Liked: Campsite was small but had all the amenities you need to have a great stay - toilets were great, showers were nice and hot and there was a fridge-freezer free for anyone to use which was a lifesaver. Wood and kindling to buy from the house on site, check-in super easy and has everything we needed. It's around a 30min easy walk through the woods to the closest town, Looe, which is so lovely. Very peaceful visit, would recommend.
Disliked: Signal is pretty poor and river was very dirty - both not the fault of the owners.

Liked: The campsite was in a great location right next to the river. The town of Looe was a 30min walk along a woodland path and very easy to get to. Amenities were clean and offered exactly what was needed. The hot showers were also great.

Liked: This camp-site is phenomenal. It is rustic and basic, based deep in a valley surrounded by wildlife and trees with the river flowing by. I found the whole experience slowed me down and allowed real peacefulness to take over. A whole day spent reading and watching the kingfishers made the camp-site feel like paradise itself. This is a family run site. They are so friendly and helpful yet mindful to ensure you get the tranquillity you crave. I will be returning 🤗

Liked: I have stayed here before and liked the friendly nature of the site and the scenic setting. The owners are very welcoming and make you feel relaxed straight from arrival. The site itself is quiet and peaceful and a real place to escape for peace and relaxation. In the mornings I enjoyed sitting out looking over the river and watching all of the wildlife go by. I Couldn't think of a better place to relax with my morning coffee and a book. When we wanted to go out and explore it was the perfect base. It is no more than 30 30-minute walk along the river to the centre of Looe. The amenities provided us with just what we needed. I personally liked all of it and would not fault it.
Disliked: there is nothing to dislike here.

Liked: Location is perfect for those wanting to switch off and escape the chaos of life. Back to basics, watching the stars, kids swimming in the river and building camp fires.
