Helston, Cornwall, England
Unpowered grass site
Liked Lovely! Spacious, quiet, clean, down to earth site, clean showers - which are included - and a well-stocked shop and comfortable cosy café. The farm family running the site are really friendly and nice. I found the honesty shop (available all hours)very handy, you just pay online. Even in August, there’s tons of space between pitches and the site is silent at night. It’s also dark so a fantastic night sky for star gazing. Great for sunsets too. The shower, toilet and washing up block is kept clean and there is plenty of hot water. The water is natural ground water pumped up on site and it’s superb. There is a freezer and charging hut. On Saturdays, There’s homemade pizzas. The farm has animals such as goats, llamas, peacocks, chickens and geese for children to feed. There’s lots of space for children to play. The location is fabulous: just a short drive to Coverack, Cadgwith (superb restaurant/ tea rooms) Kennack sands, Lizard and Gunwalloe which are all gorgeous, and of course the wonderful coast path. Helston has huge supermarkets and petrol stations. If you want a nearby dog walk, we found Goonhilly Downs good, which is a 5 minute drive. We also liked walking in the woods at Penrose, Porthleven harbour (Porthleven ale - bottled - is not to be missed) and the fish and chips at the Smugglers in Lizard! There’s quite a lot to explore nearby such as animal sanctuaries and Riptide bar which has live music on weekends (just a few minutes away). I found the pricing system much fairer than most sites. I would return to this site for all the above and its excellent value.
