Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (large, wild)
Liked: Views, facilities, space & quietness. Nice community feel, lots of events on. Big wild field to camp in. Nice mains toilets and showers, hot water. Extra compost toilets near camping for a back up option.
Disliked: Further from the sea/beach than expected. Long and steep walk. Wasn't sure which water was for drinking as not labelled.

Assigned primitive grass tent or RV campsite (large)
Liked: The park is so lovely, it is beautifully well kept and the views are stunning. There are so many nice touches that the kids loved, including the willow mazes and the amphitheatre. The cafe sells really lovely and healthy food and we loved the open barn bar area. The park felt really quiet and peaceful. We have a 2 & 5 year old and the walk down to Porthtowan was completely manageable, although they are small paths through heathland so not buggy friendly if you'd need that. We've been to Porthtowan camping for years and only just discovered this campsite, which we are gutted about as we wished we had stayed sooner but we will definitely be back!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (large, wild)
Liked: Beautiful site with access on foot to the beach. Great location.
Disliked: Lots of dogs not on leads so found a few dog poo’s, obviously not great with young children running around. One dog even came into our van and stole some food! Showers are awful, dirty, poor drainage so water spilled everywhere and often no hot water at all making it difficult to wash kids hair etc

Assigned primitive grass tent or RV campsite (large)
Liked: Nice large pitches, the numbered ones for campers have some great views but we would've been equally happy in the free range wild camping half of the site. Very cool site to wander around. The summer markets were happening the Sunday morning, music event the Saturday night which we thought might be disruptive but you could hardly hear it from our pitch right behind the amphitheater. Didn't speak to anyone from the park itself during our stay - but there were a few things going on over the weekend which would have taken their time . We liked that they trust you to just find your pitch, enjoy your stay and leave again (some sites the management seem to want to check up on you constantly). Would recommend and we would stay again.

Beacon shepherd's hut (four person)
Liked: Fantastic location with view of the sea and lots of rabbits and birds. We were in the Beacon hut which had a lovely space around it - fire pit and picnic table and was well laid out. Great location for the coast path.
Disliked: Remember to bring a torch!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (large, wild)
Liked: Very relaxed. Like being able to park wherever, loved the hubbub of the wedding going on too.
Disliked: Almost too relaxed! We didn't see a single member of staff the entire stay! Which was fine for us but just from the campsite's point of view, we could have literally just rocked up and stayed three days and not paid. Also, shower very temperamental.
