Macdonald's Farm Touring and Camping

Liked Lovely friendly site with lots of animals and a great selection in the bar and cafe

Disliked As the cafe area gets lots of use the tables didn’t seem to be cleaned between guests and remained sticky for the next people using it

Liked Cannot fault this campsite at all. From the moment you arrive staff are super helpful, food is amazing, facilities amazing, petting farm great and only a 10 minute walk from the beach. And for the price it is an absolute gem.

Liked This was a lovely site, quite peaceful, but then we did stay at the end of season. There are showered and an outside shower for washing off the sand from the beach. Also a great touch of having a dog washing station. There was a launderette but with only one washing machine and I think 2 dryers. Great little bar and somewhere to get pizza and loaded fries etc if you can't be bothered to cook. Lovely outside areas with chickens wondering around, and some llamas, pigs, goats and guinea pigs to look at.

Disliked The bar was a tad expensive, but then I suppose it is Cornwall. There was no mention that counts were required for the launderette facilities, which was a bit inconvenient. I would also think that in season if you are offering this sort of facility,that a couple more of each would be worthwhile. I didn't find an opportunity to use a dryer as they were always in the, even though the campsite was very quiet. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the showers and toilets. Even though when we arrived one area was apparently being cleaned, I didn't really see evidence of this. I used the same shower every time and in the four times that I used it, it had not been cleaned by a staff member. Also the toilets in the car area were not particularly clean. It's the attention to detail that is missing. If the person's doing the cleaning are not moving the bins and the toilet brushes etc to clean behind, then I do not have faith the the actual cleanliness. Some attention to detail wouldn't go amiss.

Liked The park is so child friendly plenty for them to do.
Having bar and restaurant on site is a plus too.

Disliked Showers, they need more blackout privacy glass.
The frosted window isn’t good enough you can still see people walking passed the windows,
Toilets blocks could be better you can see straight under the doors of the unisex toilets.

Liked This was a lovely, clean, friendly campsite. The pitches were flat and we had plenty of space. We liked being on the side of the campsite that was far away from the farm animals.
The cafe/restaurant and bar was brilliant, we enjoyed being able to sit outside and listen to music with a few pints of Rattler!
The view of the sunset from the reception was fantastic and the short drive to the beach was really handy (we didn't fancy the walk up the hill).

Liked I found Macdonalds through a Google search and I'm so glad I did. It's such a fantastic campsite! We liked the great location of Macdonalds as its only a short walk from Porthcothan beach, which is a really gorgeous beach. The restaurant and bar area were the best we've ever had at a campsite. Great food, live music was incredible and the staff were always friendly. The toilet block area was always clean but then we have a small complaint to follow. The view over the fields was stunning and we could also see the lights from Boardmasters, where our eldest was staying. The free WiFi on site was very easy to log in to and we had signal on our pitch towards the back of the site. We've never had that facility on a campsite before and it was a lovely perk to have with a teenage son. The vibe there was really relaxed and we had the best 5 nights away with friends who also loved the site!

Disliked We have 2 complaints about our stay. Although the toilet block was clean and modern, only having 2 showers for women, 2 for men and another 2 for families is not enough at all for 66 pitches (when full as it was when we were staying). I also only had hot water for about 1 minute of my shower and then it was cold on 2 separate days. There is no temperature dial, just a push button. The other complaint was our pitch location. We were on 64 which was on a corner section. Although nice and big for our tent and car, it tended to be a cut through for people and just didn't feel very private. It didn't offer any privacy either as we had others behind and to the side with a road in front. We would definitely book again though and want to come next year, just we'll ask for 1 of the more secluded pitches.
