  • Cornwall holiday park with beach access five minutes’ drive from Hayle
  • A 20-minute drive from Tate St Ives
  • Bar, bistro and shop on site, plus a play park and heated indoor pool
Private access to a three-mile sandy beach sound tempting? That's the fabulous feature you’ll get at St Ives Bay Holiday Park, set on sand dunes five minutes’ drive from Hayle in Cornwall. If you’re all piling in for a family holiday, you can spend days building sandcastles, running around on the beach with the kids and cooling off in the sea. Travelling as a couple? You’ll have spectacular sea views across St Ives Bay and you’re almost guaranteed colourful sunsets as a backdrop for romantic twilight strolls on the sand. And when kicking back and enjoying the views is not quite enough for you (and, let’s face it, the kids will want more), how about crazy golf, tennis or the amusement arcades? You can burn off more energy at the surf school or in the heated indoor swimming pool, and there are play areas scattered around the park to wear the kids out properly. With all this going on, make sure you leave time to unwind for a drink at the terrace bar with superb views over the bay and a menu of small, tapas-style snacks – there’s entertainment in the evenings too. Or you may like to make a night of it with the family over a freshly prepared meal at Sands Bistro? Forgotten an important ingredient or need milk for your morning cuppa? There’s a well-stocked independent shop on site that stocks all the essentials, including your daily newspaper.

What customers say

This campsite boasts an exceptional location directly by the sand dunes and a beautiful beach. Visitors praised the spacious pitches, cleanliness of facilities, and the helpful, friendly staff. The on-site amenities, including the bar with sea views, pool, and shop, were well-received. While many enjoyed the convenience and proximity to the beach, some noted that beach access involves steep dunes, and occasional noise from the clubhouse was mentioned. Overall, the site is highly recommended for its location and facilities.

Neil A.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful spacious pitches with amazing views. Staff very friendly and helpful in reception. Close to beach.

Disliked The bar/restaurant was like a big canteen and kids play area, which was over run with a rugby tour. A lot of litter around the site especially the touring pitches.
Would have liked a separate bar for adults only.

Adrian R.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Big pitches so not cramped and too close to neighbours. Clean toilet and shower block.
Generally the site was very clean and all the staff we met were very helpful and friendly. Great to be able to set up within a 5 minute walk to the beach - across the sand dunes.

We stayed in a camper van on a level pitch

We did not use the site facilities but they all looked good - pool, bar area, shop

Disliked Did not like the dog walkers from other parts of the site walking their dogs through the [smaller] camping area, some stopped to do their business.
