  • Cornwall holiday park with beach access five minutes’ drive from Hayle
  • A 25-minute drive to Flambards Theme Park, Tate St Ives 20 minutes
  • 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.

Leah F. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The location was amazing, the staff were polite, the holiday park it self was quite relaxed which we loved! Great value for money definitely will be coming back !! And the beach is so lovely only a 5 min walk over the dunes!

Disliked: The only dislike was how hard some of the pitches were for tent campers, we had to move to a different pitch than we wanted because our tent pegs were just braking from how hard the ground was but it was all fine in the end.

Liked: Tidy, mostly clean, and accessible to lovely long beach. Flat pitch.

Disliked: Food wasn't great. Bright lights shining into pitch at night took away possibility of enjoying a starry sky. Overhead crackling electric pylons weren't nice. No freezers for ice blocks.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Staff was very friendly, entertainment was good for all ages, starting from 5.30 for younger children and going up for ages through the night. Beaches are spectacular... The sunset from the bistro bar was truly amazing. So many places to drive to around you. MacDonalds, Lidl, B&M are all just a short drive down the hill with lots more shops on offer. Lovely holiday for ALL ages

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: On site shop and local stores and restaurant. Check in very quickly

Disliked: The walkes to the beach up and down sand dunes not good for unfit people or struggling walking. Portable toilet waste disposal not very nice. Roads around the site very narrow especially if you have a large vehicle.

Local attractions

When you can prise the kids away from the beach, chances are they may demand to be taken to Flambards Theme Park (25 minutes’ drive) to explore the Victorian Village and experience Britain in the Blitz, run riot on the thrill rides and dig for fossils at Dino Dig. For a sneaky lesson in Cornish history, spend time on the immersive Dark Walk at Bodmin Jail Attraction (50 minutes) and take a look around the dank prison cells, or travel back to Tudor times with Elizabethan-themed workshops at National Trust-owned Trerice (40 minutes). Come right back up to date with a tour of the masterpiece works of contemporary art at Tate St Ives (20 minutes). If it’s animal-related activities you’re after, meet rescue owls at the Screech Owl Sanctuary (40 minutes), or feed the seals at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (half an hour). Take an underground safari to see sharks and colourful shoals of tropical fish at Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay (40 minutes), and see big cats in spacious enclosures at Newquay Zoo (35 minutes).
