  • 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.

Liked the weather, beach if brave enough to venture up and down sand dunes,

Disliked amenities are one or the other side of the camp. ie entertainment is at camp entrance, food bistro bar is other side, about 15-20 mins walk, up n down hills and cars passing on narrow roads, no parking at bistro, not disabled/ or slightly impaired/elderly friendly in any way at all, no easy access to the beach, certainly from, its a killer, steep sand/dune path, which just slides away beneath your feet.

Liked Near the beach

Disliked Site facilities are outdated and not enough showers for the touring campers.
Human excrement near the elsan.
Tent pitches armed too close together and a fire hazard. There is no policing of the touring area.

Liked Great site with fantastic facilities, including lovely clean shower and toilet block. It is close to the beach, has brilliant entertainment and is close to loads of places to visit. Came for a long weekend but booked for a week so we can take better advantage of things to do on site and in the local area.
