Primitive grass campsite
Liked: The views, the large pitches, the shower and toilet facilities. Staff were lovely and extremely helpful.
Rifle shooting session was fab!
Microlitre planes and parachuting interesting to watch while relaxing.
Only 2 mile walk to Perranporth and only £7 uber
Disliked: No option of electric hook up but no a problem as we are ok off grid

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Great location.
Disliked: Very very run down site.
Caravans all broken all over the place.
No heating in the very old showers.
Lots of people living on the site full time.
Person that checked us in was very unhelpful, there's the field park anywhere. No site info, no real greeting.
Such a shame as could be a wonderful place.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: It was good watching the planes and stuff. It was good for a parkup.
Disliked: After I'd paid, I was informed showers and toilets were closed.. not a problem for me but could have been an inconvenience for some. Field has a few piles of scrap round the edges and didn't feel particularly secure. Only 3 others in the field.

Liked: All the staff that we met were fantastic and very welcoming.
Loved being so close to the coast path for some fantastic walks along the coastline.
Enjoyed the fact we just parked up in the field and enjoyed watching the small planes and parachuters. We were self sufficient so were more than ok with the basic facilities, as we never feel we need anything flash. We just loved being outdoors and were so fortunate to have super weather in October.
We hope to go again.

Liked: Lovely hot showers, clean toilets, spacious field & amazing sunset over the sea, peaceful site & great breakfast in the cafe.
Disliked: Can be quite windy up there & no one answered the landline contact number we were text if we needed to call the site. Did get through on a mobile number we found online.
