What customers say
This spotless, well-kept site boasts spacious, level pitches and great facilities like a games room & playground. Staff are noted as friendly, helpful, and welcoming, creating a relaxed vibe. It’s perfect for exploring the Cornish coast, with the beach a short drive or walk away. Most guests were very happy, though a few mentioned limited shop hours and sometimes lukewarm showers. Highly recommended, with many planning to revisit.

Powered grass campsite
Liked We recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic campsite near Porthtowan Beach, and I can't recommend it enough! The cleanliness of the site was impressive; everything was spotless, The facilities were well-maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Pitch’s were a great size and perfect camping ground. Our 2 boys aged 12 & 13 enjoyed the park and the milkshakes! The WiFi was a bonus!!
We luckily arrived for the visiting pizza trucks last visit and the pizza was delicious!!
The owners were incredibly welcoming and Their friendliness made our time there even more enjoyable.
The location couldn't be better—just a short 5 min drive to the beautiful Porthtowan Beach (or 20min walk with hills) If you're looking for a perfect camping getaway, this is the place to be!
