What customers say
Guests rave about the stunning sea views, friendly owners, and peaceful vibe. Facilities like hot showers and composting toilets are clean and functional, though some note they're basic. The food van is a hit, and the location offers great access to coastal paths and local villages.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Absolutely beautiful location and great hosts. The campsite was safe, friendly and quiet. The facilities were just right for us - best compost toilets I have ever used! We loved the coastal path walk to Cadgwith Cove, where we had a wonderful day snorkelling and taking it easy away from the summer holiday crowds. I will definitely be back.

A beautiful camping site with lovely staff and everything you need!
Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked Everything!! The views, the space, the owners, the dogs, the food - It was all amazing and great value too. Recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful sea view to wake up too. Also super easy to join the South West coastal path for even more breathtaking views. Warm showers and clean facilities - it's great!!

Good overall but be careful with those showers.
Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked *Park in the bottom field if you can, the view is absolutely stunning, what a picture to wake up to.
*It does say on the info sheet, that you're given on the way in, that they have a fridge and freezer, doesn't say where though. Luckily, the woman running the food van kindly put our freezer blocks in her freezer overnight.
Disliked The showers are slightly dangerous, be careful! They suddenly run cold (not nice with driving wind blustering through the gaps at the top of the wooden cubicles), and then scolding hot. I don't mean just a bit hot, I love a hot shower, I mean actually scolding where I had to quickly jump away from the water. Inconsistent water temperature overall.
Slightly noisy with some vehicles driving up and down the site at night and early morning.

From the manager: We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the showers. Will and I remain on site all day and would have dealt with this immediately, if you had brought it to our attention.
Regarding the late arrival, we state clearly that we do not accept check in or returning guests after 10pm. - we are a quiet site. Unfortunately , this was ignored by some late arrivals who had not made prior arrangements and we were caught off-guard by this. Thankfully, Will was on site to escort them in.
We do have fridge and freezers available for use at the farmhouse. We also run the food van, and are happy to put smaller items in the fridge for your convenience.
Thank you for your feedback. All the best, Cathy & Will.
Very good and would highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked You'd struggle to find a more beautiful camping spot than this: stunning views right from your tent and just two minutes from the coast path with swimming coves in abundance nearby. The facilities are great with warm showers, toilets, and washing up sinks. The owners are so welcoming and the campsite has a really nice family feel to it. We had a wonderful time!

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked Everything was perfect. Compost toilets very clean and showers great, all with individual gas bottles so no varying temperatures. Food truck serving open most of the day. Short walk to the coast path. Lovely welcoming hosts. No check out time on your departure day. Fab views, what's not to love about it!
