This cherished family campsite captivates visitors year after year with its enchanting lake access and peaceful, car-free grounds. The lake steals the spotlight, offering free kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and a swimming area, perfect for both children and adults who love outdoor water fun. Fishing is another popular pastime, and the site’s roaming peacocks, chickens, cows, and cats add a delightful, quirky touch. Pitches are flat, private, and spacious, often with a picnic table, campfire, and clean water tap; cars are parked away, creating a safe zone for kids to play freely. The staff are consistently praised as friendly, welcoming, and helpful, contributing to a warm, accommodating atmosphere. The on-site cafe serves lovely food and coffee, though some find it overpriced and lacking child-size portions. The campsite prides itself on eco-credentials, including compost toilets cleaned daily, but their proximity to washing areas and occasional smell is a noted drawback. Flushing toilets with hot water are available but may be less conveniently located. Showers are basic and have received mixed feedback on cleanliness and condition. Mobile data signal is very limited, which many visitors appreciate as a chance to disconnect. The site is close to coastal villages like Polzeath, making it a great base for exploration. Some logistical issues have been reported, including difficulty reaching staff upon late arrival and a lack of clear signage for facilities. Weddings on site can lead to facilities being used by wedding guests later at night, impacting paying campers. Despite minor criticisms, the overwhelming sentiment is one of deep affection, with many guests planning return visits for the tranquillity and water sports.
