Reviewer: JimandAnn 3 reviews from this member

 As many before have commented, a lovely site with a very friendly and helpful owner. The site is terraced and all pitches are flat. There is a great view out to the sea in beyond St Blazey. Toilet block is clean. Ladies well heated during our cold season visit, though the Gents was somewhat cooler.

The Four Lords PH down the lane has new (since Oct 2011) friendly publicans, Ashley, who does the cooking and Jill. They were busy finalising the new menu, but managed to sort out a very satisfying and reasonably priced dinner for us. Ordered a couple of his award winning pasties to pick up next morning. These were among the best of the several different versions we tried in our 2 week trip.

Well stocked garage shop next to pub, Chinese takeaway opposite - all 3 minutes walk. Bigger supermarkets in St Austell, 5 minutes by car.

We walked to Eden Project in 20 minutes. Had booked the site because of proximity to Eden, but intend returning on out next Cornwall trip because it is so nice and is in a good base to explore so much.

 WINTER CAMPING

2 people, tent, 1 car

£10pn

The view from this site is amazing!

The lady owner of this site is so friendly. She was very welcoming, giving us loads on information on the local area. She dropped the price to £10 from the normal £15 which is really appreciated when your doing a tour of britain on a budget.

She allowed us to have a bbq aslong as it was off the ground (lent us bricks) and she also said it was ok to throw a log on the fire later on (I don't think most sites would allow that)

They had hookups and water points all dotted around

Machine £3, dryer £1 per 30min

The toilets were cold. The radiator was on but no heat. I would describe the toilet/showers as the type you get in football changing rooms. Nothing wrong with that but nothing fancy like some we have stayed in. Hot water was nice. There was a plug in the girls which my partner could use to dry her hair

I would return to this site as it was cheap, good location and had most things you need.

The lady also allowed me to log onto her own private internet. How nice is that!

Brilliant pub. Britannia inn only 5 mins drive away

Eden project 2 mins drive

Reviewer: Jadsett 52 reviews from this member

 Spent 2 nights on site with the express intention of visiting Eden Project, which was a 20 minute walk away.

The site itself is very pleasant set on terraces on a hillside. Pitches very spacious and all with views to die for of St Austell bay. Worth a return visit just for the views!

Owners and staff very welcoming.

Small amenity block, kept very clean and the only minor criticism are the push-button showers which are almost on long enough to allow you to get damp!

Local amenities like the pub and filling station convenience store within easy walking distance; as is the bus stop. Although it seems that the St Austell buses are going to be re-routed along the coast road away from the site most of the time, so it will pay to have an alternative to public transport.

 My parents have visited this site for many years and as this was our first camping trip we decided we'd go there as we knew the site.

Lovely level pitches, and plenty of space. We had a sea view from ours which was a bonus!

The electric hook ups were too far for our lead to reach so we had to borrow an extension lead.

Facilities were nice and clean, although I found the showers a little too hot so couldn't use them for my young children.

Great location for exploring Cornwall, it is possible to walk to the beach, but really it's a 5 min drive.

Really great value for money, cost us £20 per night for 2 adults, 2 children and 1 dog.

Reviewer: Rotterdam0892 6 reviews from this member

 Directions to the campsite are good and helped further by signage on the road. Friendly reception. Quite a few more caravans than tents and it appears that some caravans are stored there for the winter.

We were directed to a lower field (or by the hedge on the left as you come in) as we were told it would be quiet and we would have the field to ourselves. Which we did until the following night. This field seemed to be favoured by dog walkers but they all kept away from the tent so that was fine.

There was quite a bit of road noise from the A309(?) so not as quiet as it first appeared. And on the first night someone in a caravan was listening to loud music but they left the following morning. We had some sea views from the tent which was great. I guess most pitches do have views as it the campsite is on several levels.

There was one toilets / showers / washing up / launderette block, next to recycling and bin facilities. We never had to wait for the showers - I guess this is because most people camped in caravans and used their own.

There was plenty of hot water (in fact it was too hot to stand under a lot of the time in the ladies showers, hubby said his was OK). You could plug in your own hairdryer. There were hooks on the doors in the showers as well as a basket to put your toiletries in which was great. Everything was spotless.

You can walk to the Eden project in about 25-30 minutes (turn right as you are leaving the campsite) - there is no pavement or path next to the road for most of the way so care must be taken. Use the first gate to Eden which is locked as otherwise you add another 10 minutes walk through the car park.

 Great Site good clean toilet block with privacy wash areas, good showers wash up area and laundry. Our pitch had EHU and water. Nice views to the sea about 2/3 miles. You can walk to the Eden centre in about 15 minutes well worth a visit they seem to introduce new things each year a Mediterranean café will be completed soon. A short walk to the village with a petrol station shop that had everything you would need papers milk bread etc. A nice pub which served food we ate there and it was good. Outside the pub was a bus stop into St Austell and other small villages on the coast.

 My Husband and I have just got back from a weeks stay at this site, it is very well located. Local Pub (Four Lords) and 2 take aways 5 min walk. The site is stepped and most pitches have lovely views of the sea and Fowey. The owners are very friendly along with their Chickens and pet dog. Its a nice quiet site with only 30 pitches. The Toilet block is very clean and the showers are free and hot in the ladies but a little cold in the mens, according to my husband. There is a clothes washing area and a dish washing area which are both clean and tidy. There is a large field to exercise your dog. The Four Lords Inn (5 min walk) is a very friendly pub that have a very wide Menu with a 2 for 1 offer between 6-7pm. Their food is excellent quality with big portions. The Landlord and Landlady are very friendly. The Fish and Chip shop is nice but be warned, it closes at 8pm every night. We had Chicken and Chips (£4. 50ish each) there is also a Chinese Take away but the food was not up to standard (very salty) There is a Asda and Tescos 5min drive away. Charlestown and Fowey are both well worth a visit. The site is also less than a mile from The Eden Project. It took us 20mins walk (I'm a slow walker)to get there and 30min to get back (there are a few steep hills but not too many). We will definitely be returning. Great Holiday! XX

Reviewer: Sparkle001 9 reviews from this member

 This is a really nice well laid out site on about 3 levels. The view from any level is really good.

The pitch sizes are good.

The toilet and shower blocks are really clean

The hosts are very helpful and friendly

It's about 25 minute walk to the Eden Project which is well worth a visit. There is a substantial discount for walkers.

The site is close to pubs and shops.

The nearest beach is about 2-3 miles.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this site. And, no hesitation in going back for another visit.

We loved it.

 As we hadnt been camping for quite a few years we were feeling a bit dubious,,how wrong could we be. What a lovely smallish campsite it is. Showers and toilets lovely and clean and never busy, wasn't even busy at 3.30 am when my daughter decided she needed a wee!

Lots of water taps around and was very quiet at night even though it was quite busy. We ate at the Britannia just down the road and the food was nice and it had a bouncy castle outside which was great for the kids.

Being in England we couldn't predict the weather which was our only downfall. Rain, otherwise a fantastic few days

 Lovely site, great sea views of st.austell bay/par, very friendly owners dennis & sue

Who are very helpful. We must also mention 'ben the dog' who was friendly and funny! (but please drive carefully because ben being a sheep dog likes to round up solo vehicles!)

Toilets/showers- clean, tesco's & asda 5-10 mins drive away. Plenty of leaflets available in reception area. Will definitely return next year

A little gem of a site!
