Liked: I don’t know where to begin how amazed I was with this place! We arrived quite late (8pm ish) we checked in pretty quickly & was told we could pick a spot anywhere. The gentleman was lovely. He told us that 3 people were about to land (jumping from a plane) it was one of the most amazing things I’ve seen with the most gorgeous views !! The kids played on the play park until it went dark & we then had a bbq on our pitch & star gazed until late. We all had a good nights sleep and slept til late morning. We went across the cafe for breakfast & got told we could check out whenever we were ready (I was worried it was 12pm as we didn’t wake up til 11am) the breakfast was lovely & the staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate our fussy eaters. Absolutely amazing stay at a fab price & just an amazing place doing great things!!
Disliked: Cannot fault this place at all!

Liked: Smashing site. Level. It is based at Perranporth Airfield which is really busy! We spent all day watching parachute jumping, planes taking off and landing, and microlights taking off and landing. There is a bar onsite which does snacks. The staff are really friendly. The only thing that lets it down is the showers and toilets. They were really run down I'm sorry to say, hence only 4 stars. Apart from that, loved it!
Disliked: Showers and toilets weren't brilliant.

Liked: Nice open space. Good views of the airplanes flying around, which were not intrusive. Good views of the sea and close to coastal walks.
Disliked: Toilets not the cleanest. Site was littered with rubbish from past campers...which I see is not the owners responsibility, and the waste disposal was in disarray...just seemed unkempt ...site seemed to want some TLC
