  • Cornwall holiday park with beach access five minutes’ drive from Hayle
  • A 20-minute drive from Tate St Ives
  • Bar, bistro and shop on site, plus a play park and heated indoor pool
Private access to a three-mile sandy beach sound tempting? That's the fabulous feature you’ll get at St Ives Bay Holiday Park, set on sand dunes five minutes’ drive from Hayle in Cornwall. If you’re all piling in for a family holiday, you can spend days building sandcastles, running around on the beach with the kids and cooling off in the sea. Travelling as a couple? You’ll have spectacular sea views across St Ives Bay and you’re almost guaranteed colourful sunsets as a backdrop for romantic twilight strolls on the sand. And when kicking back and enjoying the views is not quite enough for you (and, let’s face it, the kids will want more), how about crazy golf, tennis or the amusement arcades? You can burn off more energy at the surf school or in the heated indoor swimming pool, and there are play areas scattered around the park to wear the kids out properly. With all this going on, make sure you leave time to unwind for a drink at the terrace bar with superb views over the bay and a menu of small, tapas-style snacks – there’s entertainment in the evenings too. Or you may like to make a night of it with the family over a freshly prepared meal at Sands Bistro? Forgotten an important ingredient or need milk for your morning cuppa? There’s a well-stocked independent shop on site that stocks all the essentials, including your daily newspaper.

What customers say

Great spot! Beautiful, huge beach just steps away through dunes. Pitches are roomy, site is clean, staff are lovely. Pool and bars are a hit, views are amazing. Some find facilities a bit old, and access a bit steep. Occasional noise noted.

 Victoria M. 5 reviews

Powered grass campsite

Liked Nothing

Disliked Where to start.. if your thinking of going here in a motorhome/camper then don't!
On arrival at check in we were given a map and told to find our own pitch in 2 specified areas which we felt unusual from experience but thought ok there must be plenty to choose from..WRONG. we drove round and eventually found something that resembled at pitch and set up. I'm not really sure how to express the awfulness of this site, its filthy dirty, completely unorganised but sells itself based on the beach location which does have but don't be fooled. Booked for 2 nights but left after 1. I've had to rate it as a 1 otherwise it wouldn't let me leave a review.
