Not stayed there in the van but know the area well from holidays when the kids were little, used to stay at B & B between Porth and Newquay. Hope you have a great time,

Whereabouts in Derbyshire are you? we are at Belper and the OH is a rams fan plus sis is a match steward,

 Ayup Jane H and Andy. Answer to your questions: We are from Spondon, The home of the famous " Pong " Although it doesn't smell much now days! Seriously it's not a bad place to live. And Mawgan Porth is further up the coast than Holywell Bay. Newquay is slap bang in the middle of the two resorts.

                                        Cheers, Ant.

Now you got me worried

dont worry about the hills , yes there is a steep hill "downhill" aproaching mawgan porth village, but its used by all types of trafic including busses and artics, and should,nt be any trouble, the aproach to site is narow though so care is needed ,but double deckers use the same road.

site is lovely with a safe path to beach, also some of those wooden picnic benches scattered around,which you have to look for a spare one and cary it to your pitch.

this was ideal when we had a fortnight with motorbike and tent.

beach nice with public toilets, pasty and snack shop and a great pub.

enjoy

Not posted for yonks! But like to check in here...

We're off to Mawgan Porth on the 12th, stopping at Magic Cove. We love it!

Tis a bit steep going in, but never seen anybody stuck, yet, lol. And it has the best view ever, imho.

See you there!!??

Do you know which pitch is number 11 as I've looked at the aerial picture on google maps to try and get an idea of where we'll be but it don't go that close in (just trying to work out which way I'm gonna get  the van in, too used to just driving onto a pitch on all the rallies we've been going on lately)
