This is a very friendly, family-run site with welcoming owners and staff, a dog-friendly atmosphere, and great value. Guests highlight clean, hot showers and good clubhouse food. The site is well-located for exploring Cornwall and Devon. Some minor issues reported include occasional clubhouse noise and the need for facility updates. Overall, highly recommended.

Open all year round. Turn up a tourer and leave feeling a local !
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked This site is open all year round and offers great value for money especially off season as the clubhouse provides regular entertainmentant and the drinks and meals are reasonably priced.
Owners Paula & Marc are lovely and make you feel most welcome, and as its a family run site they also do alot for the local community . The showers and toilets are attached to the clubhouse but always very clean and hot. I enjoyed my shower. Pitches are level.
Well situated with beaches like Bude on the North Coast around half an hour drive and about 15/20 minutes to the town of Launceston that has everything you could possibly need.
We will be back especially for the Sunday Carvery.
Disliked Water in the pot wash could be hotter ( they have a sign up about the boiler pilot light ) but not enough to bother me if you just use the hot only.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked One of the best camping spots we’ve stayed at.
The place is beautiful, quiet and really well looked after. What made it special were the owners. We took a wrong turn, got our car stuck, and they genuinely went out of their way to help us, which we really appreciated.
We camp a lot and this is easily one of the best places we’ve been to. Would happily come back and highly recommend it.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Location of site is good
Disliked First night had dinner in the club house, food sat on the side for over 10 minutes before delivered to table. Was cold and hard.
No toilet paper in any toilets at 10:30 pm and still non in men’s at 11:00 despite toilets being cleaned.
Site power to pitches kept tripping out from 5pm on coldest night of the year through and over night, site drawing more current that site main fuse can take. Left site early as not wanting repeat of no power on freezing night.never usually use gas when away, problem with regulator meant couldn’t run heating on gas.

Good size pitch, pretty level. Clean facilities, very friendly staff
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We where very welcomed on arrival. Had a big hard standing pitch. Camping is very clean also the toilets/ showers. The bar restaurant very clean with good priced food, very tasty. Price of the drinks very reasonable. We stayed 2 weeks over Christmas and New year and only paid
£ 258 incl hard standing 2 adults and 2 dogs. Bar /Restaurant was open over the holidays with several evenings entertainment free of charge. Every body was very friendly and made us feel welcome including the locals. Big field for the dogs. There is even a small shop and laundry. I Go back their for sure and recommend this campsite to everyone. There is a play space for children covered so they stay dry when it's raining. Washing up room with pots cooker and microwave and easy grey and black tank empty place.
Disliked Could do with some more showers and toilets

Not a bad place to stay, quite noisy at times until traffic dies down
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked friendly welcome, from other residence otherwise all done online. Had to ring up to find where we were being put. Toilets at the back of the bar were cleaned and tidy and showers.
Disliked water pipe was hanging off the wall. The washer thing was grumpy no interaction with admin of the camp
