What customers say
Lovely spot near gorgeous beaches, with great staff. Pitches are big and well-arranged, but some found toilets/showers a bit old. Brilliant for families with loads for kids. Some mentioned noise/crowding, and pool costs were debated.

Beach Field Zone 3 electric grass pitch
Liked Proximity to beach and South West Coastal Path.
Disliked Distance to toilets from beach field.
Toilets not the cleanest.
While the pitch was a generous size, there were far too many people crammed in to the field, and therefore not enough open space.

Beach field is a nice pitch nice little private beaches
Beach Field Zone 3 electric grass pitch
Liked The view of the beach was great on beach field.
Shops and food places on site lots of space on the pitch
Nice beaches
Disliked Showers !!! For the price of a pitch the showers should be a lot better condition these are very dated and not nice at all
Chip shop took 45 mins for us to get our food the girl who was packing the food kept going missing and not serving orders lots of people were frustrated with the service I understand it’s busy but if she stopped wondering off there would be no complaints.

Definitely a good resort did not like the entertainment
Electric grass pitch
Liked Proximity to the beach is outstanding.
Dog friendly for our family, so we get all enjoy the beach.
Lots of space on the beach you could stay there all day.
Proximity to Padstow is phenomenal.
Showering facilities were good, I liked the separate section of dry and wet. (You need 20p pieces to use the shower, I knew this before I went and took ample of change with us. I spent £60 a day on my shower and it was well worth it.
Shop on site had fresh butcher's meat delivered.
Disliked Showers could have been larger to accommodate the huge site.
Entertainment area felt old and outdated.
Entertainment was shocking.
The pitches are a little tight, but this did mean we got to know our neighbours. 🙂

Beach Field Zone 2 electric grass pitch
Liked Brilliant location, short walk to so many beaches and a lovely hours walk on the coastal path to Treyarnon Bay which is gorgeous. We even did the slightly longer 6 mile walk into padstow on the coastal path.
Amenities were clean and had plenty of toilets and showers. Shop onsite had whatever we needed for our stay.
Gorgeous view from the pitch and lots of space on the beach field.
Disliked As we were parked on the beach field the toilets were a decent distance away, it was fine for our two night stay but worth noting if thinking of staying longer!

Electric grass pitch
Liked Perfect location. Beach just a short walk where we spent a few days. Entertainment brilliant. Bar and food prices very reasonable. Pitches big enough with taps close by.
Shop stocked all essentials.
Disliked Needing 20p coins for the showers.
Queues for the showers

Beach field 2 exceptional
Beach Field Zone 2 electric grass pitch
Liked We booked for 6 nights. We arrived late and the staff were very helpful, showed us straight to our pitch.massive pitch space and taps all down the side of beach field not far to walk for water. Toilets, shower, shop, entertainment and huge kids park literally 4 minute walk from the beach field 2 which was amazing. We had toilet in our camper so didnt really need to use the toilets.
But all was cleaned regularly smelled nice. Showers 20p four minutes put 5 20ps in and showered me and 3 children at once easily very spacious.
Short walk to beach field took like 2 minutes we walked up wet it was so close. The kids loved it we sat there everyday. Staff came down with beach avtivities, and surf boards kyaks and life jackets to hire for free they kept an eye on all in sea and ensured children were occupied if hiring a board. They fetched bbq down to the beach which wasnt too expensive.
Great atmosphere.
Staff were amazing and friendly especially the tall elderly guy in the shop. Very welcomming and helpful. Food was good ice creams cheaap and the best weve had!
Entertainment good and very small so nice to keep eye on your children. Diner was lovely very aged not modern which we loved.
We lloved our visit and would definatly come again!
Disliked Nothing we was very sad to leave

Very nice place to camp, beautiful location with amenities available.
Beach Field Zone 3 electric grass pitch
Liked Really enjoyed the location, very close to a beautiful beach and coastal walk. The campsite is clean and family friendly, the staff are great and very informative. The onsite shop have fair pricing, the onsite pool is warm and easily booked at reception
Disliked The clubhouse does not have enough seating and was hard to find a seat for the entertainment, for the amount of people compared to the space available is not ideal. The beach field camp site does not have a toilet and is quite a long walk away, with a small child this is not ideal. For a 1-2 hour slot in the pool is £5 per person, which isn’t bad, but the slide is not open for very long during these sessions. The showers are 20p for around 2.5 minutes. Paid £10 for wifi for the week and could only access the wifi when directly outside the clubhouse.

Location great facilities and set up left quite a bit to the desired.
Electric grass pitch
Liked The location was excellent, with very easy access to the beach.
Disliked Charging 20p for just 4 minutes of shower time feels unreasonable, especially as some of the showers were broken, which only caused more water to be waited.
The food at the small fish shop on site was very poor quality and not worth the money. There are far better dining options nearby, so I'd recommend eating elsewhere.
The pitches are set far too close together. Unfortunately the person in the tent next to us was snoring all night, and it genuinely felt like they were right beside me.

Great park, well run.
Electric grass pitch
Liked We liked everything, the staff, the site, the clubhouse, the close proximity to the most stunning beaches...the toilets and showers were also fine...the shop was well stocked and not over priced...we had a brilliant time.
The reviews don't reflect what I experienced, go there it's a great site...the cleaner's worked so hard...in toilet block every hour! I must have a bladder problem! We will definitely go back.
Disliked Nothing, the toilet blocks could do with an update but this isn't a complaint..still cleaned and functional.
