Liked: Shilla Mill is not cheap, but it's a lovely, tiny campsite in a great location, with lovely owners. It's no more than a ten minute walk from Polzeath seafront, but feels like it's surrounded by woodland and meadows and wildlife. The showers and toilets are clean, the water is plentiful and hot, there are good washing-up facilities, with fire-pits / bbqs available to hire. You can't take your own logs though.
Disliked: There isn't a freezer for freezer blocks; we ended up buying bags of ice from the local Spar for our cool-boxes.

Liked: This is a fantastic site. It is peaceful and has easy access to the beach. My son was particularly pleased with the fire pits as he’d been looking forward to a camp fire. The toilet and shower facilities are slightly basic but they are regularly kept clean and they perfectly adequate. Finally, the owners were a lovely pair who were warm, welcoming and very helpful. I really can’t wait to stay again.

Liked: Fabulous small quiet campsite in a beautiful valley , a short walk to the beach and next to a babbling brook and lovely woodland walk . New and very clean toilet&sink blocks and same for the showers ( clever use of modern sheds to make the cubicles ) . Clean tidy covered sink washing area , drinking water tap and outdoor shower for wetsuits and swimmers . Each site has it own picnic bench and there were fire pits and the on site team sold wood if you needed it . Nice late check out of 12:00 so got to enjoy a morning there to on check out day . Ali and James were very welcoming and helpful. I took my dog who was very welcomed by the owners and who loved the proximity of the stream and woodland walks . Wonderful stay and I can’t wait to go back .
