A tidy, tranquil campsite with lovely hosts, especially Norma. Enjoy spacious pitches, great hot food, and clean facilities. Note limited loos but the donkeys are a hit! Access roads are narrow.

Power optional grass caravan site
Liked This was our 3rd time staying at Gwel-An-Nans and never fails to disappoint. Warm welcome as always from our host Norma and quickly setup in our pitch. Wonderful countryside location, views are awesome. Very quiet and peaceful. Great base for exploring both North and South coasts. Facilities were great! Clean wash facilities, hot showers and plenty of electric/water points. Dedicated playing field for the kids. New snack hut is a great addition (amazing coffees/hot chocolates and the homemade Cornish pasties are some of the best we’ve had!!). Can’t fault this campsite or Norma who will always go out of her way for you. Incredible value for money!! Thanks Gwel-An-Nans campsite! We will be back for sure

Lovely relaxing campsite.
Power optional grass caravan site
Liked Super host, welcoming and thorough with site information upon our arrival.
Provided us with lovely warm croissants and pain au chocolat pastries in the morning and proper Cornish pasties for our day at Cardinham woods.
Facilities clean and tidy at all times, decent hairdryer in the ladies.
Beautiful crescent moon a stars at night.
Lovely peaceful and relaxing campsite, great location for Cardinham woods, walks and getting away from it all, just what we were after.

Brilliant camp sote, would absolutely recommend.
Power optional grass tent site
Liked Lovely site with fantastic views.
Great amenities, shower, kitchen with fridge and freezer as well as a microwave.
Electric hookup was brilliant, space for your set up is more than enough.
They even had a food van you could make orders from for various bits.
Owners were incredible, very friendly and attentive.
Overall a fantastic little place and i would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Cornwall as it is fairly central to most places you would want to visit.

I would say it is a great site for small camper vans and campers
Power optional grass caravan site
Liked The site was well managed with hot food at reasonable rates. Norma and Colin were always happy to help.
Disliked The only thing that I was not keen on was the roads to the site. Very steep and winding hills, difficult when towing a large touring caravan. Not much the site owners can do about it.

Looking for a nice, quiet, little campsite?this is the one for you.
Power optional grass tent site
Liked Made to feel welcome from the minute we drove in.
What can we say about our stay at Gwel at Nans. From the moment we drove in (and we arrived a little early) Norma made us feel welcome and at home. She took us around the campsite and showed us our pitch. Such a beautiful spot. She said she was putting on pasties for some other campers so if we would like some for when we finished pitching up our tent, let her know. Oh my they were the best pasties.
The site is Lovely. It’s quiet and has beautiful views of the valleys. You get a decent size pitch and don’t feel like your on top of the next campers.
Norma and Colin were always on site if you needed anything. Always happy to help. They would even come around to make sure everyone was OK and happy.
They have thought of everything. Access to a fridge and freezer, a washer and dryer and even a hairdryer in the bathrooms.
The little food hut is amazing. Offering pasties and croissants, fries and sausage rolls, teas and coffees and proper milkshakes.
We loved our stay and have booked again for next year. Norma thank you for making us feel so welcome and looking after us.
