 Stayed 2 weeks jan to feb 2014. Nice view over st ives from camp site. We did think site would be better suited to motorhomes than caravans, to face the view you have to let the van down the slope on to the hard standing pitch using the handbrake so you do need a motormover to get on and off the pitch with ease. The toilet block was modern but did have an odour which did not go away. Customer service skills came across not well

Wow, the views from this site are stunning and we had amazing sunny cold weather, which was a bonus.
We had a hard standing pitch with its own waste & fresh water and picnic table, right near the facility block.
The facility block was nice and warm with underfloor heating and very modern, one of the best we have seen.
Only a couple of little points of pickiness! Nowhere to put shampoo etc in the showers and my husband said the pressure was very low when he had a shower, although fine in the ladies?
Lovely walks from site onto the coastal footpath and into St Ives.
Had a Chinese delivered direct to the motorhome on the Saturday night, very nice it was too!

Worth the slightly higher than average price for the showers and the spectacular views! The site was busy but quiet as it was out of term time.
The allocated pitch was hard standing with water, drainage etc available. I was pleasantly surprised to find both a picnic table and wooden ramps available on the pitch. As the pitch was on a slope having the ramps was a necessity and these are great if you have forgotten your own.
The shower block is state of the art and outside the main areas there are small private shower/toilet rooms and even a wet suit shower area at the rear of the block. I could have happily spent a couple of hours under the power shower and they have even avoided the 'pre set' temperature that many sites use.
The whole site was beautifully clean and well laid out with views over St Ives from most pitches. Even this late in the season the Rugby Club still run their bus to/from town for £1 per person per trip. This stops outside the site and outside the Tate Gallery so is perfect unless you fancy an extremely steep climb back up the local roads to the site.

This is the Royalty of campsites, haven't bin camping long so maybe we are easily pleased? a bit more 'professional' then welcoming but excellent facilities, showers were clean and had radio playing In the blocks.
The overflow pitch where we camped was extremely close the coast with an amazing view (pitch at the top of the field for view of beach)
A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Small games room and the play area for kids looked amazing. Small burger van sells breakfasts in the mornings too. Little bit of a walk to the toilets, (if your not in the fancy pitches)
It's clean
It's well run
It's st Ives,
So it's pricey.

We have been to Ayr holiday park many times and it never disappoints us. The location is fantastic with an amazing view and once you pitch up you can leave your car and walk into St Ives.
St Ives has it all; great beaches, good eating out, lovely little streets and great galleries and shops. You can even walk the coastal path and catch a glimpse of seals lying on rocks below.
Most of the tent pitches are slopping and different sizes but all have a great view. Though sometimes this can mean you are a little more exposed to the elements so some extra guy ropes and some storm pegs are always useful.
The shower facilities are good and clean, with hot showers and no queuing.
Ayr is more expensive than other sites but there is no hassle of trying to park or paying out for buses or taxis when you are here.
The downside is you have to book well in advance for peak times but it is worth it.

Fabulous views out to sea & across St Ives from every pitch. The pitch was very level.
Clean shower block which seemed quite new, it was quite busy at times but generally ok. The showers were really hot.
Great location on the edge of town so only a 10 min walk to the beach & pubs etc. But it was still quiet at night. Short walk to the coastal path too.
There's a handy breakfast van on the site too.
Would definitely stay again.

This site is in a good location near the beach and the town only a ten minutes walk away, good town to visit. Site is at the top of a very steep hill but the bus to the top is only a pound. The views are spectacular, but the price is very expensive, over double the price of any other site in Cornwall, I suggest you phone to get a price first. The toilet and shower block is well OTT for a camp site and this is what you are paying for, all glass and chrome, too good for a camp site. This site has nothing that others have apart from a cheap breakfast bar for campers. The grass sites are very uneven. Cost of stay for motorhome and two people £33.

What a fantastic camp site, everything about this site made it a pleasure to visit. The shower block was out of this world. Under floor heating, music playing, a beautiful smell hot showers, hairdryers and so clean you could have eaten your dinner off the surfaces.
The views were to die for and the hardstanding pitch was perfect, from inside our motor home we had views over St Ives bay and could watch the tide going in or out. We didn't have children with us but the playground would have delighted any child, dogs were also welcomed with plenty of walks for them and their owners.
All the usual necessary facilities were there for toilet waste, washing up, washing drying machines, small shop ect. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful, we had a small problem with electrics which turned out to be an issue with the circuit board in our motorhome, but an electrician from the site came out to us very quickly and did all he could to help at no charge.
It's probably not the cheapest site available but if you want 5 star camping then this is the site for you. If we go back to Cornwall we won't stay anywhere else.

The best site I have ever been to, in the best location. We needed somewhere close to town as we did not want to move the motorhome! This was ideal, the facilities were excellent - you could live in the shower/toilet block - clean, warm, spacious, music all day!, well decorated and modern. Perfect. The site was busy, but quiet, and the views were magnificent. Plenty of blocks, boards etc around to help level units or prevent muddy areas by doors etc. Laundry was clean and efficient, and the games room was pleasant. Took just 10 mins to walk into town, but the walk back was much harder as it is up a VERY steep hill - taxi cost £4.

Very expensive site at £33 a night but decided to treat ourselves and its the only one within walking distance of St Ives.
However the price we paid was soon forgotten when we pitched up and had a fantastic view of St Ives and close to all amenities.
As you are on top of the hill its quite a treck back however they is a bus service next to the cafe close to the beach for £1 per person.
We would return if he wanted to treat ourselves.

Rest assured, this is a great campsite with stunning views of St Ives and Porthmeor Beach. A few minutes very steep downhill walk takes you into St Ives town with it's abundance of pubs, trendy shops and some quality restaurants (you will have to return by walking up the very steep streets!). Probably the finest most powerful shower you will find on a campsite anywhere in the 'state of the art' toilet and shower block. However this all comes at a price, and what a price! I was staggered to find that at Ayr Park I paid £38.25 per night for a tiny grass and mud pitch (albeit including electric) for our campervan and two adults. I was also informed that we would have leave by 10:00am the next morning. Although we could leave the 'van in their field for a few hours for an extra £3.
I suppose it all comes down to supply and demand and I understand that Ayr Park is always busy. I have been 'motorhoming' for nearly ten years and this is by far the most I have paid anywhere in the UK and Europe.

If Carlsberg did a campsite this would be the one.
Fantastic sea views over St Ives. Everything is clean and tidy, toilets are state of the art and immaculate the best I have seen camping by a mile.
A short walk down the hill and your in St Ives plenty pubs and restaurants, little narrow cobbled streets with interesting shops. Taxi is cheap as chips to save the walk back up the hill which is quite steep.
Only had the weekend which was nowhere near enough time too see everything. We will return to this site later this year, 5 stars without a doubt.

Visited whilst touring Cornwall. Previously stayed in a static approx' 20 years ago.
Initially thought site was a little expensive. Did not have h/u and cost was still £16. 50 per night.
However soon changed our minds when we pitched up and had a beautiful and unobstructed view over St. Ives.
Things got even better when we saw the toilet/showers and other facilities - All state of the art and well maintained.
Short walk down to St. Ives where you will find plenty of restaurants/pubs.
In summary a great site, ideally situated and excellent value for money.
Would recommend and will return!

The views from our pitch were amazing and we would return for this alone!
The pitch was sloping but chocks were provided and it was handy to have our own tap and enough shingle around the van to avoid walking on the muddy grass.
The toilets were lovely but I found them too hot! The showers were very powerful and easy to adjust the heat. However, the shower curtain kept sticking to me and there was nowhere to put shampoo etc.
There isn't a shop on site but not a problem as a couple of corner shops are close by.
We chose this site because we like to leave the van parked up for the duration of our stay. We easily walked into St Ives both via the coastal path and the main road - there was a handy map on entry to the park too. However, be aware that both ways are fairly steep coming back up!
We would return to this site even though it was costly. However, not every pitch would have such a good sea view, particularly if the site was full, so we would contact the park directly to try and pick a pitch.

We stayed over Christmas and had a lovely stay even though it was a little wild at times with the wind!
The toilet/shower block are 5 star.
The town centre is a 10 minute walk downhill will plenty of choice for eating, we ate in the Seaford Cafe on Xmas Eve which was very nice.
We caught the train to Penzance to watch our team Plymouth Albion lose to teh Cornish Pirates, easy and cheap.
We walked West away from the site on the coast path
And after 1 1/2 hours came across a sheltered cove with about 40 seals on it - worth the walk!
I would recommend anyone to stay.
