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!

A warm, friendly and informative welcome from Kellie. A beautifully presented and well equipped site.
There was a fantastic bar area and Craig's Cocktails are a must to finish your day. A superb and friendly atmosphere on site.
A good location for site seeing Cornwall. Thank you Craig & Kellie for a great 3 days.

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024
Absolutely amazing.
From the moment we arrived, Kerrie and Craig were amazing and made us feel so welcome. They even bent over backwards to let us stay an extra night because of the bad weather. We can't wait to go back.
Location and amenities are fantastic. We are already looking at our next dates and bringing our friends with us. We have found the perfect place to go and relax from our busy, busy lives. Thank you so much, can't wait to come back.
