Liked We throughly enjoyed our stay at this campsite. It’s a relatively small campsite to what we have stayed on before which was a lovely change as it was definitely more peaceful. It was more expensive than other sites but the care of the site, cleanliness etc really showed that you get what you pay for. The washroom and shower facilities were lovely, fresh and clean. Also the washing up room was immaculate. We stayed near to the children’s park which was fabulous as our little boy played there constantly - it’s a lovely big play area that is well maintained. Overall though we had an amazing time - perfect setting that is near to supermarkets, beach etc. Tip: Wednesday in the summer is pizza night and we definitely recommend this - they were very tasty! Order in advance. They have veggie and vegan options.

Disliked The only minor issue we had was some parents are not as considerate in ensuring their children vacate the park at dusk (as signs state) so it can be quite loud late at night with children and young adults still in the park. This can make getting young children to sleep quite difficult so bear this in mind in where you set up camp.

From the manager: Thank you so much, Julia, for your lovely review and for giving us such a fantastic 9/10 rating. We’re really pleased to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness and care we put into maintaining the park. It’s wonderful to know that the facilities, children’s play area and location all helped make your family holiday a memorable one. We’re also delighted you enjoyed our Wednesday pizza night — thank you for the recommendation! We’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to the team. We’re sorry that the noise from the play area after dusk was an issue during your stay. We do have signs asking children and young people to leave the park at dusk, and we appreciate how important this is for families with younger children. We’ll continue to remind guests of this, particularly during the busy summer weeks. Thank you again for choosing Porthtowan Tourist Park and for your recommendation. We’d be delighted to welcome you and your family back again in the future. Kind regards, Andrew, Angie & James

Liked Everything! Lovely site, clean and tidy. The food hut each night and bar was great especially as it had vegan options. Our 3 year old loved the games room and the kids park. It’s in a great position near the harbour and watermouth castle with Ilfracombe just a short drive away. Throughly loved our stay!

Disliked You can hear road noise at the bottom of the campsite but we found it didn’t bother us, you soon get used to it and stop noticing it. Pitches are quite near to each other (compared to other places we’ve stayed) so make sure you take earplugs to drown out any snorers but this could happen anywhere you stay.
