What customers say
Mill Lane Campsite is praised for its excellent location, just a short, flat walk into Porthleven. Guests frequently highlight the cleanliness and quality of the hot showers, spacious pitches, and the convenience of the on-site pub. While many highlight the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere, some reviews mention the facilities, particularly toilets, as dated and in need of refurbishment. Occasional comments touch on road noise and the shared nature of some facilities with the pub.

10 minute walk to the harbour, so perfect to get onto the coastal paths.

Nice convenient site , clean and spacious
Electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely spacious pitches ! Close
Proximity to the town , about 8 minute walk ! Good pub onsite , hot showers !
Disliked I had a problem when we arrived that I couldn't find the hook up , I said I had booked a electric pitch , the chap didn't seem to bothered as he had got the pitch number right allocated ! I said you need to help and offer some support here , he said he would call
The camp
Manager , turns out we did have a hook up but was too far away for our lead ! Called him
Back and he said we
Could collect an extender from
The bar ! Fair enough , but it seems the bar staff are not informed well
Enough about the campsite , yet it is them that check you in ! Maybe a little more training needed .
This is our 2nd visit and we would come
again , but this was an annoyance after 5 hour plus journey !
Toilets rather a walk from the bottom field , but we had our own which was ok ,
