About the site


A rural campsite perfect for anyone wanting to explore both Cornwall's countryside and coastlines. With views out towards the Lizard Peninsula, you'll feel relaxed and at ease during your stay. There are a range of different size grass pitches for tents and campervans, some of which come with electric hook up, with a select few of the extra large grass touring pitches also coming with water hook up and drainage.

A note from the site themselves...

Elysian fields was a family home but when our children left we wanted to open a campsite that we could be proud of as a family. We often took our children away camping and wanted to put on our site what we would have had on our wish list.

Quality was always our goal and a relaxing family site where you could know that the children are safe and can play together, add on a bar, a shop and a peaceful atmosphere.



Elysian Fields is ideal for...

Couples

Older children (13+)

Peace and quiet

Rallies

Young children

Lovely site but very noisy

Large Tent - Large Non-Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2024

Lovely site but very noisy but could not recommend. The campsite itself is great. Great pitches, great location and great facilities. However, during the time we camped here, there was a large group that brought along a huge speaker and a small bouncy castle. They played their music really loud for the best part of the day and past 10pm, on one night, all the way through till 1:30. Complaints were made but nothing changed. It felt like the rules actually stood for nothing as there was no one enforcing them. 2 families by us left early because of them, which is a shame because the weather was perfect. Quite pricey for a stay at such a noisy campsite.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I am the owner and every night I do try and enforce quiet times, (either myself or a member of our staff listen and go to the tents that are noisy). On several occasions in the past few weeks I have been to speak with noisy campers, sadly at times they blatantly ignore me. Sadly we cannot physically throw them off our site. However we do remember names and do not take bookings again from them.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2025

Lots of space - tents not crammed in. Limited hours for shop meant we did not use it. Problem with drains in the shower block for part of our stay, showers nearly always dirty, although it was a luxury having private toilet / shower in one 'unit'. Outdoor sinks exposed and always dirty with dust, people do not keep clean.

A real Cornish gem

VW-Type Campervan - Large Electric Grass Touring PitchesJun 2025

We arrived and we were greeted by Kelly who explained the facilities and then showed us to our pitch. The pitch was level, and grass was short so no soggy walk to the showers. The facilities are the best I've encountered by a long way. The showers are amazing; the toilets are spotless, and the onsite shop has most of the things you'd need for a stay at a campsite. We found everyone that works here friendly and helpful. There are bus stops in Breage which is about 5 to 10 minutes' walk should you need to use public transport. We had a really lovely chat with Jackie on our last evening and realised we had so much in common. All in all I would recommend a stay here. Cornwall is lovely and so are the people.

Site's response
