Set 1 ½ miles back from coast but at elevated position (100m) the site affords magnificent views over St Austell Bay and surrounding coastal countryside and villages.
The site comprises large grass pitches in a South facing terraced field. The facilities block is functional and clean but basic with no heating, but with site fees are only £ 15. 00/night (cash or cheque - only). Various breeds of chickens roam freely around the site (no problems with bird poo due to the size of the site). Owners have set aside on large paddock for exercising dogs that proved very convenient due to lack of public footpaths in the immediate area.
Nearest convenience shop, takeaway and pub is 300m from site at St Blazey Gate along fairly busy country lane (Luxulyan Road). Heading North for ½ mile the lane take you directly to the Eden Project which offers a £4.00/person discount if you visit on foot or bike!
Peaceful location and an ideal base for visiting the Eden Project.
Just got back from 2 weeks at Doubletrees, what a fantastic site.
The Owner Sue runs the place with her dad and they are Very Warm, friendly and helpful, just lovely.
The site is tiered with sea views and large pitches and well drained, in fact the best pitches we have ever had, I would go so far as to say the best campsite we have been to. Prices are really good too. The toilet block is kept very clean and there was always hot water no matter what time of day you wanted a shower. There are 4 showers and 4 toilets and a large toilet and sink for mums and tots or people needing a little extra room, in the ladies. The Laundry room has sinks for hand washing, a washing machine and dryer, all easy to use. Sinks for washing up are under cover so you stay nice and dry if bad weather. The campsite is quiet during the day and at night all is quiet from 10-10. 30, which is wonderful, so you get a good nights sleep. There were chickens roaming freely (with babies) whilst we were there which was lovely. There is plenty of space for children to play safely.
The site is 15-25 mins walk from The Eden Project depending on your pace, the route is along the country road then via a footpath and comes out right opposite Eden. The other direction is the local village only about 5-10mins walk and you have a chippy, shop for basics and a pub, which serve the best chips ever. There is an Asda and Tesco not far away and if you want Sainsburys then Truro is about 20-25 mins away.
We had a wonderful 2 weeks and found that it was close enough to get to the main roads to visit all parts of Cornwall, we went as far as Lands End and up as far as Tintagel/Crackington Haven. Locally there is Fowey, Mevagissey, Charlestown, Porthbean beach is the closest which is great, with cheap parking at £3 per day or £2 after 2pm, there is a steepish hill down to beach which has toilets and cafe, which is resonably priced. Rocks pools galore so don't forget your net and bucket, mix of sand and pebbles and no sudden drops in the water, so great for little ones.
Port Issac is worth a visit, fab little place, and Minack Theatre is spectacular. Heligan gardens aren't far away and are really lovely, and if you like mazes check out Glendurgan Gardens.
All in all a great site and position. Highly recommend this site and we will definitely be going again.
Warm friendly welcome. Only a few staying so given choice of pitch. Site as described. Lovely clean facilities, little chilly in showers, but it was very cold and windy when we stayed. We rarely stay at any site twice, as like variety, but would definitely go back to this one. Couldn't fault it. Local pub served good food and cheaper before 6pm. Very close to eden project, but wouldn't recommend walking as no pavements, even though you get a discount for walking !
What a find! What a little bit of heaven. We felt that we were privileged to be sharing the owners special bit of Cornwall. Lovely terraced sites with a beautiful view. Bus stop 300yds down the road enabled us to visit Fowey and Mevagissey. We could have walked to the Eden Project. Clean toilets and showers and the owners always to be seen cleaning and gardening and just being generally friendly. A large field to run the dog in just made everyones stay perfect. There is a pub down the road, a convenience store and a garage also a chinese takeaway. I really hope we can come back.
Stayed here for 5 nights. Very nice friendly owner.
Had pitch up on a slope with amazing sea view. It's a quiet site with no entertainment/play area. This was one of my reasons for picking this site I mostly wanted a quiet base to explore Cornwall another one being close to the Eden Project.
The toilet block is practical and clean as is the kitchen area.
A convenience store is at the bottom of the road also a chip shop and chinese take-away.
A small south facing camping and caravanning site situated on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor near Liskeard, Cornwall with views over surrounding countryside. Two areas for tents, caravans and motorhomes with hardstanding or grass pitches, with or without electric hook ups. Glamping at Fursdon includes 3 stunning Pods, an authentic Shepherds Hut, as well as a fantastic communal cooking and social area.
Superb facilities including toilets, showers and laundry, site wide WIFI, designated dog-walking area, reception area and small shop and an electric vehicle charging point. Ideally situated for access to beaches and moorland in Cornwall and west Devon! Find out more here
A friendly welcome, clean and spacious site with excellent facilities. And at a fantastic price too - £20 per night incl EHU was the cheapest we paid all week.
Not quite the 2 minute walk to the Eden Project that's advertised but certainly no more than 10 and not too hilly which meant no grumbling from the kids.
The local pub, a petrol garage and a chinese takeaway were all within a 3 minute walk of the site. The pub was welcoming to us and the children and the grub was fine. The garage stocked all the basic provisions we needed and the chinese food was still warm when we by the time we got it back to our campervan.
All in all a great little site with lovely views and perfect location for the Eden Project (which gives a fair discount plus free kids entry for those who have walked or biked to the site).
Just returned home from a lovely long weekend at Doubletrees Farm, this was our 1st visit to the site and we were very impressed with the friendliness of Sue and her family, she always had time to stop for a chat and nothing was to much trouble. The site was on three areas with two areas being flat and a field that had a slight incline. The pitches were quite level and spacious. The ground was quite hard and the views over the river and sea were lovely. The toilet block was clean and suitable for all your needs. Hope to return in the near future.
My family (2 kids and husband) and I have just returned from a lovely 4 night stay on this site. It is ideally located for exploring cornwall, we had days out at Fistral Beach (about 45 minutes drive) and Carlyon Bay (about 10 minutes drive)there is a large Tesco and Asda within a 15 minute drive from the site for all the essentials. There isn't a shop on site but there is a garage at the bottom of the hill for emergency supplies.
There are plenty of leaflets on ideas for days out and Sue is more than helpful. I chose this site due the close proximity to the Eden Project so we could walk there (kids are free if you walk) and it is perfectly located to do this.
The toilet and shower facilities are very clean and hot water on demand, the washing facilities are also good
Most pitches have a sea view and during our visit we had a choice of several spots to choose from. There was a family pitched next to us and several other couples/groups however everyone was very quiet after about 9. 30pm and I never heard anyone before about 8. 30am which is a rarety for camping and a pleasure.
I would definitely recommend this site to others and I'm sure we will return again.
We are staying at this site as I speak, and cant believe how lovely this site really is. The web site has only two photos, which don't do justice to show the absolute beauty of the site, and of the panoramic views over St Austell Bay, from Gribbins Head round the bay to Par Beach and over Par Town, from every pitch on site. It has everything except a children play park, but with the amount of space provided in the fields of the farm, where you can see your little darlings running a muck, there shouldn't be a need for one, as they should be able to entertain themselves well enough.
The owner can be seen regularly around the site, but never intrudes unless its to wave a friendly good morning/day', and Ben the Farm Collie is a bundle of energy, tail wagging, and never stops running, never far from his master but never a problem. The site and facilities are manicured and pristine, maintained within an inch of its life, pitches all flat on a sloping, tiered hillside, convenient for everywhere, locally on foot, and in the county, being central.
There is nothing to comment on specifically as the standard is kept so high, except to say that the owners should be very proud of everything, and I would prefer to stay at this site, rather than any of the bigger sites, who are company owned and only interested in image and profit and packing as many units onto the site regardless. This is a family business, who take time to make your stay as good as it can get. Well worth every penny and more I believe, and the site should be respected for all it provides. We will be recommending this site, and singing its praises to everyone who enjoy high standard sites, and will always respect the facilities provided. Thankyou for providing our own piece of Eden for our 2 week stay, we will be back, hopefully very soon, and again and again in the long term future.
What a lovely welcome from the owner, toilets very clean and warm, showers very warm. The land is a true delight, flat. A basic field to walk your dog in, what more do you need. Local pub ( The Four Lords) really lovely meal served by great staff, dog welcome in pub ( provided on a lead) There is a Chinese take away, which was brilliant value for money. Local pertol station with shop and cash machine.
On a clear day you can see lovely views of the bay.
All in all we will be returning to this site.
