Liked: A quiet, peaceful site with a simple but very clean shower and toilet block. Lovely central spot for anywhere other Lizard peninsula. Will definitely go again.
Disliked: My only negative about the site was the weak Wi-fi signal.
The whole local area is pretty poor in terms of Internet signal strength, so it would have been helpful if the Wi-fi on site was strong. Sometimes it would connect and hold, sometimes it wouldn't. Glad I had a good book with me.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Easy check in - pitch number sent by email on the morning of arrival.
Nice balance between natural-looking and well maintained pitches; site mowed at least once during our stay.
Plenty of space the middle of the site, so we didn't feel like we were on top of other people.
Wasn't fully booked, and had a quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
A number of taps, so not too far to go for water.
Good recycling facilities.
Owner was quick to respond to an email sent during our stay.
Four minutes from Coverack - fishing village with beautiful sandy beach, gentle waves and ample free parking, great fish & chips and cream teas by harbour.
Easy access locally - Kynanace and Lizard 20min, Falmouth about 35min.
Free WiFi access was a boon. Struggled to connect initially, as I couldn't get signal, but once I'd connected by the shower block, could get signal enough back at the tent to stream films with no problem.
Relatively few insects/wasps!
Disliked: The site was quite quiet when we were there - perhaps would struggle for access to facilities if it was more crowded (one shower for men and one for women, one washing up sink), but we didn't have any queues during our stay.
Some road noise - individual cars rather than constant hum. But on the flip side, no noise from other campers.

Electric grass touring pitch (large)
Liked: Basic, simple, clean, friendly.
Facilities are basic: There is a toilet and shower block. Reasonably, clean and well kept.
There is a sink and fridge for public use, drain for grey-water and toilet-cassette, bins for waste and recycling.
The ground is generally flat. Grass well kept.
Owners are friendly and helpful.
Lovely to sit and watch the sunset over Goonhilly downs.
Disliked: Single shower per gender. Floor is flat, so drains slowly. Not enough hooks or storage for dry clothing and wash-kit. It works, but could be better.

Electric grass touring pitch (large)
Liked: Friendly owners and staff. Large pitch with water & ehu at pitch.
Loo's cleaned at least twice a day.
Short drive to nice beeches and towns.
Disliked: Not dislikes....more possible improvements...
Only 2 loo's for gents and one shower. only a small site so I'm sure that's enough for 95% of the year.
Elsan point at ground level would be good as grey water waste-hog too heavy to lift up to where it is.
Trees on entrance to the camping field / area could do with a prune to avoid scraping taller motorhomes (like ours).
