Great location for beaches and Fowey. It's all pretty automated when you arrive, no reception just a mobile number which is fine and it works. Pitches are terraced so you get the views over the bay, very well set out from that perspective and our spot was flat, although one or two vans were up on chocks/ramps for the perfect levelness, but they all looked level to me. The facilities are not new but are clean, well kept and with it being a larger site they did well to keep it that way - flowers in the toilets! Showers were auto-off with a very short 'on' period perhaps as they were getting on a bit in terms of age? Take a boot lace to cable tie to loop them on, but don't forget to remove it and not waste water! Overall a good site and I'll be back if we are in the area.

Very nice stay at this campsite. We would definitely visit again. Polkerris was within walking distance. I have to say it was easier getting there than coming back up hill, but very doable. Once you arrived you are greeted with a beautiful cove with shop, pub and restaurant there. Of course, the weather helped as it was hot. We were able to walk to Fowey on another day but we did get the bus back. The site is quite small which we liked and very clean. The toilets/ showers had fresh flowers in, which was a nice touch. All was very clean. The pitches you get are big. The view from ours was lovely and the price reasonable.
Lovely site and beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay at Penhale. Easy check in and nice, large well marked pitches. Lovely views of the sea. Could do with an additional hand dryer in the toilets as there is only one and at busier times, there were queues to dry your hands. Also the shower had to keep being turned on every five seconds, which made hair washing a challenge.
Fantastic

As soon as you drive onto the site, you are greeted with wonderful sea views. Showers and toilets etc are plentiful. The whole site is kept tidy and clean. It depends on what time of year you holiday, but it was very peaceful for us.
Excellent location and lovely views

The site is in a lovely location within easy reach of the Eden Project, which was the reason for our stay. What we weren't expecting were the amazing views out to sea. There is a large grass field for tents which isn't marked and you choose where you want to pitch, which was great as we could choose a lovely view. The field is quite sloped in places so you have to be careful how you pitch, but it's not an issue. Check in was easy and the team on site were very friendly and nice to deal with. Facilities were always clean and well maintained with fresh cut flowers in the shower block (a nice touch). Overall highly recommended.
