The valley drops away below you, and on a still evening you can hear the stream trickling through the gorse somewhere down in the fold — that particular Cornish quiet broken only by the odd bleat from the neighbouring fields.
This is a straightforward site for anyone who wants a proper slice of Cornish countryside without the fuss — tent pitches, space for campervans and caravans, and views that stretch across the valley. It's the kind of place that suits couples after a peaceful few days, families happy to entertain themselves with walks and map-reading, or anyone using Cornwall as a base for the coast and moors without needing to be right on top of either. Dog walkers will find plenty of footpaths leading off into the landscape.
Facilities are kept simple — toilets and showers onsite, nothing fancy but perfectly functional. Ask about campfires when you arrive, as policies can vary. It's a quiet, unfussy spot where the main attraction is the view itself and the sense of space around you.
