Decent location but....

Ideally situated for those wishing to visit both The Lizard and the Land's End peninsulas the site lies at the end of a 0.4 ml rather rough farm track off the A394 approximately midway between Penzance and Helston. It is therefore a quiet site mainly grass, which was rather long, obviously not having been cut in a while, but does have a couple of hardstanding pitches, however one does have to cross the grass to access them. It is sheltered from the prevailing winds but has no views to speak, the pitches being adjacent to the treeline. The site slopes away from the entrance gate, so levelling blocks or ramps are required to level ones unit and the lower end of the site was quite wet when we arrived and might prove a problem for M/Hs and large units after heavy rain. There are numerous footpaths from the the site, some of which lead down to the coastal path, and there is a circular walk of about a mile, with views of St Michael's Mount, good for morning/evening dog walks. We found TV reception to be rather hit and miss, as was the free wifi, although we were fine with our 3 mobile mifi. There is a bus stop at the top of the drive with what appeared to be a regular service. Penzance has most major superstores, including a Lidl, and Sainsbury's had the cheapest fuel. There are many places of interest close by including the NT's Godolphin and Penrose Estates, St Michael's Mount, Cape Cornwall, Godrevy Head and sands, and the Tin mines at Botallack, and Levant. The one major downside to the site was the state of the drive, the latter third of which was covered in mud and cow manure through which one had to drive whenever entering or leaving the site. This is the dirtiest farm drive we have ever encountered in over 40yrs caravanning. I very much doubt that we will use this site again.
