The best CL in the country!!

Castle View
We can’t believe being a runner up for CL of the year that this site didn’t win the award! It is a fantastic site. The CL is managed by James and is in the grounds of his working farm. James spends a lot of time maintaining the site, inspecting each pitch before new arrivals. He is very flexible and accommodating and knowledgable about the area. The pitches are shaped, spacious and all hardstanding gravel. Each pitch is fully serviced and has a quality and comfortable picnic bench and 5 planters of beautiful flowers which really add to the pitch experience. The views are breathtaking, looking at beautiful countryside one way and the sea the other. You can see St Michaels Mount which illuminates on a Saturday evening, round to Penzance and Mousehole on the other side. The site is tranquil, the perfect base to explore all Cornwall has to offer including many shops with fresh caught Cornish fish perfect for the barbecue. We really can’t recommend this site enough, however beware… it is addictive and you will most definitely want to return irrespective of how far you have to travel!! If you have friends you wish to bring along without a caravan, the site also has luxury glamming pods.

Must be One of if not the best CL in the country

Castle View
a 3-night stay at this fantastic CL. The pitches are nice and level and big enough for our twin axle 8' wide caravan. The facilities are first class and the view is to die for. James the owner is very friendly and helpful. There is also a nice field on site to run the dogs. What more could you ask from a CL or any site for that matter.

a real find

Castle View
spent a week here this month in varied weather. Stunning view to St Michaels Mount. The CL photoes don't do it justice. James the friendly owner spends a lot of time keeping the site tidy. Plenty to do and see in the area. We walked some of the coast path and down to the Mount crossing the causeway to reach the island.. . Beware of walking there through Marazion Marsh as the railway foot crossing is currently closed 15.4.24 due to ongoing improvements. Good local transport which is important to us as we park up and don't move the van. Nearest bus stop is a 5 minute walk, buses to Penzance and St Ives. Walk 15 - 20 minutes down to the A30 to Ludgvan Leaze or Varfell Turn to catch the Lands End coaster bus and others.. Local pub, 5 minute walk serves reasonable pub grub. Spar shop in Crowlas . will definitely go again if James has a pitch, the site is very popular abd gets booked up quickly.

A very special CL site

Castle View
Arrived at Castle View and spent one of our best holidays on this fantastic CL site over the Christmas period. The service pitch was flat and pristine with our own water, waste and EHU and the chemical waste and bin area immaculate. The panoramic views from the site are spectacular and take in Marazion, St Michael's Mount, Penzance, Newlyn and round to Mousehole, and all are within easy visiting distance from the site. There are plenty of supermarkets, shopping outlets and eateries in Penzance and nearby Hayle, St Ives and Porthleven as well as many independent retailers in this area. James and his family were wonderful hosts and added to the festivities with a Christmas tree on the pitch and a bag of 'goodies' to help celebrate Christmas, which was a lovely touch. As seasoned campers from tent through all aspects of camping/caravanning to motorhome over the past 45 years we cannot fault this fantastic CL site and will be back in the future. Many thanks to James, Debbie, Emily and Jen.

5* CL

Castle View
Can't understand why this site is not CL of the Year. Amazing site. Everything you need on a beautifully maintained pitch and the views are out of this world. We will be back. Only downside, and this is not the CL's fault, the food in the local pub, the White Hart, was not good.
