What customers say
This tidy, quiet site has roomy spots & great amenities, incl. clean washrooms. A highlight is its easy walk to a beautiful beach & coast paths. Staff are often praised as friendly & helpful. Mostly great reviews, though a few note dated facilities & iffy Wi-Fi. Highly recommended for a chill getaway.

Anonymous Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely pitch for our tent. Facilities were great with hot water & close walk tomorrow the beach. Lovely play area for the kids to meet new friends and play ball games.
Disliked Could have done with an extra clean in the showers and toilets while we were there.

Cornwall WOW, WINDY, WONDERFUL. Silver Sands,close to the wonderful
FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite
Liked The overall site was quiet and close to the beautiful coast.
Disliked The pitch offered was right on the corner and opposite toilets which was not pleasant. No options given to chose pitch at booking stage and no option to ask for a differing pitch as office closed. so just had to suck it up and get on with the pitch we had. Wash block is governed to Male-3 Showers, 3 Toilets and 3 Basins. Female-3 Showers, 3 Toilets and 3 Basins so be prepared for queuing.......in the morning and at the end of day.

Liked Awesome site with great facilities. It's very quiet which is perfect for a relaxing stay.
Disliked Phone signal was poor (no fault to silver sands) and the WiFi was unreliable.

We loved it
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Everything about the site is lovely. Very peaceful largely due to the time of year well maintained with excellent amenities on site. Easy access on foot to the coast path and beach.
Disliked If I had to nitpick the price for the washer was a little high at £6 otherwise I can’t fault it

Lovely, well-maintained, clean and peaceful site
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The site was lovely, very well-maintained, clean, and peaceful. It is only a short 10-minute walk to the beach, which was ideal. I would highly recommend this site, particularly if you prefer a quieter location where you can relax and unwind. The reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. The park facilities were clean and excellent as well. Wi-Fi was very good, overall, a fantastic stay and definitely a 10/10 experience at Silver Sands.
Disliked Nothing at all. The only thing to be aware of is that the site is approximately a 15-minute drive from the nearest main supermarket, so it is worth planning for shopping.

Lovely, peaceful and well kept site. Very helpful owners too.

I'd give it 10+ if it wasn't for the faulty EHU
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Very well maintained, excellent facilities, beautiful pitches for tents, lots of trees for shade and rain drainage, all spotless and not too bad the road to it.
Pitches super spacious
The beach is only a short stroll away. 12/10 rating to the availability of the staff .
Disliked The EHU was turning off a few times over 7 days, that included the WiFi then day 7 during the night it packed up all together.
That ment no fridge and no WiFi for football and tennis in the evening.
The staff was very helpful to offer me a different spot the last night but moving a 4 berth inflatable tent and all the stuff in it and pitch it back up 50 yards away took me 5+ hours and lucky me, the storm kicked in right in the middle of this.
I'd give it outstanding if I was offered an alternative other than a different pitch
