What customers say
This well-kept campground boasts amazing ocean views and is a short walk to the beach. Visitors compliment the friendly, helpful staff and the clean, well-equipped washrooms, including showers and toilets. While some pitches were sloped, the overall experience is highly positive. Many recommend it for a peaceful, family getaway. Minor feedback noted is the 50¢ shower fee and occasional Wi-Fi problems.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked Lovely camp site, shop has a wide variety of items! Liked the idea of the pizza place next door ( we didn’t order but it was great to know if we wanted one ) staff were all very friendly, toliet blocks were always very well clean.
Free WiFi also, although was hit and miss with it but then having over 60 pitches I wouldn’t expect any thing else!
Beach just a short walk (10/15mins) away!
Would definitely recommend. We will be back!

Liked Site was lovely clean tidy and very accessible, pitch was huge which is not seen very often so thank you loads for that …. Staff were helpful and friendly, site shop had most bits and bobs you’d need if you’d forgotten anything, they have a pizza takeaway too waiting time were good and pizza was delicious…. 50p for a shower is great no queuing for showers and this was when site was really busy x so close to many places when you wanna go out for the day …. We had a fab dry sunny weekend away and so glad we used this site

Liked The site was lovely not too busy and staff were very helpful. We stopped in a static caravan and had everything we needed. The camping side also had many facilities which looked clean and tidy.
Disliked There was a few spiders in our caravan (i’m petrified) but the staff were happy to help us resolve the problem straight away (with thanks to henry hoover)

Power optional grass campsite
Liked Pizza shop onsite, nice toilets and showers
Disliked Slopey pitches (it is on the description but we couldn’t even it out with our ramps for the van so worth noting).
Quite expensive to say there’s not a lot near by, spent a lot on food, showers, electricity and laundry as it all adds up having to pay.
Noisy at night too even after the 10pm cut off.

From the manager: Thank you for your recent visit
Visiting Cornwall is no Benidorm very much the opposite. It really depends on what you want to do if you want beaches then this is the place there is much to do but it depends on what you want to do.
At Chycarne we have a number of different camping areas to suit all needs Over 50% of all the available pitches are on level ground and the remaining are on a gentle slope.
Now this generally is not an issue for most but we are always happy to offer assistance to help level any unit with exception to tents which is an impossible task at the best.
Now its common knowledge that costs have increased to business and continue to rise
Electricity has seen a huge increase and this would also apply to the laundry but these are optional.
The small charge for showers is reflected in our tariff. Showers are not free here nor are they free at home. There are a lot of costs that have to be met just to have a shower equally we are required to clean the waste water that as been used before it can be discharged safely and this is super expensive. unfortunately Chycarne does not benefit from a mains sewer
Unfortunately there are times when despite all your rules they some how do not always apply to certain individuals They are your noisy brigade. Wardens will always ask any noisy persons to consider other guests and wardens will always do there best but I am afraid this situation is NOT unique to us, it happens just about every where and every campsite to best of my knowledge
Sorry to hear that you spent to much on food but that really is out of our control
Wish you well
Chycarne
Lovely place, good price.they will help you however they can
Power optional grass campsite
Liked Beautiful views, well kept and clean, very accessible. Very friendly owners, we arrived in extreme winds and were struggling to put tent up.the owners/managers put us in a caravan for night, and when we asked if there's a possibility to upgrade to caravan instead they managed to keep us in the same caravan. Very helpful and kind.
