Rock Bottom Orchard

Likte: Liked that the host met us to show us our pitch and the facilities. The facilities are clean as well, very clean toilet and shower, there were even microwave and kettle for the campers. So was surprised there were only two of us during our stay. The area is safe and close to shops too (10minute drive) to Asda and 15minutes drive to the beach. Well recommended campsite! Thank you to the host, for the safe and lovely stay!

Likte: Amenities and grounds were kept very clean and the area was quiet and secluded which we loved. An easy and quick drive (about 10 mins) to the lovely centre of St Ives and easy connections to other areas. Parking available and owner of land was really welcoming. Hot water showers available which is amazing!

Likte ikke: Only 1 toilet available, owner is working on this though. Absolutely wish I could have brought my dog along but understand this is personal preference for owner of land.

Likte: The location and views are immense… the tipis are very cool and fairly warm in an evening

Likte ikke: Where to start with my review!! One shower and one toilet in a chip board surrounding for the entire site to use so potentially 8 plus people waiting , no sink to wash your hands after using the toilet other than the one in the tiny kitchen area used for washing dishes. All areas are dirty and unkempt .. long grass so wet feet always. No electricity supply to tipis despite being advertised as gas and electric included, electricity consists of 3 plug sockets in the chip board kitchen! Quite unhelpful owner of site, when we questioned the electricity , no hook up, he said can’t have everything… well we actually had nothing!!Tipi not weather proof at all. Rain coming in the top where top cover wasn’t set up correctly and regular visits from local wildlife coming under the side of the tent.No lighting in shower, toilet or kitchen area so every visit after dark needed a torch and a hope that the spiders were sleeping! This should be advertised as wild camping .. as advertised as gas and electric included assuming you have a hook up but you don’t and when we used the owners extension cable to blow up our airbed in the tipi he removed it from site so we had to ring him every time to add air throughout the week. Not worth the money certainly wouldn’t recommend it or ever stay again. The location is the only plus point to this site for the views ..this site needs to be given up as a bad idea!! We left a day early as storms were due overnight and didn’t have the confidence in the tipi withstanding it! So lost 2 days we love cornwall but rock bottom is aptly named and we will never return there

Fra bestyreren: These people gave me bad review because I wouldn't allow them to have electric hookup in Tipi, they became anti-social towards me, there is no hookups to the Tipi's for health and safety reasons, there is two hot showers and two toilets now

Likte: Beautiful view. Nice please. Access to toilet. Kettle. Microwave.

Likte ikke: The toilet and kitchen area needs a good clean. Poor access to bed. Shower and kitchen is too small. Lots of spider webs. Grass under the outside table need to be cut.

Likte: I stayed in the shepherds hut whilst doing a shot course in St Ives July 2023. Campsite was a beautiful haven from a bustling St Ives. Facilities are basic and may take some getting used to (hut made of chip board!) but everything you need is there: fridge/freezer/hot shower/ loo. Graham the owner was very friendly and helpful. I cooked on my campstove on the picnic hence or ate out in town. Beautiful wildlife haven, quiet with lots of wild and bird life and a pigeon called Walter (apparently)

Likte: Lovely views and peaceful field. Only 10mins in car from St Ives.

Likte ikke: Was very hard to find the campsite - especially when dark. The listing says 'showers and toilets' when in fact there is just 1 of each in a chipboard hut which is shared between all of the site. Wasn't very pleasant. Didn't feel the price per night reflected the poor quality facilities. Tiny kitchenette which did have sink/fridge but again shared between the whole campsite and only 1 person could fit in at a time.

Likte: The host was very friendly and gave us a full tour of our areas available. The tipi was impressive and comfortable. More facilities than named on booking (fridge, freezer etc) which were handy. Fresh towels out every few days and toilet roll provided readily. Amazing view over the valley and private area which the tipis are situated in.

Likte ikke: Hard to contact the host for check out (were unable to and had to set off home in the end). Uneven bollard in the ground in the parking bay resulted in us gaining a flat tyre. (We understand things happen but be aware when pulling into a bay as it spans two of three bays). The shower was quite unreliable for heat.
