Liked Lovely site, very good facilities and very easy access to helston.

Disliked Just wished the cafe was open on Monday.

Liked Fantastic small quiet campsite with immaculate facilities. The owner is lovely, there’s the option for a delicious breakfast, great coffee and cakes at the on-site cafe.
We walked into Helston for the evening which took about half an hour. We would definitely stay again.

Liked Gender neutral facilities available. There are 2 gender neutral bathrooms containing a toilet and shower. They are within a portakabin style facility that has steps. They were well maintained.

There was baby changing in one of the gender neutral bathrooms, not sure about the binary ones.

There is also one ladies and one gents, which I would assume also contain a toilet and shower but am not sure. These were on the same level as the ground, so may be more suitable with mild mobility difficulties. There was also a sign saying an additional ladies is available in reception.

Donkey petting :)

Beautiful starry sky on a clear night

Knowing the cafe is available reduced anxiety around being fully food prepared given the quite isolated location.

The cafe is inside with plenty of seating. The menu is pretty diverse considering its a small campsite cafe where only campers are likely to use it. I had a brief scan of the menu and was impressed at how much was available. It looked like it was great for breakfast, lunch or tea and cake. The cake was good. There was Gluten free and vegan cake options. I didn’t look at the menu for these but given it has been thought of for the cake, it is a possibility.

There are also 2 enclosed and covered but outdoors seating areas plus the small reception area inside a building. This means there are plenty of options for rainy days on site.

Site has a nice view.

There are some outdoor seating, it looked like some toys were put out (but they may have been a campers), the reception has charging available with lots of 3 pin sockets, there was a washing machine and I saw books either here or in the cafe or both, 2 washing up sinks which quickly provided hot water and offered washing up liquid and sponge, drinking water, BBQ coals bin and main bins in car park at entrance to pitches, chemical disposal.

Close to Helston, seal sanctuary. The SW coast path isn’t too far from Helston.

If noise sensitive: I noticed a number of distracting/annoying man made noises, which are likely due to the farm location. There was also a cockerel in the morning. I couldn’t hear it in my van (I heard it whilst using facilities around 5am) but would have heard it in a tent and the donkeys occasionally make some noise, but I personally enjoyed that. It is a small location with plenty of pitches so you are likely to be close to others, so if chit chat or tent flapping bothers you, it likely isn’t the site for you. Although it may be considered a quiet location by most, if you are sensitive and seeking some peace, go for the donkeys and cake instead.

Mobility Accessibility (caveat: I do not have mobility issues myself so this is from the point of view of an able bodied person trying to provide accessibility information): No specific accessible toilet/shower seen.
The site is flat, some pitches are close to facilities and all are not far.
Food available for breakfast and lunch on days cafe is open.
Terrain is predominantly mowed grass. There is a narrow gravel path in front of the binary facilities and leading into the cafe but there is an entrance to the cafe from the grass too. There is a narrow sloped gravel path to reception but you can also walk around via the road and path to get to reception.
The binary gendered facilities do not have steps.
The washing up is under cover and quite a tight space in front of the sink.
The drinking water tap is over a square shower tray so may be a stretch for some.

Disliked There were 2 person prices for tents but I didn't see any for vans. As a solo camper, I would have preferred a slightly lower price but chose to stay as it was a helpful location for attending an event in Helston.

Not aware of anywhere to access from site, doesn’t mean there wasn’t but it was accessed via small country roads, so likely not a site to pitch and go out and about without a vehicle (or bicycle).

Liked Lovely family, really accommodating and the facilities are top notch and clean; not to mention the picturesque view. The campsite is situatiated near a lot of the amenities as well as tourist places from hidden gems to major tourist destinations such as St. Ives. Perfect for families, especially for toddlers. Highly recommend this campsite :)

From the manager: Thank you for the review 😀

Liked This is absolutely the best campsite I've ever been to! The staff are all so friendly, very accommodating to us arriving late (thanks to traffic) and so kind to our kids. I loved that Dawn remembered their names, considering she must meet so many different people every day. The donkeys were very friendly too, our youngest particularly enjoyed them.
The facilities were clean and in good condition, the site was nice and peaceful, perfectly located for us to explore the local area. We'll definitely be back again soon! The narrow country lane leading to the farm was a bit tricky to navigate, but not too bad for us in our little car.

From the manager: Thanks Abigail for the lovely review 😀

Liked Fantastic site, stayed for 7 nights. Friendly and approachable owner. Very reasonably priced, emaculate facilities, cafe running from Thurs-Sun serving fabulous food. Friendly donkeys, a shed full of toys for the children. Lovely surroundings and well placed to explore lots of Cornwall. We will be coming back!

Liked I'm a single 50+ with a little dog. I felt very safe. Excellent basic facilities and the thriving cafe for several mornings was a lovely surprise. It was dog friendly, tents well spaced apart (there was 8 of us in a big field), lovely to say hello to the donkeys. There was access to a shared fridge and plugs for charging and hair tongs etc, there were supplied indoor and out door activities if anyone is interested in games, excellent outdoor washing-up facilities, all the campers were friendly and most of all Dawn and the rest of the staff were wonderful. I cant say anything better than I have booked it again, 2 weekends later, and I will be back there for the weekend in a couple of hours. Cant wait. Thank you so much for making my camping experience wonderful.

Disliked Nothing - I have paid a lot more for facilities much more basic than here.
