Liked: Ease of access, great view and clean facilities. Exactly as advertised. Kids had a great time and the view from the fire pit is quite special, especially first thing.

Disliked: Signage is only visible from one direction. We missed it, as came from the other way.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for the kind review, we are so pleased that you had a good time and enjoyed the site. We are working on better signage and have added flags, the what3words does give the exact location to the field gate :)

Local attractions

The historians among you can seek out neolithic standing stones at Minions (20 minutes’ drive), and as the campsite is in Poldark Country, you can potter around the lonely ruins of Cornwall’s tin and copper mining heritage, including the old harbour and copper mine at Morwelham (15 minutes), or nose around the historic quay and working mill on National Trust-owned Cotehele House estate (10 minutes). Plymouth (30 minutes) is also steeped in history, and you can imagine Sir Francis Drake’s legendary bowls match on the Hoe or visit the ship that took the Pilgrim Fathers to America in 1620 at the Mayflower Museum. Should the kids tire of all that history, take them to meet turtles and stingrays at National Marine Aquarium. Getting out into spectacular Cornish landscapes is pretty easy too. Walk up to Kit Hill Summit (10 minutes’ walk) right from the camping field, take on challenging hikes to distant tors in Dartmoor National Park (25 minutes) or lead the kids on a circular walk in forested Lydford Gorge (half an hour) to the dramatic waterfall.
