Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Lovely field with sea views near Falmouth and all that has to offer. Nicola was a welcoming host. Facilities were just ok: toilets and showers had hot water but were only cleaned twice in the week we stayed and dish washing sinks had only cold water. Electricity hook-ups available and Small Playground for kids. There is an indoor space if it's raining and a washing machine and fridge freezer but they are in the ladies' toilets. Laundrette was installed but not working.

Lovely

Second time on this campsite. We love it. Lovely views, kind owners, good facilities. Also a building where you can rest and play when it is raining. Hope to come back again.

Amazing, definitely returning!

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

A lovely place to stay. Quiet, well-equipped and stunning views. We stayed here because we were meeting up with my brothers at Helford Passage, which was a nice 20-minute bike ride away. There is a really good local shop in Mawnan Smith (fantastic pasties) and some excellent walks direct from the site. Can't recommend it enough.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

We stayed for 4 days at this campsite. The facilities were clean, nice showers and toilets, with friendly staff. The views on this campsite are truly stunning, it's a lovely peaceful site in a great area to go and explore what Cornwall has to offer. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this site.

Amazing campsite

Really good campsite, friendly owners and the showers were really clean!! In a good location as well, as you get a view of the ocean.

Thank you for a lovely visit

Very basic site

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

Unfortunately, very basic facilities did not equate with cost per night. Dark but clean toilets. Showers required button to be pressed every 8 seconds or so, and the water temp was just warm enough during good weather. Litter around site which I picked up. Bin area not emptied enough. Washing up sinks only had cold water. Chemical toilet waste area was gross, just a lid on floor that had to be lifted and it was covered in waste.

Wonderfully wild and simple

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Beautiful site and lovely and quiet, with the exception of the sheep who woke us at 4.30am because they had overnighted outside of tents. We are farmers ourselves and whilst we have no issues with sheep or them being in close proximity, we did not appreciate the early morning wake up on our weekend away with the children. I might suggest fencing them in better in the field they are supposed to reside.

Great!

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

This site is about location location, location! The Seaview can't be better. The walk down to Maenporth beach was easy going and pretty. Only downside were the sheep wandering about. Not great to come back from a walk to find the sheep have wiped themselves up the side of your van and your chairs.

Love this pjace

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

This campsite has potential to be extremely good, some things at the moment are still under construction. The showers are good but a little small with only hooks to put towels and clothes on so that clothes and shoes become wet when you take a shower (a bench seat would help). I prefer cubicles with wash basin, toilet and shower in one place and privacy to clean teeth etc. Also a dog walk or field would help. The field had a lot of sheep droppings which were a bit off putting. Not sure that anything could be done about this as I know this is a working farm. I would stay again and my review is in no way meant to be a complaint but more of an observation to help improve the site.

Had a lovely time

Had a lovely time but showers were a little annoying. After 5 seconds of pushing the button to turn it on, the water stops.

Backpacker Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Brilliant campsite, a little bit of a drive to Falmouth, but hey what can you do? Very busy over the weekend, possibly need more toilets and shower. Other than that, brilliant.

Cracking views to wake up to

Small Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Some of the best views of any site I have been to ever. Two minor niggles. The shower push button interval is annoyingly short, please can you increase the duration of the interval needed to reactivate the flow? Also please put up a sign to inform where the freezers are presently located. Men will not look in the entrance of the Female Toilet/Shower Block, it's the last place they would expect to find them, I am assuming they will move to the communal area as the season ramps up? Other than that all good!

Great campsite, beautiful, quiet, good toilets and sinks

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Very good. All clean and a beautiful site. I just wish the shower stayed on longer as it was hard to keep pressing when showering as the button was off to the side but that was only minor. Overall, it was brilliant.

Perfect for what we wanted

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

Fantastic site that met all our needs! Amazing views, very peaceful - couldn't recommend it more. The only small downside was the showers that only stayed on for 2 seconds after you pressed the button (which we found very frustrating). For future camper's comfort, please fix this! 10/10 would stay again!

Lovely site in great location

Lovely, grassy campsite in a field overlooking Falmouth with views of the sea. Friendly staff. Could do with more showers and washing up facilities but it looks as though this is being addressed with a new building.
