 Fabulous. Very expensive but almost worth every penny.
The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. I thought ‘I like this place’ even before we got to our pitch which was a generous size of well kept grass.
Levelling blocks are required on most pitches but we’re not too fussy and managed without. Our pitch was closest to the access road so there was a little road noise but not intrusive. Bathroom facilities are faultless.
Inconsiderate dog owners were prevalent during our stay with dogs dumping on our pitch on two occasions - grrr. Children’s play area is excellent but too near my pitch for relaxing evenings - not a gripe, just an observation.
Bus to Mevagissey goes from Lost Gardens car park and was less than £3. Taxi back at 10pm was £9.

We both liked this site and the facilities are very nice, no complaints there. There are lovely views across to the sea when there's nobody else in the way, as the layout is quite densely packed. It can feel a bit claustrophobic when the site is full. The site shop is not really a shop, it's just a few bits and pieces kept in the reception area, very limited.
I would say that barely any of the pitches are level, quite the opposite. The whole site is very hilly. I had to have my wheel jack wound up about 4 inches to get level.
There aren't many water taps and it's quite a hike for some further down than we were, although I would have liked one a bit nearer than it was. There's only one bin area/Elsan point/grey waste disposal point for the whole site and it's quite a big site. There are not any fully serviced pitches.
Do not bother with the chargeable WI-FI, it is very slow, they give you a 30 min free trial thankfully. Download speeds in order of barely 3-5Mb/s are all you'll get and it would have cost £40! for our two devices for 14 nights due to their clever price packaging. I'm on 3 mobile and my wife is on Vodafone, there is barely any coverage but just enough on a good night (with the window open), but not every night, for some gentle streaming on Youtube or whatever if you're lucky. I can see why you might think the WI-FI is worth buying if you hadn't checked it out beforehand.
Also, I did not appreciate the fun tax of £25. 05, that consisted of a compulsory Booking Fee of £8. 25 and a Cancellation Scheme fee of £16. 80 which was applied at check out. It should be optional. That is sharp practice.
All that aside, the grass is very well kept and it's very clean and tidy.

Great location for walking and cycling with a good bus service to Mevagissy and St Austell.
Facilities spotless, and I mean spotless. Pitches could be bigger, I don't like parking on grass, but were adequate for our large caravan.
Quiet site although some owl sounds were heard at night.
Very short walk to the Lost Gardens and Farmshop.

Absolutely loved the site. Great pitches, great facilities and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are right there.
Only quibble is the cost for dogs. There is a warm dog wash. But, this is just a hosepipe with a spray on the ground.
Lots of poo bins, but it's a public right of way too

Lovely site, right next to the lost gardens with own pedestrian access (and discounted admission!). Also easy access to great cycle paths to the coast (beware, it is pretty steep coming back at the end of the day though!). Excellent farm shop next door as well.
Campsite was welcoming with friendly reception staff, and VERY clean very modern facilities, which were more than adequate during our stay (rarely met anyone else in them, but would no doubt be different in high season). Very good price for our off season visit.
Very few downsides at all, though facilities maybe a little too modern and trendy for camping use (Don't like sinks sitting on surfaces, and shower sensors a bit tempremental), but a minor gripe overall). Would definitely visit again.

Nice warm welcome. We were shown directly to the pitch. Gravel and grass both sides. Fabulous views of the distant sea.
Lovely countryside. Cattle, horses and sheep in the fields. Load of crows which oddly didn't wake us up.
You can walk down to Mevagissey and I believe bus it back or Taxi. We didn't risk it as we have been isolating for so long the old legs wouldn't carry us that far.
The site is situated next door to the Lost Gardens and Lobbs Farm Shop. This sold lots of nice goodies. You can also access the cafe / restaurant we didn't as we didn't know this prior to our booking so stocked up en route and in the farm shop.
No nasty narrow roads, just slow down when you see the sign for the campsite. Whooosh it's upon you very quickly!
The site itself is 1st class. Spotless everywhere. Private cubicles including a shower and toilets combined. Lovely. Washing up, fabulous drying room and laundry.
I do believe they had a bike store. A mix of tents, mobile homes, chalets, caravans and of course motorhomes of all sizes.
100% relaxing and our first time in a MH.

Very well organised site in immaculate condition. Facilities spotless and operators seem to place you to suit your needs.
We were placed close to relatives who hired a static and on a lovely quiet corner of the site.
Perfect for Heligan Gardens which is literally through a gate at the end of the site.
Great views and plenty to do in the area. A few isolated beaches can be found if you are prepared to walk a bit.
Very nice overall

We had a great pitch on this site, not sloping.
We ended up in the Gardens car park as I was totally confused by signage but hey ho it is literally next door through a gate.
Liked the site as well maintained and quiet despite being quite big.
Lovely clean facilities, nothing to complain about.

Very mixed feelings about this site. Extremely badly signed (satnav not much use) but so convenient for the Gardens (when you find it!). Good value at £18. 80 pn. The facilities block was new and pristine.
As others have said the whole site slopes, quite a lot in some instances. The views are good (until someone is placed below you on the slope and fills their pitch with a car, a tent and a windbreak!).
We were initially allocated pitch 79. This is part of a small group (71-79) round the back of reception next to a couple of statics, the wardens' van and some cars. Like a car park. Not at all pleasant so we asked to change. Only one pitch was available and only for one night but we did change knowing we would need to be back on 79 the next morning. What we didn't need was a phone call at 9.00 am followed by a visit at 9.30 "reminding" us we had to move.
The adjacent Gardens are lovely and well worth a visit.
However, there was no local information or maps or brochures at all on site and the wardens seemed ill-informed.
As it happens we discovered from a bus driver (there is a bus stop inside the entrance to the gardens) that at 9. 30 each day there is a shuttle from that stop to the Eden Project. This arrives just after 10. 00 and from there, you can, at around 10.30, catch a range of buses to Newquay, Mevagissey, Charlestown, Fowey, Polperro and Padstow.
These then leave the chosen resort in mid-afternoon, returning to Eden and then by shuttle back to Heligan. This information would have been so very useful when planning the trip or when we arrived but we discovered it by pure chance and feel the site should have been able to provide this and other information.
As I said at the start - very mixed feelings hence the gradings.
