Main Field powered grass and gravel campsite

Liked: Beautiful, natural, rustic camp site. Really felt we could enjoy the countryside and being away from it all. The facilities are rustic, the showers are hot and you can listen to birds tweeting whilst sitting in the loo. A friendly chap cycled round each day to check we had what we needed, the rest of the time we were free to do what we want - a stark contrast to the over manicured sites, where you feel like battery chickens sitting in rows organised by over zealous managers!

Upper Meadow primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: What a beautiful campsite!!!! We had a fabulous time. Lovely big pitch, plenty of space even when really busy. Very attentive and friendly staff. Lots of info about the area on display. Facilities were always clean and plenty of toilets all over the site. Handy charging stations and big freezer were of great help. Loved the location with lots of walks straight from camp and only 10/15 min from Coverack village and beach.
