Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: We had a great stay here! The motorhome pitches are well laid out, offering plenty of space along with water, drainage, and EHU right on the pitch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the site was well maintained.
We didn’t use the toilet block, so we can’t comment on that, but we really liked the ANPR-controlled barrier for easy and secure access.
It’s a shame that the clubhouse suffered storm damage and hasn’t been repaired yet, but this didn’t affect us at all in our self-contained motorhome.
Overall, it’s a fantastic base for exploring Cornwall—great value, a great location, and we’d happily stay again!
Disliked: There are signs all around that say "Dogs must be on a lead at all times" but sadly this is not mentioned on check-in nor enforced.
Be aware of where you are in Cornwall, as there is not a lot on your doorstep, but using your motorhome or car, you are right between Padstow, Wadebridge and Newquay.
