We made a big mistake staying here! This is not a site for tourers who want to spend their time exploring Cornwall!
It's a full blown holiday park complete with on site entertainment, bingo, bar, disco etc. There is reasonable shop on site and also a swimming pool. Hence you are paying for all these facilities whether you are using them or not. We did make use of the bar which was very good and had some staff who were excellent (others a bit gormless and unable to take basic food orders). The bar served a decent range of food which was not expensive.
The site rate itself was very expensive (£42 for 3 of us) which is double the cost for most campsites and I regard as poor value for money.
The tent area is a series of terraces and, following the wet summer, comprised mostly of waterlogged mud. The ground squelched under your feet and everything in the tent was wet from moisture coming up from the ground. While the site cannot be held responsible for the appalling weather this summer, they are responsible for the total lack of drainage in this area which, if installed, would do much to improve the ground conditions and visitor comfort. There is no screening around pitches - you are right in the face of your neighbours - and pitches, although wide, were not very deep leaving some tents with virtually no outdoor living space.
The main facility block had plenty of toilets & showers but was basic in its style.
We only stayed one night and were relieved to find a much better site further south in Cornwall the following night.
We have learnt from this to be wary of any site that has the words 'Holiday Park' in its name.

Great site with great location. We have stayed here before although it was about 6 years ago.
Pool is brilliant if you have children and they really loved the water slides. There is also great play facilities and somewhere for them to play football or cricket.
Pitch was good and had our own water point and electric which is really handy.
It is expensive in the summer but as you have everything you do get what you pay for.
The showers and toilets were nice and always clean and staff really nice and helpful.
Entertainment was good.
Location is great as you can get to watergate bay, mawgan porth all in about 10/ 15 mins drive and newquay is even closer, You can also get the bus into newquay and back from the entrance to the park if you did fancy going into newquay for a few beverages.
Definitely going back to this site again.

Stayed here for 10 nights 2 children and 3 adults on our pitch and a further 4 adults on another pitch.
Upon arrival was greated with the steapest hill I've had to climb to get into a caravan site!
booked in ok and told where to go to find pitch but wasn't taken to it and didn't have anyone check to see if it was vacant or even if I had pitched up on the correct area. Pitch wasn't very well marked out but did have your own water and electric hook up, not much room when pitched and was literally on top of the unit next to us, also there wasn't a lot of space from the units opposite either and you could just about get a car down the gap.
This meant if your children rode their bikes you were in constant fear of them hitting someone elses car or unit. V
On the plus side the site had good play areas for the children plus an entertainment zone where your little ones can bleed you dry!
Swimming pool was nice 3 in total that were heated to a lovely temperature, it didn't matter how the weather was as it was always warm in the pool. There was also a slide which my 6 year old enjoyed but not suitable for older children as you could stop half way down!
Site could get noisy as all tourer pitches are close to the main entertainment rooms but this didn't really bother me as I can sleep through anything but if you are a light sleeper beware as it is quite loud.
There is a shop on site with most things available but over priced in my view. All big name stores close enough to use and much cheaper.
The toilet and shower rooms are in need of a refurb nothing like you get on a club site not very clean, mould on walls and sometimes no hot water left for a nice shower. At the prices they charge they should invest a few pounds in a better more modern block, a better move would have been to take my soap and sponge down to the pool!
Site was approx 2 miles from newquay centre and we found it to be well located for visiting the local area, places to visit perranporth, St Ives, Padstow, Porth and Mawgan Porth all very nice and had lovely beaches.
Although we had a good holiday we wouldn't recommend this site for touring purely on the basis of the space. We will be going back to the area as it is lovely but will be staying somewhere else

We got back from this site yesterday. Not having been to newquay before I really enjoyed visiting the beaches.
Really impressive waves. We did have rain showers most of our 4 nights but there's plenty to do in the local area.
The pitch was large and a short walk from the shower block which was clean with lots of hot water and a hair dryer.
Entertainment was good. Swimming pools, there are 3 all out doors are heated an the slide was popular.
The only thing I can think of is no heating in the shower block.

We have just come back from an 8 night stay at this holiday park. The site is well laid out with plenty to do for the kids. The pool is only open 10 - 5, I don't know if this is the same through July and August but it meant we had little time to use the pool as we spent most of that time out either visiting the local attractions or at beaches.
The site management are very good at responding to complaints about noise, however, they decided to dump our neighbour's rubbish (which was bagged up tidily) straight into their tent. We thought this very poor behaviour as the neighbours were quiet and orderly and kept their pitch tidy.
The Park security team can be contacted at any time of night to deal with any noise issues. We were visited by a hedgehog which tried very hard to break into our tent the one night so I would recommend keeping the doors zipped.
The ladies' showers are lukewarm if you use the ones to the right as you enter the building so I would recommend using the two at the end of the section of toilets. Plenty of hot washing up water available. The handdryer in the gents was out of action all week and power was turned off twice to the whole site while we were there without any notice even though the management were aware this would happen.
The cafe was reasonably priced but the food quality was poor, we ate there twice one night of greasy pizzas and cheap sausages for breakfast. The mushrooms were terrible and there were no alternatives for items you didn't like e.G. Scrambled instead of fried eggs.
Apart from the bizarre incident with the neighbour's rubbish (which has reduced considerably the customer service score) and the noisy group on our first night we enjoyed the stay.

My children aged 12 & 13 loved it, spent most of their time in the pools as well as myself! Showers- Mens were fine no problems but the ladies at the top of the park had 5 showers 3 were cold and the other 2 were hot, didn't discover the hot ones until the morning we were leaving!
Dish washing area was small only 3 sinks but water was really hot. Great entertainment in the club, the shop was reasonably priced with offers on alcohol.
There was noise on site in the evenings but it all went quiet on time, security was great. Pitches available from 12pm but we arrived earlier and was allowed on our pitch. Our pitch size was great a fairly large pitch big enough for all our stuff, and we took plenty! We even had a game of golf!
We have already said we are going to return to this site next year.
