Higher Penderleath Caravan and Camping Park

Liked the facilities and the friendly welcome.

Showers were exceptionally hot
Further away from St Ives centre then I thought when booking.

Well kept grounds

Narrow approach road

Not a lot

Nothing was open apart from a small toilet with a shower

Good sized pitches and good power supply.

Quite exposed to elements as quite high up so worth bearing in mind if traveling in Autumn.

Nice pitch, good location.

On a 3 night stay, other than on arrival we did not see a member of staff. The shop was never open and the other on site amenities were not open either. The facilities were not the ones pictured on the website, obviously only used in the busy periods but this wasn’t stated to us - the showers available to us were in the toilets and were less than satisfactory. No temperature controls for the shower so it was !HOT! Or nothing - certainly no good if you have children!!

Nice and peaceful site which was very well maintained. Only a short drive into St Ives. Shower was hot and kept clean.

Could’ve done with the extra shower block being opened to avoid the cue in the morning. Even though there were very few people on site everybody seemed to need to shower at the same time.

Fair sized pitches.

Booked my t5 camper with rear tailgate awning in. Loads of pitches with surrounding trees but was placed in the open. To my delight returning to site one night to find my awning trashed by the wind. Snapped and split most of poles ( was a new cayman tailgate awning)

really quiet and lovely campground. Pitches are spacious, and the amenities are really nice!

It was at best ‘Ok’
Views were nice and area was ok

Stayed on the value field which was on quite a big slope, a lot of rubbish, disused caravans on the field and a long way from the facilities. It wasn’t cheap and they should change name from ‘value’ to ‘scruffy/dirty’ field.

Female staff/man who showed you the pitch were pleasant but the male owner/worker with long hair& pony tail was rude and a disgrace to the hospitality of the park. He made prejudiced remarks about my partner which we can only believe was about us being from ‘up north’
Not a great idea for an area which is reliant on tourists!

One day, approaching the site we on the narrow roads, we came ‘head to head’ in the carwith him. He was in a car coming in the opposite direction. He was closest to the site and more able to reverse to allow traffic to flow and we were unable to reverse as there were other cars behind us. This man from the very campsite we were paying to stay in REFUSED POINT BLANK to move his car back. When my partner approached him and asked him to move back and reminded him we were paying to stay at the campsite where he worked/lived he threatened my partner in the presence of my children to have us thrown off as he didn’t like us. This was
a ridiculous statement as he didn’t know us.
This was very upsetting to my children and resulted in us leaving the site 2 days before we were due to.

I wouldn’t recommend and would never return

Location near st Ives with a affordable bus service that stops off at the campsite.
The facilities were clean and well maintained
The pitch was well looked after
The extras of the takeaway service , wetsuit wash, freezers to chill ice packs.
Organised on arrival with where we were meant to go and information sheet/receipt.
Staff were contactable on the phone if reception was closed.

You have to buy a package to use the wifi
