Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked Friendly helpful staff. Spacious pitch.
Clean shower and loos, and wash up area. Plenty of space and room to hang clothes too, in the family showers.
Useful little provisions shop.
Enoughb basic ‘rules/requests’ to keep the site running well, but not too many to feel like you can’t relax.
We camped out of season.
Easy to catch the regular bus no.56 to Padstow. 40min journey, and dog friendly.
