This is a very well maintained site with friendly staff. Toilet and Shower area is extremely clean and the best I have seen in a long time. Each pitch was spacious enough for our large tent but a bit bigger would have been better.
There are a few very large pitches but you need to book a year or so ahead to be in with a chance of getting them.
Porth beach is across the road but surfing on it is not allowed during Lifeguard hours. Nice for an evening surf though. Nicely situated for day trips to the Eden Project and there is a local shop just outside the camp for the essentials.
Stayed here in a folding camper on 20 & 21 July (first weekend of the school holidays). Not our first visit but the first during peak time. Timing was due to this being the first decent weekend since March to get out & about in Cornwall (where we live). Location is fantastic, being across the road from the beach.
Had a drink in The Mermaid, which overlooks the beach, watching the sun sink over the sea. Magic! Opposite the pub is a Spanish tapas bar/restaurant, which is one of the main reasons we choose to stay at this site.
The toilet/shower block was, as always, very clean and, despite the site being very busy, we didn't once have to wait for a shower cubicle. Staff were helpful, friendly and cheerful.
For us there was only one issue with the site - noise. Some from gulls (which can't be helped as it's the breeding season and they make a lot of noise everywhere in the county at this time of year) but mainly from other campers. I've been camping for many years and there used to be an unspoken campsite etiquette about noise after certain hours at night and before certain hours in the morning. The new breed of campers, however, carry on as if at home, not realising or not caring that there is only a thin sheet of material between them and the rest of the world, not a brick wall. TVs & DVDs blare out late into the night, people talk loudly - even though they can see that the majority of the campsite is in darkness with people clearly trying to get some sleep. In the mornings some campers thought nothing of letting their children run riot around the campsite from 0630. We were planning to stay a few more days but left on the Sunday and moved to another site.
Would definitely visit again but well outside peak season.
Very good site in the perfect location if you want to get to the beach. Out of the gate, cross the road, and you are standing on the sand in all of 20 seconds.
Well laid out, open site, with an extremely good toilet block that is well maintained with central heating (on cold days) and piped music.
Nicely situated just outside of Newquay itself and with a pub 20 yards from the site entrance, and a small shop 50 yards away.
All you need is the weather for the perfect location.
Friendly staff, great location and superb, spotless facilities. We felt the pitch fees were very reasonable. The Mermaid over the road has better than average pub fare. Bus stop at site entrance for Newquay/Padstow, hourly intervals. Great beach. Walk out to the headland to view the blow hole which can be impressive.
We visited in low season, which made for a pleasant, peaceful stay. Would consider returning during peak times. There are no local shops within easy walking distance but we found a Tesco Direct, Sainsbury's and Asda in Newquay, with a larger Morrisons outside of town.
Beautiful position, site, road then sea. Wonderful cove at Porth to watch wild waves or lots of sandy beach to walk across and coastal path.
Site is charming. 2nd Visit with motorhome. Generous pitches, superb shower rooms, warm welcome,
Pretty stream along back of one side of field.
Everything in apple pie order, easy booking, helpful staff, loan of ariel extension, plenty of parking, so so near the sea its amazing.
Walked to Newquay, fascinating town for many varied reasons. Pass a Tesco Express on walk to Newquay so handy to pick up a pint on the way back to site.
Bus ride to Newquay good fun too, which we also did first of all - double decker!
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 were lucky to be able to 'nip down' to Porth Beach from Bude during the hottest October weekend ever! It certainly made for another great stay at Porth Beach Touring Park.
We had called ahead to make sure we would be OK to just turn up on whichever day we decided to head off. Check in was friendly, quick and efficient and we were asked where we preferred to pitch. We had a massive corner pitch, grass with EHU, right at the end of the site which suited us very well.
Central toilet block always clean and never busy. Plenty of showers, toilets and privacy cubicles in each. Outside washing up area but undercover (if you know what I mean?!). Recycling near the toilet block and plenty of bins and water points around the site.
Porth Beach Stores has now sadly closed, so there's no longer a shop within 5 mins walk for your daily papers, bread, milk, etc. I think the site would do well if they offered papers to order and the odd basic foodstuff. A missed market maybe?
Bus stop right outside the site. We took it into Newquay one morning - 10 mins into town @ £2. 50 per person return fare and free for our dog.
The Mermaid Inn (the pub on the beach) is across the road from the site and is very popular with campers. Good food, not overpriced, good service and doggie friendly (inside and out).
This is not a site we would use during high season but it's great for us to use at the beginning and end of their camping season (April - October). We will be back without a doubt.
We have been to this site five times in the last eighteen years, the site is in a excellent location, across the road from a beach & a pub, with a 30 min walk into Newquay itself or you can catch the bus right outside the site, if you don't want to walk. The site itself is very level with enough room for our VW camper van & awning.
Now I have to say after we stopped there this year I don't know if we would go back again. When we turned up to our pitch there were little bits of rubbish on the pitch, so after pitching a 5 min clean was required (no major problem).
The main problem was the toilets and showers, they were dirty, my wife asked me if the mens were dirty, which they were, so we called in to reception to point this out to the staff, we were told that we were the first to complain this season & were thanked for our 'feedback'
Nothing was done for the rest of the time we were there, it just seems they were happy with a quick swill round, never were the toilets closed any time so they could be properly cleaned.
The problem with the pitch having little bits of rubbish on is because when someone moves from the pitch the staff just go round it with a ride on lawn mower which just chopped up any rubbish
This is not a cheap site either as it cost £33 a night for the pitch with electric.
Shame really as for it's location it is really good, maybe they had a off week
Stayed for four nights in June in a large family tent, on arrival staff were helpful and welcoming. Location is excellent, access to nice beach and coastal walks across the road, also pub serving good food at reasonable prices just across rd.
Newquay town centre is only a couple of miles away( we walked it along coastal pathway which took about 40mins), there's also a regular bus from outside site every half hour.
We found toilets and facilities to be very clean and of a high standard and well maintained, however the site was only approx 50% capacity so cant comment on busy times.
The only negative for us was the size of the pitches and we felt right on top of and hemmed in by our neighbours, great site for caravanners or motorhomes but for tents you need a little more space.
That said overall the site was very well maintained and in an excellent location.
This was our first visit to this site and would consider using it again. On arrival the staff are very welcoming and helpful, both with the site and the local area.
The facilities are large enough to cope with a full site and are kept in excellent order (although in 'peak' times they start to get a little messy but are soon sorted out).
The toilet/shower block did become a meeting place for the teenagers visiting the site and became quite loud at times. However, this did not effect us as we were pitch in the back of the site in the far corner. Therefore, if you have young children who goto bed early then I would recommend pre-booking the pitch away from the toilet block.
Local beech is outstanding. We spent nearly everyday here and the kids never got bored. Big waves and rock pools aplenty.
I stayed at this campsite for 3 nights and was really impressed with its facilities. The toilet block was well cleaned when we stayed and there were plenty of showers with hot water when you wanted them.
-When arriving at the campsite the staff placed us next to a caravan which blocked the light from our pitch, when we asked if we could move they were more than happy to move us to a pitch of our choice, though I doubt they would have been so helpful at a busier time of year.
-The only problems we had was the little wild rabbits that joined us in the tent in the middle of the night!- Serves us right for leaving food out!
-We loved that we were about two minutes from the beach and nice walks along the coast and the local pubs were lovely and extremely welcoming.
-We will be returning to this site again this year.
