Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Pizza shop onsite, nice toilets and showers
Disliked Slopey pitches (it is on the description but we couldn’t even it out with our ramps for the van so worth noting).
Quite expensive to say there’s not a lot near by, spent a lot on food, showers, electricity and laundry as it all adds up having to pay.
Noisy at night too even after the 10pm cut off.

From the manager: Thank you for your recent visit
Visiting Cornwall is no Benidorm very much the opposite. It really depends on what you want to do if you want beaches then this is the place there is much to do but it depends on what you want to do.
At Chycarne we have a number of different camping areas to suit all needs Over 50% of all the available pitches are on level ground and the remaining are on a gentle slope.
Now this generally is not an issue for most but we are always happy to offer assistance to help level any unit with exception to tents which is an impossible task at the best.
Now its common knowledge that costs have increased to business and continue to rise
Electricity has seen a huge increase and this would also apply to the laundry but these are optional.
The small charge for showers is reflected in our tariff. Showers are not free here nor are they free at home. There are a lot of costs that have to be met just to have a shower equally we are required to clean the waste water that as been used before it can be discharged safely and this is super expensive. unfortunately Chycarne does not benefit from a mains sewer
Unfortunately there are times when despite all your rules they some how do not always apply to certain individuals They are your noisy brigade. Wardens will always ask any noisy persons to consider other guests and wardens will always do there best but I am afraid this situation is NOT unique to us, it happens just about every where and every campsite to best of my knowledge
Sorry to hear that you spent to much on food but that really is out of our control
Wish you well

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Nette camping. Vriendelijke medewerkers. Iedereen is erg op zichzelf. En dat is prima.
Kinderen waren blij met de goede wifi.
Mooi uitzicht. Fijn dat de bus daar stopt. Zo konden we naar Lizard. En terug via de kust lopen. Aanrader!
Blij dat ik met boeken om een rechte plek heb gevraagd.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Great location, with some spectacular sea views. Clean and tidy.
Disliked Very little monitoring of poor behaviour. Children screaming and running around the park, till 11pm. Other campers partying and arguing till 3am.

From the manager: Thank you for your recent visit and making us aware of your comments
Chycarne holiday park is a small independent family campsite located within anarea of outstanding natural beauty overlooking Kennack sands
Of course children screaming late on in to the night is not acceptable and the on site wardens will deal with this excessive noise after 10pm and have intervened on a few occasions throughout this summer but unfortunately this is the way during the school summer holidays but never at any other times throughout the year as for other campers partying late on in to the night and maybe having a dispute know our wardens once again will intervene but will not get involved with any domestic disputes as this can often see unfortunately the wardens becoming the focus of the individuals attention but they will monitor the situation.
We have had no such reports, however of any partying till 3am as this would have been dealt with much earlier but if visitors choose to site outside their tent /camper/caravan then they are fully entitled to do so providing they respect other campers and keep the noise to a minimum. However do be assured that wardens are on site and do monitor up to a point until the campsite becomes quiet at such point they will retire. There is always an emergency number that can be called to report any anti social behaviour and noise and wardens will respond as quickly as possible. But please do accept we can only do so much and can never completely prevent sudden outbursts of noise at any time
but we are delighted other than this you enjoyed your stay with us
Chycarne
With regards to children screaming and running around until 11pm All excessive noise after 10pm will be dealt with by our wardens
Excellent campsite faculties very clean around the clock
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Pitch location was perfect single mum with a child right by the showers, toilet, and washing up area, loved the shop very handy for more gas and hired a fire pit. Scenery and the walks were amazing!! 16 minutes to Kynance cove.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Very dated / old toilet block, but clean.
Disliked The pitches are very small, we had trouble erecting our tent, our poles kept hitting the camper vans next to us. We were completely surrounded by camper vans on all sides of our pitch. The site was extremely noisy till around 11pm most nights by older children in the park shouting and screaming. The park is open 24 hrs a day. It was stated in the information that the site was patrolled by wardens? never saw one.
We will never camp / holiday on this site again and will not recommend to friends.

We must confess we are at a complete loss at your comments
and your rating
Chycarne is a well maintain clean tidy site that is both family friendly and dog friendly
At Chycarne we have many camping areas situated throughout the park All pitches at Chycarne are a minimum of 10 x 8 metres, However we always happy to change your pitch subject to availability.
Chycarne is a campsite and we have many visitors, some in camper vans some in touring caravans and others in tents I guess that's the way it is in all campsites unless I am mistaken and we are no different
Noise can be an issue especially at night and despite your claim wardens are and do respond to excessive noise after 10pm Wardens have intervene on a few occasions with screaming kids in the play areas. All child's play areas are closed at 10pm
If of course you were unhappy with your pitch and the children playing then its much easier for us to deal with whilst you were on site and if you had reported it to reception then these issues could have been dealt with but we are not aware of any issues only in this review
We hope to see you again soon
Chycarne
At Chycarne we have three toilet and shower blocks Not sure they are dated or even that old but that's your opinion but they are clean, safe and functional and well maintain. They are simple but We are not looking to win any awards for our shower blocks

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Close proximity to beach 20 minute woodland walk was a hit. Showers and toilets were clean tidy and functional. Pizzas were amazing. Shop also great for most things you need. Pitches were large and well spaced out.
Disliked WiFi was not great when campsite busy!
