What customers say
Lovely, peaceful spot with great pitches & activity centre. Staff are sound, helpful and professional. Cafe's decent. Showers/toilets are basic but clean. Campers love the space, fires, and starry skies. Just a shame some campers don't tidy up after themselves.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)
Liked We loved our stay! The pitch was nicely sheltered, and the on-site café served fantastic coffee and breakfast with friendly, welcoming staff and great views. Before our arrival, a lovely lady even called to make sure we had clear directions, which was really helpful. Highly recommend!
Disliked The only downside was that the showers were a bit dire, but overall it was a very enjoyable stay.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)
Liked The lovely cafe, friendly staff, clean facilities and good price
Disliked It was more of an activity centre with a camp site added to it which we hadn’t quite understood until we got there. Good as a place to pitch your tent and explore Cornwall from rather than spend time at the site

From the manager: Hi Becky
Many thanks for your review, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoyed the facilities and Cafe and felt well supported by our team.
Whilst we have created some nice spots to explore, including the nature trails and wild play area etc., we agree that we aren’t a full blown ‘Holiday park’ setup, so we do apologise if your expectations weren't met in that way.
We thank you very much for coming and making a difference; our profits support our charity BF Adventure, which helps Cornwall's vulnerable children and gives them the opportunity to try our outdoor adventures and grow in confidence!
All the best

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)
Liked If you’re looking for a relaxing and thrilling stay, via ferrata is a great place to consider. We stayed for one night and from the moment we arrived, staff were very welcoming and helpful. We got taken to our pitch and was shown where the toilet, washing and shower block facilities were. A very basic layout but very clean.
A star point is the exciting zip lines, high ropes and other activities available via online booking .. which is great for thrill seekers. Not forgetting the prettiest cafe with a lovely view. Loved it, great value for money and would happily come back! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful place
Electric grass tent pitch (pet friendly)
Liked The space provided for electric pitch is massive, everything you need is available- shower loo kitchen sink
Disliked Needed a mop for the showers so it’s clean for the next person- staff are doing a great job but campers should be able to help them out by cleaning up their mess
