What customers say
Lovely spot on the coast, great sea views & stargazing. Spacious, comfy bell tents make for easy glamping. Clean facilities with good water pressure. Staff are super helpful & friendly. Relaxed vibe, close to walks & shops. One mention of a slight price mix-up.

Liked The site is great, with lots of open space, nice views, good facilities. The staff are really friendly, and it’s in a really good location near The Lizard.
Disliked We were there as a family, and were in the bell tent next to an extremely loud group. They were playing music, singing, shouting etc. constantly from about 7pm until almost midnight. We asked them to keep it down a bit but they ignored us, and there’s not much you can do in that situation. This isn’t really the fault of the site, except that if you book a bell tent then you have no control over who you’re next to and they’re close enough together that you’ll hear everything from your neighbours. So if you’re there as a family, or you just like peace and quiet, I’d suggest bringing your own tent so you have a bit of control over who you’re near. There’s a lot of space!

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback! Just to shed a little light on the situation — the noise came from the lovely (and lively) family with 6 children next door. A storm rolled in during their stay, so instead of braving the weather, they bunkered down with board games and some classic family fun. Think less wild party, more Monopoly meltdown.
That said, I didn’t hear anything from you at the time — if I had, I’d have happily stepped in to referee the game (or at least ask them to keep it down). Next time, give me a heads-up while it's happening — I can't fix what I don't know about, and I promise I'm better at handling noise than predicting it!
Appreciate you staying with us, and hopefully next time, the dice (and weather) roll more in your favor.
Reasonable price for a lovely stay.

Liked Bell tent was lovely. Spacious, clean and tidy, comfortable beds, all the plates and cutlery you need, made camping far more luxurious than normal without the hassle of putting the tent up etc. Facilities are fine, washing up area and toilets are functional, showers actually pretty good considering you are in a field! Michelle was really helpful and friendly, lovely place to visit. Will be back!!

Bell tent (four person)
Liked A long list of positives! Michelle has made us feel welcome, and was very helpful. The tent was new, and spotlessly clean, and very well equipped with everything that is needed to cook. A welcome hamper with yummy goodies was a lovely touch. Showers and toilets were close by, clean and comfortable. Best of all, we could see the sea when we unzipped our tent, which was a wonderful experience.
Disliked Nothing at all!
