What customers say
This peaceful site wows with its gorgeous setting, great views, and access to St Ives. Staff, especially Tom and Richard, are noted as super friendly and helpful. Facilities are mostly clean, though some found them a bit dated. Spacious pitches and easy access to sights are also big pluses. Some guests noted issues with facilities when busy, long grass, and pricey basic camping. Still, it’s highly recommended for a chill escape.

Beautiful and highly recommended site!
Primitive grass campervan campsite (pet friendly, sloping)
Liked The campsite lies in beautiful lush green surroundings, with wide views in all directions. The pitch we had was overlooking the hills and we had stunning sunsets every night. It's quiet and peaceful. Super friendly and helpful staff. Toilets and showers are a bit dated but functioning fine and plenty of them. Harry (staff) helped us out with how to get around in the area, which was much appreciated. It's only a 10 mins drive to St. Ives.

We are a family of five.…
Primitive grass tent campsite (pet friendly, sloping)
Liked We are a family of five. We also brought our little Shih Tzu with us. We love the facilities, 3 toilet each for male and female, and likewise with the shower cubicles. The longest queue I had to wait for was 3 minutes.
The allocated plot was very spacious, with wooden picnic table that you could borrow.
The view was just the breathtaking part of the site. It changes as the day goes by. Sunrise and sunset was just amazing.
Staff, well.. I don't know how to start. They were just flawless. One day my van drained it's battery. I had to brave it up and had to ask Richard (one of the great caretakers) if they have a jumper lead. Long and behold! Tom, the superman came. He was very helpful, brought his truck and pulled it in front of my van. Connected the leads and 'voila' it started. He even offered to call them up if my van will do the same outside the camp site, so he can help me. Thankfully, it was fine then.
Distance, to 10 minutes drive to Carbis bay and 15 minutes to St Ives town. Brilliant location and distance. Oh, don't forget the Trink Farm. Best fresh milk ever you can get, only 3 minutes drive down the road.

Cramped, dirty, overall not a good experience
Primitive grass tent campsite (pet friendly, sloping)
Liked Nothing, really, well, the washing-up aren was ok.
Disliked Very small pitches, very loud environment, dirty facilities at all times, and to get to the female toilets and showers you have to walk through the men’s showers.

Liked Very clean and staff were friendly
Disliked Although there seem to be many facilities there they are mostly closed ( this is June not Nov). One male shower and toilet for the whole site!!
Two female showers and a toilet for the whole site. Recptn is never manned and you have to call to check in or get anything from them.
Although there are local pubs within walking distance they don't serve food much and are mostly empty.

Excellent site if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle.
Primitive grass tent campsite (pet friendly, sloping)
Liked That the place was quiet, had all the amenities that you need to enjoy your stay, clean and good quality services such as hot showers and toilets
Plenty of space for our two children to run and play without being in other campers way
Staff were super friendly, when we arrived we got put on a pitch that wasn't suitable for our needs, but once we spoke to a member of staff it was quickly sorted and we moved instantly to a better pitch
Park was great for our 2 children to enjoy themselves while the sun was out
But overall such a good site to unwind, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet
Great views
Disliked Not a big fan of being on a hill, but we made it work, if we go again we will try and ask to be put on a flatter pitch, but it didn't make our stay any less enjoyable
My partner did mention that if the place was busy there wasn't enough services for men (showers and toilets) and couldn't find another toilet block for me, so it meant one shower, a urinal and shower for the whole camp site.
We understand they had only just opened so the shop and bigger toilet block was not open so we couldn't use them.
