Facilities of a campsite in Cornwall

When checking out the facilities of your campsite for your staycation in Cornwall it’s vital that for instance if you are there with your children, then for myself it’s important that the site has a swimming pool and preferably indoor and outdoor pools. In particular the indoor pool is vital because we can’t always rely on the British weather.

Make sure it has a clubhouse with night time entertainment and restaurants on site because it’s always nice to eat out once or twice during your staycation.
