Just returned from a fantastic week at Pentewan sands.
We stayed in a static and were in D24 right next to the cliffs and only yards from the beach.
The shop on site does everything you need, there is also a take away which was quite expensive. We only went in the bar a couple of times for a drink, but they serve food too.
I can't fault the site at all, the caravan was fab, the staff were friendly.
It was a very quiet site and very clean.
The Ship Inn in Pentewan does lovely food, we went one day around 5 pm and good job we did as by 6 pm there were people hanging about for our table.
We did have one very windy night and when we woke up the poor people opposite tent had ripped.
The beach is lovely, a mixture of shingle and sand, but we all went crabbing in the rock pools over by the cliffs.
Mevagissey is a mile away and well worth a visit, such a pretty little harbour.
We would definitely go again and I would recommend this site to everyone.

Pentewan sands is set in a beautiful location just outside mevagissey. Ttoilet blocks were dated compared to a few sites I've been on but never once had to queue. Facilities on site were good, outdoor pool, amusement arcade and best of all being the private beach on site which is fantastic if your a water sport fan. Evening entertainment was pretty good, with bingo reaching £465.00 for a full house, well worth a pound a go. Pint of lager £3 which was pretty steep. There is so much to do within a 30 mile radius including looe, polperro, st austell, all beautiful fishing harbours. Overall a great week with overcast weather which I consider good for this country in august

Stayed here for a week in August, all I can say is what a wonderful site. Children really loved it and the beach was wonderful. We stayed in e47 which was a 5 min walk to the beach. St Austell was not very nice but I believe they are building a cinema and generally regenerating the town centre so maybe next year will be better. Shop on site was large and everything you need is there, but be warned it is very expensive. Tesco and asda are 3 miles away so go there to stock up.Club house was very dated and well worn but there are plans to demolish the pool, bar club house and arcade and they are building a new block for the season next year 2010. Site was clean, well laid out and extremely busy but it seemed like everyone had enough room. Weather was torrential rain for 4 days but that's not the camp sites fault!. Caravan was stunning, clean well fitted out and in a good location. The ship Inn was not far away but we never ate there but I hear it is good. Most def going back next year and this time we are booking for 2 weeks

We stayed here the first week in August after reading the reviews and seeing the site we decided to see for ourselves. Our pitch number was C65 and it was HUGE, room for caravan, awning, windbreaker garden (don't usually use them but everyone else did here) and room to spare too! We were also straight across from the toilet block and only a few rows from the sea, would def book this pitch again. We arrived at around 2pm and am glad we did, this avoided the queue to get on at 10 and went straight on our pitch.
What can I say? It was everything I had read about plus more, I can't fault anything. Shop/takeaway was great, club we only went in once but seemed ok and my daughter loved her kid cocktails. Kids loved the beach especially near the river. The walk into Mevagissey is very hilly as you would expect with a coastal path, my daughter has asthma so we found it easier to go via the road on her bad days, but worth it as it's such a lovely harbour ( plus all that hill walking worked off the icecreams mmm) Lots of places around to visit.
All good points, and if I have to think of one bad point it would be the fairy lights. I thought it was christmas! Some sort of competition with the regular visitors maybe to see who can decorate their vans the most? So if you want to join in before you go buy fairy lights, oh and a flag too!
Would go again, possibly next May.

Pentewan is a good site. It’s nice and clean and well organised with pitches large enough for a caravan, awning and car plus room for outside tables etc. The site leads directly to the beach without having to cross any roads and the sandy beach is long and generally quite safe and there are some good rock pools on the western side. Whilst it’s their own private beach, I would suggest that Pentewan employ some people to patrol the beach to collect the small amounts of litter that were getting left behind.
The toilets/showers were clean and good enough, even if occasionally there was a small queue to use them.
The shop was quite large and well stocked with reasonably priced goods.
The pool is a good size and never seem to be too crowded.
The local pub (The Ship) is very handy and the food is quite good too but be prepared to wait quite some time for a table, especially at weekends.
On leaving the site the road can be a little tricky with the speed of the traffic coming from the St Austell direction.
Overall, I’d recommend this site. You don’t need to leave the site for anything but It’s handy for Mevagissy and there are a few supermarkets (Asda/Tesco) within a few minutes drive. There’s also Dimonos and Pizza Hut nearby too.

We were booked into this site for a weeks stay sat - sat on the thursday before the camp rang me to say our pitch was free from friday if we wanted to travel down and miss the Saturday traffic and offerd it us half price which I gladly accepted. It took us 10hrs to get there and we arrived about half 9 Friday night which they had no problem with. We stayed in the f field which is on grass tiers and all the pitches were grass but a good size with electric and a shared tap. The toilet block and shower we used was the big one in the middle of the park and was very clean and always hot water from the showers. The shop on site is very well stocked but a little pricey. The outdoor pool was always clean and lifeguarded. The food on site was nice both from the bar and takeaway. The club is on the small side though and is hard to get a seat they do bingo and its non profit making so mega money! I highly recommend this site for mainly younger familys and people into watersports ect our kids loved it so did we and would go back.
