What customers say
Harlyn Sands Holiday Park has a great location near beautiful beaches, with friendly, helpful staff. Families loved the excellent entertainment and on-site amenities. While facilities are generally clean, some found them a bit dated and crowded during peak season. Shower facilities and pool costs were noted as areas for improvement.

Brilliant stay enjoyed everything
Powered grass campsite
Liked Everything my husband first came to Harlyn Sands 60 years ago with his parents and brothers and we came as a couple and then with our children we wanted to return to reminisce
Disliked Paying for showers 20p although during our stay it was free being trialled due to long queues

Perfect for Families, fantastic location.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Book able last minute, perfect for families, we had a great size pitch, everything was easily accessible. Perfect access to a lovely beach, great accessibility throughout the grounds. Great pool and shop along with amusements. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful.
Disliked Although perfect showers and incredibly grateful for them to be a free amenity, however the ques were quite long throughout the day, even in the early mornings. Perhaps another accessible chemical dispenser.

As a family we Loved this…
Powered grass campsite
Liked As a family we Loved this campsite and would definitely book again! Staff were super friendly and attentive on keeping the toilet and bathroom area clean, they were there regularly from early to late!
Nice kept pitches and spacious very child friendly. Bank Holiday and half term busy and everyone was respectful with noise and what not, it really was a pleasant and calm site, security does his walk round every so often which was reassuring and he was super friendly.
Great facilities and 10 minute walk to a gorgeous beach was just perfect!
Highly recommend and would definitely return!
The WiFi wasn't great in busy periods but not all that bad
Disliked The only thing I would say we disliked was the fact it was a dog friendly site but wasn't able to take our dog into entertainment or arcades which was rubbish for the kids (saved us money though), it wouldn't stop us from booking again.

A really great site; we will definitely be seeing again this season
Powered grass campsite
Liked Great sized pitches, pool is perfect for families, and the evening entertainment & bingo was enjoyed by all. The site felt a little dated but was clean and maintained. Short walk to the most wonderful beach, and close to Padstow and Newquay by car. A great location!
Disliked The only downside to our trip was the weather which cannot be helped! It would be helpful if the food outlet stayed open slightly later too (especially as it closed before the kids entertainment finished)
Recommend to friends Visit again
Excellent location, great if you have a family and reasonable pricing.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Proximity to the coast, clean facilities and friendly employees.
Disliked Pitches a little close together for our preferences. The takeaway food wasn't the best.

Overall it's a lovely spot on the Cornish coast, but pretty tired.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Spacious pitches and pleasant staff. Indoor pool, play area, clubhouse, shop and fish and chips shop on site and a beach within walking distance. The camp felt safe and was generally friendly.
Disliked You had to pay 20p for 3 mins worth of shower time. The water pressure wasn't great and you had to give the water a chance to get hot. It was too hot for my 10 yr old with no ability to turn it up or down. The facilities were very tired and only one toilet block on site. Luckily we weren't too far away, but some pitches are quite the walk away.
Washing machines/dryers were cash only and were £4 and £3 respectively for short cycles.
The oil in the fish&chips shop smelt old and the clubhouse/restaurant was a bit grimy.
