Non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked: The site was great. Henry was really friendly and would go above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The kids loved it as it was a place to get back to nature and really spend quality time together. The facilities were great, don’t let the cold showers put you off as they added to our experience and the gym was a nice touch too. It was an absolute bargain, we had the best time and will definitely be coming back in the summer. Having the freedom to choose your own pitch was an added bonus as all the pitches were a good size and all in great locations around the site
Disliked: Not a dislike just a note to bring insect repellent

Liked: Where to start?! Stunning raw, rural location. No close cut lawns & mapped out gravel pitches here, it's open, natural & all the better for it. You feel somehow humbled by the place & it's wild character, and you quickly learn to respect it.
Disliked: Just the occasional traffic noise, no fault at all of the owners.

Liked: Amazing space!! Felt isolated and welcoming and felt very safe with my 6yr daughter....the nature in the area is beautiful and as a home educating family this provided endless resources we couldn't of found elsewhere for the price....Henry was brilliant and lovely giving us directions that lead through old train tracks and even a field full of bunnies .....so good we will be back in May and excited for the next adventure....all basic facilities are well maintained and exactly what you need to get back to nature with little pagans

Liked: This was our second stay at Dagger Wood. We love the feel of wild camping in the forest. Simple but clean facilities and a fantastic price. Always a peaceful night of sleep and beautiful birdsong in the morning. Never felt too close to any other campers.

Liked: My son and I spent a wonderful night in Dagger Woods, the pitches are perfect, campfire, excellent facilities (water tap and compost toilets) for that 'wild camp' feel. Henry is always available for any issues. The logs are hardwood and sustainably sourced, so ideal for camp fires. The wildlife is abundant: fallow deer, badger tracks, screech and tawny owls. The 40 minute walk to the Hunters Rest is a must do (bring wellies if it has rained), and the bookshop/caravan is well stocked. We did not want to leave, and will be back!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike if you appreciate back to basics camping

Liked: What a great little camp site. Simple, but top quality showers and toilets. Beautifully kept, good size pitches and all in a great location to explore Cornwall. 10 mins walk to a lovely pub and a bus stop to Redruth and Falmouth.

From the manager: Thank you for this review Victor! Unfortunately, it appears this one might be for a different campsite you've stayed on considering we are roughly 180 miles away from Falmouth. We hope you enjoyed your booking at Dagger Wood all the same.
