Liked: Pleasant and quiet site with basic but ample facilities, local walks and chances to catch the sunset. Nice to be able to have fires/bbqs and a great cafe on site with tasty breakfasts/ lunches. Great location for Falmouth and the seaside.

Liked: If youâre looking for a relaxing and thrilling stay, via ferrata is a great place to consider. We stayed for one night and from the moment we arrived, staff were very welcoming and helpful. We got taken to our pitch and was shown where the toilet, washing and shower block facilities were. A very basic layout but very clean. A star point is the exciting zip lines, high ropes and other activities available via online booking .. which is great for thrill seekers. Not forgetting the prettiest cafe with a lovely view. Loved it, great value for money and would happily come back! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Liked: The staff were extremely friendly and keen to provide excellent service. The cafe was nice and welcoming. We did a few activities, in which we found the staff attentive and helpful. This all made an enjoyable holiday, thank you!
Disliked: Although the staff tried to maintain cleanliness in the shower block, this wasn't successful as people were still using the facilities whilst being cleaned. Might be worth closing for a short period, daily to complete a deep clean.

Liked: This campsite was excellent! Small camping areas with a maximum of half a dozen tents on each, plenty of wind-breaks, shade and shelter. Lovely and quiet, no noise from anything but the owls. Toilet and shower facilities were spacious and clean. The campsite staff member who we met was very friendly and helpful. The cafe breakfasts were excellent with a lovely view over the quarry where activities took place. Falmouth is only seventeen minutes away for shopping, and many beaches and attractions are within easy driving distance. We'll definitely come back.
