What customers say
This friendly, peaceful campsite offers spacious pitches and a natural feel. It's a short walk to a beautiful beach and next to a pub. Facilities are generally clean, with a communal fridge and kettle as bonuses. Chickens and a cat add charm. Limited phone signal/Wi-Fi noted, and a few minor facility issues have been addressed.

This is a quite campsite with all the amenities you need.
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (pet friendly)
Liked Beautiful quite setting, large pitches,
Chickens running around so cute
Toilets, wash facilities water etc close by.
The beach is walking distance and an absolute stunning beach.
Flat pitches
Disliked Wouldn’t say disliked just felt like the fridges could do with abit of a clean.
The entrance/exit could maybe do with a mirror to see if there is anything coming as it was quite scary coming out onto the main road.
These point would certainly not put us off coming here again though.

From the manager: Sorry you had a negative experience. I'm struggling to recognise the issues you allude to as the loos and bins are checked twice daily. Occasionally there is a problem, and as we live on site, if people mention any issues to us we can resolve them immediately. During the 24 hours that you were on site, neither yourself, nor any other campers brought any issues to our attention, which seems odd if there were no loo roll available! I have increased our checks of the facilities to three times daily, which is our standard during school holiday periods anyway, but am still surprised to hear you had an issue, especially as all was fine when I cleaned them in the morning.
Lovely basic site
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (pet friendly)
Liked Great basic camping with fully functional rustic facilities in a super location. Sadly the site is low on phone signal for my provider but the charging was great

Lovely place if big sites and noise are not for you
Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (pet friendly)
Liked Location is great...next to pub, short walk across dunes to Gwithian beach and near Hayle for supplies.
Small site (16 pitches). Quiet. Lovely big pitches with bench table each. Semi private with hedges. Ours was no 7, at top end...fab! Level too.
2 good showers, in individual wooden huts...good heat and power. 2 toilets in wooden huts too... good but 1 not available after 1 night but we had our own so we were ok. Chickens scratching around...lovely. would definitely return.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review, it's much appreciated. Glad you had a good time. Sorry about the loo - my husband was away so mending the flush took me a bit longer than it would have taken him!
