Liked: Great location.
Disliked: Very very run down site.
Caravans all broken all over the place.
No heating in the very old showers.
Lots of people living on the site full time.
Person that checked us in was very unhelpful, there's the field park anywhere. No site info, no real greeting.
Such a shame as could be a wonderful place.

Liked: It was good watching the planes and stuff. It was good for a parkup.
Disliked: After I'd paid, I was informed showers and toilets were closed.. not a problem for me but could have been an inconvenience for some. Field has a few piles of scrap round the edges and didn't feel particularly secure. Only 3 others in the field.

Liked: All the staff that we met were fantastic and very welcoming.
Loved being so close to the coast path for some fantastic walks along the coastline.
Enjoyed the fact we just parked up in the field and enjoyed watching the small planes and parachuters. We were self sufficient so were more than ok with the basic facilities, as we never feel we need anything flash. We just loved being outdoors and were so fortunate to have super weather in October.
We hope to go again.

Liked: I don’t know where to begin how amazed I was with this place! We arrived quite late (8pm ish) we checked in pretty quickly & was told we could pick a spot anywhere. The gentleman was lovely. He told us that 3 people were about to land (jumping from a plane) it was one of the most amazing things I’ve seen with the most gorgeous views !! The kids played on the play park until it went dark & we then had a bbq on our pitch & star gazed until late. We all had a good nights sleep and slept til late morning. We went across the cafe for breakfast & got told we could check out whenever we were ready (I was worried it was 12pm as we didn’t wake up til 11am) the breakfast was lovely & the staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate our fussy eaters. Absolutely amazing stay at a fab price & just an amazing place doing great things!!
Disliked: Cannot fault this place at all!

Liked: Smashing site. Level. It is based at Perranporth Airfield which is really busy! We spent all day watching parachute jumping, planes taking off and landing, and microlights taking off and landing. There is a bar onsite which does snacks. The staff are really friendly. The only thing that lets it down is the showers and toilets. They were really run down I'm sorry to say, hence only 4 stars. Apart from that, loved it!
Disliked: Showers and toilets weren't brilliant.
