We only planned to stay one night on a touring holiday but after a wander down to Chapel Porth beach, we stayed for two more! A lovely peaceful site that allows you to explore the non-commercial bits of Cornwall. Peaceful and quiet with good views. No toilet blocks so you're reliant on your own facilities, but that attracts other guests who also appreciate the quieter side of life. We will be back at some point :)
So peaceful
Peaceful, relaxing, calming, almost hypnotic!!
Lovely clean and spacious site!!
Lovely walks in all directions, we will be back when it’s less hot (can’t believe we’re saying that), however, enough close nearby walks even in the hot weather for us and our dog!! Thank you!!
St Agnes Beacon beckons
Thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at St Agnes Beacon. The site is kept immaculate by the Wardens, Viv and Ray, who are most friendly and helpful (not forgetting Archie). It is a wonderful location for the coastal path and pleasant walks over the Beacon into St Agnes. One of the best things for us is no toilet block, so we don't pay for something we do not use. An advantage is the laundry, which is useful when you are away for a few weeks.
Some people may not like the route to the site, which is a narrow road with passing places but most people drive with care and consideration.
Most of the pitches do slope so leveling blocks may be required.
Will be back next year.

Campervan Visit May 2018
Friendly wardens who were very welcoming and helpful with advice about choosing an appropriate pitch which gave us a glorious view. Some pitches could be difficult for levelling a motorhome. Handwash laundry facility a bonus. Easy access to walking both to Coast Path and the Beacon. We can recommend the high quality local butcher who visited on a Monday evening and noted the Fish & Chip van visited twice a week. Not to be missed is the Driftwood Spars Brewery at Trevaunce Cove, although it's a steep walk back up the road with your bottles!

Favourite location.
Just returned from this site. We never get tired of it, if you get the weather there is no where on earth I'd rather be. The walk to Portreath and Perranporth are on your door step. This is Cornish mining district, and if you want to explore this there are lots of sites to visit. Since Poldark (which was filmed at Botallack mine) the interest has grown, fascinating think how industrial this area was then. Value for money, peace and quiet, fantastic views, abundance of wildlife, immaculately kept, friendly wardens, oh and the chip van comes Monday and Saturday. What more can you ask for.
Lovely Site
Stayed in June on this site. The site is well maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
The ground is a little uneven in places and you may need blocks. Some pitches have a great view of the sea and coastline.
The coastal paths are a short walk away with exceptional scenery.
The only improvement to the site would be toilets and showers.
Would stay here again if in the area.

Great Base
We stay at this site in August for 4 nights, we found it a good base to stay whilst touring the surrounding area.
The Gribbons
Cornish Cream!
What a lovely site with fabulous access to coastal path walks and walks on Saint Agnes beacon. Chaple Porth Beach is a 20min walk or 3 min drive, but make sure you check out the tides for this beach, it's small, perfectly formed at high water and stunningly beautiful golden sand and low water. The WIFI on site it's a bit of a letdown, a good signal can only be obtained when sat on the bench or in the laundry room area. NB: looks are not everything! because of the very strong winds that come off the cliffs onto the site from Porthtowan direction it's wise to have a sheltered pitch further back on the site, apart from that it's another great site for the club.
A real little gem in a gorgeous location
What a lovely, well maintained site! It was just what we wanted: peace and quiet, stunning sea views from our pitch, fantastic walking opportunities and lovely, friendly staff. What more could you want for a holiday for two adults and a dog.
Ticks The Boxes
We stayed at this site so that we could visit friends who have a seasonal pitch here - otherwise, we probably wouldn't have chosen the site and certainly not in August. The site is clean and tidy and the wardens are very friendly and helpful. All pitches are grass - some level, some uneven, some with a sea view, some easy to get onto and others rather more tricky!! There are several seasonal pitches and because of the time of year, it felt very busy and packed in - I didn't enjoy it. No toilet block (not a problem for us but you'd be amazed how many people turned up expecting there to be one) but there are washing machines. The weather can be very unpredictable being by the sea and when the wind blows - it blows! If you are putting up an awning make sure you've got additional anchorage. However, when it is clear, you cannot deny that the views are glorious. Plenty of walking from site either along the coastal path or up onto the Beacon. Lots of lovely beaches in the area but of course, if you've got dogs, many are not accessible at this time of the year. Not one of my favourite sites but I suppose it depends what you're looking for.
