The campsite is very basic but has what is needed and much cheaper than other campsites anywhere near St Ives. It is nice and quiet and very peaceful. No issues using bathrooms or cleaning facilities, even at busy times. On site food truck was great but not open consistently. Would be much better if the on-site pub was open.
Lovely site

Lovely spot, asked if we could change pitches so we could get the motorhome out easily and was not a problem. Lovely friendly people. Would definitely go again.
Won’t be coming back

Great location. Made good use of buses but no visitor information given by staff on arrival. The shop and reception was closed throughout our stay. No given reason as to why. Showers and toilets were dirty, didn't appear to be cleaned daily. Some toilet and shower cubicles were locked and not accessible. A complete block of showers/toilets were closed. The grey waste/toilet waste disposal points were very smelly. Didn't see any staff members around the site during our stay. Very disappointing.
Great location for exploring

We arrived in stormy conditions, but managed to pitch and stay dry. Ideal location to explore more of Cornwall. There was plenty of room for both tent and vehicle, it's was a peaceful spot for 3 days until the arrival of families with children using the play park so very near our tent and at times, was noisy. The toilet and shower block, good but the only open shower units was very small,. The larger units were locked and so were some of the toilets. Laundry room good and dish washing area good, great to be able to freeze your own freezer blocks, which was handy. All in all, a good stay.
Nice site

Lovely view, but facilities were minimal/poor and no staff made their presence known the whole time we stayed!

Beautiful setting for campsite, lovely if you want a peaceful break, but want to be close to St Ives. Clean & well laid out. Shower/toilet block clean & spacious.

Lovely place with massive caravan spacing. Facilities very clean and easy access. But this is a remote place, with a thin lane leading to it. But there are lovely walk and cycle rides in this area. There is also a pub a mile away on the main road, which is a nice old pub.
Great stay

A well-laid out site very close to St Ives, with a convenient bus stop into the town. We stayed over the bank holiday and had a great time. The facilities are well maintained and clean, and they have a timeless quality which adds to the general atmosphere - no new modern blocks! It was just a shame the bar and shop were shut, but this did not detract from our stay. I would thoroughly recommend this slightly quieter site than some others nearby.

The available facilities were spotless, with plenty of hot water available in the showers and washing up areas. Tom was friendly although rather busy. However, a lack of staff meant that facilities such as the shop and the bar were not available.
Much enjoyed holiday

Not what was expected

We travelled to the site, hoping for a relaxing couple of days. When we booked in, the young boy seemed very disinterested. He apologised for the lack of cleanliness in reception, stating that the family were undecided whether to close up or not. Apparently, fuel costs had ruined the business and nobody seemed to want to travel. Although polite and helpful in changing our pitch to one with EHU, it was next to a loud and messy group of men, although they were only there for one night. There was no shop on site and the restaurant was closed, again citing that they had no staff to run it. To be honest, we may as well have saved our money and wild camped for a few nights. I am sorry, but I cannot recommend this location.
Lovely low-key campsite

A lovely quiet and clean campsite with good shower and toilet facilities - good location a couple of miles outside St Ives. It would have been great if the footpaths running to the side of and from the campsite were more accessible, but I realise that's down to the landowners involved/Cornwall County Council.
