Very nice site. Nicely laid out with good pitches. Some seemed a little uneven but I'm sure levellers would sort that out. Lovely views over the sea.
Nice location to walk to Fowey (and v nice town/village). You have to get the boat across though, which means walking to the harbour. Down a steep hill. (deff worth a trip to Fowey for an hour or 2. But just remember to have to walk the steep hill back up!) Takes about 15mins to get back to the site form the harbour. (also, the 3 minute boat trip to Fowey is quite expensive for what it is, but I suppose they have to make a living!)
Shower block was good - new condition, although with only 2 male & 2 female showers, it may get busy when fully booked.
Bit of a small lane to get to the site (approx 3miles long). Lots of passing places, but bit of a pain if you meet another large vehicle. DONT follow the local route to Polperro if you are in a motorhome / caravan. Its best to follow the main road out and come back in on yourself along the main road to Polperro - the small lanes are a nightmare. Even if you don't meet anyone on the way!
Nice separate playing area for kids.
Now we have visited Fowey, we wprob wont stay here again (purely as we like to visit new places), but if you haven't been to the area, this site is a nice choice. Dog friendly too, which is always a bonus!
This was our second visit of the year to this fantastic site, but this time it was unplanned! We had spent a couple of disastrous nights at a campsite near Stratford upon Avon and was about to abandon our holiday when we decided to do a detour to re-visit here as we knew we would be guaranteed a thoroughly enjoyable holiday. This added an extra 400+ miles to our total planned journey and therefore speaks volumes for this wonderful campsite.
The holiday ended up being a truly memorable one (again) and we are looking forward to our return visit next year.
We stayed at this beautiful campsite for a week from 19th August. We had two tents as there were two families of us, including a seven year old and an eleven month old. The campsite is absolutely gorgeous and the views are stunning. We visited Polperro which was a twenty minute drive away which is thoroughly recommended.
Fowey is beautiful and not to be missed. On the campsite the facilities are spotless. The owners were so lovely and couldn't do enough for us. Travis, the seven year old was always in the shop but Kevin was so patient with him.
We will definitely go back despite the long drive! A definite 10 out of 10!
A fantastic small site kept to an extremely high standard not just the grounds but the toilet blocks as well were kept very clean.
Kevin and Trudy couldn't do enough for us to make our holiday go as smoothly as possible as we encounterd a few days of horrendous weather.
The hard work they put in pays off to make this site great.
We had young children who thoroughly enjoyed themselves even if the walk up from Polruan village was quite steep but the views from our tent more than made up for it.
All in all a great site, very clean toilets, well stocked shop, great surroundings and friendly owners who go the extra mile to make sure your visit is enjoyable!
This is a quiet site on the very edge of Polruan. It is not too large and has a field for statics and caravans and two fields for tents and camper vans. It is very well tended and tidy and the friendly owners were always to be found weeding or tidying parts of the site. It has a good shop, a room with telephone and internet access, a launderette and separate washing room and very good clean spacious toilets and showers, which have the great advantage of being free.
You can get your mobile phone or laptop charged at the shop for free and they supply freezer blocks and a freezer to freeze your own. It really has all the facilities you could wish for in a camp site and it is looked after very well. It is situated on a no through road which ends in Polruan, the access roads are very narrow and windy, but the site is very well signposted - fortunately.
It is a very steep walk down to Polruan from where the foot ferry goes to Fowey and there are a couple of pubs and shops there or a drive of a few miles to Bodinnick from where the car ferry crosses the Fowey estuary.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay there, but I have a couple of reservations, Firstly, bearing in mind it is situated on a dead end road it is incredibly busy, especially first thing in the morning so you are woken very early. Secondly the site is rather wallpapered with instructional notices and rules.
Now I am sure that most of this is the fault of the site users, some people are clearly too inconsiderate to know how to behave in public, but I just found some of the rules a bit O. T. T. For instance, they have a silence policy after 10. 00 p. M. - great, but they consider noise as someone talking after that time and the sign states, with some glee, that every year they evict several campers who ignore this rule. So if you like to sit outside your tent at night and have a natter this site is not for you.
Also they say you MUST check in before pitching your tent, but the reception is closed from 11 until 4 so quite what you are supposed to do if you arrive then I do not know. Finally, they have a key pad number code for the toilets. Why? As the site is right on the very edge of town I cannot really imagine stray visitors wandering in to use the facilities. I encountered a new arrival swearing and cursing at about 11. 00 p, m, as he had forgotten the number and was desperate to use the toilet.
Do not let this put you off! If you can abide by all the rules you will have a great time here, it is a very good site in a very nice area.
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
Spent 2 weeks here. Site is immaculate and well maintained. Showers and loos are kept very clean although with only 3 showers and 3 loos per block, I can imagine it gets crowded peak season!
Overnight 'quiet' rule is well enforced so a good nights sleep is possible.
Small play area/field for children.
Polruan is quiet and on a steep hill but the foot ferry to Fowey £1.60 each way takes you to an excellent choice of restaurants and shops.
Road access is quite challenging so not for the faint hearted. But lovely site - would return.
Our second visit to this brilliant site and it still remains our overall favourite that we have visited so far. Kevin and Trudy continue to be as friendly and helpful as you could possibly wish for.
The site continues to offer everything a camper requires and more, it is spotlessly clean and in our opinion cannot be beaten. Met some lovely people on the site, and hopefully we will see them again.
We will definitely be back for a third visit and hopefully this time will surprise Kevin with some fish I have promised to catch for him for the last two years!
I would just like to thank Kevin & Trudy for making our holiday a very pleasant and relaxing stay at their fantastic Camp Site.
The toilets and showers are immaculate with plenty of free hot water. The Park is in an idyllic location, just a ten minute walk into Poluran.
The shop has all the basics at cheap prices. The are two pubs in Polruan and can recommend the food at The Lugger. We ate there three times massive portions at very reasonable prices.
Plenty of walks from the site and once crossing over on the passenger ferry to Fowey, more walks.
All in all a brilliant Camp Site and the rules which are set make it all the better for your relaxation. Ie no noise after 10pm and 8am.
What a brilliant site. Kevin and Trudy are a lovely friendly couple who work hard to keep the site tidy and the facilities spotless. There is a laundry room with a hot drinks machine, fridge and microwave for the use of campers and you can put your freezer packs in the dedicated freezer in the shop free of charge.
Kevin loaned us an extra long EHU cable without charge or deposit. Prices in the shop are reasonable and the basics are available, supplemented by the veg man on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings who also sells scones and croissants.
There's a small but well stocked grocers halfway down the hill for meat, wine, fresh bread etc, otherwise it's quite a way to the nearest supermarket. Didn't try the Lugger but had a very nice meal in the Russell, good portions and not too pricey.
We were in the upper camping field which is a little more sheltered than the lower field, both of which have gorgeous sea views. Considering the amount of rain we had, the ground drained extremely well apart from the last day when some cars needed a little push up from the lower field in the morning, but much better than we expected given the continual downpours we experienced.
Polruan is down a steepish hill but it's not too bad coming back, just take it easy. Foot ferry to Fowey runs every 10 minutes or so, or drive to Bodinnick (4 miles, single track roads with passing places) for the little car ferry.
Handy for the Eden Project(well worth the money, we bought our tickets online and you can validate them to get free entry for the next 12 months), Heligan/Polperro and Looe.
Yes, there are a lot of signs on the site, but the only ones to raise an eyebrow about were over the sinks in the ladies which mean none of the mirrors in the ladies are actually above a sink, so you have to do a little side step while washing, and that's the only fault I can find!
Yes, extreme quiet is expected at night, which means you get the best night's sleep ever. We didn't find the owners intrusive or overbearing with rules, they pretty much leave you to get on with it but they're around if you need them and are very helpful when you do. We'll definitely be back to this lovely little site.

What a super time we had again at this site. This site must be one of the cleanest, well equipped and well run sites in the country let alone the county ! The owners, Kevin and Trudy couldn't do more to make our stay enjoyable if they tried.
The location is fantastic and after a couple of days the hill back up from Polruan is no problem. Do yourself a big favour and stay on this site at least once. I guarantee that you will come back again.
The entrance route is not for the faint hearted with a caravan as it is accessed by narrow roads which you have to take the 'we are bigger than you' approach with cars - if you meet another caravan there would be issues!
The site itself is very well kept however too regimented for our liking and perhaps too many signs telling you what you can't do. The pitches are all hardstanding but a little cramped - for tents it was more spacious (perhaps touring caravans where an after thought)
The toilets/showers are very clean however the showers were on a timer which is a little annoying as the buttons are outside the cubicle also a key code was needed to access the toilets/showers which may be a little excessive.
The staff are friendly and the shop is well stocked, you also get a delivery van selling local produce coming a couple of times a week.
Very nice location with good coastal walks nearby the campsite you can get a foot ferry to Fowey which is a walk down the hill - the return journey is VERY steep and perhaps not suitable for all although there is a car ferry nearby also two nice pubs in the local village both serving good food and a local general store nearby but again down the hill.
Overall a nice site perhaps a little isolated but on a bus route
We stayed at Polruan Holiday Park last June and have to say how much we enjoyed staying here, the only downside was the weather (no-one can do anything about that) which was a shame as they are so many places to visit and explore!
The family who run it were extremely helpful, kind and very polite, facilities very good and exceptional clean toilets and showers, and very clean grounds
If there is one downside it has to be the very narrow roads leading to the site! we called it the Pixie Highway! but it would not put us off returning
This site is maintained to the highest standards, the toilets and showers are spotless, the grass is very neat and short and yet I'm afraid the site itself has a soulless feel. I'm convinced this is due to the fact that on arrival you are handed an A4 sheet of rules which make you feel as if you cannot be trusted to behave. One rule tells you to stick to the 5 mph limit - why is this necessary when there are 5 mph signs there? One rule tells you not to smoke in any public building as it is against the law - again there are signs up everywhere so why do they need to write it down again? They also have to remind parents that they are responsible for their children, apparently parents would completely forget that fact if they didn't remind them of it. Extreme peace and quiet is required between 10. 30pm and 8am - it's this sort of tone that runs all through the very long list of rules which by the end left me feeling battered and bruised and scared of sneezing.
Right, my rant about the rules is over now. I hope the owners actually think about how these can make people feel. My advice would be to put them up in the office if you really feel you have to but do not hand them out to your visitors. I am now on a site that has no rule sheet either handed out or on the office wall and yet I haven't seen any speeding and there is zero noise and it is only 10pm. Mind you, it is probably swarming with Sex Offenders!
Here are my views on other points on the campsite in case you feel you can live with the rules.
The pitches are pretty small. I only just had room for my small VW campervan and a utility tent.
The site is very manicured, hardly a blade of grass out of place and I know a lot of people like that but it's not for me.
The position was fabulous - fantastic views out to sea and a lovely 15 minute walk down to the pubs (25 mins back I'd say).
The children's play area has just 2 swings, which look brand new and unused. I didn't see any children on the site when I was there.
On my second and last night here there was a bad storm with very high winds and my utility tent was flattened by the morning. Some other campers in a trailer tent also had trouble with flooding but the owners didn't come over to ask how we were doing.
So, as you can tell by now, this site is not for me which is a shame due to its fantastic location. If only I hadn't read the rules I would probably have enjoyed it here.
We have just returned from spending the bank holiday weekend at this lovely site. (And the rain only fell at night!) This was our third or fourth visit. Kevin and Trudy are always very welcoming and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. There is plenty of walking close at hand, the coast path is literally over the road and across a field, so no need to move the motorhome unless you want to visit the many local attractions within the vicinity. It is a very quiet site and a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.
The site is beautifully maintained and the facilities are spotlessly clean. The information room is full with books to borrow and leaflets of local interest, internet access etc. There is a well-stocked shop and also a man comes round in his van selling fruit and veg, croissants and scones etc.
A short walk down the hill to Polruan and across the passenger ferry to Fowey is a novelty and there are trips up the river or take the ferry to Mevagissey.
We will definitely be returning.

Very nice site. Nicely laid out with good pitches. Some seemed a little uneven but I'm sure levellers would sort that out. Lovely views over the sea.
