 We have just come back from this site and I have mixed opinion on it. I thought the facilities were ok but needed updating and there really should be another toilet block. The showers were very small especially the drying area. I didn't think they were that clean but they weren't really disgusting. There was a lot of rain last week and there was water everywhere which the owners cant do a lot about but our pitch was flooded and underneath was like a bog. The pitches are uneven and didn't cope with the rain. On the Friday our neighbours left and on the Saturday new ones came and I didn't think the pitch was very good to take another tent on so soon. Our pitch was in a right state by the time we took our tent up. The owners seemed quite friendly. I think this site needs more maintenance on it as there were little niggly things like a constantly running tap all week in the toilets and broken guttering. Overall I wouldn't say that we wont go back because I feel it is a pleasant site but just needs a few things doing to it to make it better.
Owner's comments:
Many thanks for you review Yorksbabe, may I take this opportunity to reply.
I am saddened to hear you feel the maintenance of the park is not good enough. The tap, you mentioned, dripped because we tried 4 different parts to correct the fault. Unfortunately, in the end, we found out our type of tap has been superseded and therefore the new parts would not work. We had two options - Let the tap drip, or turn off the supply of water to the sink and then replace the whole unit when the season was over. This would have meant one less sink for our guests to use and we did not want this to happen. I have also inspected all guttering and cannot find any sections broken or missing.
I hope this helps explain your points and we look forward to welcoming you again.

Just returned from here after 14 nights and would say not the greatest site like everyone said it is. For a start toilets let it down not very clean and could do with a family room for people with young kids, some people don't bother mopping after themselves.
Pool great if you get the weather. Play park not great and the ground in the site if wet smells of sou-age.
The shop does open at funny times and the pool should open later at night when the weather is good.
No where to walk if you like to explore only round site roads.
Owner's comments:
Many thanks for taking the time to place a review Rod2309. May I offer the following comments to help explain.
The toilets and showers are cleaned by a team of 6 people, three times a day. After each cleaning cycle an inspection takes place to ensure our high standards. Weather conditions this year did make this job more difficult, however, the high standard was still maintained.
Our playground cost £19,000 so I am sorry this failed to meet your requirements. We do recommend watching our park video on our website to make sure our facilities meet the requirements of our guests.
Our park shop opens at 8:30am until 2pm and then from 4:30pm to 7:00pm everyday, I not quite sure how these are "funny times".
The swimming pool closes at 6pm for a number of reasons. Firstly it was recommended by our local Health and Safety Officer, secondly it ensure crystal clear water quality and thirdly it ensures minimal heat loss which enables us to maintain the pool at 84 degrees.

My family and I stayed for a week on this site in July 2006. This is a touring only site with no statics. We enjoyed a very pleasant holiday here which was helped by the exceptionally good weather.
The site has good sized pitches with electric hook up. Some pitches are seperated by hedging which affords a degree of privacy.
There is a shop on site from which you can also buy hot food to take away. The toilet / shower block on the site was a good size and seemed to be cleaned regularly.
The outdoor swimmiming pool was very good and you could spend hours just lazing by it if the weather was right. Mevagissey was not far away and the town of St. Austell was also within easy reach.
In summary a good site that few could find fault with.

Visited here first week of summer hols,arrived early and as pitch was free we were allowed to pitch straight away.Really lovely campsite,great pool area, great launderette.Our tent was on a very slight slope but most pitches fairly level.
We visited Gorran Haven beach,Caerhays was closest and lovely,can park right near beach.
We also travelled further into Cornwall to seal sanctuary then on to St Ives.
We used a great indoor play Zone in St Austell.
Supermarkets at St Austell, the Asda does have a very busy car park and were almost gridlocked at one point!
Mevagissey is very near campsite,beautiful Cornish fishing port,great for ice creams and pasties.
We liked it so much we are booked in again this year,cant wait,just hope the British weather is kind to us!

We stayed at this campsite august 2007, we are booked to go again this year in august, it will be our 4th year staying here. We choose Tregarton because the reviews for the campsite seemed so positive and we were not dissapointed, the people that run the campsite are so friendly nothing is too much trouble, you are made to feel so welcome.
The shop is well stocked fresh bread cakes pastries etc,. The campsite is clean and well maintained, the pool is great as we have always been very lucky with the weather we have spent most days at the pool which our daughters love and then spend the evening in mevagissy which is not too far away.
If the odd day was not so good then there is plenty of places to visit Newquay, Looe, Polpero,Bodmin and many more, my only gripe is that as far as I am aware there is no public transport to and from tregarton so a car is a must but other than that I recommend this campsite to everyone its fantastic and we are counting down the weeks till we are there again.

What a great site! Really friendly staff, we have never had our van pitched and levelled for us before but its all part of the service. Really good take away, we all had curry which was delicious.Only managed to use the pool a couple of times due to poor weather but it was very warm and clean. A couple of miles down the road is Lobbs farm shop (next door to Heligan) which we used almost daily, really good meats and bread. Would definitely use again.

What a lovely site and great value for money.
Pitches spacious, hedged, and grass neatly cut. We were even guided to our pitch and the owner then pitched and levelled the caravan for us, great after an 8 hour drive! No stress.
On arrival we were given a welcome pack which contained details and leaflets for practically every tourist attraction in Cornwall. Very handy including a free map, which was well dog eared by the time we got home.
There is a tennis court, badminton area, grassed area and a childrens play park, all immaculate. Also a lovely swimming pool.
The shower block,toilets were always clean, no matter what time they were used. 5 showers(2 wider than the rest)9 loos, separate room with washbasins, hair dryer(20p lasts ages). For 9.50 a night you can't ask for more.
There is a separate room for disabled requiring personal radar key.
Washing up area(covered)with a lovely fresh laundry snell because next to laundry room. The washing machines are £4.00 but this includes the washing powder dispensed automatically into each machine, hence the lovely smell. Big dryers and ironing facilities. Spotless.
Dog walking area/field.
Sloping site but this not a problem unless you really struggle getting about.
There is nothing within walking distance by way of shops or pubs, so transport definitly required. There is a small shop in reception for the basics, plus wines and beer, prices not too bad. Plus a small takeaway service between 5 and 6 each night.(pre order only)
Would recommend visiting St. Ives(park and ride)
Newquay/Padstow. There are some lovely coves/beaches between Newquay and Padstow. Porth corran is beautiful. If you visit Lizrd point, try the cafe overlooking the point. Good food, home made and delicious deserts! You can even take your own wine and visit later in the day to make it really special. Friendly proprietors.
Martins dairy in Looe is excellent for a cream tea!(but there are many more!)
All in all a great holiday and highly recommended

Spent 5 nights here - 2 adults and a 2 year old and 1 year old. Lovely site, pool and playground great. Agree with all that's been said. John Deere was out most of the day, but he does empty bins too. Toilet block a bit on the old side, but always spotlessly clean.
Our only negative was there was no bath or larger family bathroom. This site is a family site and therefore this is a big omission. Coming back from the beach it would have been great to put the children straight in the bath. In my experience children don't like showers and anyway the showers here are barely big enough for one, particulalry the drying area! We would gladly pay extra for a bath/ family bathroom.
Gorran Haven is a lovely beach with good facilities. Car park £2.50 all day now.
We will go back.

Lovely site - would have been better if it hadn't rained most of the week! Clean toilet/showers although shower cubicles on the small side. Peaceful and scenic. We were pitched on 101 at the bottom of the site - a sharp slope down towards us and the dog walk path next to us so the rain seemed to come at us from all directions! Not sites fault of course but if we return we would opt fot a pitch on the upper level - better views there too! Good shop on site, not too over-priced. Takeway ok. Pool lovely if we'd have had the weather! Would recommend.

We (two adults and one 8 year old) spent 7 nights at this site. We have a large tent and the pitch we had booked was enormous. The facilities were clean and the staff friendly and helpful. This is a great site for families. There are some good beaches nearby as well as some interesting places to visit (e.G. The Lost Gardens of Heligan). We will be booking again.
