Date of Visit: May 2007 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Shirlandy 7 reviews from this member

 Can't really add anything to the other reviews about this site - it has won Campsite of the Year 2007, and this is well deserved.  By far and away the best site we have ever stayed on.  We had a luxury pitch and the facilities were great - and never a queue.
 
If we had had good weather, this would have been as good as it gets!

 Just returned from a short 4 day break at this site.
First thing to mention is that the weather was the worst for a spring bank holiday (this was country wide) with high winds, lashing rain and V cold temperatures. So this did take the shine off the experience.
Second, this was our first ever camping trip so I have no reference to compare the facilities.
We were located in the luxury pitches which were excellent, we had a large Diablo 900 tent and a big MPV and they were lost in the pitch. The luxury pitches have their own toilet block which comprises ~ 8 individual bathrooms with shower, toilet and one even had a bath (£1 charge).
The camp site facilities were very good with ample space for ball games, tennis pitch, badminton and volleyball .
The pool is kept at an unbelievable 70 deg. Which was the only reason we could use it given the very cold weather.
Minor gripe, the shop should be better stocked with provisions for making a meal other than a fry up. If you plan to self cater visit St Austell first. However the pubs we ate at were fantastic (Barley Sheaf, Crown) so I wouldn't bother cooking.
We plan to go again, hope the weathers better next time.

 We stayed here over Easter.  It was very quiet as they don't advertise they are open this early.  The facilities were excellent.  The toilets, showers and dishwashing areas were well presented and immaculate.  There is a microwave and small oven in the campers' kitchen. There were also baths available.  There is free badminton, tennis, crazy golf and table tennis, mostly in a separate field away from the tents.  It is a short walk to the beach, (but feels like a very long one on the way back up the hill!) and some pitches have sea views.    It is set in a lovely area near the sea with loads to do.  There is a shop on site and the staff were very friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and even opening the shop just for us a couple of times.  All in all an excellent site.

 We love this site and have been there for the past three years; excellent facilities, great pitches, helpful friendly staff (thanks, Wayne!), wonderful pool and just a great and totally relaxing place to be.

The perfect site for kids who like outdoor activities; a superb playing field, crazy golf, badminton, kids play area and plenty of space to bike, play ball or fly a kite - fab.

It's worth a walk to the nearby beach - just save some energy for that walk back up the (considerable) hill!

No disco or bar (hooray!), peace and quiet at night and altogether a superb place for a family holiday.

Now, if we could do something about the weather? 


Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: SCOOBYJASMINE 10 reviews from this member

 It was full last week of August and our pitch was small, with no "Seaview", wish we had booked a Luxury pitch. Roads to the site are narrow, although it is Cornwall. Site was busy and lots of children. Some liked to jump on the metal slide until it got dark which was annoying.

Our 8 year old enjoyed the site and was especially keen on the arcade machines!

The site has beautiful views if your pitch is in the right location. Toilets and showers are spacious and kept clean. They played the local radio station in the toilets and showers which was a nice touch. Crazy golf was free just £5 deposit for club and ball, refunded on return. Outdoor pool looked nice. It was okay just a bit to busy for us.

Reviewer: Gelderwelder 2 reviews from this member

 Lovely site with great pitches on the hardstanding all service pitches. The pool is good a little cloudy if busy. The takeaway is not always open but good value. The facilities are good and the laundry is excellent the best I have ever seen on a campsite. The pitches on the luxury site are very big but a bit overcrowded. The approach to the sites it very narrow and be aware if leaving after the deadline of 12 you will meet tractors in the lane. We were so impressed we have booked for 3 weeks this year as we had to cut short our holiday by 2 weeks this year due to our daughter having problems with her brace and getting an orthodontist in this area is like finding gold. 


Date of Visit: July 2006 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Helen chapman 6 reviews from this member

 This site is the best ever. More like staying in a hotel than a camp site. Everything is so clean and beautiful. Loads of space for the children to play. You can even get ice from reception which was very helpful in the heat. I could not fault anything at all with this site we will definitly go again.

Reviewer: HappyCamper99 3 reviews from this member

 Our second visit to Seaview International and again we were very pleased with our stay. We booked for a Friday to Friday over the Bank Holiday weekend but extended until the Sunday as the weather was fine and the campsite very peaceful. The toilet blocks had been changed since our last visit with the addition of individual cubicles in both the male and female. Everything was very clean and repeatably cleaned throughout the day. Excellent play facilities for the children and plenty of space on the pitches even with our large Diablo 900 we still had room for the table and chairs to be laid out without encroaching on the neighbours. We are going back again in the summer as the site is well placed for visiting Cornwall.

Reviewer: Gran 4 reviews from this member

 This was our fourth visit to this site over a period of about 20 years.and it still does not disappoint. Very clean, and for a large site, still has a quiet feel about it. On top of the hill so a bit windy but the views more than make up for that.
Very popular with family's with a large play area, dog friendly as well. Pool area is excellent, with a couple of BBQ's built into a small courtyard, which is a nice touch. Perhaps the shop could be extended a touch to cope with the customers, although it does stock all the essentials ie wine! 


Date of Visit: April 2006 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Drjbc 68 reviews from this member

 Reading these reviews it's clear there's a huge difference according to the time of year. We just stayed in mid April and thought this vied for being the best site we'd stayed at in 30 years, even by the high standards of the best continental sites. We were blessed with fine weather and could take the short walk to see the glorious camellias and magnolias in full flower at Caerhays Castle. Also the excellent coastal walking around the Dodman to Gorran Haven.

The facilities are everything you could wish, including kitchens, good sized showers, some toilet/wash-basin units and even family units with baths. Sometimes high quality facilities go with a rather authoritarian management style (cf Caravan Club sites!) but not so here, where the reception was outstandingly friendly and helpful. For instance, we wanted to take the St Austell brewery but there weren't any leaflets about it. No problem, they looked up the website for us and printed it out the details we needed.

Nor are the off-peak prices anything like as high as reviewers have mentioned for high season. Even in Easter week, for £12 we had a big selection of large pitches of croquet-standard lawn. In fact we were generously allowed to use one of the fully-serviced super-pitches with a fantastic view of the sea for no extra charge. The moral is: pick the best time to go!
