About the site
An ideal location for days of surfing or exploring the charming seaside towns and villages of South West Cornwall. This peaceful camping, touring and glamping site is great for those looking to escape the busy crowds. There are three simple barrel shaped camping pods onsite, each sleeping up to two guests. To the rear of the pod, you will find a slightly elevated sleeping level with a double mattress, accessed by a small step ladder. Bedding and linen are not provided so you will need to bring this along with you. Towards the front of the pod, there is a wooden seating area for dining with a pull out table available. Electric and lighting are included too. Do note, guests will need to bring along their own cooking equipment as it is not provided. Outside you will have your own picnic table with an umbrella for enjoying a picnic in the shade. You can also bring along your own fire pit or BBQ, just please ensure it is raised from the ground. Access to shared toilets, showers and washing up facilities can be found nearby. Camping, touring and shepherd's hut guests will have access to these too. The pods are dog free but you may see some pups around the site as they are permitted on the camping and touring pitches.
