A Review by Lynn and Baz – Easter 2011.

In 2011 we decided to take an Easter week break at this award winning holiday park.

Having said that, the park is nicely nestled in the beautiful Lincolnshire country side. It has everything you need for a great stay with all the amenities you could wish for yet it is peaceful and very quiet. … read more … »

In later years I camped at a campground the name of I can no longer remember, but it may even have been Chy Carne in a former guise. Visiting Cornwall, it is hard not to travel back though time with romantic images of smugglers silently at work amongst the dark cliffs of the wild and rugged coastline. Visiting one of the small fishing villages like Polperro, Cadgwith or Mousehole you get similar feelings – has the world stopped turning? You can find out so much about the times gone by by chatting to the locals – perhaps down at the ‘local’. Right, if I have whetted the appetite enough, what about camp grounds? Well you won’t go far wrong with Chy Carne.. … read more … »
