What customers say
This family-run site is praised for its spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. Located conveniently for exploring Cornwall, it offers a well-stocked farm shop and a pleasant atmosphere. Some guests noted minor issues with shower design and the cost of Wi-Fi, while the proximity to the airport means occasional plane noise. Despite these minor points, many reviewers express a desire to return.

Excellent campsite with great facilities!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly staff, easy check in, great little farm shop and clean shower and toilet block. Great location close to lots of little bays, local pubs and not far from Newquay. Lovely sized pitch and well maintained.
Disliked That we only got to stay for one night! :(

Terrible. Over priced. Facilities unclean
Electric grass pitch
Liked Liked Leaving after only 1 night!
It was good watching the planes.
The farm shop was good.
Disliked We were literally in an unbowed tough field with cow oats at our pitch! Electric hook up wire passed over the hedge! Toilet and shower block were very dirty and shower spray rubbish. For £54 per night I expected much better. By far the worst campsite we have stayed on in Cornwall.

Good location for beaches, close to the airport. Noisy from festival.
Non-electric grass pitch (family)
Liked Close proximity to the beach.
Flat pitch.
Friendly campsite staff.
Pretty fishing lakes.
Disliked Toilet and shower block not cleaned frequently enough.
During Boardmasters Festival, this campsite was used as a base for day ticket holders. There is a shuttle bus to and from the festival from afternoon until the early hours. Whilst I’d expected to hear the music and the airport, I didn’t expect to find people being ill in the toilets morning and night as well as noise through the night. The campsite owners clearly understand this because the first question I was asked was whether I was heading to the festival. They then promoted the shuttle bus which picks up and drops off in the middle of the site. The no noise after 10.30pm rule therefore became a joke.
Moaning aside, the staff were friendly and this is probably a good place at quieter times of the year.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Peaceful campsite, friendly staff and reasonable farm shop. Lovely to have the food van and Barista coffee van onsite most mornings too. Loved walking around the fishing lakes, very beautiful.
Disliked Shower heads need changing as the water sprays in every direction apart from on your head!
Would be really nice to have a map of the site issued on arrival so you know where all the amenities are and which pitch you are on.

Electric grass pitch
Liked We love the family friendly environment. It's relaxed and peaceful. The children loved the freedom and playgrounds. My husband loves the fishing the walk around the lake is very tranquil. The farm shop has everything you need and the staff are helpful and friendly. The local area is naturally beautiful and provide plenty to keep you busy.
Disliked Sadly no wifi during our visit however I think this was an issue relating to a local festival as the qifi had been fine in previous visits.
