceful, neat site with roomy, flat pitches, many with hedges for privacy. Staff are a gem, kids' play areas are brilliant, and it's a short woodland wander to a dog-friendly beach. Showers and washing-up areas are spotless. Facilities are a bit old-school but work well. Lovely landscaping, super quiet.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Pitches were very specious, park was gorgeous and well kept, bathroom was modern and clean, bus stop was a 10 minute walk through the top field to the Lizard and Kennack Beach was a 10 minute walk from the park entrance - staff were helpful and friendly, even leaving the children a chocolate Easter egg early Sunday morning… lovely touch!! Thank you for a great stay, we will definitely be back.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked We had a fantastic stay at Silver Sands campsite. The pitches were massive, giving everyone plenty of space, and the whole site was spotless with excellent facilities throughout.
There’s also a lovely walk down to the beach, which made the location even more special. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the little extra touches really made a difference our kids were especially grateful for the Easter eggs left for them, which was such a thoughtful gesture.
We wouldn’t hesitate to return to Silver Sands and would highly recommend it to families looking for a clean, spacious and friendly campsite.

Powered grass caravan site
Liked We love this site. Been several times before camping in a tent, this time we went with our camper van. Lovely big spacious pitches. The newly refurbished shower block was excellent. The site always looks immaculately cared for and clean. Its a great touring spot for all around the Lizard peninsula. Will be back!
Disliked Nothing to dislike about this site at all.

Another fab visit
Fully-serviced grass and gravel caravan site
Liked This visit was our third this year, we loved it the first time in May, booked for middle of July, then again end of august.
We received the same warm welcome on this visit as we did on our first. The location and peaceful atmosphere is amazing. It is the kind of place that attracts a really nice friendly group of people.
It’s fantastic for the children who come with their families, there’s a play park, sand pit, and area for tots.
Because the site is not a massive busy site, there is only need for one facilities block, it has a laundrette, wash up area with a fridge freezer for guest use. A family bathroom, and then the ladies and gents shower and toilets. Around the back of the facilities is the cassette emptying point. They are not brand new, but are kept very clean, the water pressure is fab in the showers, the toilets flush very efficiently.
We love the location to the dog friendly beach, it’s just about 10 miles s walk downhill through a wooded area to the beach.
There are all the supermarkets available in Helston, which is about a 20 minute Drive, there’s also restaurants, take aways, pubs there. Or just a short walk over the fields takes you to kuggar that has potters bar, a cafe, Thai takeaway I think is Thursday/Friday and Saturday from 5pm.
All in all, we love the site.

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Wir waren eine Woche mit Wohnwagen dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Betreiber des Campingplatzes ist sehr freundlich und zugewandt, anders als auf vielen Plätzen in England war der Platz durch viele Bäume und Sträucher schön gestaltet
Disliked Die Sanitärgebäude sind etwas veraltet aber sauber und erfüllen ihren Zweck
