What customers say
Harlyn Sands Holiday Park boasts a fantastic location, just a short walk from beautiful beaches, and is praised for its friendly and helpful staff. Families particularly enjoyed the excellent entertainment and on-site amenities. While many found the facilities clean and well-maintained, some noted that they could be dated and overcrowded during peak times. Shower facilities and the cost of the swimming pool were highlighted as areas for improvement by some visitors.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Book able last minute, perfect for families, we had a great size pitch, everything was easily accessible. Perfect access to a lovely beach, great accessibility throughout the grounds. Great pool and shop along with amusements. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful.
Disliked Although perfect showers and incredibly grateful for them to be a free amenity, however the ques were quite long throughout the day, even in the early mornings. Perhaps another accessible chemical dispenser.

Electric grass pitch
Liked As a family we Loved this campsite and would definitely book again! Staff were super friendly and attentive on keeping the toilet and bathroom area clean, they were there regularly from early to late!
Nice kept pitches and spacious very child friendly. Bank Holiday and half term busy and everyone was respectful with noise and what not, it really was a pleasant and calm site, security does his walk round every so often which was reassuring and he was super friendly.
Great facilities and 10 minute walk to a gorgeous beach was just perfect!
Highly recommend and would definitely return!
The WiFi wasn't great in busy periods but not all that bad
Disliked The only thing I would say we disliked was the fact it was a dog friendly site but wasn't able to take our dog into entertainment or arcades which was rubbish for the kids (saved us money though), it wouldn't stop us from booking again.
