Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Very nice clean pitch and friendly welcome and a great location for a short walk to Mousehole and nice local village Paul. Nice powerful showers as you get to use the local club house.
Disliked: The toilets were quite far away from the pitch.... Wouldn't want to go there at night time, luckily we have a loo in our camper.

From the manager: Hello, Thanks for leaving a review. Glad you liked our site and location . Our toilets aren't the closest unfortunately, however they are open 24/7 and as you say our strong showers and hot water hopefully go someway in making up for this. Kind regards Mousehole Camping

From the manager: Hello, Thanks for leaving us a review. Sounds like our site wasn't for you. We do ask that all customers read our website first to see about our site and facilities as everything is explained clearly on there. As we are a small independent volunteer run campsite we do not provide fully serviced pitches. We do have electricity on site and a chemical toilet emptying point a short walk from the pitches. Kind regards Mousehole Camping

Liked: Rustic but lovely location. Arrived with football game at one side and cricket game on the other. Fantastically friendly staff, very helpful and always happy to chat. Whilst facilities are basic, everything is within a short amble and adds to the feel of the site.
Disliked: The hill through Newlynn to get to the site! Lol!! Really steep.
