Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Where do I begin? This campsite is so well thought out. Each pitch is individually placed and flat, with hedgerows inbetween to give privacy. It's a small friendly place, so isn't over crowded. The toilets and showers are very clean and well stocked with soap and loo roll. I love the fact there's so much to do on site, eg giant chess, grumpys pond, giant slip and slide. The food was nice and a very safe feel to the site. We will definitely be booking again for next year!

Disliked Nothing, everything was great.

Ozgur G.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Close to town and well established. Feel like static caravan site more than campsite

Disliked Very very expensive for camping. Road noice.

For campers nothing different from other sites. Toilets washing area and shower.

So very expensive. So that's the reason for the overall score

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Firstly thanks for taking the time to review our site, however we were obviously disappointed at your score of a 5/10. I would recommend if you think a site is too expensive why would you book here in the first place?
Just so others can make an educated and conscientious choice for booking with us in the future we wanted to shed some light on your booking. You have booked a hardstanding electric pitch our most expensive pitch type.
You were on pitch 9 which in total is 18m x 15m making it a total area of 270metres. This pitch has a tarmac drive with a large grassy area, which has private hedges to three sides, making it secluded, sunny and spacious, giving you a wonderful site for you holiday.
You booked on the August bank holiday weekend which is arguably Cornwall’s busiest weekend of the year and therefore the most expensive for any campsites, hotels or accommodations in the county.
We always look at the price of other sites when we agree nightly tariffs and we are very competitive and actually up to £50 per night cheaper than some other sites in Cornwall for this weekend. What you have to realise is as a campsite we receive 65% of the total money paid after the VAT and booking commission, minimum wages have gone up, tax’s are high and rates are through the roof so we keep our prices as competitive as we can with smaller margins.
I also wanted to address your comments as nothing different to other campsites –
-All of our pitches offer privacy with hedging
-We have two large shower blocks with unlimited hot water, baby changing, family changing areas, disabled facilities, information room, laundry room, Wi-Fi seating room etc
-We have a beautiful pond area with fishing, wildlife and magical fairy doors to find.
-We have an onsite shop and café/takeaway serving yummy local produce that is open every day in August from 8am-8pm
-We host free events such as live music, story telling by professionals around a large campfire, family treasure hunts, quiz evenings and guided walks.
-We have a range of pitches and accommodations from self catering lodges to Glamping.
-The site has its own 100metre slip and slide which is open every day in August.
-We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and giving the best site introductions with informative talks about the site and local area.
-We ensure our site has the cleanest toilets and even provide 3 ply toilets paper at all times.

We could go on but we are extremely proud of our site and think we offer excellent value and service for money on the whole, especially when you consider inflation and rising costs as in the UK over the last few years.
I go back to my original comment; why book somewhere if you think it’s too expensive in the first place; I would suggest we are not the right campsite for you and please do not book with us again finding a more suitable site for your budget. Thank you.

Stuart W.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The whole campsite is wonderfully laid out with quite little areas. You almost don't know anybody else is there. The pitches are flat and the team of super helpful.

Loved the water slide for the kids and adults alike.

Walkable to the beach or a cheap taxi, but plenty of beaches in the area.

You could walk to eden project if you like a hike, but only 5 mins in the car too.

The facilities were well managed and kept clean, warm showers and even a kettle which was handy as I ran out of gaz.
Also never far from any pitch.

A real gem of a campsite and next time I'm in the area I will stay here again.

And try their, own grown apples, cider. It's very nice!

Our little old orange VW campervan was very happy in the shade of pitch 1.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great location. Quiet and lovely site. Friendly and very helpful staff. Facilities. Slip and slide was great fun. Activities for the children were great. Great to have a campfire. Really friendly people who have seasonal pitches on site, Our neighbour (Stan) was the best!!

Disliked Pitch was on a very very slight slope which we couldn’t tell at any other time apart from laying in bed and you could just notice it.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Local attractions

To the sands! Local beach Shorthorn is a popular (but uncrowded) place for families, with over a mile of sand, a kids' play area and safe waters for fishing and swimming. The South West Coast Path runs past the beach for hikes east to Par or west to Porthpean. Other seaside spots very much worth a visit in the area include the harbours of Charlestown, five minutes' drive from the farm, Fowey within 15 and the fishing port of Mevagissey within 20. Townwise, sample more Cornish pasties as well as a Cornish cider or two at Falmouth (55 minutes), also home to independent shops, the National Maritime Museum and boat trips on the River Fal. Heading further north, it's 35 minutes' drive from the farm to access the flat and traffic-free Camel Trail at Wadebridge, running for 14 miles to Padstow via ancient Bodmin, and 35 minutes to the waves and surf schools of Newquay. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are within 25 minutes' drive away.
