What customers say
Praised for stunning, peaceful location w/ beautiful sea views, ideal for quiet getaways & coastal walks. Pods are clean, comfy, well-equipped. Facilities clean, functional, though basic. Secluded, private. Guests mention distance to toilets; Wi-Fi absence a plus for family time. Recommend bringing good footwear. Great value!

Unfortunately not for us
Camping pod (two person)
Liked Very honest review
Prior to arrival we were sent arrival details which were great, we found the place no problem. We were allowed to arrive early as it was ready.

The pod was warm and cosy

Toilets, although clean was a pump system, the toilet was inside a shed and the door and window did not shut correctly so the outside world could see you and you could see out
The pod bed, difficult to understand from the pitch up info but, there isn't one, it's just two mattresses and that's not what we expected, we would have brought our camping bed.
The electric was only 12volt and solar panels, so we didn't even try to plug our kettle in for a drink, although I had messaged to ask if we could but had no reply.
The distance from pod 3 to the top of the field to use the toilet was such a long distance although I reality it was probably a 1-2 min walk but was uphill.
Shower, I didn't even bother as the door to the container it was in would not shut therefore I didn't feel safe to try it, the shower itself looked old with the ceiling falling apart and looking very old.
Overall, watching the sunset looking over the ocean was nice and from our usual busy Warden life it was a break away but this would not be a return choice for us.
It really was not worth the £40 we spent for one night for just a roof over your head. Honestly could not decide if I would pay £20 and my husband said £30!

From the manager: The review system is supposed to respect the experiences and expectations of guests using a particular establishment. You chose a micro campsite. This type of accommodation with a loo rather too far for you to walk to has led to your rather dim view of your experience here.
The shower and loos are simple and not brand new so there will be elements that will not be perfect for many. However everything is functional and kept clean.
The camping pods have been in the same position and looked after to give the majority of guests a lovely secure camping experience. On the whole we receive very positive views and those guests have experienced what you have.
During your stay the loos worked the shower was hot then refuse was emptied etc. And you had superb weather!!!!
I do hope you find a lovely campsite that fulfils your expectations.
My pods are probably the cheapest available in Cornwall and are perfectly decent for a comfortable stay.

Toilets and shower are minimal but functional.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
I am surprised that you found we aren't good value for money as £40 pounds per night is the lowest we can possibly go before we'd be operating at a loss. Even parking a car in Cornwall costs about a third of what we charge for an overnight camping pod. Most campsites charge £35 to erect your own two man tent for the night.
Your booking came in very late in the day 18:45 and arrived within the hour so we didn't have the opportunity to send you all the arrival information so as you can easily find pod. Luckily we had a friend staying who helped you.
Of course the facilities will have been used by the other pod users during the day and evening so they won't have serviced specifically for your arrival. Your pod however will have been properly serviced.
Your overall score for a camping pod is low too, I wonder if you are used to the structure of a hotel and not that of a micro-campsite?
Great stay, good location, really enjoyed Thank you

Liked Only 3 pods, so really quiet & peaceful. Comfy mattresses in pods. Friendly welcome.
Disliked The weather on the first day (no control over that!) & lack of phone signal, but both helped to relax so win win.

Camping pod (two person)
Liked A wonderful site, great views from the well maintained pods. Having an electric supply, light and comfortable mattress was a welcome surprise! Clean toilets and a good supply of hot water was appreciated too. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.
Disliked The weather!
