This is a peaceful, well-kept site with generous, flat pitches and grand, spotless facilities, especially the hot, strong showers. Guests praise the friendly, obliging owner, the handy honesty shop, and the beautiful country setting.

Liked Really enjoyed our stay here, loved everything about the campsite! The laid back vibe, the location, the spacious pitches, the communal fridge/freezer, the nice hot showers, the cute little honestly shop! The little thoughtful bits make this campsite a winner. You have a lovely place Richard & we will definitely stay here again when in Cornwall!

Liked Spaced out site, lots of room for kids to play. Extremely tidy! Showers are amazing hot and powerful. Honesty shop on site for essentials and a great idea of having a swap shop for unwanted usable items. Richie was very friendly and welcoming

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Such a lovely quiet campsite. Spacious pitches, lots of areas to play football etc. The little shop with honestly box was fab - perfect for grabbing marshmallows etc if you'd forgotten. Great location.
Disliked Nothing to dislike. Could probably benefit from a couple of outside sinks with mirrors to save using a toilet when brushing teeth etc. And the phone signal was pretty shocking but can't be helped.

Liked Great site, great base as the site is central too reach most places around that part of the coast within an hour or half an hour directly north or south. 4 toilets 3 showers kept clean. Fridge and freezer, slabs for firepit. Chemical waste and washing up area. Richie was very helpful...thankyou for our stay👍
Disliked Nothing that didn't like.
