This was probably the best site we’ve stayed on. Immaculately kept and a credit to the hard work of the team - particularly Angie and Andrew and their family/staff. Nothing was too much trouble! Thank you.
Our visit in March.

Lovely, well kept site. We had a fully serviced pitch on hard standing which was perfect for us considering the wet weather conditions. Very helpful site wardens - nothing too much trouble. Good location for access to many of the lovely Cornish beaches and coastline.
Beautiful site

Immaculately maintained site. Great facilities. Friendly staff. 1 mile hilly walk to the beach. Great base to drive to park and ride stations which you can then travel anywhere in Cornwall.

Things to do on site and in the Porthtowan area
There is no shortage of things to do in the beautiful county of Cornwall, and the site is ideally located only 3 miles from the A3. It is home to a tourist information point so you can plan your days!
Porthtowan Beach is temptingly close to the site, with a lovely stretch of sand where you can relax as much as you like or try your hand at surfing.
The soft play area at Bombadingas is a great choice for families, and you can also book horse riding lessons in the area.
Just 4 miles away, you'll find Tehidy Park Golf Club, where you can work on your swing in lovely Cornish surroundings.
For something to do when the weather isn't on your side, pop to the cinemas in Redruth and Truro, or take the whole family to the swimming pool about 5 miles away at Carn Brea Leisure Centre.
Fishing and horse riding are available nearby too.
