About the site


This family run and family friendly site offers an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway near the sea. You can find the sandy Gunwalloe Beach only a 35 minute walk away, with top attractions like Flambards Theme Park and Cornish Seal Sanctuary also within a ten minute drive for days out. The site offers 29 electric and non electric grass pitches with the option of electric hook up for tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans, motorhomes and RVs. The electric pitches range in size from small, medium and large, starting at 5m x 12m up to 15m x 17m. The ancient town of Helston is only ten minutes away, full of pubs, shops, restaurants and more. A short walk from Helston is Loe Pool, the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall - a must-visit! The site is well placed for coastal walks, being just ten minutes from the South West Coast Path. Keen hikers should tackle the walk to Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula, which takes roughly three hours. Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads and supervised at all times. BBQs are permitted but must be raised off the ground and attended at all times.

A note from the site themselves...

The site is very special to me as it has been in my family since it began. I can't wait to now keep it going, update it, meet new people and keep the family feel of the site. I'm looking forward to making your holiday special, helping you as much as I can, learning and developing the site each year. Claire
