A tidy, peaceful site with great size pitches and fantastic facilities
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Everything.
A lovely peaceful site which is well maintained and was perfect for our stay. From the moment we arrived we were greeting with such a lovely warm welcome and all the information we needed.
The pitch was a perfect size for our twin axle tourer and full awning, perfectly level. The site itself was very well maintained and clean throughout. WiFi on the pitch was great, a first for us and kept the teenagers happy.
The facilities were clean and well decorated feeling very new. The laundrette and book swap was great.
The dog was in her element with a lovely enclosed field to run around in and even a dog wash for the end of the day after getting all sandy on the beach.
Everyone we met was lovely and it was nice and quiet in the evenings.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, we will definitely be back!

Immaculate campsite in a great location close to Newquay!
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked - beautiful site.
- really well maintained.
- huge hard standing pitches.
- accessible WiFi which was actually good.
- Nellys restaurant on site which was one of the best meals I have ever had! You need to book in advance. Surf and turf is to die for and such good value for money.
- really dog friendly. We have a dog that becomes anxious when other dogs approach but the site is clear that dogs need to be on a lead which was reassuring to us.
- secure dog exercise field which is also really well maintained.
- facilities are stunning!!!! Toilets and showers are immaculate.
- dog shower and great washing up facilities.
- laundry area with a communal freezer.
- great location, close to Newquay!
- lovely and quiet and peaceful.
- nice to be by the lake watching the fishermen and saw some great wildlife.
- owners were super friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and even offered to take our rubbish for us as he was passing the bins. Went above and beyond! Also upgraded us to a lakeside pitch as it was quiet which was very kind of
Disliked Nothing at all! Can not fault this site. Really is stunning.

Absolutely love it here
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Stopped at Gwinear Camping and honestly… there is absolutely nothing negative we can say about this place. It is stunning.
The setting is beautiful, peaceful and so well looked after. From the moment we arrived it just had that relaxing feel that makes you instantly know you’re going to enjoy your stay.
Pitches are spacious, everything is immaculate and the whole site feels calm and welcoming. You can tell a lot of care and thought has gone into it.
Facilities are excellent too — clean, modern and probably some of the best we’ve come across on our travels so far 👍 There’s also a laundry room… which I will definitely be making use of 😅
Disliked If I had to say something then it would be the shower temperature could be better

Beautiful scenery
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We had a lovely Easter stay in Cornwall and really enjoyed our time away. The location was great, with plenty to do nearby and some beautiful scenery. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and made for a relaxing break.
It was a nice place to spend the Easter weekend, and we appreciated the peaceful atmosphere. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would happily return in the future.

A nice site with level pitches
Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked On entering we were greeted by the owners. They explained about the site and where everything was located. They also put us near the toilets as my wife was disabled. It was a very well kept site which wasn’t too big. Toilets were clean and fresh and even had a basket in case of women’s emergency bits which was thoughtful. Had water to every pitch also hedges for privacy. A nice little restaurant that seemed very popular, especially in the evenings for non residents as well. A good safety barrier for going in and out. I wanted to see what the fishing was like and told seeing as I was on site I could have discount per session.
Disliked Not disliked but thought the fishing was run by them but was where you could see the lake.you had to go through a gate and walk away from site to another lake and there was a proper tackle shop which was well stocked with everything you could think of and for fishermen like myself it was the best I’ve seen for a long time. This is where you could get your fishing ticket by booking. I fished the specimen lake but wasn’t very successful for the days I done but on speaking to others that were there they didn’t catch anything either.
In the toilets where you pulled paper out seems to get stuck as it’s where people were pulling from different places.
