Small camping site, with only a few static caravans, so more room for tents and caravans etc. The site is surrounded by a low stone wall, and is on a gentle slope away from the sea wind. It is fairly easy to find: you drive through Tintagel heading for Camelot Hotel (the big Victorian thing). It is between a B&B and a farm, straight after the houses run out. The weather during our stay was brooding to raining, however we had no problems with our pitch - we were up towards the entrance on the higher ground. If I recall correctly, there were actually two toilet blocks, one at the entrance, and one at the other end of the park, however I can only comment on the one at the entrance as we were pitched nearer to it. The showers operate by 20p coin, and give you enough time to wash yourself in, I needed another 20p to wash my hair, but your mileage may vary. Both the showers and the toilets were clean and tidy. The washing-up area was also clean and tidy, there were two sinks and a large rubbish bin. Also in the washing-up area are brochures and leaflets on local attractions (seemed to encompass the whole of Cornwall, so plenty of information there). The laundry area is next door, but I cannot comment on it, as I did not need to use it. There was a modest playground, but as I recall no indoor play area. The campsite is right on the doorstep of the township and access route to Tintagel castle. We only stayed here one night but found it adequate for our needs, and very conveniently located.
