What customers say
Grand spot, close to Lizard village & Kynance Cove. Staff are a dote, pitches are grand and facilities decent. Good value, chill camping. A few lads mentioned not enough showers or a bit of long grass, but most reckon it's brill and would come back.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had a fantastic stay at this spacious and well-kept campsite. It’s managed by two men and a lovely lady, all of whom were incredibly kind and welcoming — they really made us feel at home.
The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with good toilets and hot showers. For breakfast, you can enjoy toast or bread and butter along with tea or coffee, which was a lovely touch. The prices are very reasonable too, making it great value for money.
The location is perfect — just a 5-minute walk to Lizard Village, where you’ll find great pubs and restaurants. A really peaceful and friendly place to stay. Highly recommended!

great place to stay
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)
Liked We recently stayed at this campsite while travelling with two kids, and it was a brilliant experience. Check-in was quick and easy, with a super friendly reception team that made us feel welcome right away. The site wasn’t crowded at all, which gave us plenty of space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. There’s a chill-out area on site that’s perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
The location is great – within walking distance to both Kynance Cove and Ellis Kitchen. We were lucky to catch some live music while stopping for drinks and food there, which made for such a fun evening. All in all, a relaxed, scenic stay that we’d happily recommend.
Disliked Only downside? The showers were cold – but honestly, who cares when it’s the middle of summer. Would definitely come back!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The loveliest owners; really reassuring when we realised we’d booked the wrong pitch, and made us a coffee in the morning when we realised we’d forgotten ours (disorganisation all round from us). Really short walk to Kynance cove and a hot shower after Man vs Coast was amazing

Excellent location, staff and facilities
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch (XL)
Liked Great location close to the village with 3 pubs, lots of gift shops, butchers, farm shop, cafes etc. Beautiful scenery nearby at Kynance cove and Lizard point. Great for walking the coastal paths. Lovely warm showers and all the facilities needed for motorhoming. Kind and friendly staff on site.

Basic site
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch (XL)
Liked Large pitches, very quiet even from early evening to late morning owners listened when we had an issue, onsite shop, eco conscious values, walking distance to the stunning Kynance cove.
Disliked The facilities were very basic and not always very clean. It would benefit from another toilet & shower block, especially more showers.
We really didn’t like the site initially upon arrival & almost left, did grow on us a bit. Probably won’t return
