Medium Tent - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric) Jul 2023

We picked this location due to the proximity to the beach and to visit other areas, you could see the sea from a high up pitch and the walk was easy to a lovely beach with café and a local bar on route. We had a nice time but I think the fact it was so much more money than our other stays makes me question what for? The pizza takeaway is only open 1-2 months of the year and we assumed in summer it would be. Same with the bar but honestly, it felt that even the shop was never open. There was a Thai takeaway, but not on the nights we stayed but the Lizard was a short drive with pubs and fish and chip options. We ended up having to pay a lot for electric and even showers are charged 50p for 5 minutes and the first minute is cold. Lots of signs asking to save water but all the washing up sinks leaked. Toilets were clean and was nice to have radio on all the time but they only had one toilet block open during our stay so that was really annoying long walk, especially during the night when we should of had one near our pitch. We got to pick our pitch and it was really nice that we got to be pretty much by ourselves, especially as there were lots of other people getting drunk and loud some nights. You can park next to your pitch so that's great for unloading and days out. It is a very windy campsite so I highly recommend windbreakers as cooking was a test of skill at times but all part of the experience. There were plenty of picnic benches which was really nice to cook and eat on. Shame that there was not one place to dispose of recycling so everything had to go in general waste. Otherwise nice laid out area and birds wondering about the site.

Lovely site

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric) Jun 2023

Chy Carne - lovely clean site and our pitch had a marvellous sea view! 20 minutes walk to Kennac Sands and a 45 minutes walk to Cadgwick Cove along the breathtaking views of the coastal path. There is a bus stop right outside the campsite which we used for the bus to Lizard Point. Helston is also handy for shopping.

Peaceful location

Motorhome - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric) Jun 2023

Limited facilities, but great if you just want peace and quiet with access to good dog walking and dog-friendly beaches. Staff very welcoming too. Be prepared you do need 50p for the showers etc, but free Wi-Fi is available.

Everything is perfect

VW-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric) Aug 2022

What a great run campsite. Really loved it here and didn't want to go home. It was only a short walk to the beautiful beach with a great atmosphere at camp with live entertainment. It was brilliant, will definitely be going back.

Large Tent - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric) Aug 2022

We had a lovely few days here. Pitch was large enough and well mapped out. We had the luxury of perfect weather and enjoyed a nice relaxing break. Everyone was super friendly and the staff always had smiles and were happy to chat. The pizzas were lovely and a nice change from cardboard chips and oily fish. Although the shop was small it stocked pretty much everything needed, and prices were as you'd expect from a campsite. The laundry facilities were fine and the showers were clean and well maintained. We had a drink at the pub round the corner which was on the way to the beach, which was lovely (we didn't actually make the beach!) lol, there was plenty to do in and around the area with just short drives. Overall we would definitely go back as we had such a lovely relaxing time.
