What customers say
Spacious, level pitches on a unique airfield site with great coastal views and things to do. Staff are a highlight – super friendly and helpful. Good value with basic facilities, though reviews mention showers/toilets could be cleaner and there aren't always enough when it's busy.

Unpowered grass site
Liked We have just returned home from what was only meant to be a last minute 1 night trip in our van, we ended up staying for 2 and even that wasn't enough! We had the best time! Kev and Kerry were amazing and so welcoming. The site has hot showers, plenty of toilets, a cafe and a bar. We really enjoyed the food and all the staff were so friendly. There was this proper cool ice cream van playing some banging tunes! There was a park for the kids too. We were told how to get the best view of the sunset...we were not disappointed! Perranporth beach was only a 5 min drive down the road. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for making our family feel so comfortable and safe. See you again soon!

Anonymous Unpowered grass site
Liked The Pitch was large and flat for a field lots of room choose your own spot we chose sea view sunset view which was great
Coastal path was direct from site to perranporth and st Angus lovely views
Car show and drive them yourself show was on the air field which was a bonus
Everybody body friendly and a freedom to enjoy nice little bar with beer garden to watch the planes and parachuters coming down so over all nice camping place with things going off
Disliked Probably the free for all toilets that are shabby that’s about only thing that spoils the site
