Powered cement/asphalt and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Sympathetic site to nature. Gentle atmosphere, spaced out pitches around the edge of the field with mowed paths. Grateful for the availability of fire pits, phone charging packs, central fridge and freezer.

Disliked: Nothing.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: A lovely site with lots of thoughtful extras such as power-banks to borrow, a fridge and freezer free to use and hammocks to hang out in. The showers were great and facilities were well thought out. Gweek is just 10 minutes down the hill which is really pretty with an amazing shop and nice pub

Disliked: Maybe the bins and scrap to be reused could be screened away

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Campsite was really quiet and safe for kids to run around and play and just be kids. Little playground and trampoline were nice extras for the kids. Toilets, showers and washing up areas were clean. Nice little walk to take the dog.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Lovely family friendly campsite! Big pitches, clean facilities, lovely eco friendly products provided (washing up liquid and soap/shampoo in bathrooms). Overall a really great, quiet and friendly site! Our young kids had a lovely time playing with other children and on the trampoline and slide available, felt very safe. Lovely space with hammocks to relax. Village has lovely shop, pub, cafe and seal sanctuary, all of which we used and loved. Thank you very much!

Disliked: The local navy base does do a fair amount of night helicopter flying so take earplugs if you're a light sleeper!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Small, peaceful campsite with a brilliant location! We have 100% found our go-to Cornish Camp and will be back again next year. Showers, toilets, washing areas kept clean and tidy. Van on-site with electric which had a fridge, freezer, power banks and emergency kitchen for visitors to use was a fantastic idea. The hammocks were a big hit with the kids and adults alike! The owners were very friendly and present each day!

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Cornwall does wild and sublime well, and with fishing and tourism so key to the area, you won’t be far off many of Cornwall’s top attractions. It all comes down to how far you want to go. Flambards Theme Park (10 minutes' drive) is particularly close by for all manners of rides, and beaches are all about, including the sandy Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach (15 minutes), surf central Kennack Sands (20 minutes) and the particularly pretty Kynance Cove (half an hour), managed by the National Trust. With connections to the Celts, legends and other histories, Cornwall’s not short on history either. For one, Pendennis Castle (half an hour) has war weapons displayed at its splendid spot looking out over the coast. While you’re that way, dive into Falmouth (25 minutes) – in the literal sense, as diving activities are available here, or there’s snorkelling and sailing to keep to the surface. For some more dramatic views, Trebah Garden (20 minutes) delivers on this front. This sub-tropical garden by the sea is particularly splendid. Of course, there’s Lizard Point (25 minutes) too – as the most southerly point in England, it has properly good views and coastal walks galore.
