What customers say
This neat site has private, hedge-lined pitches with great country views. Reviews rave about the spotless facilities, hot showers, and super-friendly owners, Amy & Roger. Perfect Cornwall base. A few noted site signs could be better, and some missed a small shop.

Ps. Thank you very much for the treats you left for us - I tucked in the afternoon and they are delicious and much appreciated - a very sweet gesture :-)
Picturesque site perfect for a calm camping trip.
Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Amy was just delightful along with the site manager (sorry I forgot his name) both were very happy to help.
Each pitch was positioned with a truly picturesque background of fields and farmland.
All pitches are within there own hedged area creating private areas and musk any noise from neighbours.
Toilets were always clean with real showers (not the push for 5 seconds of water flow) family showers were available with spacious room to change, including places to sit down.
Fire pits were available to hire and were cleaned out each morning along with a fresh water fire bucket provided. This was at an extremely reasonable price.
Thank you for a wonderful week in a beautiful setting. Situated in a great postcode close to beaches and the stunning sites that Cornwall has to offer.
Would happily return tomorrow if it was a possibility.
