St Ives Bay Holiday Park

Tyckte om We liked the fact we could pick our own spot so we had plenty of choice as to where we could go. The toilets and shower block was spotless and was cleaned regularly. Staff were friendly in the Bistro bar, and the young lad in the shop was very friendly also. The beach walk was very nice and the site itself was situated quite close to the sites we wanted to visit.

Tyckte om Loved the views we were lucky to get a pitch in the dunes which was 5-10 minutes walk to the beach, there are 2 steep slopes down. I would recommend using the slope by the bar as this also has steps which makes the walk back up easier.
Laundrette facilities were a good price.
Good base to get to surrounding areas, we used the the bus to st Ives which stops 5 min walk from the entrance of the campsite.
We really enjoyed our holiday here.

Tyckte inte om Shower/wash facility needs updating, no where really to put clothes when showering just 2 hooks on the back of the door, so suggest taking everything in a bag. There was only 4 sinks in the toilet area to brush teeth and have a wash. These could get crowded at times.
If you have dietary requirements I would recommend bring your fav bits with you as I found it hard to get some treats. Shop had a very limited free from section, Lidl, which is the closest supermarket I found it difficult to get items in. There is a Asda in the centre of Hayle, which does have better options.

Tyckte om Access to the beach was good

Tyckte inte om Not enough water taps near our pitches - and the one tap we did find sprayed us with water soaking us whilst we were filling water bottles.

'Bistro'... that is a bit of a stretch. More like a school canteen. Squashed peas and chips all over the floor, empty glasses on every table. Sticky mess on every surface so couldn't put our bags on the floor or the table. Rubbish lined up all along the edges of the outside areas.

Bar had run out of prosecco on a Friday night of bank holiday at 7pm. Only one bottle left and it was warm. Sunday afternoon they had run out of ice.

When we arrived no one could be bothered to show us where the empty pitches were so we drove around in the heat trying to find them until someone eventually found us and helped.

Loud disco every night with music thumping and people walking home past our tent shouting when it was finished.

Lots f cars driving up and down the campsite so not safe to let kids ride around on their bikes. The campsite basically had a road going through it.

Just been asked to review WIFI and didn't even know there was any.

Pool was fully booked throughout our stay so didn't get to use it.

Tyckte om The beach is awesome. Check in staff were nice. It's super handy to have the on site shop (and Lidl just down the road). This place is ALL about beach, dunes, location.

Tyckte inte om The price (electric camping pitch) was ridiculous. I booked in advance and it cost me so much per night we only stayed 2 nights. When we were there last minute pitches were available at about one third of the cost I'd paid. And cheaper non-electric pitches were empty and advertised too - none showed as available when I booked. For the price I paid (over £200 for 2 nights) - facilites were really poor. Showers are push button and non adjustable temperature. Washing up facilities outside and not great. All facilities a bit dated. Cleaners left showers/toilets clean but we found people didn't look after them, by evening every shower had someone else's rubbish left in it.

Pitches vary a lot - there are a few really good pitches but you'd be extremely lucky to arrive and find one empty. Most are side by side and lack privacy or a dune view. We had neighbours close on both sides of a sloped pitch that looked onto the track. The other empty pitch when we turned up was over a drain cover and covered in ant powder and traps! (Not what you want for £100+pn).

Swimming pool (indoor) is small, super over-crowded, and noisy (loud music) - it was a reason we'd booked but we only stayed in about half an hour, a disappointment, not really possible to swim and certainly not relaxing. Site bar was nice to have but high prices for what it offers. Shop prices also high, not unexpected but did mean we mainly went out to shop. Guys in the surf school were really helpful and friendly, we'd got back for kids surf lessons with them (but maybe stay off site!)

It's such a shame this place is so overpriced! Given what's on offer at the cost - the only reason to go is the awesome beach.

Tyckte om Proximity to beach
Restaurant ordering system and food was good

Tyckte inte om Very disorganised non electric campervan pitches with people all over the place and taking up more than 1 allocated pitch... cramped feeling
No staff checking the pitches or discipline of people parking each day
Toilets were unclean and needing upgrade

Tyckte om Everything the pitch sizes are very generous stunning views easy access to beautiful beaches you wont be disappointed ! Travel to other stunning places to visit around Cornwall is not really far away every day a different beach a new beautiful experience
A must try is philps pasty shop and the sundea shop in the carpark both are highly recommended also would highly recommend hayle kebabs and wok and roll Chinese for a cheeky takeaway 😀 dynamite staff are amazing fab entertainment and bingo prizes are soooo high

Tyckte inte om Food on site was shocking 😲 really wouldn't recommend eating on site the breakfast 4 of us ordered was very overcooked
Decided to try breakfast for a 2nd time in our stay i didn't order the breakfast thankfully! Poached egg on toast consisted of 1 slice of extremely burnt toast with 2 eggs that was shriveled up like rubber and inedible so we're the breakfasts over £60 for this is not acceptable
