Prosper House Camping

Polubione Great hot water showers, laidback atmosphere, sound of the sea through the night (when it wasn't raining), lots of birdlife, convenient pub, and camp shop and coffee bar over the road on a different site but open to anybody.

Niepolubione Kitchen area (fridge, freezer, kettle and phone charging sockets) neglected and a bit grubby, though toilets and shower huts were maintained to a reasonable level.

Polubione The site is very quiet and secluded, only the odd pleasant neigh from a horse in the field next door penetrated the silence.
Before my arrival, Ruth did clearly state that the amenities were fairly rustic. This is immediately evident, but the cleanliness was generally good and the left hand shower was always hot. Each of my cool mornings, I found it very hard to leave.
It is also in an ideal position to explore the natural beauty around Gwithian, and the beach is just a short walk away.
A pub serving lovely food is almost ‘on site’ and the close proximity to the ‘Horse Box’ mobile cafe is a bonus too!!

Niepolubione It would have been of great help if the owner had been far more proactive before my arrival. I felt communication was very ‘hit and miss’ with answers to queries taking too long to get a reply. This was very frustrating when facing difficult planning decisions at home.
Onto more physical matters, the shower on the right was very temperamental, so much so that I used it once and gave up.
The ‘fridge and food prep’ shed was extremely basic and smelt a little unsavoury. The contents (not anything supplied by owner) of the fridge were questionable as to age and whether they had been just dumped and left to deteriorate by previous campers.
Finally, the phone signal is a bit ify and I usually had to leave the campsite to get hooked up. Saying that, in many situations, though not ideal, this can be seen as a positive too!

Polubione We stayed in Ruebens cube and found this to be great for our needs as a last minute trip with minimal planning.

The quaint back to earth nature of the site is lovely, it's basic, but clean and has an intimate atmosphere as it's a fairly small field.

I had one query about equipment in the 'cube' and a quick text to the owners was answered quickly and sorted.

Facilities are basic but work well, hot showers with good pressure and clean toilets, add in the phone charging points and fridge freezer with enough capacity to store your milk and refreeze your cool blocks and this is a well served camp site.

Rules where followed with minimal noise or disruptions and everyone was settled in for a quiet night in the evening and a good sleep was possible.

Beach is close by, either walk or use the car parks and it's a short drive to Hayle for shops.

The beach is truly fab, a couple of cafes and a surf academy which are all excellent. I think it's actually 2 beaches seperate by a rocky outcrop.

I'd imagine the cube is designed for couples, as a father and teenage son we managed with one in the double bed and a makeshift camp bed on the floor which just about fit so long as you're not too tall, I'm 5ft 8. I chose the cube option as I didn't want the hassle of putting up a big tent with my son.

There is a double burner and a nifty cadac bbq all gas powered and all the cooking equipment you could need for cooking just about anything.

There is very little phone signal here, you can decide if that's a good thing or not.
5G is ample in other areas, near the beach or near Hayle for instance.

Pub is a stones throw away and has good ales and food, all reasonable prices, it's popular so booking is advised. Nice looking beer graden too.

I would definitely stay again and am already considering when to book, will probably be a camping pitch next time.

Niepolubione Having to leave to go back to the 'real' world, we could have stayed forever!
