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.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Staff were friendly, 10 minute walk to the beach. Quiet location.
Powered grass campsite
Liked Pitches and lication were good. Showers clean and a reasonably well stocked shop.
Disliked Generally the park look tired and scurvy in certain areas like round by the external of the pool.
Recommend to friends Visit 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.

Overall excellent site. Just the food brought me down from to 9 from10
Powered grass campsite
Liked Every member of staff was friendly and welcoming. Pitches have plenty of space and not too far from toilets or pool. The pool was the highlight. So clean and warm. Excellent showers in there too.
Showers are lovely and clean and hot. 2 x 20p is enough. Loved the children's Bingo.
Reception staff outstanding especially Andy.
Disliked Food wasn't serviced late enough. I felt very sorry for a single mum, two kids and nanny who arrived late and was turned away at 7:55pm when they said food stopped at 8pm. Chip shop hardly open. No wifi in club house.

Good site with clean facilities, level flat grass pitches. Nice staff
Powered grass campsite
Liked Spacious pitches - we had an end pitch so a little more space. Lovely & flat, perfect for kiddies with bikes. Park, swimming pool, entertainment, shop, arcade everything you need for families. Shame the weather was so windy - storm Dave. Will defo stay again in the future
Disliked The road /country lane coming in and out of the site proved a little tricky & tight at times, with cars/caravans/vans coming from both directions with no one able to move. People having to get out of cars & get cars to reverse back 😳
Recommend to friends Visit again
Excellent site would definitely recommend. Just bring change for bingo
Powered grass campsite
Liked Plenty of space, great pitches with electric and water at ease, really friendly vibes with great access to the coast. We loved our stay
Disliked Had to pay to use the swimming pool and to shower, why not just include this in the price of the stay.
