Big bit of fresh country air, not over manicured, natural and healthy
Unpowered grass site
Liked Lovely! Spacious, quiet, clean, down to earth site, clean showers - which are included - and a well-stocked shop and comfortable cosy café. The farm family running the site are really friendly and nice. I found the honesty shop (available all hours)very handy, you just pay online. Even in August, there’s tons of space between pitches and the site is silent at night. It’s also dark so a fantastic night sky for star gazing. Great for sunsets too. The shower, toilet and washing up block is kept clean and there is plenty of hot water. The water is natural ground water pumped up on site and it’s superb. There is a freezer and charging hut. On Saturdays, There’s homemade pizzas. The farm has animals such as goats, llamas, peacocks, chickens and geese for children to feed. There’s lots of space for children to play. The location is fabulous: just a short drive to Coverack, Cadgwith (superb restaurant/ tea rooms) Kennack sands, Lizard and Gunwalloe which are all gorgeous, and of course the wonderful coast path. Helston has huge supermarkets and petrol stations. If you want a nearby dog walk, we found Goonhilly Downs good, which is a 5 minute drive. We also liked walking in the woods at Penrose, Porthleven harbour (Porthleven ale - bottled - is not to be missed) and the fish and chips at the Smugglers in Lizard! There’s quite a lot to explore nearby such as animal sanctuaries and Riptide bar which has live music on weekends (just a few minutes away). I found the pricing system much fairer than most sites. I would return to this site for all the above and its excellent value.

Liked A peaceful spacious site with excellent sunsets and incredible night skies. The toilet block was clean and the free showers were always warm. The on-site cafe was handy for the occasional cooked breakfast and the beer & pizza night on Saturday was an added bonus. Highly recommend.

Unpowered grass site
Liked We've had an absolutely brilliant stay here and, without a doubt, it's one of the best campsites I've visited. The relaxed atmosphere is exactly what camping should be. Being able to choose where to pitch, without feeling crammed in, made a huge difference.
The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their campsite and their guests. The facilities are clean, the showers have always been hot, and having plug sockets available for charging devices is a great touch. The farm shop and café are well worth a visit, and the animal field is lovely for both children and adults.
I came here with my dog, Skye, and she's had the holiday of a lifetime. From exploring the fields to discovering the sea for the first time, she's absolutely loved every minute. The campsite is peaceful, safe and a perfect base for exploring the Lizard Peninsula and the surrounding coastline.
One of the things I appreciated most was the peace and quiet. At night it's incredibly dark, making it perfect for relaxing and stargazing. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle and simply enjoy Cornwall, this is the place.
I honestly can't fault our stay. We've already said we'll be back, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a friendly, peaceful and well-run place to stay.
