What customers say
Amazing sea views & coastal path access. Owners are super friendly & helpful. Clean loos & good showers, plus a popular food van. Eco-friendly too. Can get a bit stretched during busy times though.

Liked A fantastic site.
Told to help ourselves to where ever we wanted to pitch on arrival so we picked the bottom field with beautiful views onto the coastline .
Walked to local village and had a beer before walking back alone the coast path and having a bbq beside our van.
Toilets where very clean compost toilets .
Along with showers and washing up area.
Really enjoyed the stay and very friendly owner made us feel at home

Perfect spot
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Beautiful location over looking the sea, easy access to the coast path and a cafe van on site. Hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming giving us an excellent spot to pitch up. They even helped jump start our car after the battery died. Full phone signal on site.

Anonymous Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked We love it here! This was our second time staying here as we loved it so much last year. The views are spectacular from the campsite, I could have spent all day sat at the campsite watch the shops come and go. It's spacious and even when busy there is plenty of space to pitch and run around. We visited as a family and it was perfect for them. The location is ideal; the coast path runs right past the campsite, we walked to Cadgwith via the devil's frying pan, we would have done more but were limited by our children's little legs. Composting toilets aren't for everyone but we like everything to be as eco friendly as possible. The showers were good for outdoor ones. The hot water for washing up was a bit hit and miss but the hosts Will and Cathy were always around if we needed anything and would have fixed it if we'd brought it up. The food van was also a godsend for a decent coffee in the morning! 😆
Disliked Not much to dislike, great views, good amenities and friendly hosts, we love the whole ethos of the eco friendly side of things. Just be warned it is back to basics with compost toilets and gas powered showers.
