 We enjoyed a fantastic Spring Bank Holiday week here. Wonderfully green grass pitches - we were right at the end of the site. Very quiet and peaceful. Excellent facilities, lovely beach,easy access to Newquay - and we were blessed with brilliant weather(which always helps!). Will come again!

 We stayed here at Easter. This is one of the best sites we have stayed on the staff are friendly and the pitches are very well laid out, but the best thing about this site is the state of the art shower/toilet block they were in my opinion five star and cleaned very frequently. Ten shower cubicles in each male and female toilets and there were loads of sinks .There is no club or pool but there is a bistro and a pub just outside the camp and over the road there is one of the best beaches Cornwall has to offer.

There is a fire break between the pitches so if you want to put up an annexe on your awning you will have to ask the staff for a suitable pitch.

As you are in a valley the tv reception was quite poor so you will need loads of DVDs or an aerial on a pole.

All in all I cant recommend this site enough if you want peace and relaxation on a family holiday then this is for you.

We will definitely be going back.

A pleasant site situated 200 meters from the beach. Booking in was a simple enough procedure handled by pleasant staff. Our pitch was by the river, which had wooden benches for guests to view or supervise children fishing. The site was a combination of grass and hardstandings. The toilet block was large,spotless clean and sufficient toilet and shower cubicles for the busiest of days. A laundry & dishwashing facilities were also clean. Opposite the site entrance is a bus stop for Newquay or Padstow. We chose the 35 minute cliff top walk into Newquay. A mini-market close to the site entrance provides newspapers and foodstuffs and next door a cafe provides take-away service or a sit down snack, we purchased hot pasties from the oven. There is a pub nearby (which was rather full)and there are pleasant walks from the site. We had a very pleasant stay, my only critical comment would be the pitches are rather close to one another and therefore noisy alhough this curtailed at midnight. It seemed very popular with tents and caravans during our stay.

After an enjoyable Bank Holiday at Porth last year, my Husband and I booked this campsite again and brought our tent. As there is a Mini rally to Newquay every May Bank holiday we took our Mini (and less camping gear) and met up with some old friends who were travelling too.

After driving 300 miles from Derbyshire I was informed by the extremely rude staff that we weren't allowed to camp because we knew other people on the site!!!

At first they suggested that we could not enter or leave the park or have a conversation in a group of more than 5 people (This isn't a joke!!)

Wait for this. Someone with mobility problems, travelling with his wife, 2 children and parents were told the parents could not stay as this constituted a group! The battle-axe later apologised but too late as they ad already camped elsewhere.

We were told by a very rude woman that even if we had pitched and we had been 'caught' talking to other people we would have been thrown out! (they patrol the park looking for people in groups (her words not mine).

I've been going to this campsite for years now, and have dragged various family members, friends etc along too. Fantastic site, best loos and showers I have come across, friendly staff, dog friendly (which is essential for us), and all within easy walking distance of beautiful beaches, and more importantly Newquay for it's nightlife and atmosphere. Well recommended, even if the weather's pants which is was on both visits this year. Book early to avoid disappointment - seriously you wont get in on a whim in the summer!

We arrived at this site on the hope of being allocated a pitch. Our booked pitch was in Looe, but the camp site there was a total disappointment. Rather than leave Cornwall after only one nights stay, we decided to seek an alternative site in Porth, Newquay. Although Porth Tourist site was fully booked, we managed to get a pitch, due to a cancellation.

The site was lovely. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Each tent and caravan had to have a certain amount of space between its neighbour for safety reasons. This gave us a feeling of privacy and space.

The toilets and showers were cleaned three times each day and well maintained. There were seperate washing blocks if you wanted a body wash or had young children to wash. A baby bath with shower was also present.
Each sink/basin had a cloth with it so the puplic could wipe it after use.

There was a river running through the site and our son enjoyed fishing in it.
Across the raod was the beautiful beach with its little river and water pools. Our daughter spent endless hours in her dingy and rubber ring, whilst we looked on.

Across the road, next to the beach, was a nice pub if you wanted to go out.
We also enjoyed the lovely walks across the cliffs.Another pleasure we exprienced was the evening visit of wild rabbits. It was lovely to watch them playing, very relaxing.

The site was spotless, quiet at night and gave you a feeling of security.
A great place for families with children of various ages. We felt our children were safe.

We had a brilliant time here. The pub across the road was very accommodating,food, drink, entertainment, and an easy stagger home. We had a river side pitch (which didn't look like it had seen sunshine for months)which the kids could walk down to the beach We spent each day on a different beach, then back to the tent and straight round the pub. The kids spent most of the evening kicking about on the beach while we watched from the veranda of the pub.
Shower and toilet block very civilised, all in all, very easy. Great holiday

We stayed here in a tent on a nice flat pitch. The beach,(with lifeguards),is just over the road, u can hear the sea from your bed! A very family orientated site, a bit restrictive for us young couples, and the town is a little too far away to reach by foot,(especially those encased in heels of the high variety). Also the showers are free but u must repeatedly press the button to make them work, tricky with shampoo in your eyes. Hard working and freindly staff do this site proud, however i still prefer quarryfeilds site near crantock beach, good for noisy campers and a larger more secluded beach.
