Padstow, Cornwall, England
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This little campsite is lovely, quiet and peaceful, the facilities were small, simple but clean and we never waited for showers or toilets in the week we were here. Washing up facilities were good, Washing machine to use ( though we didn’t use it on our stay)
The pitches were plenty big enough, and nice and flat! We did enjoy our stay here.
Very dark at night which is lovely to see the stars and very little light pollution. It was perfect to kick back and relax.
We love Cornwall and it was a good location to access Padstow/Newquay areas. The road in was narrow but nothing as bad as previous places we’ve visited. The lodges looked really nice on site too.
I genuinely didn’t want to pack up to go home, we left the night before we’d planned to go home due to the weather being very wet during the night and packing down a damp tent the following morning.
Disliked On arrival - after a 6 hour +, 33degrees heat (no aircon) travel from the midlands, I was greeted with
“Firstly, you can’t park your van there”
Which I thought was quite unwelcoming. We were happy we had arrived safely, we’d read the board for the pitch number and, as our campervan attaches to the tent we have to unpack everything before we can position where we are. We don’t usually bring the car so that was extra to our usual “travel setup” -I’d just reversed the camper on out of the way. I was under the impression from communication via email the car might have had to be parked elsewhere during our stay.
I 100% appreciate it’s been a very dry few weeks and the fire risk is very high, and the rules regarding spacing between pitches, I was taken back by being spoken to quite abruptly. It took the shine off the start of our stay if I’m honest. First impressions are very important and I thought it could’ve been friendlier and more welcoming. We’ve always followed rules regarding campfires and bbqs and quite frankly I don’t want a burnt down campervan and tent as much as you don’t want a burnt field.

From the manager: Many thanks for taking the time to write a lovely review. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We apologize profusely if came across a bit abrupt we certainly didn't mean it to sound that way. We were very very busy with arrivals when you visited and needed to make sure everyone has the correct spacing in these circumstances with the fire warnings around because of the dry weather and field fires just down the road from us . Some visitors were not as understanding as you were and we were making sure everyone understood the severity of the situation. Hopefully we will see you again in the future. All the best Andy 😁

Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely site with amazing views! 5 mins walk to the beach, we watched the sun set on the sand. Showers and toilets clean. Perfect for what we needed
Disliked The road running up is a tight squeeze but nothing to do with campsite
