What customers say
Spectacular ocean views, steps from Praa Sands beach. Praised for friendly staff, roomy sites, clean facilities with hot showers. A top base for Cornwall. Some found fields sloped; a few noted facility cleanliness/quantity issues, especially for men, and the steep climb from the beach.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Good location, view of beach, large site, shower toilet block. Nice hot water. Clean.
Disliked A very sloped field - if you are on the upper edge you are ok but rest of space is very sloped. Showers ok - but mine drained slowly and not a lot of space in them. Had to pay to charge a phone.

Good site, very close to beach, good price, nice facilities
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Good facilities, toilets, washroomwith washing machine, showers. Close to beach 5 minute walk (though up/down a steep hill). Excellent views. Had Wi-fi that extended quite a long way into the site, first field anyway.
Disliked Site was on a slope. We managed to find a flat bit but when it's busy that might not be possible

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Spacious pitch although field is on a slope (this is mentioned on the website ) so not a huge problem for me. Facilities spotless, very quiet and not far away from SWCP. Big hill leading to camp site which is a bit taxing after walking all day. Would stay again

Primitive grass campsite
Liked The view
Disliked Shower was not great , no where to put your clothes when drying or dressing , water was a dribble from an old in-line water heater . The pitch was on a hill with deep decline . Only the top row was relatively flat but they were taken . The Wi-Fi didn’t work and the five minute walk was 15 mins via a small lane with no path and winding bends with cars coming up fast . We have small 2 year old so it was dangerous. We ended up driving down to the car park on the beach where campers are aloud for £15 for 24 hours when you arrive . Also the evening was a clear sunny day and night so we were drawn in by the “watch the sunset “ you can’t see the sunset as it’s drops behind the field at the top but you can from the beach ,
