Liked We have just arrived back from 4 nights camping.
We are a couple in our 20s with a dog. We contacted MacDonalds farm prior to booking to ask if we could have a pitch out of the way of hustle and bustle of the farm animals / children's play area which was kindly facilitated. Pitch (9) was a fab size for us, and not too far from amenities. Was a corner pitch and our dog loved spending the evenings people watching everyone coming by.

This was the first campsite we have booked which has an on-site bar/ restaurant. This was really helpful particularly in the cooler evenings if we wanted to spend time inside away from the elements. This is something we really appreciated.

The campsite was very well maintained, the staff didn't stop working the whole time we were there, they were always busy doing something on the site.

Toilets/ showers were very well maintained.

Our dog loves nothing more to roll in sand and swim in the sea, so the woof wash was used daily and so helpful to have!

Nearly all the beaches in the area are dog friendly. We were able to visit a different beach each day all within about 15 mins of the site. There is a local walkable beach too. Local pubs are around a 10 min drive.

We don't have children but both agreed it's the perfect place for children and families.

Site didn't feel too busy but can imagine it would in the height of summer.

Overall suitable for all different types of campers and would be back!

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and that we could find you the perfect pitch for a peaceful break with your dog. It’s wonderful to hear you made good use of the on-site bar and restaurant, and that you appreciated the woof wash — we know how much our four-legged guests love the sand and sea!

Your kind words about our team and how well the site is maintained mean the world to us. We’re glad you were able to explore so many dog-friendly beaches nearby too.

It’s fantastic to know you’d recommend us for families and couples alike. We’d love to welcome you all back for another stay soon

Liked The location of the site is great, out of the way enough to avoid crowds. The 56 bus will get you to both Newquay (including the airport) and Padstow and can be caught from the driveway! So makes the campsite great to get to other places. I would recommend sitting on the top deck so you can see all the views.
I loved the facilities. There was an amazing bar area with food on Tuesday-Saturday we had pizzas and BBQ and both were amazing! On Friday nights they have live music too, we had a great time!
The shower and toilet black were clean very good! Shower temps and pressure was great and there was soap provided in the bathrooms. The same is for the washing up area where washing liquid was provided! A great surprise!
Our pitch was a good size and we had no issues at all with the electricity provided.
One of the things I did like was the quiet times between 10pm and 8am. It was great to be able to get a good nights sleep!
I will definitely be going again.

Disliked As a couple travelling without children we found ourselves surrounded by them. A little for planning by the campsite could have helped, but it wasn’t a massive deal.

The only other thing was wind, some areas had natural windbreaks such as hedges and fencing. If the worst thing to happen was the weather then the campsite was amazing!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful location and found the bus links so handy for exploring Newquay, Padstow and beyond — great tip about the top deck too!

It’s lovely to hear you made the most of the bar, food nights and live music, and that our facilities like the showers, toilets and washing up area all met your expectations — we really appreciate your kind words.

We’re glad you found the quiet hours helpful for a restful night’s sleep and that your pitch and electric hook-up were just right.

We appreciate your feedback about pitch planning for adults without children — it’s really helpful and something we’ll look into for the future. And yes, the Cornish breeze can certainly keep us on our toes!

We’d love to welcome you back for another stay soon — hopefully with perfect weather next time!

Liked Great facilities, clean and well kept site, loved the restaurant, food, shop and super friendly staff. Loved play areas, our grandkids had a brilliant time!

Disliked One area for improvement is the distance walking from our pitch (59) to the only shower / toilet / washing up facilities, particularly at night time.

Liked Lovely clean park, plenty of showers and toilets and a nice cafe/bar on site with a little shop for those essentials. Alpacas, goats, pigs, very friendly chickens, guinea pigs and rabbits to enjoy. The bus stops right outside the park, and the beach is a 5 minute drive away, or 20min stroll. Perfect location for Watergate Bay, Perranporth, Newquay, and lots of other beautiful scenic locations.

Disliked Nothing, just a lovely clean welcoming place to be.
