St Ives Bay Holiday Park

Gostou Site was very clean and well maintained, excellent location.

Não gostou Pitches are not assigned, I outright asked if they were assigned and was told they were, we arrived and there were very few pitches left and we ended up on the area near the clubhouse which was insanely noisy until well into the night. Ruined our trip.

Gostou großer Stellplatz mit großartiger Sicht auf die Dünen u das Meer; toller, direkter Strandzugang; unkomplizierter Check in/Check out; nettes Personal; cooler Surfshop für Kursbuchung und Materialausleihe; öffentliche Bus Anschlüsse direkt vor der Haustür zB nach St Yves; viele weitere Angebote wie Hallenbad etc., die wir nicht genutzt haben; wir hatten einen großartigen Urlaub u kommen gerne wieder

Gostou Twnt pitches were a great size a s there are some great spots provided they're available. Shower facilities and toilets were OK could really do with an update, the beach is a short steep walk away.
The restaurant was good we ate here a couple of times food is OK but there are many other nearby restaurant a 5/10 minute drive away.
.

Não gostou The only downside to our visit really was the safety aspect of the site, there is security however as we found out the leave around 2am and at 4am my partner nipped to the toilet to see a man wearing a balaclava searching through peoples things, looking in people's cars and around caravans. We couldn't get in touch with anyone on there 24hour out of hours line, my partner ended up driving round the site found him again himself and told him to leave, after telling guest services the next day we didn't get so much as a thank-you putting himself at risk, they just said they'd tell the security team which didn't happen as we spoke to them two days later and they responded in a much better manner. Ideally security should be on site until guest services arrive at 9am

Gostou We stayed in the bottom tent/caravan area and really liked the bathrooms they were modern and lovely and clean.

We liked being in close proximity to the beach and sand dunes as they were fabulous walks for our dog.

Good size pitches and EHU was perfect.

I do like the site and location and would come again - but the dislikes are annoying.

Não gostou The loud music from the club house - which could be heard from the tent pitches. The loud music went on until very late - not good for young children to sleep. The music was so loud, you could hear every single word of the song - soundproofing would be an idea. Especially as guests are expected to be quiet past a certain time. For reference the music finished about 11pm.

The ants all over the pitches - they were everywhere. I know it’s camping - but these ants were in everything. Something to be aware of when camping here. They even managed somehow to get in my fully sewn in ground sheet tent - with full mesh doors. They got into plastic storage boxes and in all the camping cupboards.

There was a long walk to the water tap and not much guidance on the whereabouts of the taps.

Gostou The beach wasn’t too busy & the view from the bistro was really lovely. From our view at the pitch we could see the lighthouse which was also lovely.

Não gostou On our 2nd night sleeping my partner got up to go to the toilet around 4:30am. Our neighbouring pitch was friendly and stopped him and told him there is a lad walking around the pitches and hiding behind the bathroom wearing all black and a balaclava. Our neighbour said he asked the lad what he was doing and he was very sheepish and said he was looking for his dog. When he saw him again our neighbour asked if he found his dog and the lad said he lived over the other side and still not found his dog but was going to head back.
Very scary as for 1 why is someone who isn’t on the campsite walking around our tents at 4:30am and 2 why was he wearing a balaclava?

My partner being desperate still went to the bathroom came back as he had run away and not seen him. The neighbour spoke to my partner and was trying to call the out of hours number and security as nobody was answering he even told us he had drove down to the guest services shack at the beginning of the campsite and nobody was there.

The morning after, when my partner told me I originally didn’t want to stay and cut our holiday short as I was frightened. To calm my nerves I went to guest services in the morning and explained what had happened. The lady behind the desk was lovely yet she had no idea, I asked is there security overnight I was told “to my knowledge”
After speaking to our neighbour he said he was told the security go home at 2:30am.
We ended up staying as we had drove nearly 6 hours to get there but my partner was up and down throughout the nights checking nobody was there.
I personally think for such a large campsite and there being no fences to stop people coming on throughout the night they should have security patrols at least until sunrise.

We also went for breakfast at the bistro. They didn’t have the food we wanted so we substituted for a different plate and when they bought it out my plate was missing sausages, toast and hashbrowns which we had paid extra for.

Gostou Lovely location and good facilities on site. Indoor pool was a bonus. Beautiful beach stones throw away and regular bus services to Porthminster and Carbis Bay beaches. Facilities cleaned regularly and well stocked shop.

Não gostou Bingo every night. Could have done with a better variety of entertainment.
