Absolutely love this campsite. Views for days and a host who is just the kindest. A short walk down the coastal path to the beach of porthcothan bay (the best beach in Cornwall in my opinion!)
The showers are warm and free!
The loos are composting loos which is fine and they are meticulously clean.

It’s a site that’s quite open to the elements which shouldn’t put you off but just consider where you are pitching as there are plenty of more sheltered pogs on the site that you can choose.

I’ve stayed here twice in the space of three weeks so think that says a lot. Location is great if you like your walks. Several bays/beaches to visit all within walking distance depending how far you want to walk and this being a Clifftop campsite the views are stunning …. Just wait for the sunset!

There’s a choice of two fields, one teetering on the edge of the cliff and the main field of your not so brave.

There are three showers and 6 compost loos.

If you’re addicted to your phone, you will need to bring a book ! Not much signal here.

Jeff the owner can offer tips and advice on the area if you’re stuck and runs a great campsite friendly and happy, he makes sure all facilities are clean several times a day.

Jeff was very helpful and personable. There was lots of space available (even though everyone pitched around the edge of the site). Good showers and the toilets were cleaned regularly. Fantastic views particularly at sunset. Brilliant coastal walks in either direction from the campsite. Very good for dogs and close to stunning Porthcothan beach.

The washing up facilities only had cold water. Hot water would have made this site perfect.

This was our first trip to Porthcothan Clifftop Camping and we had a fantastic time! The views are breathtaking, the site really is located directly on top of the dramatic cliffs of the north coast of Cornwall. The facilities were more on the rustic end and include compost toilets and warm showers which suited us just fine with ample drinking water stations and sinks for washing up. The vibe in the site is super chilled with everyone being respectful of noise and plenty of space to spread out. The site is located with direct access to the South West Coast Path and has multiple beaches within comfortable walking distance great for swimming and surfing. The site was dog friendly and our Border Terrier had a fantastic time! Lastly and for us most importantly was the quality of customer service, the owner Jeff who runs the campsite was an absolute legend... Jeff did everything he could to make our stay enjoyable, he went above and beyond on multiple occasions to make sure we had what we needed and we could see him doing the same for others, thanks Jeff! All in all we would highly recommend Pothcothan Clifftop Camping.

Nothing

Excellent warm welcome from Jeff.
I was looking for (and very much enjoy) no frills camping. If that's your thing then this was perfect.
I had a hot shower every day.
The spotless toilets filled every requirement. (I would caution against looking down but who spends their life looking down the loo!)
The location was outstanding as I was walking the SW coast path and could reach it in less than a minute from my tent.
I could see and hear the sea from my pitch. A short walk let me experience the waves beating against the cliffs - something I love to do.
The site was a mere 5 minute stroll to the Porthcothan beach but the delights of many other beaches were but a good walk away.
