About the site

Set within just under five acres of peaceful Cornish countryside, this park offers a retreat with easy access to the region's sandy beaches.

There are 12 non electric grass pitches (8m x 8m), bordered by hedges for added privacy and suitable for tents, trailer tents, roof tents, caravans, and campervans. The park also offers 38 serviced grass pitches (8m x 8m) with 10 amp electric hook ups, along with an extra large serviced grass pitch (18m x 8m) for those wanting additional space. For caravans, campervans, and motorhomes, seven serviced hardstanding pitches are available with 10 amp electric hook ups, while premium fully serviced hardstanding pitches include awning space. Dogs are warmly welcomed onsite, and there is even an enclosed exercise area for them to enjoy. BBQs are permitted for al fresco dining, provided they are raised off the ground.
