What customers say
This well-kept campsite gets top marks for great facilities like family washrooms and a dog wash. Guests rave about the friendly staff, delicious on-site food, and lively bar/restaurant with entertainment. Farm animals and playgrounds are a big hit with kids, and the location is perfect for exploring local beaches. While mostly positive, some noted WiFi limits and occasional kid noise.

Great location to get to Padstow
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked Very friendly staff
Great reception, bar and dining area
Lovely farm with alpacas and chickens and baby goats and rabbits!
Disliked Toilet facilities but confusing and limited it was very quiet when we were there but would imagine in busy times may be high demand.

Maybe put more trees in between plots as the area is known to be windy
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked The site is so nice. Great bar/restaurant. Food was amazing. Lovely play area for children
Disliked Sadly for us we were in line with the dog field which allowed the wind to batter our tent really heavily.
So bad we had to abandon our stay after 2 days. Absolutely gutted

Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked Campsite over all excellent, this was our third time staying and we absolutely loved it there the first two times this time I was very disappointed
Disliked Toilets not cleaned and no toilet roll in them I understand it is a busy campsite but this is no excuse

Mixed feelings about it
Mawgies 1 bedroom cabin (hot tub)
Liked The accommodation is out of this world ! So peaceful and everything you need !
It’s lovely having the llamas outside and the hot tub and setting just adds to it!
The bar/ refreshment area was lovely and all the staff are incredible
All the animals on site are a lovely touch and its very family orientated
Disliked We had arranged parking but on the Friday night our parking was taken by some people at a yoga session ! The parking is part of the accommodation so it was a little bit of an inconvenience but .. the staff sorted it very well!
Also on our last day we were having a quite chilled afternoon when the owner and some of his guests approached the accommodation and opened the door !! Our dog went crazy ha … and all he could say was “he didn’t think it was booked” .. kind of out on edge a little and made us think he had no idea who was staying on his site …
Don’t boom thinking you can use the hot tub .. we tried every night and spent extra on logs but it never got over tepid !

I will return, this was perfect.
The Potting Barn cabin
Liked This place is stunning. A great location close to all the bays like Mawgan Porth, Watergate and Porthcothan. The interior is stunning and cosy. It was really clean and the private garden and parking space was a lovely touch. Great shower and storage was good considering it is small. The outdoor shed was a nice addition for the wetsuits and water shoes. Opposite the park and farm animals. A 1 minute walk to the Smoke and Fire eatery. Just amazing

Liked Lovely site park amazing for kids. Massive plus having the restaurant and bar
Disliked Shower toilet facilities really poor. Poorly organised and not the cleanest. Like port a cabins from inside and the family disabled shower no room for clothes and put towels not family friendly. The path to get to the showers wasn’t disabled friendly.

Great for young children!
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked Location is lovely. Clean and tidy.
Disliked I would say the site is aimed more for tents. The entrance is a bit tight for caravans! Not enough showers! Food is great but a bit over priced!
