What customers say
Great park! Super clean facilities, spacious private spots, and really friendly staff. Lovely natural setting with a handy shop. Peaceful vibes, close to beaches and the Eden Project, with heaps for families. A few grumbles about road noise and cost.

Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Nice site well laid out site, individual style pitches with privacy hedges between groups. Not far to shower/toilet block, always open well kept and clean, always hot water for showers or washing up. Walks around site including 'Grumpy,s pond'
And easy walks to Carlyon beach or further Par beach for those that like walking a bit further there is a garden centre that serves food or the Market food hall (Wed -Sun)15mins walk down the road for good breakfast choice or lunch many stalls to choose from
Disliked None

Average stay.
Powered grass tent site
Liked .
Disliked Evening meals had stopped for the season on the day I arrived which wasn't mentioned when I booked.
Owing to the bad weather, my tent leaked and had to be thrown away but enquiring regarding a Yurt or other accommodation for another single night I felt was inflexible with a minimum cost of £90 and no refund on my original booking!
Only Wi-Fi was near main reception.

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to review our site during your stay and giving us an incredible 4/10. As you can imagine we were very disappointed to read this when the team work so hard to make sure the site is always performing at the highest level for our guests no matter what time of season.
Basically, it seems to us that we have been given a bad review as your tent leaked. We are not too sure why this justifies such a low rating, when we go above and beyond with site appearance, cleanliness, customer service, information and general guest experience.
In future maybe checking a tent is up to a camping trip in advance, would make sure you have a more pleasurable experience, rather than blaming the site you are staying on and requesting a refund?
In terms of you then wanting a stay in a glamping pod, at £90 per night when we provide bed linen, a welcome pack, fire wood, kindling and then have to clean it, this is a really good deal especially for the end of August/early Sept.
Let me address your other point regarding the seasonal shop, which was not closed on the day you arrived and was open from 8am-8pm serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is the same it has been for the summer season opening from May half term until the 31st of August and how we have opened from the last 8 years at East Crinnis, which you will see from our website. Booking through an agent like you have here, it’s advisable to check with a site direct as to facilities and opening for future reference.
The staff informed you on arrival that from the 1st September the shop went to seasonal hours, where we serve breakfast until 12pm, but if you needed anything outside of these hours please call and we would open it for you, which you were more than happy with. This is a flexible service we provide so if guests need fire wood, drinks, snacks, bread or milk etc we can provide it, or alternatively for evening food the local pub, The Britannia Inn is only a 10 min walk up the road where food is served until 9pm everyday.
Maybe camping in the UK is clearly not for you as unfortunately we do get rain and it would be unfair staying at another site and giving them a bad score for a leaky tent.
