I would recommend Polmanter in St Ives.  Excellent facilities.  Closed to some beautiful clean beaches.  There is a local bus services which picks you up at the campsite and takes you into St Ives which saves all the hassle of parking. The site has a pool and a lovely play park for children.

I would also suggest Camping Caradon near Polperro.  This is a much smaller site, no pool, but again close to lovely beaches and again has a local bus service which takes you from the site to the centre of Looe.

Two sites I would recommend:

Little Treverrick (the sister site to Polmanter), near Carbis Bay/ St. Ives.  A much quieter site than Polmanter.  It has a swimming pool, generally large pitches, but no clubhouse.

This year we stayed at Globe Vale, a delightful site near to Redruth.  A little bit further from the beach (about 3 miles to Porthowan and Portreath) but well worth the visit.  Owners very friendly and helpful and the site/ toilet block is immaculately kept.  Childrens playground on site and a small bar area where the adults can sit and supervise the children while having a pint.  They also do some meals, but it is not noisy or club-like.  Absolutely worth a visit.  I have written a report for UKCampsites but it has not yet benn added - hence this post.
