What customers say
A pristine, well-kept campsite with great, level pitches and helpful staff. Washrooms are spotless with hot water. Perfect base for Cornwall's stunning coast. Wi-Fi can be spotty, drainage issues noted. Worth a return trip.

Will not go back.
Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Large pitch and wardens very nice.
Disliked No bar as promised, when it should have been open it was not.
We did have a large pitch but was rough, next doors was like a ploughed field.
The site is just set up to sell park homes.
They advertise a shop but nothing in it.
The men's toilets had 3 wc , but one was permanently out of order, so when it was busy, not good and not that clean.

A good weeks holiday. And would recommend the site.
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked The site was nice and the amenities were nice and clean.
Disliked The cafe bar was never open when the sign on the door said it should be. In fact even when the staff were asked when it opened it still did not.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Really nice location with a lot going for it.
The site overall has potential and could be excellent with the right improvements.
Disliked The toilet block is in need of a complete overhaul. At times there was a strong smell of urine, and the layout would benefit from better separation of urinals and showers.
A lot of people staying in holiday homes and chalets were using the toilets and showers. With only three loos available (and one out of service during our stay), the facilities were overstretched. These should ideally be reserved for campers and touring caravans.
The bar area was often very loud around 1am. The disappointing part was that the noise often seemed to come more from site staff than from paying guests.
Overall, the site clearly needs some money invested into its facilities to bring it up to standard.

A good 3 night stay, had a great time and very lucky with weather.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Location was excellent, close to Padstow and several brilliant beaches.
Had a good bar on site and Showers and toilets kept in clean condition.
Pitches were ok and didn't feel cramped together,
Disliked WiFi was poor, and had t pay extra, not a huge cost but still feel it's wrong in 2025
