What customers say
This is a clean, friendly campsite with well-maintained facilities, including hot showers. Guests highlight the welcoming owners, spacious pitches, and a popular swimming pool. The site is well-located for exploring local beaches and attractions, with good amenities such as a shop and fire pits available for rent. While most reviews are highly positive, one guest experienced issues with management and site rules.

Really lovely site, will 100% book again.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Really lovely site - very friendly staff, spotless and well thought out facilities! The showers were fantastic - powerful and roomy. Pitches in the far field were roomy and well spaced out. The kids loved the play space in the middle too.
Disliked The timer switch in the little toilet block in the far field went off too quickly if you were trying to brush your teeth.

DON'T VISIT HERE. Terrible management
Primitive grass campsite
Liked camping grounds themselves are pretty good
Disliked Owner was rude, aggressive and completely unreasonable, as well as incompetent. Pitches were moved without explanation and the owners on multiple occasions berated me for using Pitchup instead of booking directly. The campsite doesn't feel like a standard, relaxed, camping atmosphere, it's tightly controlled and stifling. Many other visitors complained to me about how many rules there are, and the owner poking around their camps, checking cars and a few missed the old owners. The new management are obviously out of their depth and can't handle the flexibility required to do the job. Do yourself a favour and go to a proper campsite with flexible chilled out management instead.

From the manager: We feel it is important to clarify the circumstances for future guests.
Your check-in time was 2pm, but you arrived at around 10am. Despite this, we offered you an early check-in as a gesture of goodwill but you refused.
You then parked two vehicles in our arrivals and departures area, preventing other guests from accessing the site. When asked to move them, you subsequently parked in front of our neighbour’s access and intended to leave the vehicle there for the day. We could not allow this, as it would have obstructed our neighbours driveway.
We offered to refund your booking, which you declined.
During your stay, we received complaints about your noise, behaviour around other guests’ pitches and vehicles obstructing a passing point required by other guests, caravans and emergency vehicles. Three vehicles were also parked around your pitch, including an additional vehicle that had not been fully paid for.
We want Cambrose to be relaxed and welcoming, but we also have a responsibility to maintain safe access, respect our neighbours and ensure every guest can enjoy their stay.
The issues raised with you were not about being unnecessarily restrictive; they were about basic site rules, safety and consideration for others.
We wish you well with your future camping trips.

Powered grass campsite
Liked Wahnsinnig familiär und engagiert geführt, tolle Stellplätze. Darüber hinaus regelmäßig Pizza- und Nachoabende, tolles Ambiente. Top Lage, von dort kommt man an viele Orte und Strände in der Umgebung. Rustikal und vielleicht nicht für jede/n passend, aber für uns eine 10/10!! WLAN nicht das beste, das Handynetz im gesamten Cornwall war nicht so, hilft beim digital Detox.

Great campsite
Powered grass campsite
Liked Really well presented camp site, nice pool, great showers and good coffee. The dedicated playing field with a meadow buffer is fantastic. The location is brilliant for getting about in Cornwall and the owners have some great local knowledge to make your stay even better.
Disliked Being picky the taps to wash the pots on the lower field are too short making things tricky and the water wasn’t hot if someone else had just washed up.
