  • 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

This campsite's right on the sand dunes with amazing sea views and beach access. Staff are friendly, facilities are clean, and pitches are spacious. Families love the pool and entertainment. Showers are a bit dated, but cleanliness is a plus. Easy public transport to St Ives.

Liked Resort location is brilliant for beach access to massive beach and sand dune area. Great for dogs.
Pitch was level and we got one of the ones overlooking the beach and dunes - perfect! Short walk to amenities, bar and restaurant. Food was good but not brilliant.
Toilets were clean and regularly cleaned

Disliked Toilets & showers were showing signs of age and could do with an upgrade. The push buttons on the showers gave a very short burst before needing to be pushed in again. Everything worked OK so I am being a bit picky here.

Liked On a lovely beach. Swimming pool warm, but a steep hill to get to it. Close for bus to St. Ives.

Disliked Pitches awful, neglected. Dogs allowed to foul by drinking water fill up. Reported to guest services, chap thought it amusing. Not for the person who was filling up with a hose!
