Mount Pleasant Eco Park

Positiv Lovely site, spacious, hot showers, nice site to wander around

Negativ Be AWARE the walk to the beach is mammoth! Either a lethal public footpath which is very steep or the road walk with no pavements! If you have mobility issues or have young children you will need to drive into Porthtowan, the listing was deceiving as it said walking distance to beach but it’s a hike not a walk! Also compost loos were nasty

Positiv Nice big and well organised site, with a trail down to Porthtowan Beach.

Fantastic cafe and bar, we were even treated to some amazing live music during our stay.

Nice, clean toilets and shower facilities.

Amazing sauna facilities on site (extra charge)

Negativ Our pitch wasn't in the best spot, right next to the bar and in the Orchard field, so didn't benefit from the amazing views, like the rest of the site.

In fairness site was quiet from 11am onwards, so being next to the bar wasn't too disruptive.

Negativ Outdated facilities with insufficient showers. The toilets were cramped and confined spaces.

There was also no mobile phone signal.

Positiv Such a beautiful site, very friendly and good amenities.
Look forward to coming again!

Negativ Had to remind them to tend to the compost loos, but they acted fast and there was a noticeable improvement on their maintenance after that.

Positiv Amazing site. Loads going on - friendly staff, shop, bar, cafe, live music every night. Views of the sea and walking distance to Porthtowan- which is a
Fun and friendly surf beach and world class at low tide. Great eco vibes. Loved all the recycling/ food waste. Great showers and toilets - clean and practical.

Positiv The Eco Park is great as an events space. It has a nice bar with live music some nights, and a fantastic wild sauna called Soul Sweats (£13.50 for one hour). That was my favourite thing about the site! We also got takeaway pizza one night from the space near the bar.
It's a 20 minute walk from Porthtowan beach which is great for surfing/bodyboarding - the walk is quite steep but the views are great. Chapel Porth, Trevanaunce Cove and Portreath are also good beaches in the area.
There is a shop on site but it only sells knick knacks - there's a basic food shop in Porthtowan and a fish and chip shop, but you have to order in advance!
The atmosphere is generally chilled - mostly young families. A nice spot if you want a fun weekend with your kids or a short stay.

Negativ The marked out camping field is nicely laid out, but very near the bar so probably quite noisy in the evening. We were in the 'wild camping' field and could hear the music until late at night. So maybe not ideal if you're looking for a quiet camping experience.
The wild camping field was very crowded and there weren't enough toilet or washing facilities - only 3 Portaloos, which were sometimes blocked, plus a couple of compost toilets. One sink for washing up and 2 showers (good and hot). If you fancy a long walk, you can go to the flush toilets - but there are only 4 for the whole campsite, 3 small sinks and 2 showers which aren't always hot.
The space is a nice idea, but the owners should think about restricting numbers or providing more facilities. We left a day early.

Positiv The location and facilities were great for our family get together. The musical offerings were fun and the range of venues for the children to go wild in made the holiday.

Negativ The loos needed emptying more regularly as when we were there, at high season, it was heavily frequented by campers etc.
