We are after a campsite in  Cornwall for the summer.  It is for 2 families, 5 children in all ages 4-9 , we don't want a commercial site with bar, pool etc.  We want a more traditional site where the kids can have some freedom and we can have a relaxing time if possible!!

I have found one site which looks interesting, South Penquite Farm - No reviews for this campsite wondered if anyone has been and what is it like.  Also has anyone been to the National Trust Site at Lansallos?

If you can recommend anywhere please help ... not really bothered where in Cornwall we are, don't want anything too expensive though ...

Thanks in advance for your help

 try Boscrege, nr. Helston, we went last year, have left review on here.

 No club, but plenty of space for the kids to play.

 You have to drive to the beach, but only 8 - 9 mins and oh what a beach.

Try Perran Springs  - lots of recreation fields, fishing lakes, wildlife on site & nature reserve right next door.

Has a shop, laudry, great shower block and play area for the kids.
They do not allow dogs!

No clubs, No pool, overall a great site that I always recommend.

But dont take my word alone, read the reviews here:

I can vote for Boscrege - went there first time last year after many happy August fortnights at Trelowarren on the other side of Helston.
Were worried about finding a site like Trelowarren. Boscrege was it - large field with units round the edge (some with EH) plenty of space for kids to play. Not near a main road so they can wander. Owners very pleasant. Nice pub in the village about a mile away.
Going back end of June in a static caravan with the parents.

No, really?!
