Facilities are kept very clean small shop with a few goods to buy. Will be visiting again in July.
Large pitches and kept well.
Lovely to see rabbits and chickens on site. A hidden gem.

Stayed late July early August.
Like other reviews, you cannot fault the owners, they were very friendly and would bend over backwards to help.
Didn't matter what time of day or night the facilities block was used, either the owners or wardens seemed to be in there cleaning or attending to something - pretty much spotless most of the time.
Have marked them down slightly as the on-site shop is only open twice a day for short periods only and the children's play area "closes" quite early.
However having said how good the owners and facilities were, we won't be staying here again. The photos don't show how much of a slope the site is on. Our pitch was sloping in two directions making it impossible to pitch the tent in the correct orientation for sleeping. I have now had my worst nights under canvas - very difficult trying to sleep whilst not rolling along the tent.
A shame really otherwise it might have nudged closer to full marks.

Don't know how this site has got 4 stars --- it deserves a minimum of 7 !
From the moment we arrived, and were shown around the facilities and toilets ( which were that clean and sparkling, you could eat you breakfast in there) we were treated as old friends and not paying guests.
Kate and Phil could not do enough for us and two nicer people you could not wish to meet. We were let down by another campsite and as we wanted to have a pitch for 4 weeks, we were really struggling until Kate & Phil did a juggling act and managed to find us a hard standing, fully serviced (sunny) pitch for the month of July, although all the pitches are spacious and sunny or shaded dependent on your choice.
This is a gem of a site and ideally situated for the beaches of Perranporth, 7 minutes away, and Portreath and Porthtowan, 15 mins away.
It is also ideally situated only 2 mins from the A30 with easy access to St Ives, Penzance and Newquay etc, and Truro is only 5 mins down the road.
All in all we cannot praise this site and its facilities enough, and when we holiday in Cornwall again it will be to here.
Thank you so much for looking after our van when we had to return to Nottingham unexpectedly for a few nights, although with the coded barrier entry and Cornish walls, it felt safer than our current storage!’

We stayed here last year and really enjoyed the site so we were keen to come back again. The couple who run Summer Valley are really friendly and obliging, ensuring all their campers enjoy their stay.
The shower block is amongst the best we have known, it is very clean and well equipped, and the shop is convenient and well stocked. We were even able to order warm pasties, including gluten free, to be delivered in the morning.
The location is also excellent allowing us to visit Truro but also from Penzance to Newquay and up to Bodmin.

This is a gem of a site, quiet, rural but easy to get to Truro and everywhere else in Cornwall!
The facilities are amazing, private cubicles as well as good showers and probably the best washing-up area anywhere. Lovely owners keep everything sparkling.
Only stayed 3 nights but will return for longer, I hope. Small grandchildren visited us and enjoyed the play area as well as the numerous butterflies and a grasshopper!

This was my third visit to Summer Valley and this time I had my tent. I am a bit 'old in the tooth' for camping in a tent but I wanted to give it a go.
I originally booked for 3 nights but extended my stay to 10 because the weather in June was amazing. I sat and watched the local farmer bale the hay in the field next door.
The facilities were once again immaculate and the owners very welcoming. I have stayed on many, many campsites and this is by far my favourite. Quiet, peaceful and yet well connected to explore.
I have seen comments amount the sloping pitches; some of which are. However, if you listen to the advice given on arrival you will know which way to pitch your tent to ensure it's flat.
I'll be back again this year. Well done on the awards too - very much deserved!

We have stayed on this site in 2001 and 2007 and decided to come again. It is located near Truro where we wanted to link up with old friends as well as visiting places in this part of Cornwall which are easy to reach from this site.
There have been improvements since we last came. The online booking system was excellent and enabled us to pick a spot that we like.
The facilities are now of a very high standard - showers, toilets and dishwashing. We really liked the washing cubicles. Clothes washing and drying machines were there if we needed them. Having WiFi on what appears to be an out of the way site is a great asset. The owners were friendly and very helpful.
Some basics in the shop/office. The nearest shops are some distance away but anyone coming to this site has travelled and won't find that a problem with excellent directions and info in the lounge.

What a beautiful quiet well kept site which is in easy distance to Truro and Perranporth beach. We have had the most relaxing time, our 2 dogs were made very welcome by the owners.
The facilities block is kept very clean, the shower cubicle is spacious- they even supply body wash 🧴- nice toilets and spacious basin cubicles for washing. The dish washing facilities are inside the block and are kept immaculate.
The owners are so friendly and helpful and are genuine in wanting you to enjoy your stay, if any problems just mention and they will do all they can to resolve. We just love this site.
