What customers say
This peaceful, friendly campground has spotless facilities, with warm showers and clean washrooms. Guests love the covered eating areas, on-site café, and the donkeys and sheep. While the access roads are narrow and can be tricky for larger vehicles, the site offers well-kept sites, a relaxed vibe, and a beautiful spot to explore the Lizard peninsula. Power outlets, fridge/freezer access, and board games are available.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)
Liked Our favourite campsite in Cornwall so far. Has everything you need and run by a very nice family. The wash facilities are clean and well kept and we also enjoyed our coffee and breakfast from the cafe each morning.

Our only go to spot in Cornwall, always recommend to our friends.
Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)
Liked Great clean and simple facilities, lovely staff and family run site - with Dawn a really great host and runs a great cafe at the weekends for when you just want to grab a breakfast bap or a great cake. Private, sea / rolling hill view ( and a great view of goon hilly), out the way. Park right up to the site and set up camp! We find it to be very quite, we just got back and for half of our week we were the only people on the site which is great if you love a quite retreat!
Really great location, you're basically smack bang in the middle, close to some great beaches and towns, Falmouth/Porthleven and many more. We've been here 4 times or so and will continue to be our go to location.
Oh and it's very well priced! Great for us as we weigh up a Cornish holiday vs going abroad.

Great site, dog friendly and good facilities!
Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)
Liked - beautiful site, very quiet and lovely scenery.
- good facilities, clean and tidy.
- we had the whole site to ourselves on the first night which was lovely and so so quiet.
- the addition of little huts to sit in and play games is a really nice touch.
- donkeys and other farmyard animals on site so great for kids.
- dog friendly which is always a win to us.
- really lovely, friendly and kind greeting. Helpful owners.
- little cafe on site which wasn’t open when we were there but also convenient when it is open.
- great location to get to lizard.
Disliked - only dislike is the lane to get to and from the site. We travelled with a VW camper and there were overgrown bushes which scratched the side of the van. Not the campsites fault but something to bear in mind when considering if you have a van/bigger car.

Amazing site, very well kept, amazing staff and the cafe is perfect
Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked Amazing site, owner was so friendly and helpful. We had the whole site to our selves and we very much enjoyed our night away.
The donkeys were beautiful, the site was well maintained.
The cafe gets busy so if you like to be secluded park further away from the loo’s
No WiFi (I don’t think, I didn’t check) which is perfect the world can leave you alone and you can do what’s important; enjoying nature.
No hookup for people that require it but we don’t as we are set up for off grid.
Dog friendly; bring a spike and long lead for your pet
Your allowed a fire!!! Bring something to do it in as there isn’t anything to have a ground fire on, also bring your own fuel.
100% would recommend
Disliked The lane to the site from Redruth or Helston side will leave a van (transit/transporter size or larger) with some very stylish Cornish Tribal Tattoos so be aware if your precious about your paint work this might not be the site for you. This isn’t an issue to me but others may find this useful.

From the manager: Thanks for the great review 🤩
The site/staff nice, but not worth the price, especially off season
Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite
Liked Clean toilets, friendly staff and nice on-site cafe.
Disliked Approach to site is very narrow and the entrance is chllenging, the site is very exposed and sloped. The price does not reflect the facilities and is expensive for a basic site.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: So Sorry you feel our pricing is too much for a basic site, however compared to other campsites we believe we are fairly priced. (Our pricing structure has not changed since covid). We are very open that our campsite has basic facilities.
The website indicates a tight entrance and gives instruction on the best way in from the main roads.
