What customers say
This site boasts an exceptional location, just a short walk from stunning beaches, with many praising the friendly and helpful staff. While the pitches are often described as large and well-laid-out, some visitors found facilities, particularly toilets and showers, to be dated and in need of maintenance. The site is popular with families, offering plentiful entertainment and activities for children. Some guests noted issues with overcrowding and noise, and the cost of additional facilities like the pool was a point of contention for some.

Beach Field Zone 3 electric grass pitch
Liked Proximity to beach and South West Coastal Path.
Disliked Distance to toilets from beach field.
Toilets not the cleanest.
While the pitch was a generous size, there were far too many people crammed in to the field, and therefore not enough open space.

Beach Field Zone 2 electric grass pitch
Liked Brilliant location, short walk to so many beaches and a lovely hours walk on the coastal path to Treyarnon Bay which is gorgeous. We even did the slightly longer 6 mile walk into padstow on the coastal path.
Amenities were clean and had plenty of toilets and showers. Shop onsite had whatever we needed for our stay.
Gorgeous view from the pitch and lots of space on the beach field.
Disliked As we were parked on the beach field the toilets were a decent distance away, it was fine for our two night stay but worth noting if thinking of staying longer!

Very nice place to camp, beautiful location with amenities available.
Beach Field Zone 3 electric grass pitch
Liked Really enjoyed the location, very close to a beautiful beach and coastal walk. The campsite is clean and family friendly, the staff are great and very informative. The onsite shop have fair pricing, the onsite pool is warm and easily booked at reception
Disliked The clubhouse does not have enough seating and was hard to find a seat for the entertainment, for the amount of people compared to the space available is not ideal. The beach field camp site does not have a toilet and is quite a long walk away, with a small child this is not ideal. For a 1-2 hour slot in the pool is £5 per person, which isn’t bad, but the slide is not open for very long during these sessions. The showers are 20p for around 2.5 minutes. Paid £10 for wifi for the week and could only access the wifi when directly outside the clubhouse.

Location great facilities and set up left quite a bit to the desired.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The location was excellent, with very easy access to the beach.
Disliked Charging 20p for just 4 minutes of shower time feels unreasonable, especially as some of the showers were broken, which only caused more water to be waited.
The food at the small fish shop on site was very poor quality and not worth the money. There are far better dining options nearby, so I'd recommend eating elsewhere.
The pitches are set far too close together. Unfortunately the person in the tent next to us was snoring all night, and it genuinely felt like they were right beside me.

Great park, well run.
Electric grass pitch
Liked We liked everything, the staff, the site, the clubhouse, the close proximity to the most stunning beaches...the toilets and showers were also fine...the shop was well stocked and not over priced...we had a brilliant time.
The reviews don't reflect what I experienced, go there it's a great site...the cleaner's worked so hard...in toilet block every hour! I must have a bladder problem! We will definitely go back.
Disliked Nothing, the toilet blocks could do with an update but this isn't a complaint..still cleaned and functional.

Electric grass pitch
Liked The site and facilities all good well maintained clean site will definitely be booking another visit here
Disliked Shame we couldn’t say the food was good but wasn’t Ollie’s fish and chip shop was not a good experience in fact it was a complete waste of time and money 1hour wait for poor quality food 2 sausage chips chips and “kebab”meat ? £32 tasted disgusting susies diner wasn’t to bad slightly better quality food but tried ordering food 830 waiting 25 minutes at the counter to be told the chef isn’t cooking anything else it was a complete letdown

We had a great time regardless of our dislikes. The beach was worth it
Beach Field Zone 2 electric grass pitch
Liked How close we were to the beach (field 2) the staff were lovely.
The beach is absolutely beautiful. Less than a minute to watch stunning sunrise/sunset over the beach. The site is close to trevone natural pool and everyone should definitely go take a look and have a swim. Shop was fully stocked and staff were helpful
Disliked The clubhouse. It's small, outdated and there is just not enough space.
The arcade. It's dreadful! Outdated, small the machines are terrible. Its a shame because it has potential. There really isn't enough to keep the kids entertained.
Shower block is outdated but clean. 20p for a short shower was a but of a nightmare.
We did get battered by the wind in the beachfield so keep that in mind when booking a tent. Although this isn't relevant to the park.
