  • Small peaceful park centrally located a few miles from Redruth
  • Five mins' walk from St Day village; Falmouth/Portreath 15 mins' drive
  • Spotless amenities including showers, toilets and launderette
Long days lounging among scenic and spacious Cornish surroundings and easy access to both north and south Cornwall are offered up at St Day Tourist Park, a small and peaceful place in the rural setting of old Cornish mines a couple of miles from Redruth. St Day's centrally located setting has it five minutes from St Day village and niftily placed between north and south Cornwall to use as a base to get to both; Falmouth on the south coast and Portreath on the north are both within 15 minutes' drive. (If you'd rather get around by bus, regular services to Redruth and Truro run from the village.) Amenities include a centrally set and immaculately kept modern shower block with toilets, basins and free hot water; also on hand are a launderette with washing machine, dryer, tumble dryer and ironing facilities, and water points, chemical waste disposal and washing-up facilities handily set near the shower block. Wifi is available on site for an extra fee. St Day village, five minutes' walk away, has a supermarket, a newsagent and a pub serving fish and chip takeaways as well as meals to eat in. Dogs are welcome at the park, but must be exercised off site and kept on leads at all times when back at base.

Barbara S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass site

Liked: The location of the site was ideal being on the doorstep of St Day village and not too far to drive to either coast. The pitch was perfectly flat and sheltered. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the site was clean and tidy and well maintained. The free showers were lovely and hot and the freezer and microwave came in very useful. Plus the free Wi-Fi was a bonus for us. We had a fabulous week.

Disliked: There was nothing to dislike. We will book again next year.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked: Very quiet site, large pitch, hot showers, good wifi - good value for money.

Disliked: Pitches are on a slope, even with levelling ramps our van was not level and there is curb on your touring pitch wich makes it a bit akward to park up, it is also quite tight between the opposite pitch - might be a challange to manoeuvre large vehicle. Toilets and showers are a bit grubby - need a deep clean. Lights on sensor in toilet/shower block - they do not stay on long enough and you end up showering in the dark. There is a radio in shower block which is on 24/7 - maybe instead of saving on electricity by turning off the lights turn radio off and increase lenght of time lights are on or invest in more light sensors in shower cubicles. Something that surprised us as well was a bin lorry collecting glass waste at 4.20am one morning - as you can imagine it was very loud!

Local attractions

St Day Tourist Park's central location means it's within easy driving distance of most of Cornwall's well-known spots, like Truro, Falmouth and St Ives 10, 15 and 20 minutes away, the spectacular scenery of Land's End within 50 minutes, and beaches and surfing all around. Portreath and Porthtowan are the two closest beaches, about 10 minutes' drive to the north and with good surfing, kayaking and a café each. Ramble between them for a scenic up and down hike via the South West Coast Path, going on to St Agnes or Godrevy from Portreath if your legs can take it. A leisure centre, fishing, golf, horse riding, flea market, surfing, spectacularly scenic walks and views are all within easy reach of the site, as well as the remnants of Cornwall's mining history at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of St Agnes (15 minutes). From Porthtowan, hike along the three and a half miles to Chapel Point, via the old engine house at Wheal Coates.
