Situated in the picturesque Cornish countryside, 20 minutes to the Eden Project
Ideally located in the heart of north Cornwall, this family friendly site is an ideal base for exploring all this picturesque part of the UK has to offer. Within 30 minutes of both coastlines, and just 20 minutes from the famous Eden Project, it will be hard to pick where to go for your next day trip! The site wants to ensure everyone can unwind as much as possible, so instead of uniform rows, there are just 18 spaces, spread over four camping areas. Six of the grass pitches come without electric, these are for tents only measuring a spacious 7m x 5m and allowing up to six guests. For those wanting an electric hook up, there are a further six grass pitches which come with a 10 amp hook up. These are a generous 10m x 10m, set on a slightly sloping part of the site with tents, trailer tents and caravans with up to five guests welcome. There are also hardstanding pitches, each with an electric hook up. These pitches allow trailer tents and tourers, with the choice of grass and hardstanding, either 7m x 6m with 6 amp or 10m x 8m with 10 amp, along with simple 10m x 6m hardstanding pitches with 10 amp. Your base is also a haven for wildlife that will be perfect for nature lovers. It's true woodland camping in a rural space - with secluded pitches. For glampers, there are a great range of camping and glamping pods that offer warmth, a brilliantly hassle-free stay and even the option to have an ensuite. There are two simple camping pods, each allowing up to two adults and two children. These are simple wooden structures where you have to bring everything but the tent. One also includes electric! If you want to pack a little lighter, opt for one of the four glamping Wigwam pods that allow up to five guests. These include memory foam mattresses on benches that become seating, a fridge, kettle, microwave, electric heating and free WiFi. There are also two ensuite glamping pods that offer a slice of luxury. Inside you will have underfloor heating, along with a lounge area, a proper double bed, a sofa bed for two, WiFi and a TV. For cooking, there is a kitchenette with a fridge, sink, microwave and kettle, along with a dining table. Your ensuite will include just a loo, with shared showers nearby. Outside both the Wigwams and ensuite pods you will also have a deck area with a picnic table, great for al fresco dining. Please note, bedding and linen are not provided. If you want to enjoy a spot of cooking, BBQs are welcome, just please ensure they are raised from the ground. Open fires are prohibited. This is a pet free site, so dogs are not allowed, sorry.
