Μου άρεσε: Great location!

Μου άρεσε: Great place to stay! Ian the owner was lovely and had a very fast response and turned up within a few minutes to show us about etc!
we loved all the old military equipment and was lucky enough to stay over a weekend when Ian had an open weekend for his museum there, he even fired some of the old rifles and cannons with blanks which was amazing to see and hear and had a little catering trailer open there for you to buy refreshments etc during the museum opening weekend
the site is in a great location and level ground and well looked after, also very remote and quiet, we have an autistic toddler who is often a bit wild and loud etc, we had no problems here at all in the 17 nights we stayed in the end, nice clean toilet and a hot shower to and fresh drinking water from a tap.

And I certainly wouldn’t let the odd negative review put you off!!

You need to read all the information Ian has provided before booking, as if for his amazing price he charges per night, you expect a clubhouse/bar and all day children’s entertainment and evening entertainment and big children’s play areas etc like the big very exspensive corporate sites, then that’s the only reason I could see anyone be disappointed.

We will certainly be going back in the near future when kids school holidays again as a perfect site for us and very happy with our stay!

Δεν μου άρεσε: That we had to leave and couldn’t live there permanently in a static caravan as such a lovely site

Μου άρεσε: The army memorabilia was unique and took us 2 minutes to look at.

Δεν μου άρεσε: This place confused us. You can't call it a campsite. We didn't stay here. It's a tiny field/green pop-up with a porta loo and a shower in a portaloo that looked like a hazard. More than 3 campers and its going to feel crowded. No one about to tell us where to go or if we were even in the right place. We cut our losses and went to an actual site.

Από τον διαχειριστή: I'm sorry you were disappointed and I missed you on site, I did send you a welcome message with directions when you booked, I'm on site at least 3 times a day and am always available by phone, the toilet and shower are cleaned at least once a day and the shower cubicle although plastic is 3 years old and not a portaloo as you stated.
we are a small site with only one toilet and shower and really don't understand your crowded comment as there was less than 3 pitches occupied while you were there.
I hope you found another site that was more to your liking but expect you payed far more than the £16/night that we charge.
What we offer at our site is clearly stated in our description and photos, many of which were posted by guests.

Μου άρεσε: Location was perfect. Nice and quiet
Easy to get to Lizard point and walking paths.

Από τον διαχειριστή: pleased you enjoyed your stay, was a pleasure to host you and your daughter

Μου άρεσε: 2nd visit; very basic but perfect; clean toilet and shower, what else do you need. Just up the road from the Lizard, on the edge of a nature reserve. Good walking territory! A couple of good beaches nearby, National Trust car park but expensive for a day unless you're a member. Fascinating museum of WW2 stuff run by enthusiasts,,, the best sort of museum. Hope to return again

Μου άρεσε: The grass was mown and the field was flat

Δεν μου άρεσε: No sign; no one on site; very limited facilities; owner texted to say he would be on site the next day to show us how the shower worked, but never showed up.

Από τον διαχειριστή: sorry I missed you but I gave clear directions about where to pitchup, I popped onto site 3 times specifically to see you but you weren't there and texted you the gate code after my 9pm lock up when you were out, the facilties are 1 shower and 1 toilet and rubbish disposal as shown on my advert, both cleaned daily, sorry you found the facilties limited but we are a small rural off grid site and don't pretend to be anything else.

Μου άρεσε: location

Δεν μου άρεσε: weather !

Από τον διαχειριστή: unfortunately we can control the site cleanliness but sadly not the weather, wish we could!

Μου άρεσε: Shower was hot but that's all the positives I have.

Δεν μου άρεσε: WARNING - This is NOT a site for solo female travellers! This is NOT a campsite and should not be on pitchup. This is wild camping with a porta loo and porta shower that you're paying over the odds for. My friend & I both turned up in our campervans being very confused if we were at the correct place as there were no signs and nobody around. I found a junk yard where some guys were working & they said it was the field and laughed about me having to piss in the bush. The owner Ian messaged saying he would be straight with us after he saw us arrive on the field through his camera. 1hr 15mins later he rocks up with no apology. We were desperate for showers but had no idea where they were, only the porta loo dumped by the gate was obvious. The shower was warm but the changing area is shocking with a curtain that doesn't pull across properly so you're exposed. Nowhere to hang or put anything. Fence surrounding shower looks like it's about to collapse.
It's a dumping ground for all his war memorabilia, machinery, rubbish, barbed wire. Walking to the shower there was a piece of wood with 3 nails sticking out just laying on the grass which is seriously dangerous and there's no light at night so there's an accident waiting to happen.
Ian didn't appear to know what the junk yard next door was which we found shocking considering the staff drive through the campsite to access the road and know the gate combination. Ian locked the gate and told us the code but someone from the yard turned up late evening which made us feel uneasy. We almost left at one point as we didn't feel comfortable. Whilst Ian was on site, a large sprinter van with a couple turned up. We asked if anyone else was booked in, praying we'd have others, but they quickly turned round and left. Weirdly the next morning at the Kynance carpark we bumped in to the van couple as they recognised our vans. They said they didn't get a good vibe from the site so left.
I find the good reviews on here absolutely hard to believe, were they staying somewhere else!?! I have kids, the thought of letting them go and play on this dumped scares me.
This site is a field by a busy road, one porta loo, one converted porta loo shower, drinking water.
This review is based on two women staying here alone. This site in my eyes is only useful for motorhomes that have all their own facilities and using it for a quick stop over.
We paid the same price elsewhere for a gorgeous site with excellent facilities and by the coast. They think they can get away with £16pn because its the Lizard.
We both felt unsafe and jumped straight in the vans and locked the doors once it got dark.
This is by far the worst "campsite" I've ever stayed at. If you could choose no stars then I would.

Από τον διαχειριστή: I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay, I'm not sure what you expect for £16/night? Just to park at Kynance car park is £5/day, As for feeling unsafe because you were the only ones on site that night, most of our guests appreciate not being surrounded by lots of other people.
In the site description we tell guests that the site is a growing museum and reccomend that guest bring torches as it gets dark at night, most guests are happy with this and aren't scared of the dark.
We limit visitors to 8 pitches plus the 2 pods, cut the grass once a week and clean the toilet and shower at least once a day. I couldn't make it to greet you when you arrived as I was dealing with a serious family matter, but wish you had communicated your displeasure when I greeted you and I would have refunded your £16 giving you the opertunity to find an alternative site instead of leaving a scathing and frankly malicious review

Μου άρεσε: Was a perfect spot for us, easy access and toilet facilities.
