A note from the site themselves...

We are a family run park with mum, dad, daughter, son in law and son! We have always been campers/caravaners so we had an insight into what customers look for on a site. For us, we wanted a site where families can come and enjoy time with relatives/children.

Chilling after a day out on the beach or sightseeing was a must so a noisy rowdy site wasn't for us! We expected facilities to be clean and well maintained. Somewhere the children could play and make friends in a safe environment with friendly site owners/wardens.

We fell in love with the site on arrival, it has a 'feel good' and welcoming atmosphere (which many customers have mentioned in reviews) and knew instantly it was the site for us. We have spent our time putting our own stamp on, updating/renewing and adding to make this site the best it can be. Keeping our amenities spotless is paramount.

There is always more that can be done so we try with each year to add a little something new! We pride ourselves on our ability to provide a site that is all that we would expect and want for our holiday.

Dan greeted us. We were quite late and informed him all through our journey, he was very complimentary about that. He set us up and we were sorted. Going back for 2 weeks next year.

Medium Tent - Serviced Grass PitchesAug 2024

Overall, very happy with my stay. Great owners, great customer service. Lovely site which is well located to reach several destinations in Cornwall. The site and facilities are well maintained, the washing facilities had an excellent level of hygiene. A nice family site, with a decent amount of amenities. In terms of constructive feedback, I would suggest that their listing info is aligned with the site's guidelines to avoid disappointment. Their listing outlines fire pits and BBQs are welcome which is true. However, on arrival, the guidelines provided by the site states you are only permitted to use the campsite's firepits and firewood at an extra charge. I would suggest that if allowed amenities do come with a caveat or charge, this is reflected on online advertising.

Site's response

Hi there, thank you for your lovely review so glad you all had a lovely time at our site. We've taken onboard your feedback about the firepits and have updated our site info.

Amazing stay!

Medium Tent - Serviced Grass PitchesAug 2024

Just returned from a week stay here for our first camping trip and I don't think we could have chosen anywhere better! The owners are so friendly and helpful, the shower block/toilets are always clean, excellent facilities including a family shower room which was so helpful for us with our 1 and 5 year old. We were close to everywhere we wanted to go, never travelling more than an hour to get anywhere. Lovely and quiet at night. Just brilliant, already thinking about booking next year!
