Came here as we found it in camp4night and booked a week to give it a try. Ended up stopping for three weeks it was that nice. We stayed in Devon before this as we have both retired, I built a campervan and we came away for a month and headed in the direction of Cornwall which we really love. So we started in Wales and stopped at a couple of sites, then into Devon which was a big site and we were lost in the crowd of campers there. Next stop was just outside Port Isaac and then down to here in Illogan which almost every place to visit is not more than 30 mins away so it was a good central base camp. Met Amy and Rodger and the both of them are lovely and friendly and accommodating. The campsite is very, very clean and I love the way they have made the pitches flat and level (Devon campsite take note LOL). Plenty of amenities on site and local shops and pubs are not far away. Don’t take our word for it though, cone and try it and you’ll see that a lot of effort, care and planning has gone into this campsite. Think they have gone above and beyond with more thought for quality not quantity but still at a reasonable price. I would rate it as 10/10 and I hope they are there for many years to come. Well done everyone involved in creating the campsite, it will give many people lots if happy memories to come. 👍👍👍
