About the site
This is a small, peaceful site proudly recognised with a Silver Green Tourism Award, surrounded by wild Cornish countryside and open farmland. There is a beautiful two acre coarse fishing lake too, ideal for keen anglers! The 15 non electric grass pitches are located on a two acre field which overlooks the lake. The site operates on a "choose where you want to pitch" basis for tents and trailer tents, with each pitch allowing up to six guests. There are also woodland pitches suitable for tents or hammocks with no vehicle access. If glamping is more your style, opt for a stay in one of the cosy bell tents. The 5m standard tents include a king size bed and bedding, plus the option of two single air beds. There is also a low level table, a mirror, one rechargeable lantern, bunting, a door mat, a rug and a fire pit for evenings in the open. There is also the option of a basic bell tent, which has four air beds, you will need to bring everything else with you, including bedding and bed linen. Or you could opt for the luxury furnished lakeside bell tents. These 5m bell tents come with beds configured to your request, as well as bedding, towels and a fully equipped camp kitchen with a gas stove. Outside you will find a BBQ, fire pit and picnic bench- the perfect set up for that al fresco dining experience! While on site, you can enjoy lakeside nature walks and fishing. The fishing lake, which can be booked onsite at an extra cost, is home to Common Carp (up to 20lb), Mirror Carp (up to 17lb), and Ghost Carp (up to 10lb). As well as Roach, Rudd and Bream. Canine companions can also join you for your stay, with up to two pups permitted per pitch and in the bell tents. Campers are also welcome to bring along their own BBQ or fire pit for toasting marshmallows, just please ensure to keep them raised from the ground.
