 Very rundown, needs updating,
Pitches too close together,
When it rained the awning flooded
On leaving we had to do a three point turn to get off the pitch
Will not be going back

This site is situated on some of the best Cornish coast lines,
Very popular with all the amenities you need.
The pitches are large enough so you have plenty of space,
Would go back to this site again.

Really enjoyed the site and the area. The site is a five minute walk to the beach which is clean.
The site was clean and toilet block checked and cleaned regularly.
Only issue was the 20p for 3 minute shower with 40p being a maximum and also the showers were dirty after people came from the beach so it would have been handy to have some cleaning equipment at the showers so people could clean up after themselves.

Clean, very COVID aware. Efficient staff. We had a problem finding our pitch as they weren’t marked out very well, but hey, if that’s you’re biggest problem on a camping holiday then you’re doing ok.
Small walk to the beach although may be a difficult uphill walk back for some. It is a gentle slope and you’re on holiday so take your time 👍. Large flat pitch and a very reasonable Price.
A smashing park for the little ones. We’ll be back

We were looking forward to our stay but unfortunately with the covid-19 the trip was cancelled. Looking forward on our future trip if we're to survive this dreadful virus.

We have recently returned from our 3rd visit to Harlyn Sands. We spent two weeks on the Beachfield, which does not have any facilities, this is not an issue as we have our own toilet. The views from the beachfield are fabulous and this makes up for the short walk to the sites main facilities. Swimming pool, showers etc.
This year the cleanliness of the site had vastly improved, the toilets were always spotless and the staff seemed more enthusiastic towards their jobs.
The prices for this site are excellent, when you consider that you can walk to the beach in 5 mins. Other sites which may be slightly more polished charge over £30 per night for the same type of locations and facilities.
We will be returning again next year for another two weeks.

An average site for an average price.
Good points, short walk to the beach, bar prices good, kids entertainment and play areas good. Didn't try the food or the pool ( extra money).
Bad points. Pitches seem to be taken over by groups who think they own the place, music blaring from dawn to dusk, complaining to staff didn't sort it out. Only 10 showers for at our reckoning 140 pitches so long queues in an evening. The pre mentioned toilet paper issues. Not the cleanest or tidiest site.
BUT would go back and go in the beach field with only ehu and taps as its a lot cheaper and much bigger pitches.
But the greatest problem but far is when you arrive, the site and surrounding areas are of the single track variety and there traffic management system is woeful. People unhitching and pushing into fields and utter carnage that could be made easier with some instructions when booking. Follow a map and approach through the golf club.

I stayed on this site many years ago when my now 26-year-old daughter was just 8 or 9 - so I thought I knew what to expect. I knew the location of the site was absolutely fabulous, beautiful scenery and a lovely short walk down to the most marvellous Harlyn Beach.
The pitches themselves are flat and with enough space (provided you don't have a mahoosive van or tent!) with an electric hook-up included in the price of the pitch - again, the price of the pitch was very reasonable (considering it was the Easter hols!)
If you have children there is a lovely, safe park for them to play in (much updated since our previous visit!) and there seems to be lots of entertainment (including an Easter Egg hunt on the Easter Sunday we were there). I understand the food/drink in the clubhouse is reasonable - we didn't use it because we have a dog.
Small shop, adequate for basic stuff (like milk, bread and cider - haha) and seemed to keep good hours.
Indoor swimming pool - looked like fun.
The staff we met were extremely pleasant and helpful, from the reception to the shop to the handyman!
The downsides are these:
Toilets - old and shabby with communal toilet roll dispensers (very frustrating if you rush in and forget to get any!)
Showers - even older and shabbier - also no curtain to keep the dry part dry (I went in one but it was so soaking wet I couldn't use it as I couldn't put my dry stuff anywhere)
It's a dog friendly site (hurray!) but unfortunately, there seemed to be only one dog waste bin (on the path down to the beach)
Taps/standpipes for water seemed very sparse and some of them didn't work.
All in all however, I would recommend it for its fantastic location, reasonable prices and if you are a family, with children, plenty to keep the little ones amused.

This was well priced for a the school holidays but the site leaves a lot to be desired. The Beach field has no toilets, bins or washing facilities. While we were there it was strewn with litter including a sanitary towel and glass bottles. The facilities are very tired, not particularly clean and insufficient for the numbers of people staying, resulting in frequent queues for toilets and showers in the mornings. Bizarrely, toilet paper dispensers are located outside the toilet block and you have to take in what you need! With toilets being a 5 minute walk from the Beach Field, you would be well advised to take a camp toilet if you have one.
The showers cost 20p for 3 minutes which is inconvenient as the coin box is outside the cubicle and a bit of a cheek given the poor condition of them.
The entertainment was pretty good and the kids were happy, with staff even joining guests on the beach for sandcastle competitions and crab races on one day.
The Pool is OK, but you do have to pay extra for that. There is a water slide that they open up for 10 minutes every hour if they have staff available with a shallow and a deeper pool. It is however a bit grubby with names scratched into the scum in one area. The lights were not working in the changing rooms during our visit and there were no showers, but it looks like they are in the process of installing some new ones.
You can however, forgive the site for some of it's failings given the location. Camping in the Beach field you are only 2 or 3 mins walk from the beach, which is a great beach, reasonably sheltered and felt safe. You are also within walking distance of a Lifeboat station, Lighthouse, a great coastal path and some other nice bays.
Overall the facilities are tired, a bit grubby, insufficient and there seems to be an approach of make do and mend. There are better beach side sites, but for the price and allowing for the location you can look past some of these failings.
