What visitors say
This is what I would call a 'proper' campsite! It's on a farm, with so much space. The friendly, lovely and helpful Ali is happy for you to pitch anywhere, and anyhow which is so refreshing when compared to regimental pitching on some sites. Do remember your ramps as pitches are sloping. There is a fabulous play park and plenty of space for a ball game if you want some family/group fun. The toilets are a little dated but well kept and clean, hot showers, and good elsan and bin facilities. There's a footpath (not suitable for wheelchairs or mobility scooters) to the very wonderful Maenporth beach - great news as there is very limited parking, and a great way to spend a day as there are toilets and a cafe too. Highly recommend this place for families, hikers, couples, tents, campervans and tourers alike... in fact everyone.

What a great site. It is located in a very nice part of Cornwall & is in walking distance to a sandy beach, but also to Falmouth (3 miles along the coast path). All of which can be accessed by footpaths directly from the site. This quiet campsite is clean & well kept with lots of open space for camping. There’s not regimented bays with hard standings, just great areas of well kept grass to pitch up on. Facilities are clean with plenty of hot water for the showers. Will definitely be coming back here again.

I’ve stayed here for several years and Ali and her husband are always extremely accommodating and friendly. Bring chocs for camper vans as the site is mostly sloping but Ali does provide some if you haven’t any. There are hook up facility too and hard standing areas as well as grass pitches. Showers are hot and powerful and wash up facilities and toilets all great. There’s a great walk from the site through the trees to the beach, about 15 mins, so you don’t have to use the road, very useful if you have dogs and children. There’s even a children’s play park, hand made by Ali’s husband and fenced off for extra safety and a newly installed wooden cabin which is the campsite shop and cafe and finally an independently run onsite sauna ! Overall a very family friendly, beautiful site.

Loved staying here! Nice and quiet with lots of space and a wide view of the surrounding forest. The terrain is a bit sloping but just okay for a tent. We chose a pitch without electricity because the ones available with electricity were too steep for us. However there is a freezer so we could keep our coolbox cold the “old fashioned way” with freezer packs. The toilets and showers are basic but clean and well looked after! In the shower/laundry building you get company of a cute flock of swallows. There is a small shop on site with some food and basic supplies, but in off-season only opened for limited hours. For everything else it’s just a 10-15 mins drive to Falmouth. You can also walk to the beach in 10-15mins, following a beautiful footpath along the farmlands.
