Liked: Pleasant and quiet site with basic but ample facilities, local walks and chances to catch the sunset. Nice to be able to have fires/bbqs and a great cafe on site with tasty breakfasts/ lunches. Great location for Falmouth and the seaside.

Primitive grass tent campsite (no pets)
Liked: If you’re looking for a relaxing and thrilling stay, via ferrata is a great place to consider. We stayed for one night and from the moment we arrived, staff were very welcoming and helpful. We got taken to our pitch and was shown where the toilet, washing and shower block facilities were. A very basic layout but very clean.
A star point is the exciting zip lines, high ropes and other activities available via online booking .. which is great for thrill seekers. Not forgetting the prettiest cafe with a lovely view. Loved it, great value for money and would happily come back! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Liked: The space provided for electric pitch is massive, everything you need is available- shower loo kitchen sink
Disliked: Needed a mop for the showers so it’s clean for the next person- staff are doing a great job but campers should be able to help them out by cleaning up their mess

Primitive grass tent campsite (no pets)
Liked: The staff were extremely friendly and keen to provide excellent service.
The cafe was nice and welcoming.
We did a few activities, in which we found the staff attentive and helpful.
This all made an enjoyable holiday, thank you!
Disliked: Although the staff tried to maintain cleanliness in the shower block, this wasn't successful as people were still using the facilities whilst being cleaned. Might be worth closing for a short period, daily to complete a deep clean.
