We turned up a bit early here but were still met with a smile and taken to our hardstanding pitch in the fully serviced pitching area. This area must be very popular as all the hardstandings were full - most of them were seasonal pitches though. EHU, water and waste on each pitch and there are grass pitches (with the same facilities) available in this area. There are 2 or 3 more separate camping areas also on site (one was being used for a rally at the time we were staying on site).
Small, central and very, very clean toilet block with 3 showers, 4 toilets (one with a sink) and 3 sinks. I always seemed to have them all to myself! There are family rooms also available. Dustbins and recycling nearby and an indoor washing up area too.
The information room is packed with ideas and leaflets and had a broadband connection for your use (free). They have recently had Wi-Fi installed and currently you get 2 hours a day (from the time you log on) but it's only available in certain 'hot spots' (inside the information room and bar area).
There is a small bar/restaurant on site run by nice, friendly staff who live on site. Unfortunately it was the end of their season when we stayed so the choice of both food and drinks was limited to whatever was left over! Mind you, the lasagne we had was lovely so we were happy campers!
The Coast to Coast cycle track (to Portreath or Devoran) is just across the road from the site. We biked into Portreath - very bumpy track
And some quiet(ish) roads to be negotiated but pleasant. It was uphill most of the way back though (ask my legs!). The Wheal Peevor tin mines are a 5 minute stroll away from the site - worth a wander around too.
A nice quiet site.

I visited this campsite and it is quiet and family friendly. We had a serviced pitch this time but the facilities were close by. The toilets/washing facilities are excellent.
They are immaculate and the water pressure is very good and the showers are hot not luke warm as in most other campsites I have visited. They have family rooms/disabled facilities with ample space for washing young ones.
There is an area for washing wetsuits etc, so no sand in the showers. The campsite has a small bar where you can play pool and darts and a play area outside. The bar also does food eat in and takeaway, but I did not sample this time.
The owners and staff are very friendly and showed us to our pitch and made sure the pitch was adequate as we had an awning approx 10 mtrs with 2 annexes. A wave acknowledgement was always exchanged when entering/exiting site which I thought was a nice personal touch.
The site is just off A30 Redruth and close to Porthtowan, Portreath, and favourites of ours Godrevy Point and Gwithian beaches. I also noticed the cycle track just outside the campsite so will be taking our bikes next time we stay!

This is our third year at Globe Vale and this must rate as one of our favourite sites. The details in this review are in addition to my previous reviews on the site having tried not to repeat information from previous years.
We paid £25 a night for two adults and one teenager on a hard standing pitch with electric hook-up, water hook-up and drain away. For a site in Cornwall during the peak holiday period, this is a very competitive price.
This site is certainly worth a visit from anyone who wants a central location to visit all areas of Cornwall and I can thoroughly recommend it. The site has just been granted a 12 month licence, so I expect it will soon be open throughout the year.
On the surface, the site remains very much the same, but the site have spent money and time laying electric to the very top field where they have also installed a small toilet block.
Paul has also almost completed more ‘hard standing pads’ in the static caravan area as well are replacing the floor of the main toilet block because of a problem. There is a new information centre this year located near the reception.
The site now has fields that can and are used for rallies without and inconvenience to those who are not part of the rally. The site also has a storage facility for those who wish to leave their van here all year round. For information, when selecting a pitch ‘Fully Service’ pitches (Electric Hook-up, Water Hook-up and drainage) are available as hard standings and grass pitches. Electric Hook-up only pitches are also available and here are call ‘Premier’. There are no restrictions of how you place the van/tent on your pitch. You can pitch the caravan across the pitch if you wish.
All facilities are first class and are kept immaculately clean, even at busy times. For those who want the facility, there is even an outside area dedicated for wet suit washing/hosing down. The site has all the facilities one might expect at a caravan/camp site and the small bar continues to serve good food.
The bar is generally closed on Sunday evenings so a visit to the Treleigh Arms will also provide a very good meal. At other times, I found the beer good at The Bridge Inn (at Bridge), with a selection of real ales. If you go to Globe Vale as part of a group, a polypin of beer (36 pints) can be purchased directly from the Coastal Brewery (on the Cardrew Industrial Estate) – I can recommend the Poseidon!
A top class site immaculately looked after by Paul and Louise, and without a doubt, our first choice for Cornwall.

We visited this site for a week after reading the reviews here. What a great find!
This site is perfect if you plan to tour Cornwall, with its position right next to the A30 you can sprint up & down to all locations with ease (no miles of winding backroads to negotiate first!)
Despite its location there's no road noise, views are great too-rolling countryside across to St Agnes Beacon. Portreath & Pothtowan are both nearby. Other places worth a visit are Lappa Valley Railway & Healeys Cyder Farm!
The site is immaculate & split into 3 areas. Statics, fully serviced & touring field. We had booked into the touring field but as it was quiet / early in the season, were given a free upgrade to the fully serviced field- hardstandings, water pipe, ehu & waste drain to each (level & very free draining) pitch!
Paul & Louise take pride in their site & it shows!-The area we were in was sheltered by tall trees, the touring field by bushes with a slight slope to the field-grass was bowling green short!
Washblocks /washing up area like everywhere else-spotless! Bar/eating area was nice with great food. Outside is a new decking area which would be great on a warm summer evening!
There is no pool. There's no amusements so the kids wont be after your cash all the time-its good old fashioned footy, kite flying, kids play area etc for them- which makes a nice change!
Paul has been trying to get the Highways agency to improve signage from the A30. We had a little problem finding them-if you do too look for North Country-its sign posted from there!
Should you need camping/caravan spares there are places nearby. See the leaflets next to reception (also for nearby attractions)
Please be aware. If any of your party is in a wheelchair-all paths are gravel-great for drainage but a bit of a struggle to push on-if you go to Newquay with a wheelchair-go to the Aquarium-u can hire a beach version that can even go in the water!
To sum up- you wont find a better base for touring Cornwall. No, do find a better one-we want this one for ourselves!

This is a great campsite. Beautifully clean facilities, fab showers and generous sized pitches. Great play-area for kids and if you stay you must try the food, all homecooked. Recommend the beef curry and very reasonably priced too.
Staff and the owners are very welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Great location for cycling right on the coast to coast trail.Lots of Cornish heritage all around you.
I have no hesitation in recommending this campsite to anyone and everyone young or old couples or families.

What a wonderful surprise! You never really know what a new site will be like the first time you go - although UK Camp Sites give you a good idea! The views over the countryside from the pitch were amazing, and you knew you were in Cornwall by all the tin mine chimneys dotted around.
The owners Paul and Louise were so helpful and cheerful even though according to Paul he worked non stop day and night!
They have ploughed a lot of money into the Park, everything is clean and well kept, and they have an excellent although small bar/restaurant with great food. The meat used is from a local butcher and it was so good I called in and bought loads to bring home.
The site is very quiet and you feel you are in the middle of nowhere but it takes only a few minutes to get into Redruth for shopping or into Porthreath for the harbour and the beach and also, via the same country road the Park is on, its the same to get to Porthtowan - a lovely, sandy, family beach.
The park is in an ideal spot as it is just off the A30 and you can get up and down the coast very quickly also as this is in the 'narrow' part of Cornwall its only 9 miles from Falmouth on the east coast. The site is dog friendly and there were a lot there but unfortunately the beaches aren't.
Paul has maps in reception which give you all the information as to where and when you can take you dog on the local beaches. I cannot find one thing negative to write about Globe Vale in this review even though the weather was not good whilst we were there. We will return again.
