Liked: Best campsite I ever been... James was a fantastic host. The cleanliness of the facilities was really astonishing! We were given a fantastic spot, and James was always there for any queries. Thank you so much! We had a really nice holiday on your site and plan to visit you again next time we are in St. Merryn. Our week holiday was amazing! We have really good memories!

Liked: We had a great stay! The site was clean, spacious and the toilet and shower facilities were very clean and perfect for our camping trip!
It was our daughter’s first proper camping experience and she was sad to leave!
Great location too! We’ll definitely be back!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: It was an immaculately clean campsite. A great location with walks to lots of food places, restaurants, a shop and beaches.
Very peaceful at night, not one for those who like to stay up late with a campfire.
Helpful owner, great communication
Disliked: Nothing, but I suppose for some people it might be too basic?

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Very friendly hosts!
Disliked: The showers are scaldingly hot, I think they need to be adjusted. You do have to drove to get to anywhere really as the roads are a bit dangerous to walk.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: A lovely well kept little site. Pitches are very big and not overcrowded. Facilities are basic (hot shower, flushable toilets, cold water sink, grey water area) and very clean. If you want all the bells and whistles this isn’t for you. This is camping as it used to be. Plenty of space for the kids to play. James is very accomodating and keeps the site spotless.
