What customers say
A well-kept, clean campsite with large, level sites & friendly staff. Warm, clean restrooms were a highlight. Great for exploring Cornwall's beaches/towns. A few minor issues like dated maps & cleaning during busy periods. Refurbishments are planned.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Needs improvement and more staff to fulfil its max potential.
Powered grass tent campsite
Liked Facilities were clean, staff that we did see were friendly.
Campsite was quiet and spaced out.
Disliked Check-in map was out of date. Nearest toilet block was closed for refurb but the next closest toilets were not marked on the map provided. There were pitches available near this toilet block which would have been more suitable as it was a considerable walk to the facilities.
The fresh water tap nearest our pitch was not working.
Reception was closed even during its stated opening hours. Could not find any staff, only an emergency number provided which was not ideal for a non emergency query.
We provided our reg plates prior to arrival however these were not programmed into the camera system so arriving after 4pm meant we could not get in, luckily the warden took note and let us in.

Liked Toilets were clean and the staff were really friendly
Disliked The site was our least favourite as it was pretty empty and totally lacked any kind of atmosphere at all. We wondered if it was a travellers site.

Liked Very peaceful and relaxing, clean facilities.
Disliked Pitches were a bit weedy and poorly maintained, bar and was closed during our stay. Man in a permanent pitched van urinating up the hedge wasn’t pleasant when your 50m from the toilet block.
