What customers say
Pitches generally large, level, clean & well-kept, with guests loving the quiet & countryside views. Staff friendly & helpful. However, many note toilet/shower blocks needing a spruce-up, some dated/worn. Advertised shop/cafe closed or run-down noted by several.

Lovely simple campsite, grass like carpet…
Powered grass tent site
Liked Lovely simple campsite, grass like carpet - never walked on anything like it. Staff were friendly, constantly working to keep the campsite clean and tidy. It’s a quiet from 11pm rule, during our short stay never had any issues with this. I didn’t have my kids on this stay but I know they would have loved the park.
Great location, it’s 2 miles from st Ives and 6 from Penzance, another 1.5 to mousehole.
Disliked This isn’t a reflection of the campsite but there was a young couple across the field who didn’t keep to any of the rules with keeping dog on a lead. The dog had no recall and they didn’t have much control over it. Rightly or wrongly we chose not to report it as it would have been obvious it was us and we didn’t want the confrontation. It won’t stop us going back, I’d definitely return to this site.

Powered grass site
Liked Wonderful helpful staff (Harry was very welcoming), and beautiful camping site in a beautiful location, so close to St Ives town centre/beaches. What more can you ask for.
We will be back again next summer :)

Fantastic site.. excellent facilities, well kept grounds, peaceful 👍

Liked It was our first time visiting Cornwall, it’s beautiful and we will definitely come back again.
The campsite was fantastic. When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome, and guided to our pitch.
There is a lovely park for the kids to play, which really helps when you arrive. It gave us time to get our tents up and organised.
The facilities were great, the showers and toilets were kept very clean. The wash room was excellent, with many washers and dryers. There is a fridge and freazer, iron and ironing boards.
I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking to visit Cornwall.

Overpriced, badly managed, dirty site. Shame as it has potential.
Powered grass site (large)
Liked Location is good, taxi into St Ives is between £8.50 and £12.50 depending on who you get.
Disliked Showers and toilets were very dated and in desperate need of being replaced. There were some very stinky rooms on the way to the showers too.
Ladies shower and toilet area also had a man in the bathroom brushing his teeth! I suspect because they are poorly signed and men are allowed to use the first 3 cubical but aren’t supposed to go beyond that. All very bizarre really!
Lots of noise on the site and nobody stopping it, despite the rules saying no loud music.
Kids running ferral everywhere - again nobody doing anything about it
Drinking water access tap being used by a group opposite who left it filthy and used it to wash up with. Again nobody doing anything to stop it.
Staff pretty much absent from the site hence it being a free for all.
The cafe room is actually a teeny run down garden shed that was never open.

Very basic and run down charging a top price
Powered grass site (large)
Liked Pitch was a good size and nice and level
Disliked No hot water for washing dishes. Saw 1 member of staff for 2 mins when checked in, didn't see any staff over the 3 days. Very run down looked like a ghost town. Minimum stay of 3 nights charging what you would expect to pay for somewhere offering full amenities. Prices should be adjusted to reflect the basic site and standards
