Liked: Location was OK, 15 mins walk to a local pub in a very beautiful village.

Disliked: Composting toilets and outside shower. Never again will I go on a site with either of these.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Fantastic location just a short walk from the coast path, and stunning sea views. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Particularly liked the relaxed atmosphere and lack of rules and regulations. Facilities are unconventional but are functional and clean.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Wow this place really is amazing! This is a family run site through and through and the owners are the loveliest people you will meet who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They really are the heart of this campsite and are such genuine, kind and friendly people. This place is properly dog friendly and doesn’t charge for dogs which is a refreshing change! The views are absolutely out of this world incredible and you are surrounded by sea views and fields. The location to Cadgwith and Kynance cove is perfect. The campsite is exactly what we wanted - enough facilities to mean we can camp comfortably, without taking away from the beauty and rawness of what camping is about. No distractions, surrounded by nature with lovely people and epic views. We will be back for sure!! Thank you so much.

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Absolutely brilliant!!!! Amazing sea views and the owners were so lovely and helpful. We got our van stuck in wet mud and the wonders were more than happy to pull us out with their tractor! There are lovely hot showers, a sink for washing up, toilets and they even wash your clothes for only £5. Very Dog friendly too! We have had such a lovely time and will definitely be visiting again!

Disliked: There was nothing we disliked, everything was perfect!

Local attractions

If you’re still hankering after more sea and sand, there are two beaches (with pretty cool seaside cafés too) at Kennack Sands (10 minutes’ drive). And if you fancy a plunge or just a slightly more challenging dip, the local activity centre (10 minutes) will introduce you to the sea through coasteering, kayaking and paddleboarding. There are walks and bays all around the Lizard Peninsula, but if you want something a little different, you can stroll through botanical gardens at Trebah Garden (35 minutes). Head a little further into Falmouth for Pendennis Castle (45 minutes), a pretty mighty fortress looking out to sea. Big or small, kids are likely to find one of their favourite rides at Flambards Theme Park (20 minutes). If you’re willing to travel a little further, The Eden Project (an hour and 20 minutes) also makes an intriguing day out, as the domes are home to rather huge tropical gardens.
