Military Pod Camping

Liked Liked everything about this site. Firstly ease of communication, Ian answered the phone straight away when I called. Super friendly and so helpful. Even showed me and my son around the museum on what probably should of been his day off ! (Sunday)
This site has everything you need at an incredibly reasonable price. Sad to read the negative review below. Someone clearly didn't see the point and the work / passion involved in keeping the history of this place alive so we can all learn about it. Plus these people are volunteers !!! Location is great for exploring all around the lizard area. Highly recommend staying here. Shower and toilet spotlessly clean. Shower was lovely and hot. We loved it. Thank you Ian we appreciated your time !

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review, I'm always pleased to hear that guests enjoyed their stay.

Liked Super well maintained campsite. Ian does a great job keeping the place clean and tidy. Super interesting location with lots of history. This campsite is great for anyone looking to explore the lizard and I highly recommend this campsite if you are interested in local military history. Ian is a wealth of knowledge and you can tell he is very passionate about his site. Thank you Ian for another great stay.

Liked The pod has everything you need for a glamping adventure including a lovely warm shower and your own private toilet.

Ian was so helpful and gave us a behind the scenes tour of the museum when we arrived.

We loved how quiet the area was, there was other campers on site but we were tucked away and wouldn’t have even known they were there

Liked Great place to stay! Ian the owner was lovely and had a very fast response and turned up within a few minutes to show us about etc!
we loved all the old military equipment and was lucky enough to stay over a weekend when Ian had an open weekend for his museum there, he even fired some of the old rifles and cannons with blanks which was amazing to see and hear and had a little catering trailer open there for you to buy refreshments etc during the museum opening weekend
the site is in a great location and level ground and well looked after, also very remote and quiet, we have an autistic toddler who is often a bit wild and loud etc, we had no problems here at all in the 17 nights we stayed in the end, nice clean toilet and a hot shower to and fresh drinking water from a tap.

And I certainly wouldn’t let the odd negative review put you off!!

You need to read all the information Ian has provided before booking, as if for his amazing price he charges per night, you expect a clubhouse/bar and all day children’s entertainment and evening entertainment and big children’s play areas etc like the big very exspensive corporate sites, then that’s the only reason I could see anyone be disappointed.

We will certainly be going back in the near future when kids school holidays again as a perfect site for us and very happy with our stay!

Disliked That we had to leave and couldn’t live there permanently in a static caravan as such a lovely site

Liked The army memorabilia was unique and took us 2 minutes to look at.

Disliked This place confused us. You can't call it a campsite. We didn't stay here. It's a tiny field/green pop-up with a porta loo and a shower in a portaloo that looked like a hazard. More than 3 campers and its going to feel crowded. No one about to tell us where to go or if we were even in the right place. We cut our losses and went to an actual site.

From the manager: I'm sorry you were disappointed and I missed you on site, I did send you a welcome message with directions when you booked, I'm on site at least 3 times a day and am always available by phone, the toilet and shower are cleaned at least once a day and the shower cubicle although plastic is 3 years old and not a portaloo as you stated.
we are a small site with only one toilet and shower and really don't understand your crowded comment as there was less than 3 pitches occupied while you were there.
I hope you found another site that was more to your liking but expect you payed far more than the £16/night that we charge.
What we offer at our site is clearly stated in our description and photos, many of which were posted by guests.

Liked Location was perfect. Nice and quiet
Easy to get to Lizard point and walking paths.

From the manager: pleased you enjoyed your stay, was a pleasure to host you and your daughter

Liked 2nd visit; very basic but perfect; clean toilet and shower, what else do you need. Just up the road from the Lizard, on the edge of a nature reserve. Good walking territory! A couple of good beaches nearby, National Trust car park but expensive for a day unless you're a member. Fascinating museum of WW2 stuff run by enthusiasts,,, the best sort of museum. Hope to return again
