What customers say
Gaelic campers love this tidy, tranquil spot with stunning country views, perfect for watching stars. Spacious, level pitches ensure privacy. Toilets and showers are spotless, cleaned often. Owners Simon and Sarah are friendly, helpful, and full of local tips. Great value, with many keen to return. Temporary water glitch sorted smartly by owners.

We will definitely be back! Peaceful and Clean. 5*
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked It was a beautiful setting on a lovely peaceful campsite.
It was our first time camping and Simon was very accommodating and approachable.
Toilets were spotless and cleaned regularly through our stay.
Location was central and stargazing in the evening was beautiful.
Disliked There had been an issue with the water (no fault of the campsite) in the area which meant we had no running water in the sink and no use of the shower for the first day. Simon did drop off 2 full bottles of water to our tent and provided water in bottles in the bathroom, which went above expectations.

First class clean/modern site with very friendly staff.
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We liked everything about the place, it was lovely and level pitches and we were met when we arrived by the owner, who gave us permission to pitch in any of the available spaces. Each pitch was a generous 10 x 10 mtrs and plenty of room to put your car along side. Every pitch had an optional electric hookup at £5.00 a day at the moment, which was excellent value. The toilets and shower block were unfinished on the outside but they were immaculate on the inside and very well monitored for cleanliness. A really good facility.
Simon the owner was always available at the press of a bell if he was needed. Barbecues were allowed as long as off the grass. Beautiful rural site hedged in on 4 sides and minimal traffic passing. Extremely good value for money and we will return for sure as our 4 grandchildren had loads of space to run and play games like cricket and badminton etc all at a rustic level which added to the fun. They were never board as we took lots of games but no electronic devices and they really got to enjoy the countryside at its best.
Disliked Although it’s not fair to call it a dislike and many sites would be the same, we found no car charging facilities a little tricky although not impossible, but after talking to Simon he explained that they were putting six 7 KW chargers in when finances allow. This is very much a developing site and it’s positively going 100% in the right direction.

Excellent site with very well maintained and clean facilities.
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A very calm and relaxed environment with a lovely toilet and shower block. Incredibly clean and very well looked after. We all had a lovely stay and the children had so much space to play cricket, football, tennis and any other games they could think of. Lizard view is perfectly set for local trips to either coast line and the Owners are very friendly and helpful.
Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Everything, it was amazing. The owners are so nice and they checked up on us everyday and gave great recommendations on where to go. The facilities were very good and clean. The campsite is small but well equipped and very peaceful with a great view.
Disliked One thing I would improve is making the shower head adjustable so that it can be adjusted to various heights
