convenient site
We stayed here over Easter 2022 in order to walk the south-west coast path (Newquay to Falmouth section). A very convenient location for this. Very close to good supermarkets in Redruth, Pool and Camborne. Easy access off A30. The site is a short walk along a footpath around fields to Tehidy country park with its woodland walks, lakes and abundant bird life. From there you can get onto the coast path at North Cliffs. We were the first visitors to the site for two years (covid). The farmer was waiting for us as we pulled up the drive! He was very welcoming and gave us all the info on the site and the walk to Tehidy. Then left us alone to get on with our holiday in peace. I had to search for him to pay him! The field slopes very slightly, and we pitched up alongside the top fence. There is EHU. The grass was rather long - bring wellies. The farmer's son was having a house built outside the field at the far end where you enter, but this didn't disturb us. There is a slight hum from A30, but you don't really notice it unless wind in the wrong direction. When it's windy you hear the wind turbine, but we will all have to get used to this - small price to pay for renewable energy. There is washbasin and toilet in a small outhouse attached to the farmhouse. Again, we were first ones on in two years so all clean. Yes, the toilet is the chemiloo waste point as well. When another outfit came on site in the second week, I made sure I cleaned the loo thoroughly before use. Probably wouldn't use it (except for emptying chemi loo) if site full. The builders were using it, although advertised as exclusive use. Provide your own loo roll, soap and toilet cleaner. The site was advertised as £10/night but due to recent energy hikes, the farmer had to increase price to £15. All in all a good site in convenient location. It did the job.
