Campsite Reviews
Get a snapshot of various campsites in Cornwall that we've visited.
We look at the toilets and shower facilities at each site, as well as other relevant things such as play areas and on site shops. Some of the sites we've 'worked' on, putting tents up and down for customers, others we've actually stayed at ourselves.

Note: we will not pitch at the following sites, for the reasons given.
|
Tristrams, Polzeath - This site is overcrowded with insufficient space between the pitches. It is very busy and diffcult to negotiate in a vehicle due to the lack of space.
|
River Valley Holiday park, London Apprentice, Nr St Austell - This site only has hardstanding pitches. It does not have any grass pitches for tents.
