Military Pod Camping

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

From the manager: Thanks for your booking, pleased to hear you enjoyed your return visit, hopefully see you again.

Liked The grass was mown and the field was flat

Disliked No sign; no one on site; very limited facilities; owner texted to say he would be on site the next day to show us how the shower worked, but never showed up.

From the manager: sorry I missed you but I gave clear directions about where to pitchup, I popped onto site 3 times specifically to see you but you weren't there and texted you the gate code after my 9pm lock up when you were out, the facilties are 1 shower and 1 toilet and rubbish disposal as shown on my advert, both cleaned daily, sorry you found the facilties limited but we are a small rural off grid site and don't pretend to be anything else.
