A note from the site themselves...

We moved from Essex to Cornwall in 2019 to begin our dream of running our own Campsite. The spring and summer are wonderful, it's just fantastic to see our site come to life with visitors from near and far! Cornwall is the most stunning county and there are so many great events to visit and new places to explore with our adult children and two labradors, there's just never enough time!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

Warm welcome on arrival. Plenty of information and details provided when enquiring about local area. First small site we have stayed on and so much nicer than larger sites. The owners were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Facilities immaculately clean, nice showers. Enjoyed so much, stayed an extra night. Highly recommend, we intend to return.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Having reluctantly agreed to my husband's request to camp in Cornwall for our summer holiday I was delighted to find a campsite willing to accommodate our 4 dogs. Upon arrival, we were met by Kellie with a really useful information pack, shown to our pitch (we were given a choice of two). Tent was erected and it was almost time for the weekly visit of Kernow Pizza to cater for those wanting freshly made pizza. The Peg & Mallet bar is open 5 days a week (except Sunday & Wednesday), great value and good selection of drinks. Showers and washing facilities are really well thought out and kept spotlessly clean. Lots of drinking water taps throughout the site. The dog pen is an excellent idea and was regularly used (with the provision that dogs are not left unaccompanied) everybody was great at 'picking up' and there were quite a few campers with two or more dogs (mostly team Labrador!). This site is well located for the small ports and beaches on the South Coast (some real hidden gems for dog walks off the lead). We spent 2 days exploring Newquay (Fistral Beach is busy but well-organised and has parking right next to the bay). We also visited Towan Beach and the two adjoining bays. Holywell Bay was the choice find, parking in the NT car park (free for members or £4 for up to 4 hours). Newquay is approximately 20 minutes away. I don't know what Kellie & Craig have planned for improvement but I don't think there's much room to do it any better than they already do! Well done Kellie & Craig hopefully we will get back again soon.

FAQ

Check-in is from 1pm-5pm and you must vacate your pitch before 11am on day of departure.

Yes, well behaved dogs are welcome here, provided they are kept on a lead whilst onsite. Par Sands (9.3 miles) nearby is dog friendly all year.

Both BBQs and fire pits are available to hire directly from the site - open campfires are not permitted.

The beach at Porthpean (5.5 miles) is just a short drive away with incredible coastal views looking out over Gerrans Bay, and with easy access to the South West Coast Path. The nearly two mile sandy stretch at Carlyon Bay (6.3 miles) is within easy driving distance too. Spend the day at Charlestown and wander through Poldark country on a visit to the picturesque Georgian harbour before heading to the beach - just five miles from the site! Other attractions within easy reach include: *Lost Gardens of Heligan (5.8 miles) - popular Cornish attraction set nearby Mevagissey with plenty of wildlife and history to explore. Dog friendly. *Eden Project (7.4 miles) - arguably Cornwall's most famous attraction, with beautiful gardens and an abundance of plantlife housed within the biomes here. *Mevagissey (8.7 miles) - a traditional Cornish fishing village with a working harbour and a selection of shops, cafes, pubs and more to try. *Truro (14.3 miles) - home of the tranquil Trelissick Garden and Royal Cornwall Museum. *Lanhydrock (20.3 miles) - stunning Victorian country house with stunning gardens and no less than 50 rooms to explore!

Awnings, gazebos and pup tents are permitted. These must fit within your pitch and can only be used for storage.


The area is blessed with so many beautiful beaches! One highlight amongst many is Par Sands which is enormous, sandy and dog friendly at any time of year.

And once you've shaken the sand from your towel you might like to try a round of golf in St Austell or a wonderful day out at the famous Eden Project.

If you're a fan of the TV show, have a go at spotting Ross Poldark in Charlestown harbour (if you're lucky!) which is around five miles from this base.

Other great spots to try include:

  • The Eden Project is only 7.4 miles away
  • The Lost Gardens Of Heligan at only 5.7 miles
  • Mevagissey fishing village 8.7 miles
  • The cathedral city of Truro 14 miles
  • Boskell horse riding centre 4.4 miles
  • Porthpean Beach swimming and water sports 5.6 miles
  • Carlyon Bay 6.3 miles

It's up to you to do as much or as little as you want!
