What customers say
Great spot, right on a huge sandy beach. Spacious, well-kept sites, many with sea views. Clean loos and showers, though a bit basic. Good facilities, fun for families. Can get busy and noisy sometimes, and the steep dunes to the beach are a bit of a climb for some.

Liked I liked the pitch and how close the shower blocks ,toilets and washing up area was to us which was very clean and tidy . I liked the variety of things available in the shop and the laundry system and the amount of washing available.
Disliked The restaurant was such a massive let down . The service was shocking as the lack of knowledge and understanding of customer service was terrible but the worst part was the food dry , bland and over priced for what was vile that bad I got a refund and wasn’t even questioned to why I wanted my money back either not interested or know how bad the food is x
I was talking to a life guard that actually worked there he said he agreed with me which was wow . Absolutely stunning place but come on the food is horrendous sort it out such a shame 😳

Een plekje om terug te komen!

Liked Het weer, prachtig strand, gezellige pub, Hayle op loopafstand, zo ook de Lidl.
Plek was fijn toen verhuisd waren naar een zij-plek. De midden plaatsen op Morselyne cove zorgden namelijk op geen enkele manier voor privacy.
Het uitzicht over de duinen was prachtig, en heerlijk om te wandelen. Ze zijn overal heel vriendelijk voor onze hond. De film voorstellingen waren leuk op het terras.
Sanitair was gedateerd maar was elke dag schoon, ook de afwasplekken. Geen rijen ook.
Disliked Elke dag kwamen er mensen aan en gingen er mensen weg. Dat was in combinatie met het gebrek aan groen soms wat veel getimmer en gebouw om je heen.

Liked Access to beach and bar great. Food and beer prices good. Views amazing.
Disliked Not many water fill points and not easily found on maps. Very busy pitches at the beach side. Queue for male showers common. Shower in motorhomes recommended. Other than that, lovely place.

Liked Good facilities, entertainment and food onsite. For camping it's expensive!
Disliked The access to the beach is difficult, if you have younger children or mobility issues it's inaccessible. The sand dunes are huge and soft sand is really thick, not suitable for beach trolleys or buggies

Liked This is the second time of staying. The park is clean, situated in lovely part of Cornwall. A short walk from the beach with lots of dunes to walk the dogs. The park contains a pool, arcades for the grown up kids, two bars and an outdoor cinema/disco.
Disliked The ABBA night at the Dynamite bar was brilliant, and the disco afterwards was just starting to take off, until the “Silent Disco” kicked in. The moment the headphones came out, the atmosphere died unless you were actually wearing a pair.
Being on holiday is about being social, having a drink, partying, dancing. Sticking headphones on and everyone listening to an option of songs on two channels in silence is a dull concept. It’s anti‑social and it completely flattened the evening. Even our 18‑year‑olds bailed and headed to the Sands bar, they said the whole idea was boring. This may seem a fun idea and might work at a kids party but in reality it doesn’t work when you want a drink, socialise and listen to music together.

Lovely site next to beach but access a killer unless fit/young age
Unpowered grass site
Liked The kids entertainment, swimming pool and evening shows. Childrens entertainers are great. Showers are clean and warm.
The surf school is very good for any beginners, my grandson mastered the waves by the end of the 2nd session.
Disliked The very steep access to the beach, one of bar staff at the sands bistro was rude, Check your bill for food, they have meal deals, if you ask for one but you order 1 thing that’s not on the list you end up paying an extra £7, staff show no interest in letting you know it’s not included and once u pay they will not change it even if it’s within less than a minute of making the order. The young serving staff are very nice and don’t mind you asking them for anything.

Epic spot for a family time out
Powered grass site
Liked Clean, affordable/quality food served at local restaurant, events happening at local pub, kids play area, local toilet/shower with hot water that is regularly cleaned. Staff is well informed. Loads of schemes available if you want a holiday caravan which pays for your location fees. Dogs friendly. Even got offered an eletricity extension cable.Definitely will go again.
Disliked Can get expensive in summer period.
