Gem of a site for kayaking chilling out

£7 a night water electric shower toilet good greeting on arrival narrow lanes in and tight drive if you had a big van we were fine site around cow and calf field so quiet you could hear autumn leave falling. We spent time kayaking and exploring to Fowey, Lost withal, St Winnow and Llwryn steeped in wildlife kingfishers, seal, heron, geese, swans, Comorants etc river steeped in history and lovely welcoming people, good walks SW coastpath, good hill cycling in village lanes, Nt near bye nice harbours and village shop and butchers. Fabulous Thank you for 4 lovely days.

As Near Perfect As I Wanted.

Finally I have found a CL which i want to return to, time and time again. Alas its over 400km away. The warmth of the welcome set the tone for a lovely 12 night stay on this super little site, set behind the owners bungalow on a good size plot of part sloping, well maintained grass. The pitches on the upper part of the field are terraced with hard standing making levelling a non problem. The views from these (and our) pitches is lovely, looking at distant hills or the delightful small herd of cows in the fenced off area in front of your pitch. The advantage of these pitches is that we were well protected from a prevailing and at times strong southwesterly wind, by the high hedgerow. We did lose sun in the evening though, but that is the advantage of the pitches lower down. Facilities are basic but free. The shower definitely did more than dribble. We had full 4G on O2, but TV needed the bigger ariel. Access was tight(ish) but just take care. Definitely follow local directions and DO NOT follow Sat Nav. I will definitely be going back, as despite the wet weather, I had a most lovely time. Oh, the only tick dropped is for peace and tranquility. The road is a bit of a rat run mornings and evenings, and the locals do have a tendency, to charge about, as they know the roads well. That said, it is NOT noisy at all for the vast majority of the time. £7 inc electric, in low season (£1 for awning) or £8 in high season is an utter bargain and takes me back to when all CLs represented excellent value for money. I have recommended it to all my caravanning friends and family, and I have no hesitation in doing the same to the readers of this review.

Green grass, tall trees, warm welcome, pleasant pub.

Within a reasonably sized field, there's plenty of space to set up and settle down, and to feel as though you're away from it all. The facilities are basic but sufficient (though it would be nice if the shower did more than drizzle), and there's been an effort to make it welcoming with books and guides to things in the locality. It's got the feel of what it is - an extension to a farmhouse (cottage, rather), with that "farm feel" to it. The couple who run it are very kind and friendly, and clearly are concerned more with quality of life than with quality of concrete. Local village is pleasant, and pub can be very enjoyable - depends on what's on. Great for access to the coast and such as the Eden Project, which seems to be just down the road. (Read the owners' notes - and do NOT blindly sat-nav !!!)

Excellent facilities!

We visited this very pleasant site at the end of one of the wettest periods on record! The sloping grass had become mud and was almost impossible to drive up, but the owner was happy to bring his 4x4 out and tow van and/or car up the field if you wanted to be at the top. Facilities are unusually good! The toilet and shower are in the utility room of the owner's house, along with a fridge and freezer for use by campers - a facility I have not seen anywhere else. There is also a kitchen sink and drainer with hot water for washing up etc., plus local guide books and a few books to borrow for a relaxing read. Not much of a view, but I have been in far worse! This is a lovely base for the area.

Basic CL in Tywardreath peaceful & quiet, on edge of village, worth a visit

On arrival (August 2012) we had a little problem with the allocation of hardstanding for our motorhome, this however did not distract from our stay on the CL. There are 3 hard standing pitches but the field is quite steep/sloping near the upper end. Without the hard standing larger motorhomes could not use that area. That said, we moved lower down into an area between a caravan and a hardstanding pitch and this was acceptable though not ideal as the land did slope away and more levelling was required. The bonus however was this area maintained the sun for longer in the evenings. The other areas were shielded by trees. This area would in fact make an extra hardstanding pitch which the owners may wish to consider. We suggest that should you require hardstanding you obtain written confirmation not verbal to avoid any confusion. The owners are very nice people and were quite accommodating once the problem was resolved. We did not use the shower facilities but many did. The location of the CL is ideal for access to the local bay at Par Sands, which is suitable for small children. The Bay is in easy walking/cycling distance from the CL via a narrow lane. From the Bay you can walk the coastal path to Fowey, about 4 miles, this is definitely worth it. The local village shop, butchers and pub selling real ales are within easy walking distance. Should we visit this area again we would use this site without hesitation.
