Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: Dnhross 2 reviews from this member

 If only all sites were this well run and pleasurable to stay on.

Having only booked the day before and being told they were going to be busy, I was surprised how spacious and quiet the site is. Lots of room between pitches and felt a really nice space to be in.

Facilities first rate, showers toilets and washing places a plenty and always spotlessly clean. We never had to wait once for a shower all week even at the busy periods of Breakfast time and when everyone came back from the beach.

Location wise the walk to town might be a bit long for some, but we did it regularly with a pram and 2 kids without trouble. For those who prefer to ride in, the bus stops clsoe and the park and ride is within 5 mins walk as is tesco across the field.

With the stunning array of north conwalls beaches all accessible within 10 mins this site is placed perfectly. We asked advice from the staff regarding access to the beaches with our motorhome and found them friendly and knowledgeable.

Would highly recommend a visit here

Reviewer: Stratman 5 reviews from this member

 A very pleasant site just outside Padstow. Very good staff and excellent access control by numberplate recognition, no tags to lose!

Facilities excellent although none of the sinks in the washroom I used had plugs, not easy for a blade shaver like myself.

Ground pretty level but sandy soil means that you will need some good pegs if you are there in gales as we were. The site is fairly exposed even though there are wind break hedges etc

Left a day and a half early, due to weather, nothing at all to do with site or facilities.

Would return if weather could guarantee no 30mph winds!

All in all 9/10. 


Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Bekki68 6 reviews from this member

 Very nice nice site set back from the main (not busy) road into Padstow providing an excellent base for visiting beaches and other parts of Cornwall.

It is well-run by a team of helpful, friendly and efficient staff. They were brilliant with us when we arrived on the back of a rescue truck with trailer in tow! The car had to stay on the lorry to go off to be repaired but they helped get some of the equipment off the car and took that and the trailer off to our pitch.

The site is virtually level with tarmac/gravel roadways making access to pitches good. There are fences and shrubbery separating areas of the site also. Our pitch was a generous size with room to spare after the trailer tent was pitched and car parked next to it. The drinking and waste water points were right next to each electric hookup which was really convenient.

Toilets and showers were plentiful, clean and tidy, and I never had to wait to use one.

The small play area was very popular with the kids and had to be vacated by 9.30pm and there is a small shop selling camping essentials and small toys but no food although you can order bread and pastries from a local bakery through the site shop.

There are three washing machines, costing £4.60 for a wash including powder, etc, and one dryer which was £1 for 15 mins.

The walk via the footpath to Tesco is great albeit through fields which, as it rained, were muddy but, with wellies, was no problem at all and very pleasant. From Tesco, there is a steep descent down to Padstow through a quiet residential area. All-in-all, took approximately 20 mins.

All-in-all, would definitely recommend it and go back.

 We have a group booking here for a long weekend and were really impressed with the site, considering how large it is, it was very quiet and spaced out. Toilet and shower facilities were clean and modern, kids loved the playground and well stocked shop ! Had a interesting but fun walk into Padstow across the fields in flipflops through mud. Walk is lovely and well worth it but would recommend more suitable footwear !

This is a nice well maintained and organised site, well back from the main road, good location for North Cornwall beaches with he Nearest only 5 mins drive away. Also a large Tesco store 5 mins walk across the field or very short drive.

 This was our first visit to padstow touring park since the present owners made the improvements to an already great site. I really thought it couldn't get any better but is has. We never had to wait for showers or toilets etc.

The path to Padstow is now easier to use and brings you to the side of tescos. The park is well situated for visiting the seven great beaches all within a 5 or 10 minuet drive. All in all this is a fantastic park and we cant wait to get back down there.

With sea and countryside views, Tregarton Park is ideal for couples or families with younger children, given its relaxed seclusion and proximity to so many of Cornwall's fine safe sandy beaches. Large grass and hardstanding pitches with electric, divided by hedging and shrubs, perfect for tents and tourers. No statics! Superb toilet and shower block with large glass shower cubicles operated by motion sensors with ceiling mounted shower heads, laundry room, baby changing station.

 Spent a week at this site, I was quite impressed with it,site was well kept and the toilet/showers were always clean, toilet roll and soap were always available. Site was quiet after dark, we had a superior pitch which wasn't as big as I was expecting but was enough for our tent and car, very near padstow which is lovely and there is a path which you can take to get to tescos (10 mins) and if you walk down the hill its another 15 mins into padstow. We enjoyed our week and would definitely go back to this site in the future.

Reviewer: Davenic 8 reviews from this member

 Great site, plenty of showers and toilets (queued once for 5 minutes in 6 days)toilets and showers were spotless and well stocked. Big pitches. Kids play area was small but large grassed areas on site to play ball games. Quiet site at night as wardens after 10pm enforced quiet time.

Padstow harbour a 10-15 minute walk away a little hill to tackle on the way back though, journey is through a maize field whci may get muddy in wet weather. Local Tesco is 10mins walk away or 2 mins in car. No immediate pubs in area nearest we saw was in Padstow. Shop was well stocked and not over-priced, Danish pastries are well worth a try.

There are about 10 beaches with 10mile of site and all fantastic.

One of the best sites we've been on and will definitely be booking for next year if available. 


Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: CAD65 6 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a 6 night stay at this site and have to say we were very impressed. It was very clean and tidy, well kept grounds. The pitches seem to vary in size. There was good drainage in the soil so wasn't too muddy on the two days that we had rain. The shop seemed ok, but I didn't actually go in there because I never needed anything, we always used the Tescos that was a 5 minute drive away. The only complaint my husband had about the shop was that they didn't sell any newspapers, which we found a bit odd.

The site was a quiet, family orientated site, which was lovely and although there were teenage children there, including my own, there wasn't any teenage noise, it was very pleasant.

The showers were plentiful, it was very rare to have to queue for a shower. We used the toilet block which was nearest to us but it was an older building so needed updating a little bit but it was adequate, clean, always toilet roll and soap available. I did give in eventually to a more modern toilet/shower block that wasn't too far from our pitch but it was very nice, the showers had more space in and just generally more modern.

The dishwashing facilities were always clean and always had hot water.

The location to everything around was excellent, Crealy Cornwall was very close in Wadebridge, Padstow itself is close-by and absolutely gorgeous. Our favourite beach has to be Porthcothan, it is beautiful, spacious, great surfing but not really suitable for swimming but there are lots of rockpools that are suitable for little tots to splash around in, my 5 year old loved it.

Overall a very pleasant campsite that we would recommend to anyone and would definitely go back there.

Reviewer: Jensue 10 reviews from this member

 We tried to get onto this site which was full, but were given a space at Padstow Holiday Park, which has the same owners, and is a short walk away via a path and a stubbly field. It is run by the same people and behind the static homes there are three lovely fields for camping. Facilities are slightly basic but clean and recently tiled, with hot water and warmth.

There were moths and crane flies in evidence but not too many!

Dishwashing area had washing machines and driers, and was cramped but functional and plenty of hot water.

We liked the Jemima Puddleducks and chickens that ran about and felt that the site was more open and countryfied than the touring park next door that our friends were on.

Road noise was quite loud from both sites if you are in a tent. Path from sites to Padstow is advertised as a twenty minute walk but with children takes about 40 minutes downhill through high cornfields and muddy bogs, and over stiles. Coming back for us was a bus (hourly) or a taxi if you can get it.

We had a nice time and enjoyed the openness.

Reviewer: Hennipenni 3 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 10 nights here & found it to be generally a very good site, with lots of positives & just a few negatives. We had a superior pitch & managed to fit on our Tigris 800, Outhouse XL & car with space to spare(our tent looked a baby compared to some of the monsters pitched there!). The toilet block was cleaned regularly & the showers were probably the most spacious we have come across. There was also plenty of them, 6 in the main block for men & 8 in the womens block. The were also 2 other blocks one of which (behind the shop) had about 5 individual bathrooms with shower cubicle, sink & toilet. The laundry had 3 washing machines (costing £4.60 including wash powder) & 2 dryers (£1 for 15 mins).

The footpath to Padstow was good, but would only recommend using it after a couple of dry days.

The site was ideally located for the various local beaches & there's a very useful map of these on the outside wall of the main toilet block. Would recommend Trevone & Harlyn, both of which had plenty of parking at £3.50 per day.

The shop seemed to stock most necessities, including some camping gear, such as airbeds, pumps, etc.

The only real negatives would be that it was probably the noisiest site we've stayed on (bought earplugs from the shop!). The problem wasn't really the night time as generally the site went quiet about 10pm, however we were woken up about 6.30am most mornings (no chance of a lie in). I would also pity anyone who had a pitch near the playground as they would have to contend with hoards of screaming kids until about 9.30pm & then be woken by the cockerels in the shed behind the playground from about 3.30am!

The other negative is that it is the only site that we have ever visited that has charged extra for our kitchen tent (£2.50 a night), which considering we were already paying £27.50 per night seems a bit penny pinching!

Overall though a good site & we would probably visit again.

Reviewer: Animalhacker 2 reviews from this member

 This is an excellent site,with good toilet blocks and mainly flat large pitches. Some pitches do vary in size, so tell the site staff how big your tent or caravan is. The staff are very friendly and the toilet/shower blocks are always clean. The best block is to the side of the shop, they have individual rooms with toilet,shower and sink.

The path to Padstow is across 3 fields and then down a hill into the town's harbour.The fields can be muddy at times and would be difficult with a pram, but the views are beautiful. Just remember to take a torch when returning home after a few bottles of wine. We have stayed in many sites throughout the UK and this is as good as it gets. One of our top favourites.

 Very nice site - from the minute we arrived to be greeted by smiling helpful staff to the minute we drove off through the automatic gates

Site beautifully kept showers clean grass cut lights all around nice shop good information nice area for kids - just one problem the British weather - rained for five out of seven days well six actually came home on the Friday because tent had dried out and the clouds were forming again.

Padstow nice to walk around , parking terrible if you do manage to find a spot you cant get out of your door because parking spaces too small , my car came back with more dents than an old VW camper, and you must have right change for meter as if you try to get change in surrounding shops you have to buy something and while your attempting to get change a silly little long haired traffic warden runs from the cafe in the car park and gives you a ticket before running off again . You know who you are you little **** rant over.

Rock - don't bother unless your with the yachting yuppies 'i told you casandra to get in the queue while I finished my bloody G & T' one toff said while waiting on a windswept beach to head back to Padstow.

Padstow good restaurants Old Ship in served good stuff and Rickies fish and chips were gorgeous but cans of pop for £1.50 come on Mr Stien even Dick Turpin wore a mask

So overall a good experience spoilt only by Britains finest weather but Padstow Touring Park was a superb base. 


Date of Visit: June 2009 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Pootle06 3 reviews from this member

 Our 1st time staying at this campsite and we were very impressed. Spacious pitch enough room for caravan awning car and a table outside.

The site itself was very clean and well maintained, the shower and toilet facilities were possibly the best we have experienced.

The staff on site were very helpful, the shop is adequate but with Tesco only a few minutes away you don't need too much from there. You can get fresh bread, pasties and croissants delivered every day from the Chough bakery in Padstow.

We are due to return in August for another stay and we can't wait.

The weather we had in June/July was fantastic and the nearby beaches are a credit to Cornwall.

Reviewer: Lisali1503 2 reviews from this member

 We enjoyed an 8 night stay at this campsite in June which was great. The campsite is only a 20 min walk into the very pretty town of Padstow with lots to see and do, including the local horse riding, surfing, cycling on the camel trail and of course Rick Steins many establishments.

Campsite was clean and well maintained with good facilities - toilets, showers and washing up facilities were always clean, warm and easily accessible, free refreeze facility for ice blocks was an added bonus! Local amenities were fantastic with Tesco only a short walk away and approximately a miles walk into Padstow for an array of pubs and restaurants! The staff were extremely kind and helful and the onsite shop sold all of the essentials at a reasonable price.

Generally we had a fantastic time here and would recommend this site to anyone. As a local tourist attraction we particularly enjoyed the camel valley vineyard about a 40 min cycle along the camel trail from Padstow towards Bodmin.

Reviewer: Wheresmytent? 3 reviews from this member

 Spent 3 nights here, first time to this site.

Very well-kept quiet site with pitches mown between arrivals and generally very clean and tidy. Pitch size seemed to vary and our Superior pitch just about managed to fit our 3 berth tent, canopy and car.

Showers and toilets were kept clean during some very wet weather and soap and loo roll always available! Shower and toilet blocks had been updated, although shower curtains still in use which were showing signs of mould and showers lasted only about 5 seconds before the button needed to be re-pressed (my bug bear!).

Being able to walk into Padstow was great although as said previously this is across fields, but views make up for the mud.
