What customers say
Great value, budget-friendly campsite. Enjoy plane and parachutist views from spacious pitches. Friendly staff, clean basic facilities, though some minor wear and tear noted. Peaceful spot near coastal walks.

Action towards cleaning and maintenance is required.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Beautiful sunset.
Disliked Truly awful toilets and shower facilities. Two toilets for the ladies, absolutely filthy, stayed two nights, they were only cleaned once, one toilet did not flush for most of the time leaving one working toilet. The shower floor was muddy. Bins completely overflowing. Pitches delimited so when we arrived some people had pitched with gaps too small to pitch up in, had to pitch practically on end of row too close to another tent. Very noisy on site in middle of the night and no signs to restrict speed so some campers driving too fast around the site. Access is along a narrow road and entrance is not clear

I would go again they took sometime on the facilities.
Unpowered grass site
Liked I liked that you could pitch up anywhere, great for bigger groups. The breakfast was really nice and came out quickly. Nice little park and goal for the kids.
Disliked The entrance to the campsite is the same as the driving/skydiving experiences so we had to wait awhile. It was a busy weekend but the the toilets and shower where not kept on top of. No toilet roll at times and unclean.

The site has potential but facilities need upgrading
Unpowered grass site
Liked Flat pitches, could choose your own pitch. A lovely spot, we enjoyed visiting Perranporth and St Agnes.
Disliked Bathroom facilities really let the site down. Toilets blocked, no sanitary bins and showers were a trickle. The facilities could not accommodate the number of campers.

Poor signage, poor facilities, packed in like sardines. Noisy.

Liked Not very much at all I'm afraid.

Unfortunately this will be our first and last trip to Spitfire.
Unpowered grass site
Liked Site didn’t give allocated pitches so it was great that we could pitch up wherever we wanted, especially as a big group of us.
Disliked Facilities were absolutely horrendous! Not enough showers or toilets to accommodate the whole site. There were times when the site had no water at all, and when it did, the water would trickle out of the showers. Toilets were very rarely cleaned and constantly ran out of toilet roll.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Really enjoyed our stay.
When signing in we was welcomed & information given. Quick and simple. (Great)
Toilets/shower's were clean.
The whole pitch area was clean & free of rubbish (looked after)
Air strip was great to watch planes, if your chilling by the tent.
While there they had a car driving day (again great to watch some beautiful cars race around on Air strip)
Evening/night noise was respectful. Felt safe on site.
Beaches & shops are not far at all.
Disliked Nothing! Great all round.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site (small)
Liked Very nice place to stay - very relaxed laid back vibe.. Great if your an aircraft enthusiast,plenty of light aircraft bobbing about as the campsite is adjacent to to the airfield - it was a spitfire base back in WW2
(It’s not noisy from the aircraft’s I thought I’d add just in case due to it’s not flood lit or anything so mainly daylight flyers so it all quietens off at dusk)
Disliked Nothing
