 Excellent site. Nice big pitch, good facilities. The clubhouse and bar is good for a campsite, carvery is tasty. Ship Inn across the road is a nice pub but expect to wait for average food, good pint though.
Beach is just a stroll away. Walk along the coastal path to Megavissey, stunning views of the site and sea. Asda up the road (4 miles) better value than the camp shop although it is handy when you can't be bothered to fire the car up. 4 adults and 4 kids all loved the site - give it a go and enjoy.

Brilliant site, our pitch was behind the car park and next to a toilet block and near to the amenities so we thought it would be rather noisy, once or twice we heard noises late at night between 12-30 and 1 am from the youths hanging about the amusements but as we where making our way back to our van from the club it was not too much of a problem, they soon dispersed when every thing closed for the night. The entertainment was good, the food and drink was good. We where told that there are plans to knock down the original entertainment building and build another one with two bars and they also hope to have a adult entertainment slot between midnight and 2 am so that should get rid of the young children that sit in front of the stage when the main entertainment is on but overall we enjoyed our stay, the private beach and walks, cycle rides all make this a very good site, on our next visit to cornwall we will book again.

Pentewan is one of my favourite places, love being able to wander to the beach when I please, facilities are good.Showers though I have to say were closed for too long this yr(2 hrs every lunchtime)Pitches are large and mainly level we had two pitches together which even with two trailer tents two pup tents and two galaxys we still had room to mooch around! Although it was busier this year with boats it was still possible to have some peace and quiet to read my book.We have visited every year since 2002 and always hate to leave.It's a nice safe site to let your children wander about and I have been told the clubhouse is good too though we haven't been.Shop is over priced(aren't they all ) but there is a supermarket 5 miles down the road. If you want somewhere by the sea with good large pitches, reasonably priced, then I recommend it!

Brilliant campsite. Lovely beach, perfect for the children with long, shallow stretch of sea. Rock pools teeming with all manner of creatures that nip! Camp restaurant is ok but very basic, head for the delightful Ship Inn just over the road in Pentewan village. First rate food, really good local cider and not too pricey. (Pays to get there early though.it's hugely popular).
Camp shop big and very good. Staff do a good job of trying to keep on top of sandy showers. Always hot water and usually very clean. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Just got back from Pentewan! It was great - staff very helpful even with our Autistic sons behaviour problems at the pool! Food from the takeaway was very nice and a well stocked shop. Beach was fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this site to anyone!

A wonderful site; we're already planning to return next year! Very good value just out of the main holiday season, with all facilities running. Generous pitches. Superb main and toddler heated swimming pools in lovely setting. Showers, washing-up facilities etc were excellent, but the sink cubicles did not have doors or privacy curtains. The laundry facilities were good, and the irons were free - very unusual. Food in clubhouse only OK, but the Ship Inn in the village adjacent to the site had a good choice of food (but you really do need to get in there early - the instant long queue that forms when food starts at 6:30pm was a bit of a surprise!). Staff were very friendly and helpful - allowing me to use the office phone to call a dentist.
The beach is not a sandy beach, but it's still great to be able to take a bedtime stroll and look for shells with the kids, who loved the 3 playgrounds. As mentioned previously, the cliff walk to Mevagissy is a lovely and memorable experience, and you can always catch the bus back - buses run from right outside the site. The model railway village in Mevagissy is more interesting than it sounds and a great day out for little "Thomas" fans! Not sure how often this happens, but as a bonus, we had an army exercise taking place on the beach during our visit (tanks, floating pontoons, the works!) and even a free aerobatic display over the beach one afternoon!

Great site. Good size pitches which easily accommodated our Montana 6 with canopy,gazebo, trailer, and car with room left over. Good facilities including pool, laundrette, bar, shop etc. Shower and toilet facilities could do with updating in the centre of the site as the other block nearer the shop clearly look newer and better. The beach is actually a little gritty and not quite like the golden sands in st Ives and other bays on the north side but it is so close to the site that we were on it nearly every day. There are also organised activities on site for the adults like scuba diving in the pool and laser clay pigeon shooting. We were very lucky to meet 4 very sociable neighbours who we spent most evenings with drinking under the gazebo. We hope to be able to book in again next year.

We were pitched three rows from the beach and it could be windy, even on the hottest of days. The beach is shale and not sand, so footwear is needed although this didn't spoil our enjoyment. The facilities in the toilet block closest to us were clean and tidy despite the site being busy.
The restaurant serves wonderful lobster salad at the cheap price of £11. The ship inn nearby also served lovely food but beware it was difficult to find a table as they are always full!
We walked the coastal path to Mevagissey, about 2 and a half miles, steep at times but the views across the sea are worth it.
We were lucky enough to see Basking Sharks from the beach at the site and they made the national press the next day!
Great two weeks will return one day!

What can we say , a fantastic site with a 'HUGE' sandy beach with childrens play area built on top, a great swimming pool and child pool our two year old daughter was in paradise, really quite at night (even with the world cup going on). Lovely pitches.
Nice to have a take-away service on site, which meant a large pizza and a wander down to the beach to eat it. Will definitely return to this site. And next year will be better again as the club house is banning smoking!

1st visit to Cornwall so wanted a base that could do Eden project to Tintagel, Seal Sanctuary etc. Comfortably as day trips and the location fitted the bill. Opted for electrical hook up (hot weather and use of mini fridge) and pre-booked - ended up amongst a million caravans, our 2 man tent felt a bit intimidated. Well laid out pitches - loads on room for car, awning - by the look of it what ever you could imagine! Windbreakers appear to be the done thing as this camp so we felt obliged to pop to ASDA and buy a few!
The toilets by the beach need refurbishing - or at least hot water and a clean. The main block was immaculate with loads of hot water and no wait. Some form of light for night time would be an advantage.
The bar was OK - food average price for average standard. Beers a wee bit on the expensive side unless England were playing. Separate non smoking area in bar. Heated outdoor pool with life guard seemed popular without being packed and the small arcade proved to be entertaining.
The beach was private and you could walk for miles along the coast at low tide.
A good safe feeling base to explore this wonderful part of England.

Just come back after spending a week at this site, didn't want to come home! The site was amazing, right on the beach, which the children loved. The site was clean and the showers were lovely and hot. Mevagissey just a short walk along the coastal path, worth the walk, especially the harbour. The ship Inn adjacent to the site was excellent. The whole week was very relaxing. Our only gripe would be to be careful when selecting a pitch, avoid the ones right next to the toilet block 'E1' as due to the rubbish bins being there the seagulls tend to use your tent as their toilet! Will definitely be booking again next year.

Went here for bank holiday weekend at the end of May-a word of caution NEVER go to Cornwall on this bank hol it took us nearly 7 hours to get through the traffic- that weekend is Run To The Sun in Newquay so a nightmare to get to.
The site was full, the fields are flat and the toilets / showers are very clean.Irons and showers are free too-something you don't find often!
There is an outdoor heated pool and 3 parks sited around the site-1 next to the pub which came in very handy with our friends children! There is a burger bar serving anything from burgers, jacket potatoes to curry! The shop is very well stocked-everything you need is in there! The beach is right on the site and you can walk along it from one end of the site to the other.
The only bits about the site that I did find myself commenting on was the Club house being slightly dated but it was nice and the entertainment could have been a little better-this may have been due to it being the beginning of the season though. Also mobile phones cannot pick up any signal at all-some would say that is nice but if you want to leave a number in case of emergency to family or friends I would give them the camp site number. The staff were helpful and we were even given a refund on 2 people that were paid for but unable to make it.

Had a great week here 2005 spring half term under canvas, going 'posh' this year in a static. Nice facilities and free entertainment daytime and evening for the kids if you don't want to mount expeditions around Cornwall every day. Site, beach and pool clean and well kept. Early evening kids disco & entertainment in the clubhouse went down a treat (kid friendly and relaxed though can get busy later on). Some of the later evening cabarets not really my sort of thing but we were usually heading off back put the little ones to bed by then. Waves breaking 200yds from tent is magic. Not usually a big fan of sites with 'entertainment' etc but this definitely gets the thumbs up.

Excellent Holiday ! Spoke to many campers who keep going back year after year. We are about to book again for next year.
Clean private beach, clean facilities and large pitches. Helpful staff at reception. Large shop, takeaway on site sells fish and chips, pizza, jackets, burgers etc. (bit pricey). Evening entertainment for the kids, scuba diving and snorkel lessons in the pool and sea. Playground, amusement arcade and great local pub close by - The Ship Inn (good food).
Close to fishing village of Mevagissey and St Austell town. Mc Donalds, Asda and Tesco close by.
Loads of days out in Cornwall, would recommend visting Looe, St Ives, Holywell Bay and Dairyland.

What can I say exept FANTASTIC. We had a second row pitch so we were right next to the beach. The beach was nice and clean so was the sea apart from some seaweed. The only bad point was the small toilet block could do with cleaning more often, but saying that there are 2 other toilet blocks. Will definitly book again. There is loads to do around and about so when we book again it will be for 3 weeks.
