Lovely, spotless site with grand pitches & top facilities. Staff are brilliant, creating a chilled vibe. Perfect for exploring Cornwall, near the beach. Minor points: shop hours & lukewarm showers. Great for a return visit.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Cleanliness of facilities and site in general. Staff super friendly, polite and helpful.
Disliked WiFi was good for streaming music or watching tv. However, think it may need an upgrade as last time (2years ago) it was much better.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The camp site was very secure, the dog run was brilliant, the toilet and showers were great I liked that there was cubicles for doing teeth and having a wash, milkshakes from the shop were gorgeous.
Disliked Only dislike was the middle speed bump was too high and on arrival my car hit it really hard because of all the weight in my car

Liked We had a lovely stay at this campsite. The grounds were clean, peaceful, and well-maintained, with good facilities and a reasonable price. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made us feel truly welcome.
We initially booked for one night but were so impressed that we ended up extending our stay by another night.
Disliked The only reason we’re giving 8 stars instead of 10 is because the main access road to the site was closed from 6:30 PM until the next morning, and unfortunately, the campsite didn’t inform us in advance. As a result, we had to take a detour. Google Maps led us down a very narrow lane, and our motorhome got scratched by overhanging branches.
It would have been great to receive a heads-up about the road closure ahead of time. Apart from that, everything else was excellent!

Amazing site so family friendly. Perfect location.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything this was an amazing site. Great park, lovely field with tennis rackets and room for football. Games room with table tennis and pool all free. Beautiful sunrise and set over the area. Location was amazing only 5 mins drive to local beach which was great for swimming but amazing for boarding. Great pubs near by. Would 1000% return and recommend.
Most clean well kept site we have every been to. Also the milkshake were definitely a hit with the kids. Staff were so friendly.
Disliked Nothing.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (premium)
Liked Excellent site, fantastic amenities, well maintained, couldn’t ask for a better pitch. Perfect position for Porthtowan, lovely all round stay. Look forward to returning.
Disliked Nothing really! Dog walk could have been slightly bigger but not a big problem, they even had dog waste bags and water to clean away.
