What customers say

Great spot, short walk to Lizard village & Kynance Cove. Friendly staff, big pitches, decent facilities. Good value, basic camping. Some say showers are few for the size, and grass is long sometimes. Mostly positive, people want to come back.

Sam H.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (XL)

Liked Location is amazing. Very close to lizard and about a 40 minute walk down to Kynance cove. Pitch was a good size as well.

Disliked There were often long waits for both the showers and washing up facilities. There appeared to be too many pitches for the facilities available. This was worse over the weekend when the campsite was still advertising availability but, in my opinion, the facilities were not adequate for the number of pitches that they made available.

Zoi L.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fab location near Kynance yep I'll give them that!

Disliked I can barely be bothered to write this, but people deserve a warning: this is one of the worst campsites I’ve ever stayed on.
The owner is sometimes described as “quirky.” I’d go with “eccentric bordering on chaotic.” When I arrived, the reception hut looked like it had been assembled from scrap wood and good intentions. The staff didn’t seem to know who was “dealing with me.” One assured me they’d just had a delivery of firewood. Moments later, the owner bustled in and, without missing a beat, announced, “We do that in the evening,” before juggling my registration, a phone call, misplaced staff, and a running commentary on her broken shower boiler. Directions to my pitch were scattered among throwaway remarks like, “There’s a shower over there, but that’s the one with the broken boiler.”
After setting up camp, I went back to pay for the firewood, plus a pit and firelighters (£8 for the wood, £15 total). The staff member carefully noted the order and asked the owner when it would be delivered. Her answer was that she wanted to say 6:30, but didn’t really know. Confidence-inspiring.
By 7:30, no sign of wood. Then I saw her driving past in a caddy and thought, finally!—only to watch her deliver wood to other pitches. When I waved her down, she apologised she knew I’d been waiting all day but the information had somehow been lost. She returned with my delivery: a huge, firepit, firelighters, kindling, and an old fraying bag of mouldy logs, pulled from the back of a van stuffed with random junk, including a sawdust-covered mattress she brushed off mid-conversation. The firepit was full of ash, a burnt beer can, and a broken clothes peg. The wood—some black, some dotted with white fungus—wouldn’t burn no matter how much kindling I used.
When I pointed this out, she dismissed it, suggested I choose my own logs from a trailer full of the same mouldy wood. When I refused, she insisted the wood wasn’t the problem. When I said okay and walked off, she sent her boyfriend to chase me down with a refund — whilst he insisted that “no one else has had a problem.”
Facilities? Grim. Old, grubby toilets, one shower for dozens of pitches, and signs telling you water is precious and to shower in under five minutes. I didn’t risk it.
I left at 10 a.m. the next morning, left a refund request with staff, and emailed the owner. Six days later: silence.
I’ve stayed at wonderfully run campsites nearby with clean facilities and proper kiln-dried wood. This one felt like a live-action test of how much incompetence a camper can endure before packing up.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The owners were very friendly and enthusiastic , the site had good showers and toilets and the pitches were a good size.

Disliked The walk to Kynance cove is quite long and steep, would struggle carrying a board down.

Local attractions

This is a splendid area for getting out into the open air of course, and there are some very fine Cornish corners within walking distance of this site – during your time here it’s very much worth making the trip to Church Cove (25 minutes’ walk), Pentreath beach (half an hour) and Kynance Cove (50 minutes). For more outdoor activities, have a chat with the folk at Lizard Adventure (15 minutes’ walk) who can organise watersports and climbing. While the natural landscapes around here are excellent, there are also some fine views to be had at some of the local gardens, including the lovely lakes at Bonython Estate Gardens (10 minutes’ drive) and the National Trust’s seaside estate at Glendurgan Garden (35 minutes). For other days out, have a wander around a classic Cornish fishing village at Cadgwith (five minutes), meet cute critters at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (20 minutes) or have a fun family day out at Flambards Theme Park (20 minutes), which has all sorts of rides as well as history-themed attractions to explore.
