What customers say
Lovely, peaceful family campsite with helpful owners. Clean facilities, spacious pitches, great for exploring Cornwall. Naval airbase noise occasionally mentioned, minor pitch levelling/dog area notes. Ideal for a quiet break.

Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Lovely small site, with everything you could possibly need. Cute small shop onsite with coffees and cakes. I saw a few reviews in regards to the showers being annoying because of the push to start and not lasting long but this really isn’t an issue at all, it takes literally a push to come back on, it’s hardly much effort. They’re nice and warm and do their job just fine. All other amenities are within a 10min drive (if that), beautiful beaches/harbours all a short drive away too. Can’t wait to return.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Highly recommended, would definitely return.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely campsite with a friendly, helpful and welcoming owners/staff.
The site is very well kept, nice layout and very peaceful. Short drive to Church Cove beach.
Little shop selling the essentials is most useful.
The toilets and shower block was impeccably clean and modern, fantastic showers, we've been to hotels that wouldn't rival these facilities!
Loved being able to have a barbecue and fire pit next to the campervan.
Even though we only live half an hour away, it was lovely to have a couple of relaxing evenings away from home.
Disliked Nothing.

Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Stayed here 4 nights, I. Amped and book a pitch with power. The campsite is in a great location 3 beaches within couple of miles.
The facilities were first class, great showers and loo’s, separate pot was area with lovely hot water.
The owner was very accommodating, lots of local knowledge, especially when it comes to choosing a beach. She makes a great cappuccino, bakes pastries too, what more could you want, apart from those last minute items that you might have forgotten to pack!!
Overall a great stay the pick was very roomy, nice and flat too.
Disliked WiFi could be have a stronger reach for where I was located, but I would think 70% of guests would have had great WiFi. Bit unlucky with the weather!! Just my luck!

Great little site
Anonymous Electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Clean friendly and plenty of space without being a big open field.
Secure dog exercise field was a great touch.
Disliked Shower push buttons are only about 10 seconds, a bit annoying having to keep pushing them

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Family run business if i do not mistake, small, peaceful, good showers, clean toilets, nice beautiful respectful people, great prices for logs and barbecue or firepits (do not do mistake to buy from somewhere else as i did ... without asking first), great coffee. Location is great for Kynance Cove and other places. Thank you.
