We stayed here in September when it was extremely windy.
The site is really lovely, very quiet & picturesque. The play are wasn't really that good at the point of our visit, our children were quite bored with it but having the beach a stones throw from the tent made the kids day.
The shower block was superb! It was always clean, always warm & the showers were excellent. Very impressed.
The laundry block was good, just a little expensive.
My main complaint was our plot, we were literally positioned at the end of what is effectively a wind tunnel. Because of this our tent was blown to shreds. We had to cut our holiday short because the tent broke & we couldn't cook. I'm not entirely sure a different plot would have been better, however the plots along the edge that the toilet block was on was much more sheltered than where we were.
It's not put us off though. The location was brilliant, we have a new, more weather proofed tent & will be going back. It's a good campsite & one I do recommend to other people.
We stayed here for 2 weeks in August and can honestly say we never encountered any of the problems the 'WebbyFamily' did. We booked online without any problem, pitch sizes and prices are clearly stated. On arrival we found the staff to be polite and helpful a map was provided showing pitch numbers as well as toilet block and drinking water tap locations.
Pitches are colour coded in order of size, red, green, yellow and blue, with red being the smallest and blue the largest. We had booked a 'Green' pitch which easily accommodated our 9m x 4m tent, car and we still had a 4 metre gap to the next tent, hardly what you would call a small pitch.
In the 2 weeks we were there the toilet block was always clean, that includes the Mens and the Ladies, never had any bad smells emanating from the drains and remember this is peak season.
As others have said there are no facilities on site but the shop and pub are just a couple of minutes walk away as is the pub and restaurant with an additional cafe located across the other side of the beach.
Yes its not cheap, but then this is Cornwall and it is after all peak season. Is it worth the money yes most definitely, nice clean site in a fantastic location so 9 stars from us.
BUT, I do not understand the high praise given out to the shower/loos. They are not the cleanest. They are just not cleaned often or thoroughly enough. They are full of sand, hair etc. And they seriously need a deep clean. And one dirty mop, full of hair, is just not enough for campers to use. Whilst showering someone in the next cubicle thought it was ok to urinate which came into my space. Yuk.
Also, in the ladies showers is an area for bathing babies. There are signs up stating that anyone found using this area for any other action would be severely dealt with. When I challenged a woman for cleaning her child's shoes in it, I was given an absolute mouth full. So don't go if you want to wash your baby.
There are stand pipes situated around the site for campers to fill up containers with water. These were used by some people for cleaning wet suits, shoes etc. Surely they must know this is not healthy. Could the site owners please put notices up to this effect and provide an area for cleaning these items.
Other than the above, we had a fantastic time and would not hesitate to return.
Not the cheapest, but a great site, and a really great location!
It's a very busy place in peak season, during the day it's relatively quiet but at around 5pm it comes alive, as all the families return from the beach and various days out. So a really good place to stay for families, but probably best avoided in peak season, if you don't have kids. Despite being busy during the day, the site soon quietens down at night, so there's no problem getting small children to sleep.
The location is fantastic, as it's directly opposite/just across the road from the beach, you can even hear the sound of the waves crashing from the campsite. This means that you can just walk down to the beach, so no need to drive anywhere, pay for parking, or get sand in the car. Porth is a great beach, with a stream running through it that kids love to play in, it also has decent surf with lifeguards patrolling in peak season, so a safe place to swim and bodyboard. Watergate bay which is the next bay along, is much better for actual surfing though as there is a lot more room. Newquay town centre is about a twenty minute walk away so again no need to use the car if you don't mind a walk.
The site toilet/shower block is one of the best I've ever seen and is spotless even despite the high volume of users in peak season. The site doesn't have a shop, but there is one just outside the main gate that caters for both campers and beach goers. The site laundrette is well equipped, but quite expensive at £5 per wash and £1per 10 mins for tumble drying.
Porth Beach is certainly where we'll be staying when visiting Newquay from now on!
Seriously unimpressed with this site. Toilet block may be new but wasn't particularly clean. For the five nights we stayed the drains emitted a foul smell that turned your stomach, particularly by the ladies showers. Word of warning, don't try to book online, we did and it wouldn't let us complete the booking, so we rang up, told them this and they completed our booking over the phone and assured me the provisional online booking had been deleted. Receptionist forgot to take money for our dog but said we could pay when we arrived. On arrival they'd confused our details with the provisional booking which hadn't been deleted and rather rudely told us we were lucky they still had our plot and we couldn't have an awning up. I explained we had paid in full for a larger plot to include an awning, and that I'd done it by phone, but when they realised they were looking at the provisional booking (which hadn't been deleted) and the correct details were found there was no apology for making us panic, or for being rude. The sites are far too small, too close together, and too expensive for what they are, and there are no views. A ten minute walk to the beach is all it has going for it. A recent site we visited in wales which was right on a beach with spectacular views, well spaced out and fully serviced hardstanding pitches with own electric and water was £18 a night (in high season) whereas this was almost £40 for patchy grass pitches with water we were vaguely told was 'over there somewhere' by a chap who turned up in his van as we were parking and asked us to move our van 8 inches to the right (that's how tight the pitches were and our van is a tiny 1964 restored sprite). Totally overpriced. Only thing that made it bearable was beautiful weather and beaches. Not a great play area, local pub 'The Mermaid' is grotty and the seemingly underage staff are miserable, at £17 for a steak you at least expect them to come and wipe your table of sauce stains and beer puddles (they didn't). All in all found Porth a bit tired and drab, Newquay itself is overcrowded and a bit chavvy, not our scene. Having never been we didn't know what to expect from the area, but can honestly say we'll definitely be giving it a miss next time.
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
Overall a nice campsite in a nice location which we have put on our 'visit again' list.
The shower and toilet area are spacious and very clean, modern and always had soap/toilet tissue.
I only had to queue once for a few minutes to have a shower during a busy period.
The campsite does get busy, and for those pitched close to the shower and toilet block I guess they may have experienced a noisy night as many unattended children gather in this area in the evenings with scooters and bikes etc.
There is a small play area for children, but again those pitched close by may not get the peace they desired. I recommend checking out the map of the site and try to get a pitch away from these areas if you would be bothered by noise.
The staff are polite, but I wouldn't say 'over friendly', rather keep themselves to themselves.
There is not a shop on site, but just 2 mins walk along the the road is a small newsagent which sell the basics.
Also for food there is a nice pub just by the beach, which sell good value food, it does get busy in the evenings, but you can reserve tables.
The location of this site is great - the beach is just over the road - you can pop back to your unit for a cuppa ! Newquay is near by, but is quite a trek to walk in. You can visit Watergate Bay, Padstow, Newquay all easily from this site.
Great toilets and washing up facilities, all clean and modern. In fact some of the best we have been to. Flat site, fair size pitches.
There is a pub over the road too. Would definitely return !
This is a great site and well located to access all the major points of interest In and around Newquay, Padstow, Wadebridge and not far for a trip south to Falmouth, Truru etc, The site is quite extensive but the pitches are very large so you are NOT on top of each other. The pitches are all level and grassed with electrical points to each and water points well supplied. The TV signal is good for a change down here, thanks to a recent upgrade.
The toilets and wash facilities are immaculate. Probably the best we have encountered in the last three months or so of touring around the UK. Security is good with a car ID point at the entrance with a boom gate. The pub. Twenty metres. And a general store. Fifty metres away make for ease of necessities being available. Also a bus stop for north and south right at front park entrance.
A very good site and well worth considering. We would definitely return.
Good site, well managed, clean washrooms and pitches are taken care of regularly. Excellent location with the beach just across the road, Newquay close enough to walk by road and lovely to walk to along the coastal path. Bus stops at the site to and from the centre of Newquay although the timetable can't be trusted, just turn up and wait!
My only complaint about the site would be the lack of play space for kids. The play area is small to say the least and there are no open grassy areas to have any ball games and stuff like that. Having to give the kids a DVD or video game while you do the BBQ isn't ideal for an outdoor holiday.
One word of advice, stock up at the Spar up the road or the ASDA or Sainsbury's in Newquay as the shops just outside the site are a rip-off, 95p for a Coke, £1. 49 a can of Fosters (prices correct at time of writing). They have you on their doorstep and they abuse it without shame!
All in all, would definitely go again, had a wonderful time, good surf, beautiful location, very happy times.
Stayed here for a week in july as a late replacement when we were cancelled from Treamble Valley.
Great site, clean and warm toilet block, good sized pitch, great beach across the road along with the pub and shop close by,
Newquay is a 30 minute walk away via the coastal path and make sure you visit Lusty Glaze beach for the sea and the food.
Only down side was the hardstanding pitch is no longer level as the mono block has sunk
