Date of Visit: July 2006 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Tony Downham 1 review from this member

 Well run site with very active owners. Standard of pitches was good, as was electric hook-up. Good toilets, showers & dishwashing facilities.

Only 2 draw backs:

1) The site is on top of a hill and as on a headland gets wind from the sea from SW through to NE (however the owners do clearly draw this to you attention when you book).

2) Clientelle - the site is a family only site and has banned groups under 25 (and when we were there threw off a group of 25 - 28 year olds who were there to party) BUT still there are those who do not treat the site with the respect it deserves. In particular there appear to be a number of families who are happy to let their 12+ year old children go off on their own. Whilst there several groups congregated around the play area and pool (although again the owners were very active in addressing these incidents). Also users seem to bring the overall cleanliness of the toilets (at least male) down.

Location is good only a mile away from Harlyn Bay - very nice, v. Good surf school. However walking down was a bit dodgy as a lot of vehicles drive far too fast and were rude to pedestrians (but a lot were very helpful / patient).

St Merryn is only 1/4 mile away and is well equiped with several shops (although they tended to be dearer than the site shop) and Bistros. We tried Prynn's, which specialises in seafood - nice but pretty dear (and cute at extracting the tourist pound). The local pub - the Farmer's Arms - seemed a bit grotty.

Padstow easily reached and has a good Tesco.

In summary a good, well run site, but suffering from the pull that the wider Newquay area has for the "Magaluf" set.

 Busy campsite with toilets and showers seriously overstretched. Good shop, reasonably priced, lovely area, plenty of beaches to choose from. About 45 minutes from the Eden Project. Playground for kids was great - ditto for swimming pool. Bar and pizza restaurant also good - takeaway pizza's v good quality. Nearest big supermarket Tesco - 15 minutes away in Padstow.
