What customers say
A lovely, clean, peaceful campsite with spacious, private spots. Guests rave about the location, close to the beach, and the friendly staff. Showers/toilets are clean but a bit dated. Good for families and dogs. Some note windiness, a narrow access road, and dated family rooms. Highly recommended; many will return.

From the manager: Hi Christine,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am really disappointed by its content. We are regularly around the site and whilst we will engage with anybody and everybody, I am sorry we didn't get that opportunity to do so with you. The bins were full on Thursday morning, as I emptied them, but to say over-flowing feels a little stretched.
You're right about the toilet block being a little dated, however it is cleaned daily, functional and provides all that is needed for the park and it's guests. An earlier review even mentioned it adding to the charm of the site.
We also don't advertise a disabled toilet, so I am sorry if you thought we did have one, but I am unsure where you may have read that.
We also provide our number and contact information on all our correspondence, if your stay had any niggles then we absolutely welcome you to contact us during your stay. As I note you had issues with our free Wi-Fi service, which is a superfast Wi-Fi provision suitable for streaming etc...
If you do find the opporunity to visit again, we would welcome the chance to ensure a smooth stay.
Best wishes,
Allen

Perfect tranquil find! Level large pitches, clean facilities.
FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked We loved absolutely everything about this site! The location for us is perfect, only a short 12 min walk to beach, through beautiful woodland. The owner Allen and all the staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our pitch was large, easily accessible, flat with little hedges for privacy and to mark the boundaries. All pitches were flat that had hard standing, as were the grass pitches. We had a hard standing and grass fully serviced pitch, located as we had asked for near to the amenities. The amenities were very, very clean and well maintained, there was a small laundry, pot washing facility, family room then ladies and gents showers/toilets. Around the back of the block was the area to empty and wash the caravan cassettes.
The total tranquility of the site is wonderful, all that can be heard is the sounds from the sea and birds.
There are children’s play areas which are well maintained from what I saw, the children certainly seemed to enjoy the areas, it was so lovely to hear children actually playing nowadays. But not obtrusively.
The park is a good size, not too big nor too small.
There’s a dog walking area, with poo bin.
The camping areas are flat and situated within an area with some mature trees, I’m sure it would give privacy as there were also privacy/boundary hedges. There were electric points around the camping area.
There is a walk by the sides of the fields over to kuggar, again only about 10-12 mins to the small friendly local pub. There’s a Thai takeaway van there, Thursday to Saturday I think.
It’s about a 15 min drive to Helston for the supermarkets/pubs/restaurants etc . Which was perfect for us.
We fell in love with this site, and will be back many, many times.

Liked Site was spotlessly clean, and very well kept.
Allen was very friendly + helpful.
Disliked The hot water could have done with being hotter in dishwashing room. We didn't like to run it any longer, needs to be as hot as the water in the shower block, which was fine.
