Powered grass tent or campervan campsite

Liked: Nothing not to love about this place. The site is planned well with small pockets of camper pitches rather than loads together. The animal and play area are gorgeous. The facilities are clean and plentiful - never had to wait for a shower. The staff are dedicated, committed and friendly. The food and drinks are high quality and tasty. To offer entertainment on some evenings is lovely.

Disliked: That it's fully booked when we next want to go! WiFi could be better.

Liked: What’s not to like. This place was a little gem. Staff are friendly. Very clean. Pitches are a good size. Very kid friendly my child loved the park and the toddler area. Really relaxed the food was delicious. Bouns with the bus stop being right outside the site.

Local attractions

The nearest beach, Porthcothan, is a small bay popular with families and an excellent spot for bathing and surfing. It’s made up of a narrow inlet with cliffs, sand dunes, rockpools and a little stream running down to the sea all combine to make it an idyllic place for children. The South West Coast Path is easily accessed from here too, for hikes to Newquay eight and a half miles to the south. By road, it’s five and a half miles from the farm to Padstow; a bus running from Padstow to Newquay stops outside the site if you’d rather leave the car behind. Other outdoor activities close by include surfing at Watergate Bay within 15 minutes’ drive or zipping around St Eval Kart Circuit within five minutes’ drive. For food, try the local pub with its spectacular views over Porthcothan Bay, or the Rick Stein seafood restaurant at Padstow. Heading towards the south coast, the Eden Project is 35 minutes’ drive away.
