After a recent visit to Perran Sands, we thought it important to try and give an opinion that is as objective as possible.
We arrived later than the Touring Reception permits on a Friday evening so had to drive through the park to get to the main reception. This wasn't a big issue, plenty of space to get through and a big enough car park to site our outfit and go into reception.
We were greeted by a very warm and friendly receptionist who gave us a brief overview of the park and pointed us in the direction of our pitch. Very friendly and a great start to the holiday.
Arrived at our pitch to find someone had parked their car across it. We were lucky the site was quite quiet so we selected a couple pitches up and called reception with our intentions. They apologised and were happy for us to move.
We would consider the facilities on the site to be excellent. It is apparent that a huge investment has been made on the camping and touring side with two new toilet blocks that are fitted to a good standard. The main complex itself is a 10 minute walk from the camping and touring site but if you walk across the sand dunes you will get there a little quicker. The swimming pool was reasonable, although the indoor pool alone is probably too small when it comes to peak season and the outdoor pool is closed due to bad weather. There is also a flume for the younger children (although we couldn't resist!).
The entertainment in the evening was good considering the time of the year - great for the kids and bingo and an act for the adults a bit later in the evening. Drinks are slightly overpriced but not extortionate. The games arcade is a good size and has something for everyone with another smaller arcade across the way.
There is a well stocked Spar shop on site as well as a fish and chip bar, a restaurant and a pizza takeaway. All are open until relatively late and reasonably priced.
One reservation is that the beach is a fair distance from the touring and camping field and a good 25 minute walk - we ended up driving to the beach and it was a steep walk down to the beach which would not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Overall though, a super site which we will definitely visit again. Friendly staff, great facilities and convenient to the local town/beach if walking is not an issue.

Went for a weekend away to Perran Sands with the family.
When we arrived we went straight down to our pitch and was able to easily set up our Vango Amazon 600 tent and still had plenty of room for the car and trailer.
The first thing that the holiday park have renewed are the toilet blocks in the touring field these have been completely renovated, although the site was quiet the toilet block was kept spotless.
The other facilities have been renovated with a new restaurant being built and the main club room being modernised a lot of money has been spent by the owners of the site.
The playground in the camping field could do with being modernised and something there for the older child.
The site is in a great Cornish village with a very good surfing beach.
Will definitely be going back as Haven also seem to be having some great discounts on.

Just returned from perran sand and we have had a fabulous week.
Shower blocks were new for this year, very clean as they were done at least 3 times a day. Tents and caravans were mixed together,
There's a bar for meals with you don't need passes for. We had two meals here with our dog who was very welcome.
Indoor pool was great we used every day.
The beach was a great walk.
Would highly recommend this site, the facilities were fantastic as were all of the staff.
The local area blow me away was so nice. The buses that stop on sight saved me from driving everywhere. Perranporth was great lovely place. Newquay, St Agnes was great.

little disappointed they informed all the visitors they were under a amber alert for the bad winds last weekend just before we landed ( same morning ) but let us pitch 2 tents without warning us. Our tent collapsed 3 times during Sat nights severe wind and was in great danger of becoming a kite on Sunday. We did not leave the tent out of fear on Sunday. That is my only complaint though the camp and entertainment staff were great
The area had loads for us all to do with plenty fishing for the guys
I would have no problem going back here but I would be more choosy on my pitch area as it is on sand and some is quite exposed in the wind so you will need heavy duty very long pegs
Amenities were spotless and the heated floor in the shower room is a blessing when you have children in the showers with you ( as most mums will understand )
Best news is you can order a pizza at Papa Johns on camp and they will deliver to your pitch.
Just don't use the Orange network as to get a signal you need to be outside Papa johns anyway
But signal in most areas in Cornwall was dodgy to say the least
The others on 02 network seemed to be ok all over the camp and local area.

Just returned from perran sand and we have had a fabulous week.
As its along way for us to travel we did it over night, stopping off in services, only to find when we reached there they had a over nights park. Checking in and waiting for our pitch was a pain but we got there in the end.
Shower blocks were new for this year, very clean as they were done at least 3 times a day. Tents and caravans were mixed together,
Great play ground was good, older children were still on it after dark and could be noisy at times,
There's a bar for meals with you don't need passes for,
Spar, gift shop, burger king, amusements which you needed a pass for,
Indoor and outdoor pool again pass needed and family entertainment room, we saw Chico the week were there.
The beach isn't easy to get to all down hill so coming back up is a killer, there is no loo's down there so go before setting off.
Would highly recommend

I always read reviews when booking a site so I feel it's only fair to offer a service back and make an effort to start writing them myself!
Who went: Me (The Mum!) Fin (10) and Jacob (9)
Having never stayed on a site like this before I was worried before we set off. Also as we were booked into one of the Super tents I didn't know what our holiday would be like, well it was FANTASTIC!
I can't lie and have to own up that having beautiful weather really made it for us.
We arrived to book in and were met with friendly, kind and reassuring staff. Given a map and told which tent was ours. Off we went in search of our house for the coming week. Easily located, parked up next to it we couldn't wait to unzip the door to our huge pre-erected tent. I was thrilled!
I'd brought an extra table, kettle, toaster, rugs, bedding and we made our Super tent Super cosy. Although I hadn't needed to bring anything only the bedding, the extras I brought made it a more familiar camping trip.
The facilities (shower block and pot wash) were close by and brand new. Constantly cleaned and warm, fresh and although the site was full we didn't have to wait (I am an early riser though)
The rest of the site was also immaculate and everyone we met was friendly and just regular folk. I was worried, and I can't deny. A bit of a snob thinking some of the other families may be a bit loud, but I was wrong, everyone was lovely. We used the pool, the entertainment, the infernal 2p machines(!) and the crazy golf.
Each day we went off and had adventures. Eden project, Zoo, pretty picture postcard villages and fabulous beaches. No 2 days were the same.
If we were the kind of family that return and repeat holidays then I wouldn't think twice at visiting Perran sands in a Super tent again.
If I had to find any negative about the tent it would be how noisy they are in the wind. But I felt a whole lot safer and dryer than I would have done in our own tent. To drive off on our last day and leave the tent as we'd found it was a God send!
I believe there were families packing up early. Some had damaged tents due to the wind. For the extra £40 it cost to use their tent than mess about with mine was well worth it. Any Mum's reading this about to travel on your own with the kids then I can't recommend this option more.
