First time for us at this impressive Site, for 2 weeks earlier this month. Very busy, with FEW free pitches - upon arrival, we were sent to look at a recommended handful (all grassed only), but found that several of these were already occupied, or had signs indicating suitabity for a 'small MH' (we were in a caravan). Were then actively tracked down by a member of staff, who VERY KINDLY made us aware that a hardstanding pitch had become free just that minute, for which we were very grateful. For some reason, the Wardens appear to have challenges tracking which pitches are actually free at any given point ("People don't come back to us, to tell us where they are...") - and for this reason, we generally prefer an assigned pitch system.
Pluses: Wonderful location, with interesting coves and beaches within walking distance. Helpful Wardens. Immaculately maintained grass and generous hardstanding pitches. Clean & well-maintained facilities. Regular on-site visiting FIsh & Chips and Pizzas - both of which we sampled, and were good. IDEAL base for visiiting both Roseland Peninsula and further afield (Lizard, etc.)
Minuses: A very 'open site', with little shade (other than on some of the smaller grass pitches) and NO hedges or other shelter between any pitches (total contrast to Hillhead, where we'd been several weeks previously). Be prepared to be overlooked by all the 'sitting outside our van ALL DAY on our matching chairs' types. Relatively rural - you WILL need your own transport (there is a bus, but apparently unreliable at times).
