We stayed here on our first trip to Cornwall, driving to a different location each day. We liked this campsite so much we stayed an extra night! It is extremely good value for money in comparison to what we paid for other places, where the facilities weren't nearly as good. The showers were hot & clean. Toilets spacious & clean. They had a breakfast van each morning & different food vans some evenings (burgers, pizza, crepes etc). There was a tap for drinking water, wetsuit wash, freezer for ice packs. This site just seemed to go the extra mile & have all those little extra bits. The staff were all friendly, asked us & the children if we were enjoying ourselves every time they saw us. We will definitely return next year! Thank you for a lovely stay! Xx

This is a little gem of a site, well managed with really helpful owners. The reception sells essentials, there is a pizza van on Tuesdays, burgers on Thursdays and crepes on Saturdays. Plus every morning, the waves breakfast van is great value. Good size pitches and a very relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely be returning.

Great place to camp. Flat ground and good sized pitches. The toilets and showers are the cleanest I've ever experienced when camping. Plenty of them too, no queuing! Good dish washing facilities and a large freezer for ice packs. We love the basic sites with no bars/entertainment, it means getting out and exploring the surrounding area, and we weren't disappointed. There are beautiful beaches, it was like being abroad! Lots of other local attractions too. Owners were very welcoming and helpful. Happily upgraded us to a camping pod when I was in pain with my back after a few nights in our tent. We will definitely go back, might treat ourselves to a Shepherd's hut next time! Prices are very reasonable.

Big pitches and lots of hot water in showers. Liked the fact there was also a sink in the shower. Kept very clean. They were spotless. Would have liked a dog walking area as the road was extremely busy and had no pavements and somewhere to tie the dog when using toilet etc. But realise this may not be practical and they don't charge for dogs so that was a bonus. Peaceful site with plenty of room. It wasn't full when we went.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are glad that you found our showers hot and spotlessly clean and had plenty of room. Although we are not able to provide dog walking areas, we can for the future provide somewhere for people to tie their animals. Fortunately for you up until now we have not charged for dogs, but we will in the future make a small charge of Β£1 per day per dog. Despite this, we hope you will return in the future.

Quiet clean campsite with great showers. Short drive to beach. Spacious pitches and lots of space for kids to play etc. For a small charge you can hire a fire pit with everything you need to sit round the fire. Very efficiently run..the owners seemed to have thought of everything you might need. Breakfast van available if you want and some nights also a pizza van.

Friendly owners and very clean facilities. My partner and I were really impressed with the cleanness of the showers and loos. Plus, we didn't have an electric pitch so the communal freezer was super useful! Would definitely stay again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at The Old Stables. Staff are lovely and welcoming the site is clean and spacious for all. The facilities were kept spotless at all times and the showers were amazing. This place was bang in the middle of places with a town just a 5-10 min drive away and the beach less than 5 min drive. I will be looking to stay here again. Thank you for making our first visit to Cornwall memorable.

Stayed in a pod with my 16 yr old. The Pod was clean and well positioned. It has a picnic table outside and a small seating area with pull out table then a raised bed platform with a mattress, which was really comfortable.There was lots of storage both under the bed and under the benches in the eating area and there is a little patio area between the pod and the picnic table, which stops any muck getting into the pod. We stayed when it was hot and the pod was lovely and cool. We heard no noise from other campers. The site itself is really well looked after. The toilets,showers and washing up area are immaculate.There is also a large freezer for campers use. We had a lovely pizza van visit whilst we were there which we made use of. There is also a breakfast van which looked lovely and homemade cakes. Overall a magnificent site which we will visit again.

We stayed in Smudges Hut. It was a good size and clean. The double bed and futons were comfortable, and it was well appointed with 4 double sockets, electric lights, two stools, table and coat hooks. There is also a picnic bench with parasol. A short walk from the toilets and showers. There is a freezer for ice blocks on site.

We had a lovely welcome from Jayne and Mike and were handed a very useful tourist pack on arrival. The site is situated in an ideal location, everywhere is easily accessible. The toilets and shower blocks were always clean and toilets were never without loo roll. The breakfast van was great, food delivered to the tent! The only problem with our visit was the weather, we came home a day early as we didn't fancy the 70mph winds!!
Site's response
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It's great that you felt you had a warm welcome and that you found the tourist pack handy, the food van great and the loo rolls plentiful π. It is a a shame that the winds shortened your stay, but hopefully won't put you off visiting again in the future. Although the 70mph is rare, we do sometimes get winds, so advise all campers to invest in some heavy duty tent pegs for extra security. Jayne and Mike.

Lovely campsite, great location for exploring Cornwall only 20-30 mins from Lands End, St Michaels Mount, Penzance and St Ives. Campsite was clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We stayed in Rosie one of the glamping pods and it was beautiful, very comfortable and plenty of space. Will definitely stay here again when we are in Cornwall.

This campsite was ideally situated as the bus stop was a short walk away which you could take the bus to Hayle, St Ives and Penzance. The beach is only a 1.5 miles away and there is plenty of room for everyone. The campsite is level and the pitches have plenty of space for all your outdoor furniture needs. The owners are very welcoming and helpful when it comes to local knowledge and places to visit. We had a wonderful week and are looking forward to visiting again soon.

Absolutely fantastic stay. The site owners are so friendly and helpful. The improvements since our last stay are incredible. The toilets and showers are so very well maintained at all times, clean and tidy. The washing up area, the availability to freeze your ice packs and the donation area for non-perishables. It was great to have the electric hook up this time. Given it was fairly busy, the site was very peaceful. The location is great for us as I have friends who are local and we were within easy reach of the fabulous Cornish coastline beaches. Ooh, and the added bonus of the on-site breakfast van and visiting pizza van! Just superb. Thank you Jayne and Mike, we look forward to a return visit.
