Brilliant site
Electric grass pitch (XL)
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.

Liked The site was lovely, and the facilities excellent. Good to be within walking distance of beach. Also, to be on bus route very helpful. Used bus several times. Reception and bar very helpful, especially on day we left van battery was flat. Please thank especially receptionist who used her own car and jump leads to get us started - she was really great. We had a really great week. Thank you.

Disliked Too few showers / WCs for peak season when campsite is full with families.
Due to volume of campers toilet and showers quickly became unclean after cleaners had made them spotless.
Lacked personal approach that you get with of campsites of this size.
WiFi unreliable

Excellent site. Amazing staff couldn’t do enough and very informative
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (large)
Liked Fab site. Large pitch and immaculate across the whole site.
Disliked Nothing to complain about. If anything at all I would say the toilet blocks could do with some heating in them but that really is picking at hairs bits a lovely place with plenty of amenities

Nice site aimed at families with younger children in mind
Electric grass campervan or tent pitch (small)
Liked Great location public transport outside of the camp site. Nice spacious pitches.
Disliked Showers aren’t heated wish is a shame considering they are very modern. WiFi doesn’t reach campsite not that it bothered us. Cafe food is expensive and we ate there twice for breakfast. A pot of tea took 20 mins and paid for full breakfast but where given 1 item of each the young girl did apologise and did say she had forgotten the tea. But there was only 10 people in at the time. So when it’s busy not sure how they would cope. This happened on both mornings,

Lovely stay. Clean facilities, spacious level pitch.
Electric grass pitch (large)
Liked Friendly helpful staff. Spacious pitch.
Clean shower and loos, and wash up area. Plenty of space and room to hang clothes too, in the family showers.
Useful little provisions shop.
Enoughb basic ‘rules/requests’ to keep the site running well, but not too many to feel like you can’t relax.
We camped out of season.
Easy to catch the regular bus no.56 to Padstow. 40min journey, and dog friendly.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re really pleased you enjoyed your out-of-season stay and found the pitch spacious and the facilities clean and well set up.
It’s great to hear the balance of rules helped keep things relaxed, and that the bus link into Padstow worked well for you (especially being dog friendly!).
Thanks again for staying with us — we hope to welcome you back again in the future.
