Mousehole Camping

Likte It was easy book on app. I didn’t actually stay in the end because I couldn’t get any phone signal. The weather was really bad so just wanted to relax and watch a film.

Nice little site so would use again if in the area.

Likte Wir hatten zwei schöne Tage auf diesem Stellplatz und haben uns wohlgefühlt.
Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen.
Die sanitären Anlagen sind ok. Der Weg um den Sportplatz ist machbar und hat uns nicht gestört.
Ideal um Mousehole zu besuchen.
Sind auch zu Fuß am Meer nach Newlyn und Penzance gelaufen.

Likte ikke WLAN hatten wir am Stellplatz keinen, bzw. konnten uns dort nicht einloggen. War für uns aber ok.

Likte Geographical location is good. Pitch is flat.
There's WiFi but it was dripping a lot.

Likte ikke The facilities were not as advertised and fell far below basic hygiene and safety standards. While the listing stated there were toilets and showers, it did not disclose that:

Showers are communal football changing room–style, not individual cubicles. Guests must undress in communal areas and walk naked to showers separated only by mouldy curtains. In the men’s showers, you must cross through other guests’ cubicles, meaning minimal privacy. In the women’s facilities, the main door opens directly to the outside washing-up area, exposing guests, and the changing room itself forces you to walk naked to reach the showers. During my stay, a male maintenance worker was inside the women’s changing/shower area while female guests were present.

Toilets were inadequate. In the clubhouse changing rooms, there was only one ladies’ cubicle (the other was a boiler), while the men’s side had two cubicles plus one extra. A second set of two ladies’ toilets was located elsewhere. The cubicle locks were faulty: a child was able to open the door while I was inside, leaving me exposed.

Cleanliness was unacceptable, with mouldy shower curtains and unkept facilities. The showers themselves were unsafe: no temperature regulation, only push-button control. When I used one at 1 am, the water was scalding hot, peeling skin off my body. My partner also used them and came out looking like a cooked lobster.

The onsite lady was polite but dismissive. When I raised concerns, she said, “you booked through Pitchup, it says what they are,” and refused a refund. This was not a matter of preference, but unsafe, unhygienic, and misrepresented facilities.

I initially blamed myself for not reading the listing properly, but nowhere did it state that you must share showers and walk naked around others. My mother, recently diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer’s, came with me to Cornwall for memories. This trip was meant to be special — and the experience at this campsite ruined part of it.

Oh I nearly forgot the church! The church which will keep you awake every night. It doesn't stop ringing the bells. On 1st night it was going on for ages then BING BANG every hour. Next 2 nights it was only raining every hour since like 10 pm to the morning! like noone has a watch nowadays in this middle ages 👀 so help me Jebus.

Fra bestyreren: Sylwia, thanks for your comments.
We note that you liked the large flat grass pitches and geographical location but were disappointed with the site facilities.
It is clearly outlined in our various websites that the campsite facilities are shared with the football club, a fact that many of our camping visitors happily accept. However, we are well aware that the facilities require updating and we hope that the brand new tarmaced access road now provides the opportunity for the management to improve both the camping and club facilities going forwards.
We apologise that the boiler had to be fixed whilst you were on site but we didn’t want to leave campers with cold or no showers during a busy August period.
As for the church bells, there’s very little that we can do about that. Actually many of our visitors really enjoy the quintessential English nature of our location - the nearby pubs, Mousehole harbour, St Michael’s Mount, the cricket matches and, indeed, the church bells. But, of course, we understand that everyone has different expectations.

Likte Open setting, friendly welcome.

Likte ikke Distance to bathrooms. Arrival instructions weren't clear, still too easy to accidentally drive through village.

Likte The location of the campground was good for visiting Mousehole on foot. The pub in Paul was also very close to the campground. The managers were friendly and informative and kept the actual pitches clean and tidy.

Likte ikke Shower and toilet facilities were inadequate and dated. The $35 per night price was too much for camping there, particularly given the lack of good facilities. Similar campsites attached to sports clubs that we have stayed at, are typically around $22 to $25 per night. This site is not good value for money unfortunately.

With the new tarmaced access road now completed and open we hope that it will provide the opportunity for the club to improve the camping facilities going forwards.
