The site offers pitches for both tents and tourers across level hardstandings with an adjoining grass area. Each pitch measures either 9m x 9m or 9m x 12m and is equipped with a 10 amp electric hook up. Please note that tents must be pitched on the hardstanding. There is also a range of static caravans available, boasting modern interiors and sleeping up to six guests. Younger children can enjoy the playground with a zip wire, while older ones will love the games room with arcade games, a pool table and air hockey.

Owned and run by a Cornish family, the friendly owners are always on hand to offer local advice and tips for your days out. Don't forget to visit the iconic Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project, both within a 15 minute drive. Up to two dogs are welcome per pitch, with a dedicated dog paddock for them to enjoy, as well as plenty of nearby walks.
