Staff were friendly and approachable, the facilities were clean and well maintained, great on site shop, cafe and bar, The views and weather were a well added bonus, Will be stopping again soon 3 weeks ago · via Google Freddie Jones ★★★★★ Perfect spot for camping near Watergate and very affordable. Only thing holding off the 5 star is the decision to have a street lamp in the middle of the camping pitches that stays on all night?! Like many others I go camping to get out of urban areas and with such beautiful coastline, sunsets and stargazing opportunities from North Cornwall it was so frustrating to feel like I was camping under a sports pitch floodlight. 3 months ago · via Google James Hutchinson ★★★★★ Just enjoyed 5 lovely days at the view campsite.
