What customers say
Great spot near awesome beaches, staff are legends. Sites are spacious, but loos and showers are a bit dated. Families love it, heaps for kids. Some found it a bit busy and noisy, and the pool cost a few bob.

Beach Field Zone 2 powered grass site
Liked Brilliant location, short walk to so many beaches and a lovely hours walk on the coastal path to Treyarnon Bay which is gorgeous. We even did the slightly longer 6 mile walk into padstow on the coastal path.
Amenities were clean and had plenty of toilets and showers. Shop onsite had whatever we needed for our stay.
Gorgeous view from the pitch and lots of space on the beach field.
Disliked As we were parked on the beach field the toilets were a decent distance away, it was fine for our two night stay but worth noting if thinking of staying longer!

Disliked Shame we couldn’t say the food was good but wasn’t Ollie’s fish and chip shop was not a good experience in fact it was a complete waste of time and money 1hour wait for poor quality food 2 sausage chips chips and “kebab”meat ? £32 tasted disgusting susies diner wasn’t to bad slightly better quality food but tried ordering food 830 waiting 25 minutes at the counter to be told the chef isn’t cooking anything else it was a complete letdown

We had a great time regardless of our dislikes. The beach was worth it
Beach Field Zone 2 powered grass site
Liked How close we were to the beach (field 2) the staff were lovely.
The beach is absolutely beautiful. Less than a minute to watch stunning sunrise/sunset over the beach. The site is close to trevone natural pool and everyone should definitely go take a look and have a swim. Shop was fully stocked and staff were helpful
Disliked The clubhouse. It's small, outdated and there is just not enough space.
The arcade. It's dreadful! Outdated, small the machines are terrible. Its a shame because it has potential. There really isn't enough to keep the kids entertained.
Shower block is outdated but clean. 20p for a short shower was a but of a nightmare.
We did get battered by the wind in the beachfield so keep that in mind when booking a tent. Although this isn't relevant to the park.

Beach Field Zone 2 powered grass site
Liked The view was amazing and staff were friendly and helpful. The beach was right on your front door step.
Disliked Toilet blocks were dated but cleaners kept it clean. A little annoying you have to pay for showers even though it’s cheap it seems unnecessary when you pay so much per night.

Liked It’s being so close to an amazing beach. The toilet where also nice and clean the cleaner work very hard to keep the place clean
Disliked The pitches where so small we could touch the other people camper and tent next to us and the childern had no room to play. The showers where just one temperature very hot and to hot for my three year old she was screaming as it was to hot, they did not smell very nice. You have to pay for swimming and the showers

Powered grass site
Liked The location being close to Harlyn Bay but that's as far as it goes.
Disliked 1. Noise - The welcome pack stipulates no noise before 8am and after 10pm. Yet the staff drive around in noisy 4 x 4 from 5am. The club also stays open until 12pm and it is unbearably loud.
2. Clientele/Service - We were unfortunate enough to try food at the on site diner which was terrible. There was a football match being played with supporters amongst children swearing. I brought this to the attention of the security guard often found hunched over a fry up and rather than assist he advised that there was other locations my children could sit, notwithstanding they couldn't as they were eating. Not to mention you would expect a security guard to address those shouting profanities at the TV screen.
3. The arcade machines were in a large part broken or swallowing money without allowing my children to play. Many machines advise of a £1 payment per go when in fact they are just 50 pence such as the punchbag which is very dishonest. Aligned was the fact my son one a major prize on a tetris style game. An error code was presented and we once gain raised this with staff. A young member of staff turned the socket on and off. The machine still displaying an error code. He then advised the manager would resolved. Having waited 30minutes for the manager. When I finally managed to capture his attention he said that he wouldn't take my sons' word for the win and would instead review CCTV to corroborate but would do so the following day. I asked to leave my details so he could contact us and he refused. Alas, we havent heard back.
4. Avoid this place like the plaugue. There are plenty of alternative locations.
