Electric hardstanding and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: A lovely site with lots of thoughtful extras such as power-banks to borrow, a fridge and freezer free to use and hammocks to hang out in. The showers were great and facilities were well thought out. Gweek is just 10 minutes down the hill which is really pretty with an amazing shop and nice pub
Disliked: Maybe the bins and scrap to be reused could be screened away

Electric hardstanding and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely family friendly campsite!
Big pitches, clean facilities, lovely eco friendly products provided (washing up liquid and soap/shampoo in bathrooms). Overall a really great, quiet and friendly site!
Our young kids had a lovely time playing with other children and on the trampoline and slide available, felt very safe. Lovely space with hammocks to relax.
Village has lovely shop, pub, cafe and seal sanctuary, all of which we used and loved.
Thank you very much!
Disliked: The local navy base does do a fair amount of night helicopter flying so take earplugs if you're a light sleeper!

Electric hardstanding and grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Small, peaceful campsite with a brilliant location!
We have 100% found our go-to Cornish Camp and will be back again next year.
Showers, toilets, washing areas kept clean and tidy.
Van on-site with electric which had a fridge, freezer, power banks and emergency kitchen for visitors to use was a fantastic idea.
The hammocks were a big hit with the kids and adults alike!
The owners were very friendly and present each day!
