Liked Very peaceful and relaxing, clean facilities.

Disliked Pitches were a bit weedy and poorly maintained, bar and was closed during our stay. Man in a permanent pitched van urinating up the hedge wasn’t pleasant when your 50m from the toilet block.

Craig H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked We had a great stay here! The motorhome pitches are well laid out, offering plenty of space along with water, drainage, and EHU right on the pitch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the site was well maintained.

We didn’t use the toilet block, so we can’t comment on that, but we really liked the ANPR-controlled barrier for easy and secure access.

It’s a shame that the clubhouse suffered storm damage and hasn’t been repaired yet, but this didn’t affect us at all in our self-contained motorhome.

Overall, it’s a fantastic base for exploring Cornwall—great value, a great location, and we’d happily stay again!

Disliked There are signs all around that say "Dogs must be on a lead at all times" but sadly this is not mentioned on check-in nor enforced.

Be aware of where you are in Cornwall, as there is not a lot on your doorstep, but using your motorhome or car, you are right between Padstow, Wadebridge and Newquay.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Craig, thank you for your review, we do have a new bar facility opening in the next few weeks, and we also have a new park warden Matt who will be making sure dogs are kept on leads in the future. we hope you do visit again.
Thanks Becky

Local attractions

Gourmets will want to make a beeline for the fishing village of Padstow three miles away, famous for its concentration of Rick Stein eateries and shops, and a pretty place to visit to boot. If you want to take up the 'Seven Bays for Seven Days' challenge, you’ll be ticking off some of Cornwall’s best family beaches, such as Harlyn Bay and Porthcothan Beach, but if the weather’s not up to much, there’s no shortage of fun things to do for all ages in nearby Newquay and beyond. The popular Crealy Great Adventure Park is only a couple of miles away too, and has an huge indoor area for tots to teens on top of all the outdoor thrills and spills.
