What customers say
A neat, clean spot with really friendly, helpful staff. Guests loved the facilities, especially the warm, spotless showers and the tasty food and drinks. The quiet vibe and good location for exploring were big pluses. Just a heads-up on possible Wi-Fi fees and a few pitches needing a bit of work.

Disliked 1 little spoiler:
Took my 6yr old daughter to toilet and got told off by a worker/cleaner that I wasn't allowed to do this.
It was just myself & daughter on a camping trip
Tried to ask him if he worked there and he was very cagey. But was cleaning/wiping showers down so I presume he did work there
Made my daughter feel like scared! He wasn't pleasant!

Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Campsite was in a lovely location and the site was lovely, kids park was brilliant
Disliked The toilets could have been cleaner, but I do think this was down to a few teenagers that kept messing about in them and blocking the sinks and toilets with ripped up leaflets. The pitches were a little close together for tents, only half of them were taken and I think if the fields was fully booked I can imagine it would have been a bit cramped.

Best site stayed at on our tour of Cornwall and Devon
Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding touring pitch (premium)
Liked Lovely quiet site, large field to exercise the dog. More importantly the welcome we received was second to none and bar staff very welcoming too.
Disliked Was a bit to close to road, but had a hedge between that did softened the noise a bit.

Kids were running riot in the play area till midnight.
Electric grass tent pitch
Liked Staff and facilities,especially having your services by your pitch rather on the other side of the site!
Disliked The ludicrous decision to place a Childrens play area within 30 mts of people's Tents! One afternoon an adult and a few kids were playing Football within a few metres of Campers Tents, inc mine!. Out of my 4 nights stay the play area was being used until around 10.00pm every night, then on my last night they were being rowdy until midnight. I informed reception staff on my departure and was assured that my complaint will be taken on board, where i suggested that the play area should be gated and locked at 9.00pm, also another suggestion would be to inform the "PARENTS" on check-in that kids are not allowed in the play area after 9.00pm.

Good facilities, very friendly and helpful staff, will use again.
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Staff were very friendly and helpful, shower block was clean with plenty of hot water.
Bar/restaurant more than adequate for our needs with good freshly cooked food. Level pitches.
Disliked Quite a few thistles growing up through gravel on pitch (but only took about 10mins to pull up using claw hammer.
Please can someone explain why there is a fee to bring a small car towed behind a motorhome but using a car to tow a caravan there is no fee, a motorhome or caravan stays on site for the duration of holiday and a car is used for days out, so what's the difference??
