Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: It is a basic site with hot shower, washing base, and toilets ,what else do you need. The beach was 15 min walk, close to the Eden project . John was very welcoming and very helpful. Cannot wait to come back next summer
Disliked: The car park next to the site had a gate that was never locked with was access for the market hall and the night emergency (portal's wasn't clean as often.

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: Proximity to amenities. Cleanliness of facilities
Disliked: Very basic; a field with portacabins for loos and showers next to a public carpark. The site felt a bit abandoned. We tried calling to let them know we would not be arriving before 6pm, but could only leave a message. We arrived and couldn't see any instructions for us, so found a space and pitched up. The following morning we awoke to find a carboot sale setting up in the adjoining carpark.

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: Close to the Eden project and restaurant (Sam’s diner) next door.
Disliked: The location and setup of the campsite is poor - it’s next to a set of industrial buildings and is a basic area of grass. The toilets are a walk from the campsite across a dark service road (wouldn’t let your children go alone), there is no security around the site and there is constant noise all night from moving vehicles or the busy road. We also woke up in the morning to find a car boot sale in the campsite car park which was out of place. Washing up facilities and showers are basic. Generally speaking, the entire concept needs redesigning.

From the manager: Hi, we are sorry to hear of your troubles during your stay. There are pop-up toilet facilities on the campsite field for our customers convenience - the other toilet block across the road is just an additional, alternate option. Par Camping is a basic site and this is reflected in the price the best we can. We also do everything we can to not falsely advertise anything about our site online. However, we thank you for your feedback and apologise that you did not enjoy your stay with us.
