Liked: All site facilities were super clean and plenty of room.
Greeting at reception was really helpful and friendly.
When we asked if we could change pitches to be further away from the road this was no problem at all

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: The staff member at reception was very kind and welcoming. It was quiet as no one was staying there. Toilets were clean.

Disliked: The place should not be open, there are no facilities currently and what you assume to be the club house has no roof, looks burnt down! 20p cost to use the hair dryer.

About a 15 minute drive into Padstow. No taxis available, half of the list of numbers given cut you off when you tried to call so we had to unplug our van to drive ourselves into Padstow for dinner.

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked: Friendly staff, clean site and facilities. Large pitches. Central for all tourist places.

Disliked: Restaurant under refurb should be mentioned on site profile. Bus stop down the road but only 2 buses a day, we were left stranded 6 miles away, taxis too busy so lovely couple gave us a ride back to site.

Local attractions

Gourmets will want to make a beeline for the fishing village of Padstow three miles away, famous for its concentration of Rick Stein eateries and shops, and a pretty place to visit to boot. If you want to take up the 'Seven Bays for Seven Days' challenge, you’ll be ticking off some of Cornwall’s best family beaches, such as Harlyn Bay and Porthcothan Beach, but if the weather’s not up to much, there’s no shortage of fun things to do for all ages in nearby Newquay and beyond. The popular Crealy Great Adventure Park is only a couple of miles away too, and has an huge indoor area for tots to teens on top of all the outdoor thrills and spills.
