What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful, back-to-basics experience with spacious pitches and beautiful rural views. Visitors praise the friendly and exceptionally helpful owner, Richard, who actively maintains the clean portaloos and showers. While facilities are described as basic, they are well-kept. The location is convenient for local attractions like the Eden Project, and its quiet atmosphere is ideal for stargazing and nature lovers. Some mention narrow access roads and occasionally inconsistent shower temperatures, but overall, the value for money and relaxed atmosphere are highly recommended.

Book it, you'll love the laid back feeling of the site and area
Electric grass pitch
Liked Spacious well maintained large pitches to the right hand side for EHU. Lovely hot showers and plenty of toilets dotted around the site. Large open field for kids and family to play (Fly kites, football, rounders, cricket and more). Very friendly atmosphere and Richard was superb when we requested some firewood it was with us within 20mins and at £5 a crate was great value for the night fire for marshmallows and cooking our locally sourced sausages, steak and chicken from the butchers in St Austell. Easy access from site to Helman Tor which is visible from site and ventures into Looe, Polperro, St Ives, Newquay. Lost Gardens of Halligan are a must visit with lots to see and do and a very affordable family day out. We can't wait to plan our next visit at The Camping Field, Thank You Richard.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Really lovely place tucked away in the central point of Cornwall. I really loved this peaceful spot. I felt safe as a single traveller. The toilets and showers were very clean. The owner is a very lovely and helpful guy too. I will definitely come back to this place and recommend it to my friends. I was very grateful for the cost per night especially when you travel on a budget. Thank you so much!
