About the site
This family run and family friendly site offers an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway near the sea. You can find the sandy Gunwalloe Beach only a 35 minute walk (5 minute drive) away, and attractions like the Cornish Seal Sanctuary are also within a ten minute drive for days out. The site offers 40 electric and non electric grass and hardstanding pitches with the option of electric hook up for tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans, motorhomes and RVs. The electric pitches range in size from small, medium and large, starting at 5m x 12m up to 15m x 17m. The site also has six medium electric hardstanding pitches. These measure 9m x 13m, have access to 16 amp electric hook ups and are suitable for tents, trailer tents, campervans, caravans and motorhomes. There is a little shop onsite selling local produce, milk, eggs, bacon, sausages, tins, bread, ice creams and also freshly brewed coffees and teas. There is also a small supply of camping and cleaning equipment, logs, kindling, and gas bottles. The ancient town of Helston is only ten minutes away, full of pubs, shops, restaurants and more. A short walk from Helston is Loe Pool, the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall - a must-visit! The site is well placed for coastal walks, being just a 30 minute walk from the South West Coast Path. Keen hikers should tackle the walk to Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula, which takes roughly three hours. Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on leads and supervised at all times unless in the enclosed dog walking/exercise area, where they can be off lead. BBQs and fire pits are permitted but must be raised off the ground and attended at all times. You can purchase wood and kindling, and hire BBQs and fire pits.
