Old Macdonald's Farm

We loved staying here. The camp site was well kept, not too crammed in and fairly quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful through out. Our 5 year old adored going to the farm especially playing on the go carts and feeding the animals. The nearest beach is a 15-20 minute walk away and it's a super beach for families. We spent many happy hours there. We got the bus right outside the campsite for a trip to Padstow. It couldn't have been easier and great fun seeing the views from the top of the double decker. We took the advice in the campsite shop and had fish and chips from St Merryn. Delicious! Very, very happy with our holiday 😀

Not a huge site, which was lovely for our first trip in the camper with our toddler. Great facilities - it was absolutely ideal to have the farm park available to use between 08.30 and 20.30 (campers only outside normal opening hours), to keep our toddler entertained between visits elsewhere, when cooking tea and such like. It is well fenced and very safe for the little ones to explore and roam around under supervision. Animal feeding times (campers only) were a great addition - really lovely to encourage the children to take part in this - ours loved it!

The showers and toilet blocks were clean, plenty of hooks for clothing, and we liked the large cubicles with toilet, sink and shower in (wet room style) which meant we had plenty of room for our toddler to be there with one of us. Very clean and well maintained site, plenty of water points and waste disposal points.

The onsite cafe is very good value for money - enormous portions and relatively inexpensive. Fantastic milkshakes and smoothies! The shop stocks useful items for campers such as bread, milk and meal ideas as well as various toys, books and ice cream.

The location itself was fantastic - a quiet area but quick access to Newquay, Padstow and further afield such as Port Isaac and Tintagel if you wanted. A huge number of local attractions within easy travelling distance suitable for children as well (we visited Lappa Valley Steam Railway and Dairyland Farmworld on this trip) but you are spoiled for choice.

Porthcothan Bay (about 0.5 miles away - you could walk it if you're brave enough for the hill on the way home!) is stunning and very clean. Very sheltered and at low tide the sandy beach goes on forever! Lovely café and shop there too, and parking opposite which is inexpensive.

We will be back next year!

If you choose to bring your dog, the dog walking field is the same field which is grazed upon in the evenings and overnight by the ponies - this is ok if both you and your dog are used to this (we are, having horses of our own) but could be disconcerting if not. Would recommend choosing an alternative area to walk your dog - plenty about - and dogs are allowed at Porthcothan Bay even in the summer months which is fab.

Just back from a holiday on 'old McDonald's farm', I have to say I don't normally write reviews but felt this place deserved one as that was what had drawn myself to this fantastic place. We as a family normally go to haven sites but found this so much better!
Myself, my wife and 2 children aged 7 & 9 really enjoyed this place and felt most welcome by the owner Rob, there is plenty to do and my children didn't stop from 8:30am to 8:30pm, they were really sad to leave but we will certainly return there again.
Also great location if you surf or bodyboard as there is a great beach literally 2 mins down the road.

Enjoyed the location. Pleasant for walks. Close clean sandy beach.
Small compact site, pitch fee included admission into 'Old McDonald's' seeing all the animals, feeding and grooming, train rides, golf and all day kiddies entertainment which appeared very good value. Shop on site for essentials and cafe for all. Having been a parent I liked the shop as all the child 'I want ' items weren't expensive
Showers and toilets well designed and clean, washing up areas included
Enjoyed our out of season stay very much and would always return again.

Farm park activities, nice quiet campsite, family originated, and close to lots of great beaches.

Showers went of very quickly, which was a pain when trying to shower a two year old.

Lovely place. Lots for kids to do, even after the farm has closed. Generous sized pitches. Showers and toilets all clean and showers powerful. Washing up facilities clean and spacious. Staff lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Kids can feed animals and pet them.

Nothing!
