Great communication with owner throughout our stay. Well managed site, very clean, tidy and well tended, green pitches. Hot showers, large cubicle size, soft lino floors, well vented toilets, covered washing up area kept clean and hygienic, plus the ratio of pitches to facilities was spot on. Fridges and freezers are offered for campers to use, which was very handy. Plus further facilities are currently under construction by the owners, which sound great. Pitch pp pn was best value in the Lizard, plus offered easy access to Helston. Helston offered plenty of pubs and eating options, which we were grateful of. We loved our stay and will definitely stay again.
