Overall great location with good showers/ Washing up needs improvement
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Close to town centre. Easy to find and easy check in. Showers lovely and hot with good water pressure. Proper cubicles - no grotty shower curtains! Toilets clean and well stocked with loo roll. Lovely vanity area with plug sockets for hairdryer/hairstyling
Disliked No hot water at washing up station. No recycling bins. Shower/toilets a little dated but clean and well stocked.

Lovely location,clean facilities,staff was helpful on arrival
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Very conveniently located close to porthleven,just a short walk into the village,we upgraded to a hardstanding pitch as it was a bit further away from the road,facilities were basic but clean,would definitely use again
Disliked Nothing really to dislike other than maybe at busier times there might nit be adequate toilets

Great location for town and beach, level pitches, plentiful hot water!
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Location, close to town (next to main road but quiet at night) level grass pitch, plentiful hot water in spacious shower and washing up stand. Clean facilities, great communication, relaxed vibe. Wifi at pitch
Disliked Nothing, only that if the campsite was full, the facilities may struggle to cope with demand, particular as no wash basins outside toilet cubicles (that I found!)

Miss opportunity – great location, grim facilities.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Proximity to Porthleven and wifi
Disliked We felt this campsite was extortionate for the rather grim state of the toilet and washing facilities. The toilets and shower blocks were very tired and although we saw the cleaner just didn’t feel clean. The fact there was no outdoor hot water to wash up with was extremely disappointing. We felt this site was a missed opportunity – unfortunately we won’t be back because of the state of the facilities and cost of a pitch. Shame as the location is good.
