 Stayed for 16 nights June/July 09. We originally booked for 4 nights, but the weather was lovely and we liked the site, so we stayed for 16 nights and saw much of the Cornish coastline.
We arrived early, but they kindly let us pitch up. The site is easy to find, but please follow the site's instructions, as there is a very tight bend from the other direction.
The site is generally sloping. We had a grass pitch. The hard standing were flatter, with better views, but were fully booked. The grass pitch was fine, but they are a bit close together and most will require blocks. Moving a twin axle around this site needs some care when the site is full.
Well stocked shop, with very friendly and helpful staff. The outdoor pool was lovely and free. It is heated was very warm. Plenty of sun loungers. Just perfect for relaxing.
The toilet blocks were very clean and well maintained, with good facilities, but there were the normal queues for the showers at peak times. I believe they are putting in extra facilities.
Reasonable sized dog walk, with stunning veiws across the valley. Pitch and put and tennis available.
Lots to see within 1/2 hour drive. Looe is a few minutes drive away and has plenty of pubs and restaurants. It's a pretty fishing village. Polperro, Patstow, Megavissy etc, all easy to get to from Looe.
You need to drive virtually everywhere from this site, no little country pub within easy walking.
Overall a very nice and well maintained CC site, but the plots are a bit tight.

We arrived on 22 May. Loads of pitches free and because of the impending glorious weather we went for a grass pitch with electric hook up. Lovely. This site has both grass and hard standing although the hard standing are further away from the reception and pool etc.
Fantastic staff. Your newspaper saved for you daily and of course being in Cornwall. The cream teas were on sale.A lovely shop with all emergency supplies !
There is a farm shop approx 200 yards away. That is worth a visit as well.
A lovely heated pool and crazy golf and tennis for the more active. We had 9 nights here and had only one bad day with the weather.
Looe is only 2 miles from the campsite. We also visited Polperro and Fowey. Two other beautiful Cornish villages. We also drove to St Ives about an hour and 20 mins away. Worth the effort. Lovely place.
On the wet day we went to Plymouth approx 30 mins away. Lots to do here.
We loved it here. Obviously the weather always helps and we are now looking forward to our second trip to Cornwall in July.

This is a typical Caravan Club site. The wardens were pleasant and the site was clean. We were allowed to pick our own pitch and we didn't have any trouble setting up. Only one toilet block was open but this didn't cause us any problems and the toilets and showers were clean. We set up at the bottom of the site and thought it excellent. There was electric hook-up and plenty of space.
If you turn left out of the gate there is a nice farm shop and further on turn left at the boats with the flowers and you come to a small parade of shops with a very good bakers. There's a spar shop further on. Looe is nice to visit with beaches for the kids. Park next to petrol station or over the bridge on the right. Make sure you get pasty and cake from the 'Looe Bakers'
If you visit Polperro check parking charges! Polruan is pretty with a ferry across to Fowey. Try 'Brown Sugar' for coffee and 'Kittow's deli' for unbelievable local made quiches and pies. Or the lovely lady there makes up french sticks while you wait.
We're boring old people who like walking on the cliffs but there are plenty of beaches and family things in and around the area. We'll certainly be going back.

This wonderful site has all the usual Caravan Club benefits but also happens to be sited in one of the nicest places ever. The views are fantastic, walking is superb and if you need it there is plenty of public transport. Facilities are spotless and the wardens friendly and helpful. Looe has a wide variety of shops, restaurants and cafes. The best traditional pasties are from Sara's pasty shop. One word of warning. If you venture to Polperro avoid the Chip Ahoy fish and chip shop. Overpriced, unfriendly staff and I swear my camper has a more regular oil change.

So once you've seen a CC site, you've seen them all. Well no, not exactly. The site is situated on the side of a hill and is split into two - a hard standing area where the pitches are terraced, and a grassed area where the vast majority of pitches are sloping. In both areas the pitches are fairly small and in the grassed area very close (back to back). For that reason we pitched on one of the four pitches directly above the crazy golf course. While you are relatively far apart, you will need a substantial quantity of blocks if you want to be level.
If you do have difficulty in manoeuvring on or off your pitch - and I'd say this is the tightest Club site to manoeuvre in - the wardens will help with their mini tractor.
That said, in all other respects, this is a typical Club site.
The outdoor swimming pool was a hit with the kids and remained warm throughout our stay.
Turn left out of the site and then turn left at the junction with the two boats and you will find a Londis and also a fish and chip shop (best in Cornwall according to the woman who runs the adjacent B&B). If you turn right, there is a well stocked farm shop about three miles on the right.
When going into Looe, park in the car park adjacent to the petrol station. The one by the harbour is much more expensive and charges apply 24 hours a day.
The best beach in the area is at Seaton. Lots of space, lots of parking and fairly safe. The beachside cafe does good food and drinks to take out.

The wardens very friendly and helpful although the site itself a little disappointing as pitches very close together on the grass area, plus it had been raining constantly so very muddy. The pitches at the bottom of the site are hardstanding with much more room. Had a few incidents with young teenagers acting up at night which is a first on a Caravan Club site.

We stayed here for three weeks, and sadly almost drowned there was so much rain! The rain did sadly have a considerable effect on a large part of the site, despite a lot of hard work on the part of the wardens, who always managed a smile in the most difficult of circumstances.
The facilities were quite 'tired', but so long as the local council get their finger out there will be extensive upgrading going on later in the year. Having said that, they were quite usable, and generally clean, certain lazy campers excepted.
Unfortunately, I think that for the size of the site they could do with losing about 30 pitches - I prefer to have a little more space between pitches. In addition, several of the rows of grass pitches back onto each other, making this situation appear worse. Many people (me included) had all sorts of problems getting on and off the pitches due to the minimal room available. It will be interesting to see if this improves with the site works at the end of the season.
The pool was great though - warm and clean and rarely packed. The site was clean and well kept, and the wardens always on the 'go' ensuring it remained that way. Two tennis courts, mini crazy golf & play area kept the kids amused in dry weather, but these may all be changed with the site redevelopment.
It was an ideal base to explore much of Cornwall - Looe itself is a fantastic place. If you've got kids, take them crabbing in the harbour.Hours of fun for minimal outlay. Parking is plentiful several hundred yards from the town centre.
Would thoroughly recommend the Golden Guinea restaurant in Looe town centre,and the Harbour Moon on the harbour front. Great food at good prices, with cracking service. Also worth a visit are the Tom Sawyer at Hannafore and the Jubilee Inn at Pelynt.
Interesting days out can be found at Charlestown (45 mins), Bodmin Jail (45 mins), Mevagissey (45 mins) and Polperro. If going to Polperro, don't use the 'Chips Ahoy' restaurant near the harbour front; worst fish & chips we've ever had! Sadly they were followed a close second by the chip van that visited the site.
The tight conditions apart, this is a nice site in an ideal location.

This is a typical Caravan Club site, perfectly located just above Looe. The amenities are to standard Club specification but are starting to look a little tired (due for update this year). The dog walk is small but adequate.
The grass pitches are generally all sloping and some require the use of blocks to achieve level. They are also quite closely spaced, so there are specific pitching instructions which you ignore at your peril! Many of the rows of pitches are back-to-back and you may well get to be very familiar with your neighbours.
There are also substantial numbers of hardstandings.
We stayed before, after and during school half-term. During the busy half-term week we never had to queue for showers but, bizarrely, when the site was virtually empty we were queuing every day! This is because the wardens decided to lock-off showers and toilet cubicles - presumably to keep them clean.
This is a site we will return to.

We've just got back from an out-of-season long weekend away at this lovely CC site.
The wardens were very nice and helpful on arrival.
We were told to choose our own pitch (they were only using the hard-standing section of the site as it was February/out-of-season).
Large pitches, some flat some slightly sloping. Most had views of Looe Bay in the February sunshine. Washroom/washing-up facilities were up to the usual very high CC standard and were heated 24 hours a day.
From the site you can walk into Looe (approx 1.5 - 2 miles downhill - watch it on the way back!) with fantastic views overlooking the town/harbour/bay. Alternatively, there's a bus stop outside Looe Bay Holiday Park 100yrds up the road!
About half-way down to Looe there is a row of 'handy' shops, including an off-licence, newsagents, fish & chip shop and cafe. There is also a pub there but we didn't try it out this time! Looe itself has plenty to offer.
Lots of pubs, cafes, restaurants, tearooms and shops. It is a VERY DOGGIE-FRIENDLY town. Try Daisys Tearooms as your 4-legged friends are allowed inside with you! Plenty to see and do in the harbour/beach area too, although there is an ALL YEAR ROUND dog ban on the main beach now! :o( Walk to Hannafore (3/4 mile from the bridge) for great views of Looe (St Georges) Island.
We also walked the wooded trail of Kilingforth Woods (the entrance can be found on the left-hand side of Millpool car park - looking towards the estuary). When the tide is out you can follow the estuary route. The birdlife is wonderful. We saw allsorts, including herons and little egrits.
All in all Looe is a great place to visit and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the CC site as a great place to stay.

Usual Caravan Club super facilities toilet block and showers all kept clean and tidy, good hot water. We were there August week leading up to the Bank Holiday and found only a couple of times did we have to wait for a shower - when the pool had just closed and lots of swimmers arrive. Hard standing pitches were well laid out - we stayed on the grass pitch at the end of the Hard Standings worth remembering this was lovely and flat and nice for the children to play on and had a view of Looe Bay.
Very good sized area for children to play on but could be improved with some seating for adults to keep an eye on them.
The pool is a real winner - a shallower one for small children too, with lifeguard on duty, both were nicely kept and heated.
You can catch a bus from the adjoining Holiday Looe Bay Holiday Park into Looe or Plymouth, or walk to the Church on the bend and have a chance of catching the town bus, we found the walk into Looe too far for children. Large car park in Looe - over the bridge and turn right. Or change bus at the bridge in Looe and go on to Polperro for the day, its quaint and not too spoilt, there is a free lift down to the village (cars not permitted) in a landrover but some prefer to pay for the horse & cart
