About the site
Located in South West Cornwall, this family friendly campsite has everything you need for a great traditional camping experience. Situated only five minutes from Gwithian Beach, a surfer's paradise, and 20 minutes from St Ives, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to coastal spots! The site is home to a total of 41 grass pitches, all measuring 8m x 8m and allowing up to five guests. Tents, motorhomes and campervans are all welcome, with an electric grass pitch set aside for motorhomes too. Half of the pitches come with the benefit of their own 10 amp electric hook up, great for those still wanting to bring along their essential appliances like kettles and phone chargers. If you would rather leave the tent at home, opt for a stay in one of the cosy camping pods or shepherd's huts. The three barrel-shaped pods (Jade, Jasmin and Indy) can sleep up to two guests with a raised sleeping level and double mattress (accessed by a small step ladder). Bench seating and electric are also inside, with an outdoor picnic table for dining. Each of the shepherd's huts can sleep up to four with a double bed behind a curtain and two single futon beds. You will have a small dining table and chairs, plus electric and a picnic table. All glamping guests will need to bring along their own bedding, bed linen and cooking equipment. Shared campsite facilities can also be found nearby. The site provides fire pit hire for those chilly evenings, along with all of the supplies you will need. You can also bring along your own BBQ (just please ensure it is raised from the ground), and don't forget to try one of the delicious homemade cakes available to buy onsite too! Up to three dogs are welcome per pitch, but not in the provided accommodation, sorry. Do note, the fields around the site are home to a large amount of solar panels.

Our first visit to Cornwall, we couldn't ask for better campsite. Very quiet place, affordable and a short drive to all the attractions Cornwall has to offer. People were friendly and helpful. Tent plot was a generous size. Showers/toilets very clean. CCTV on site. Dogs welcome, quiet road nearby was perfect for a dog walk. Food truck on site - breakfast made to order. Homemade cakes available to buy. We all had a great time.
