What customers say
Highly-rated site: spotless facilities, peaceful, beautiful location with rescue animals. "The Crate" cafe gets rave reviews for food. Owners & staff are super welcoming. Some found access roads tight for bigger vehicles; the old pool is closed.

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.
Facilities were great! Nice and tidy…

****** Ideal for a quiet, friendly, and beautifully clean campsite.
Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite (two person)
Liked I liked just about everything. The toilets were spotless. It was quiet and peaceful. Excellent location for those wanting a central base from which to explore the Lizard peninsula by bus. Their café was superb. Dawn and her hubby were incredibly helpful. Sheltered seating with tables in both the cafe and 2 open-fronted buildings meant that I could relax on site without having to sit in my little tent waiting for the sun to come back out! Lots of books, board games and children's toys available. A muti-socket electric power point for charging phones, etc in reception. Good thick hedges provide shelter from possible storms for tents, and the site was pretty level on very well draining, well mown grass covered, soil. And their donkeys and sheep were rescued animals and they all looked very happy in their new home.
They may or may not have WiFi near reception but I didn't ask; there was nothing at the far end of the field - but network reception was excellent. I saw a washing machine in reception but didn't use it - couldn't see how I might dry my clothes, etc, but I didn't ask. If I feel brave enough I think I was told they are open the whole year round with the exception of two weeks at Christmas, but I might have dreamt that! Overall I was made to feel like I was a very important and valued camper :-)
Disliked Café is only open from Thursday to Sunday whilst I was there at the start of September - but well worth the long wait from the Monday I arrived!
Very narrow lane for access - though luckily not a problem for me as I didn't have a car and every vehicle I encountered was conscientious and didn't try to run me down!
Not for people who want lots of fancy facilities - no swimming pool, tennis courts, or bar on site - what they do have though is excellent :-)

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Gorgeously warm welcome from the owners on a windy day, they made sure we were comfortable and had gone to great lengths to ensure all the guests had everything they needed. The space was exceptionally clean and well organised, best showers we've had while camping and the BEST food from the Crate cafe onsite!

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really amazing camp site, really friendly staff and and fantastic owner. Felt at home here! We will definitely have to stay again, children loved the sheep and donkeys too lovely touch. Café fairly priced, vanilla flapjack was absolutely amazing so tasty. Little touches, washing up liquid, hand soaps, charging point, fridge, freezer, kids toys, family games, honestly truly fantastic, a real family camp site. Thank you!
