Absolutely wonderful stay here and will definitely return.
Showers and toilets some of the best we have visited.
Friendly staff and check in very easy.
Good pub at end of the road, didn't eat at as booking seems essential, though food looked excellent.
Food on site also very good as we ate there on two occassions.
Bar and restaurant immaculate and very well run, only spoilt by the fact that on one evening, we were just about to order our food, and a massive thunderstorm knocked all the power out. Can't blame them for that though.
Location is good and the sea views are marvellous, fog allowing!
Excellent bus service into St Ives from site. Walk too much for us!
Very dog friendly and good walks for them.
As I have already stated above, we will certainly return.
We spent 5 nights here as part if a touring holiday and what a lovely site. We don't usually go for sites with bars etc but were swayed by the proximity to St Ives. Large pitches, spotless amenities which, on our visit at least, were cleaned at 1am so as not to close in the daytime! To be fair the bar was pleasant enough, can't comment on the food but it looked reasonable. They had a quiz night on the Tues which was a giggle. And tv screens showing the European Championship matches.
We used the bus from the site into St Ives and back. £1. 50 each way and very reliable with friendly drivers. There's also a friendly pub a five minute walk from the site, Hasletown Inn, where we had a good meal on the Saturday night but I would advise booking (we only booked a few hours in advance but while we were eating they were turning people away).
St Ives is a lovely friendly town with plenty of places to eat, pubs with live music, 3 or 4 beaches in walking distance, and we even saw a seal in the harbour. Despite initial reservations when booking, due to the size of the site and bar, I would definitely return snd hopefully fairly soon!
This is the best campsite I've visited so far. It's extremely well thought out, immaculately clean, and everything looks as if it were brand new.
It's within walking distance of St Ives and has wonderful views of the sea and surrounding countryside. We would definitely come here again.
If I had to make a criticism it would be that the shop could carry a wider range of stock, but the staff are very friendly, and there are a multitude of other shops close by
Stayed for a week at the end of school term-time so immediately before the main season began - did the same here last year - site was pretty full at the weekend when we arrived but much quieter midweek and then the crowds flocked as we left (don't think it was anything to do with us!) and it was clear that it was going to be ftb!
The washroom facilities are superb - always kept immaculately clean and there are plenty of blocks so if the closest one is shut for cleaning then it isn't far to walk to another block.
Love the way you check pitch availability online before you book with an interactive map so you can see which ones are available for the time you want to go for. However if you want to go during school hols you need to book very early - booing open on 1st July for the following year.
We heard of someone who tried to get through on the phone on 1st July 2016 to book for summer 2017 and left his phone on redial until he got through - it redialed 750 times! So if you want to stay there in the summer hols best you take a day off work on 1st July of the previous year and be prepared to sit tight and wait patiently!
Pool is lovely and food is Ok in the bar/takeaway. Great food pub a short walk away - but not cheap pub grub. Takes about 30mins to walk to St Ives, all downhill and if you are not fit enough to walk back up again after a day on the beach or wandering around the town then the bus will take you back to the site for £1. 50 - they give you a timetable when you check-in as it runs more often during high season. Whatever you do, don't drive into town - nowhere to park!
Basic foodstuffs in camp shop which was open from 8. 30am until 7pm (apart form an hour closed at lunchtime) while we were there - poss different hours at different times of the season? But a reasonable Tesco is about a 10 min drive from the site so we used that a couple of times.
My only disappointment is that I paid £15 for a wifi access code for a week and got very little use out of it as I could rarely get connected and when I did I lost signal frequently, so much so that I gave up trying in the end.
Polmanter is a bigger site than we would normally choose, but we selected it mainly because of its location near to St Ives – and were glad we did.
Although large, the layout of the site and the screening hedges between pitches provide a lot of privacy. It might be different in the high season, but when we were there the site was surprisingly quiet.
The leisure facilities are excellent, especially the immaculate heated outdoor pool and the adjoining bar and restaurant – we only had a drink here, but it's very pleasant, and the takeaway food service is a great idea.
There are also tennis courts and a small pitch and putt golf course, and the shop is well stocked. The toilet and shower block that we used was modern and spotlessly clean.
You can walk into St Ives from the site, or there's a good and regular bus service that goes from the site entrance to the town centre.
St Ives itself is lovely, with great beaches, interesting shops and galleries and plenty of good places to eat (we especially enjoyed the Porthmeor Beach Café).
We also took the train from here to Penzance, which was very good value. A very good site that would be particularly attractive to families with young children, near to a lovely seaside town.
A small south facing camping and caravanning site situated on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor near Liskeard, Cornwall with views over surrounding countryside. Two areas for tents, caravans and motorhomes with hardstanding or grass pitches, with or without electric hook ups. Glamping at Fursdon includes 3 stunning Pods, an authentic Shepherds Hut, as well as a fantastic communal cooking and social area.
Superb facilities including toilets, showers and laundry, site wide WIFI, designated dog-walking area, reception area and small shop and an electric vehicle charging point. Ideally situated for access to beaches and moorland in Cornwall and west Devon! Find out more here
We normally stay at Ayr caravan site when visiting St Ives but this time it was full. However Polmanter was a good substitute. Toilets and showers were always clean and well maintained, staff very polite and helpful.
There is a pool on site and a bar serving food each night. Dogs are allowed into the conservatory part of the pub and there is an excellent field for dog walking. You can walk down to town but there is a regular bus service to and from the site to centre of town - dogs accepted. Cost is £1. 50 per person each way.
If I have a gripe it was the cost. The season is now over but we paid £88 for 3 nights - there was a £10 charge in this for the dog. As I feed the dog I am assuming this is the pro rata rate for staff to empty the dog poo bin in the dog walking park. It's a bit steep to charge £3. 33 per night for my dog to sleep in my 'van and eat food which I supplied. It's my only complaint.
This was a pleasant 3 night stopover in the St Ives area - I would recommend this site for a out of season visit to St Ives.
Just back from this site can only say that it is a very good site from being able to arrive the night before (12 midnight) to the bus back from st Ives, toilets spotless, reception staff very good, gardeners very good, bar staff very good. We arrived about 1. 00am 7th Aug head down till about 7. 00 am walked down to site 100 mtrs used toilets later got bacon cob/tea from take away checked in about 8. 00 am staff said some one will come up to early arrival field and let you know when your pitch is ready (web says pitch available from 12. 00 midday) at 10. 15 tap on van door nice guy says your pitch is ready on pitch and set up by 12. 00 our second week was on a different pitch spoke to gardener on morning of move and he went straight to new pitch mowed it and then came and told us it was ready cant fault staff or site. Bar good food good beer good entertainment ok can only say if you want a good facility site with good staff and good views across the bay this is it but one word of warning book early we booked in March and could only get 7 nights managed to get another 7 later on a different pitch, people book before they go home, our neighbour has been going for 17 years can only say try it.
This is our 3rd visit to Polmanter, but first visit with a caravan, we've had a tent on previous visits.
This is a great family site, loads to do locally, St Ives is a short walk down the hill, but I'd make sure you get the bus back as walking back up that hill isn't much fun. The bus only costs £1. 50 so it's well worth it.
The site has a pool which is warm and clean, we enjoyed that. The clubhouse/bar is great, reasonably priced, good food, good service. As is the take away also on offer. There is shop, but apart from an occasional newspaper we didn't use it. (I arranged for Tesco online to deliver, met them at the gate!)
There is a pub/restaurant within 5 mins walk (although we drove as it was raining) called The Halsetown Inn, we were made very welcome there, even our dog, food was excellent. Highly recommended.
There are very few negative points about this site. As with lots of busy sites, the pitches are well used in August, so ours didn't have much grass on it when we arrived which was a shame, it was quite muddy when it rained. I mentioned this when we checked out and was told that our pitch had been used day in, day out from the last 2 1/2 months so it was to be expected. I was paying over £50 a night so was actually hoping for a bit of grass! I bought a £15 7 day token for the campsite wifi, once you were connected it was great, but it was really hassle to log on each time you went to use it as after a moments inactivity it kicked you out and you had to log back in again. It only worked on one devise as well, so each member of the family had to have their own token, on other campsites, if I logged out on my phone, my son could log in on his.
However, we will certainly be booking another week here. Keep up the good work!
This is an excellent caravan site with friendly staff, great setting and excellent amenities. There is a restaurant on site serving really good food, not just average burgers or pizzas but dishes that are different, excellent quality and delicious. The toilet facilities are modern, clean and comfortable. It is one of the best sites we have stayed on and why we return. Wifi is not free but then that is a small thing.
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.
This peaceful park is home to an outdoor heated swimming pool with waiter service, tennis court, adventure playground, outdoor football table, table tennis, pool table, large shop and take away service. FREE WiFi, dog walking meadow. Pentewan Beach is just five minutes away! Find out more here
Have visited this site many times first in a trailer tent then caravan and now camping, the site is fantastic, great toilet/shower facilities always very clean, pitches a good size, food and drink available on site also has take away facilities and shop, good playground and swimming pool, a bus run from the site to and from StIves takes 5 minutes, you can also walk to StIves in about 30 minutes, couldn't ask for a better site and we have tried many.
This site is set in beautiful countryside with views to the sea and across the fields. The facilities are first class toilet blocks plenty of space in the showers always immaculate clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The site is within walking distance of StIves or there's a bus all be it up hill coming back but a beautiful walk of about 25 minuets but plenty to look at so doesn't seem that far. There is a swimming pool and lovely children's play area. Plus a restaurant and take away all in all very special site we definitely will return again next year
Nicely appointed site with an easy downhill walk into St Ives and if you don't fancy the walk back, a regular bus from the centre of town takes you back to the site entrance.
Lovely clean facilities, easy check-in and good value when using an ACSI card out of season.
The only negative for me was the bl**** seagull that pinched one of the pork chops cooking on the BBQ - Very clever though as I only turned my back for an instant to pick up some seasoning!
Just back from a week on this site. Excellent facilities, very clean and tidy. Had a lovely pitch on the top overlooking the sea. The walk through the lane down to St Ives is very pretty. Visited Godrevy and walked the headland where there are seals living and breeding. Stunning views, well worth a visit. (National Trust).
Only downside of campsite was that the restaurant and shop were both closed from third week in September. As no village shop it would have been helpful to have shop open. Not had this before on any site.
