Electric grass pitch
Liked: We loved staying at Stithians lake campsite.
We had a fantastic view of the lake from our camper van pitch and all the facilities were very close to us.
The showers and toilets were spotless.
Also the cafe is a lovely place to go and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
It was very quiet at night.
Also a great pub only 2 minutes walk from the site.
My partner had a wing foiling lesson with Finn who was a great, enthusiastic and patient instructor.
We will definitely stay again.
Disliked: We had to go home 😂

Electric grass pitch
Liked: I loved how thought out the pitches were. There is the pitch for your tent with clearly marked signs, then a separate spot for the car, which was helpful, not having to worry about having room to park next to our tent. Electric points were in good reach of the pitch as well as the water supply. The facilities were well maintained and I liked that they were coded so that they were purely for camping guests (although after a week, I’d had enough of having to put a code in to have a wee haha not a complaint though!)
I really liked that the facilities had everything in one room - toilet, sink & shower all in 1 cubicle like a wet room - made it so much easier. They are self contained and whilst we were there, they were always clean.
Good facilities with the washing machine (£4), freezer and plenty of washing up spaces so you were never waiting.
The guys in the reception were super friendly, polite and helpful and generally, we had a good feel about the place.
The camp site is great central location to get to many different places in Cornwall, which we loved.
Disliked: Being really picky because we’ve had a great week, but depending what pitch you’re on, it’s a bit of a walk to the toilet/showers due to the fence.
It also took us a while to figure out where the bins were, which was also a bit of a walk. Again, being incredibly picky.
There was also no WiFi. First world problems I know, but signal was extremely limited so it would have been a nice added extra.
