About the site
Multi-award winning camping and touring site, including the Cornwall Tourism Gold Award for Camping and Caravan Park, this family site has plenty to offer.
From the moment you receive that warm welcome from site owners Neil and Annette the relaxation begins. There's everything you need from modern facilities to a children's play area and playing fields to keep the kids entertained for hours on end. While you kick back and take in the breathtaking views.
The hardest decision you'll make is which pitch to choose. There are non electric grass pitches, electric grass pitches and fully serviced grass or hardstanding pitches to choose from. The electric hook ups are 16 amp, and fully serviced pitches come with the addition of fresh waters taps and waste drainage. The hardstandings even come with added privacy and shelter with hedges on three sides.
Perfect location to explore the delights of the West Cornwall peninsula. The bustling seaside town of St Ives is just two miles away, with a regular bus service running from the campsite entrance, or why not take a leisurely hour long walk along the South West Coast Path.
A large selection of the pitches also allow up to two dogs each for an additional cost, just please ensure they remain on the lead.
Both gas and charcoal BBQs are permitted just please ensure they remain off the ground. Campfires and fire pits are not permitted.

Great campsite.
Facilities were impeccable, so clean and well kept. Easy drive to St Ives and the bus service into St Ives if you didn't want to drive and park is a great touch.
Staff upon check in were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Super quiet location, well maintained.
100% would recommend.

Could not fault this site - everything was perfect.
The location is a little bit far out of St Ives for a walk there and back, but the coast path route down into St Ives is an absolute must. The views are something to behold! It's not too difficult at all - especially in dry conditions which we were lucky enough to have. Took us about 40 mins and that included some stops for photos because you just can't help yourself, it's so beautiful!
We were a little early in the season for the campsite bus to be regularly running (just one trip each way per day at the start of the season) however, the site information explains that Ace Taxis in St Ives run a preferential rate for the campsite guests. We took a taxi back on one of the days after completing the coastal walk down and were charged £8.50 instead of £12, which would have been the usual rate (although a Taxi driver did try to rip us off by charging £11.50 instead of the £8.50 which we had been advised at the office when we walked in to book the Taxi and we did hear the lady in the office book it in at this price with the driver - so that was a bit naughty of him - but I stuck to my guns and insisted on the original £8.50). Anyway...
The facilities at this site are the best we have ever come across and the pitches are lovely, with hedges for shelter and privacy. We loved the enclosed dog exercise area which although small was enough for a safe run about for our 4 year old lurcher in between venturing further away on day trips. The staff are super friendly and the surrounding countryside and nearby St Ives absolutely stunning!
We didn't have kids with us, but just for information purposes, there's a great playpark for youngsters and a fab games room for older kids and teens.
There's nothing here not to love and we will certainly be back.

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches (Pet Free)Sep 2024
Beautiful site, facilities spotless. The bus to St Ives made it easy to get into town, no hassle with parking and cheaper, depending on how long you stay, obviously. The Wi-Fi was mainly ok, some buffering at times.
