What customers say

This well-located, budget-friendly campsite offers spacious pitches & a relaxed vibe. Guests loved the friendly staff, handy access to amenities/beaches, and essentials like hot showers & charging points. Basic facilities generally clean, though some desired more showers & better drainage. A few noted cleanliness & dated facilities.

Donna W.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Spacious pitches, quiet, access to a hot shower and phone charging point (very handy). Even has a fridge/freezer to use.

Disliked The women’s shower was cold when I used it sadly. I used the men’s on a different day which was good.
The site is quite exposed so when the winds are high your tent gets a bit battered.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Laid back check in process, quiet site for the time of year and lots of space to choose from albeit a bit slopey!

Facilities were clean.

Utility area was great, especially the large fridge.

Disliked I was unable to get a warm shower despite following the instructions for when the water goes cold. I would have preferred single sex toilet facilities and would not have booked if I realised they were mixed.

The lights were off in the toilets during the night and I couldn't work out how to turn them on!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Uncomplicated and basic campsite and useful to have the provision of a freezer and a charging point.

Disliked Too few, quite cramped and very tired facilities. We weren’t expecting frills and didn’t want them but it could do with updating.

Local attractions

With so much choice in the way of beaches and coastal hikes, you’ll want to weigh up your options. To go to Constantine Bay (five minutes’ drive), a sandy destination with excellent swimming and rockpooling? Or Harlyn Bay (10 minutes), another sandy spot that has kayaking and paddleboard hire, coasteering activities and a surf school for those of you looking to catch your first wave? There’s Treyarnon Bay (10 minutes) to brush up on your surf skills some more and Mother Ivey's Bay (10 minutes) if you’re searching for a more sheltered sandy bay. As for other ways to take in the gorgeous coastline, head to Padstow (10 minutes) to board a boat from the fishing port or Trevose Headland (10 minutes) to go birdwatching along the National Trust's clifftops. The following both have camel in the name, but they’re very fine activities with a different spin: Camel Creek Adventure Park (10 minutes) is packed with family-friendly rides and animals that the kids can meet up close, while The Camel Trail (10 minutes) is an 18-mile old railway trail that will take you on a cycle from Padstow, past the estuary and into Wadebridge.
