St Ives Bay Holiday Park

Liked The beach is awesome. Check in staff were nice. It's super handy to have the on site shop (and Lidl just down the road). This place is ALL about beach, dunes, location.

Disliked The price (electric camping pitch) was ridiculous. I booked in advance and it cost me so much per night we only stayed 2 nights. When we were there last minute pitches were available at about one third of the cost I'd paid. And cheaper non-electric pitches were empty and advertised too - none showed as available when I booked. For the price I paid (over £200 for 2 nights) - facilites were really poor. Showers are push button and non adjustable temperature. Washing up facilities outside and not great. All facilities a bit dated. Cleaners left showers/toilets clean but we found people didn't look after them, by evening every shower had someone else's rubbish left in it.

Pitches vary a lot - there are a few really good pitches but you'd be extremely lucky to arrive and find one empty. Most are side by side and lack privacy or a dune view. We had neighbours close on both sides of a sloped pitch that looked onto the track. The other empty pitch when we turned up was over a drain cover and covered in ant powder and traps! (Not what you want for £100+pn).

Swimming pool (indoor) is small, super over-crowded, and noisy (loud music) - it was a reason we'd booked but we only stayed in about half an hour, a disappointment, not really possible to swim and certainly not relaxing. Site bar was nice to have but high prices for what it offers. Shop prices also high, not unexpected but did mean we mainly went out to shop. Guys in the surf school were really helpful and friendly, we'd got back for kids surf lessons with them (but maybe stay off site!)

It's such a shame this place is so overpriced! Given what's on offer at the cost - the only reason to go is the awesome beach.

Liked The location was stunning with a glorious beach perfect for walking, relaxing and body boarding in the waves. Toilet blocks were cleaned meticulously every morning and evening and showers were hot and powerful. Gorgeous sunsets and dog friendly. Quiet at night and plenty of space for tent and car on the pitch. We will definitely be back!

Disliked WiFi was poor on the camping area

Liked The size of the pitches, and how close they are to the beach

Disliked Pitches aren’t cleared of rubbish before arrival. The toilets and showers are very basic, not very clean and showers ran cold (no way to change temperature)

Liked the weather, beach if brave enough to venture up and down sand dunes,

Disliked amenities are one or the other side of the camp. ie entertainment is at camp entrance, food bistro bar is other side, about 15-20 mins walk, up n down hills and cars passing on narrow roads, no parking at bistro, not disabled/ or slightly impaired/elderly friendly in any way at all, no easy access to the beach, certainly from, its a killer, steep sand/dune path, which just slides away beneath your feet.
