A note from the site themselves...

Having enjoyed travelling a fair bit ourselves we are happy to help facilitate others to share the same kind of experiences on the campsite at affordable prices. Many people move to Cornwall for the proximity to the sea and all the water activities related to this, but we are here largely to work the land and greenhouses (site is formerly Gweek Nursery).

We follow the growing principles of permaculture and do what we can to avert the climate emergency where possible. We are close to 100% carbon neutral on site.
