Nice enough location but facilities fall short

This site has lovely views but that's where the positives end. As a campsite, the standards of the most basic facilities just let it down badly - by this, I mean cold showers with low power and a frustratingly short five second water burst with each button press, dirty toilet and shower block, and a disgusting excuse for an "Elsan point" which was just poor - if you allow caravans to stay, provide the proper facilities for them! Also, no hot water in pot wash area and one washing machine and dryer for the entire site. There are others waiting for a card machine apparently, however, I read previous reviews and they've been waiting a long time for those. The children's play equipment is also poor considering so many families that must want to camp.
Not the greatest

If you don't mind lots of noise, then this is the place for you! There was shouting, music and the sound of blowing up air beds very late into the evening. There were swarms of wasps and children seemed to be upsetting the horse and foal. The showers and toilets were basic, but it was difficult to get children ready after a shower. I would recommend installing a bench or shelf, which I think would really help. The shop also wasn't open, which was a real disappointment. Not somewhere I would return to, we left early.
Quiet with a sea view

I would highly recommend this site. All good size pitches and well looked after. The owners here genuinely don't stop and are on hand for any questions/help needed. I was even unlucky enough to be in a car accident while visiting Cornwall and the hire car was sent to the wrong address, which the owner Nicola located for me. All the facilities were in good working order and clean and everyone on site stuck to the site rules, which made for a better stay. Also I would like to mention the dedication of the owners here as once they were notified of some tents getting into difficulty, they came to the pitch and did their best to rectify the situation as the owners of the tent had gone out for the day - you really are in safe hands.
Beautiful location

Absolutely beautiful location…you pay for what you get. Great value for money and really big electric pitches, we were really impressed. Wasn't overly priced so didn't have high expectations for the cleanliness of the showers/ toilet block. Facilities for the bins could be better managed as there wasn't a lot of space for waste. The only downfall was there were a lot of wasps, but that's mother nature for you! Would stay again.
Lovely view but very noisy campers

The site is an open field with a lovely sea view but is quite exposed so in bad weather, the tents get a battering. The shower and toilet facilities were big and cleaned regularly but because they were busy, they often ran out of toilet paper. Pitches are a good size but we felt quite penned in on the electric hook up. Non electric had loads of space so if you don't need to plug in, you'll be able to spread out. Unfortunately our stay was ruined by very noisy, inconsiderate campers who were very loud until late at night (2am, despite the campsite 'quiet time' being 10.30). The owners did try and resolve this by speaking to them, but sadly it made no difference and we had the same again on our last night.

Nice site. A bit expensive, chemical loo disposal was very poor and no hand washing facility at the point. A brilliant view close to Falmouth but no shop bar or available on the site.
Amazing location, good facilities

Lovely field with sea views near Falmouth and all that has to offer. Nicola was a welcoming host. Facilities were just ok: toilets and showers had hot water but were only cleaned twice in the week we stayed and dish washing sinks had only cold water. Electricity hook-ups available and Small Playground for kids. There is an indoor space if it's raining and a washing machine and fridge freezer but they are in the ladies' toilets. Laundrette was installed but not working.
Lovely

Second time on this campsite. We love it. Lovely views, kind owners, good facilities. Also a building where you can rest and play when it is raining. Hope to come back again.
Amazing, definitely returning!

A lovely place to stay. Quiet, well-equipped and stunning views. We stayed here because we were meeting up with my brothers at Helford Passage, which was a nice 20-minute bike ride away. There is a really good local shop in Mawnan Smith (fantastic pasties) and some excellent walks direct from the site. Can't recommend it enough.

We stayed for 4 days at this campsite. The facilities were clean, nice showers and toilets, with friendly staff. The views on this campsite are truly stunning, it's a lovely peaceful site in a great area to go and explore what Cornwall has to offer. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this site.

Lovely site, good view out to sea. Nice clean loo's and showers. Thank you for having us for the short visit.
Very basic site

Unfortunately, very basic facilities did not equate with cost per night. Dark but clean toilets. Showers required button to be pressed every 8 seconds or so, and the water temp was just warm enough during good weather. Litter around site which I picked up. Bin area not emptied enough. Washing up sinks only had cold water. Chemical toilet waste area was gross, just a lid on floor that had to be lifted and it was covered in waste.
Wonderfully wild and simple

Beautiful site and lovely and quiet, with the exception of the sheep who woke us at 4.30am because they had overnighted outside of tents. We are farmers ourselves and whilst we have no issues with sheep or them being in close proximity, we did not appreciate the early morning wake up on our weekend away with the children. I might suggest fencing them in better in the field they are supposed to reside.
Great!

This site is about location location, location! The Seaview can't be better. The walk down to Maenporth beach was easy going and pretty. Only downside were the sheep wandering about. Not great to come back from a walk to find the sheep have wiped themselves up the side of your van and your chairs.
Love this pjace

This campsite has potential to be extremely good, some things at the moment are still under construction. The showers are good but a little small with only hooks to put towels and clothes on so that clothes and shoes become wet when you take a shower (a bench seat would help). I prefer cubicles with wash basin, toilet and shower in one place and privacy to clean teeth etc. Also a dog walk or field would help. The field had a lot of sheep droppings which were a bit off putting. Not sure that anything could be done about this as I know this is a working farm. I would stay again and my review is in no way meant to be a complaint but more of an observation to help improve the site.
Had a lovely time

Had a lovely time but showers were a little annoying. After 5 seconds of pushing the button to turn it on, the water stops.
