Super relaxing, friendly site in great spot
Electric grass pitch
Liked Location... Between harlyn bay and booby's bay... Surf was up and we didn't move the van once as 10 mins stroll to beaches. Had a meal in the Cornish too which was only 30 mins walk.
Staff were fun and genuinely enjoyed working there, great vibes from Liam, Dan and entertainer lass... Sorry I forgot your name 😬
Disliked Bit retro but made feel quite homely

Horrendous site, run by awful people.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The closeness to the beach.
Disliked Where to begin...
The passive aggressive staff members
Charging £5 per person to use the indoor pool (as we wanted to use the water slide) only to have it limited to 15 minutes witting a 90 minute session.
Outdated, broken facilities
Being charged 20p for a 3 minute shower.
Being charged more than the RRP price for items in the shop which had pre printed prices on some items.

Liked Our recent stay at Harlinsands Holiday Park was truly wonderful. The facilities were absolutely top-notch — everything was spotless, modern, and really well looked after. The swimming pool was a particular highlight: clean, warm, and such a joy to use throughout our stay. We also loved the little private beach area, which felt like a hidden gem and gave us some lovely, peaceful moments by the sea.
The staff deserve a special mention — they were nothing short of fantastic. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure our experience was a good one. We encountered an issue with noisy neighbours one evening, and although we didn’t want to escalate it formally, the way the team handled it was incredibly sensitive and accommodating. They moved us to a new pitch (the one we wanted!), and did so discreetly and kindly. We felt really looked after.
Overall, we genuinely couldn’t fault the facilities or the service — it made for a really memorable and relaxing stay.
Disliked We were a little disappointed to find that the fish and chip takeaway — which had been advertised on the website and booking information as open — was actually closed during our stay due to low visitor numbers. We’d planned a couple of easy meals there, and while the diner did offer some takeaway options, it was mostly limited to chips, which wasn’t quite what we had in mind. A heads-up in advance would’ve helped us plan better.

Exploits tourists due to the great location!
Electric grass pitch
Liked Closeness to the beach
Disliked Nowhere to wash wetsuits (weren't allowed to go in the showers sandy!)
Needed to pay to let the kids use the onsite pool, where the flume was only allowed to be used for 15 minutes of the 90 minute session!
Camping shop products illegally marked up so hideously expensive
Some arcade game machines swallowed your money but didn't work!
Paying 20p for a shower which was a trickle of water, so needed to keep opening the door to top up to be able to wash long hair.
