Okay, why write a review encouraging others to use this site, which we could be tempted to keep secret? Because it is just too good not to share. We stayed here in July. Yes, the access lane is a bit tight. But that is the nature of this part of the world, and is one of it's charms. No real issue, and no noisy passing traffic, in fact hardly any traffic at all. The site is undulating, although there are some flat areas. If you can drive, you can easily get your van level. And with a surplus of electric points, plenty of room, and no marked out pitches, there is an array of opportunities to fine the perfect pitch. The grass is cut, the electric points accessible, and the facilities fine. The views are wonderful, and the peace and quiet a pleasure. The water is a minute away. It is tidal. We had about a four hour window to kayak on each tide. The Camel Trail is a 15 minute walk away on footpaths, and a 20 minute cycle away (don't try to take your bikes along the footpaths). So Padstow is an hours wonderful walk, and Bodmin an hour and a half on cycles (30 minutes to Padstow). The nearest pubs are 20 and 30 minute walks respectively, on quiet lanes (the ones that you will have arrived by). There are buses a 30 minute walk up the creek, or a 30 minute walk on the lanes to St Issey (where the second nearest pub is). This is a wonderful and charming spot, so please don't tell anybody...
This site epitomises the dream of wild camping but with the comforts of water and electric. It's quiet, rural and beautiful with access to the estuary and some lovely walking. If you want to get away from it all but still want to be near Cornwall's more popular attractions then this site is perfect. The site itself is 'undulating' and access is very tight for longer combinations however the pain is more than worth the gain so don't be put off.
