 I stayed here for 3 nights with my Fiancée. We were impressed with all aspects of the site- it felt safe, secure and was clean. The toilet / shower block was clean & pleasant, showers very good, although no soap at the sinks.
The location of this site is superb, literally across the road from the beach. Newquay was a 10 minute drive, Eden project about 1/2 hour away, St Ives about 3/4 hour.
The site was able to rent me ice packs for cool box, and retail LPG for cooking. Although there is no shop on site (other than 2 can drink machines) a well stocked newsagent has recently opened just outside the entrance to the campsite.
We ate at the pub opposite the site on our final evening, and the food was better than I'd expected, and better than a pub meal eaten in Newquay previously!
I would stay at this site if camping in the Newquay region again, and would happily recommend it to others.

I camped for one night at Porth Beach on a backpacking trip, and was very happy with my experience. The receptionist thoughtfully located me close to the shower block but away from families with children (I had been walking all day!) without being asked, which was much appreciated.
The toilets and showers are excellent, and there is also a well organised launderette. I was particularly grateful for the tumble dryers, as keeping clothes properly dry had proved quite difficult while on the move. A visiting van in the mornings sells bread, milk and a few other essentials near the shower block.
There are a pub and restaurant near the camp entrance, but I didn't see an on-site shop. I did experience some traffic noise, but the nearby Newquay airport was quiet overnight.
Overall, this was a nice site and I can recommend it to other campers.

Quiet well located site. As a 2 man tent we had a small corner pitch but it was large enough for us. As someone who likes her sleep I was really glad of the 'no groups' policy. I've spent enough nights in tents hearing large drunk groups shouting at each other and laughing at 1am to be glad of a break from them. Campsite very quiet from 11-7ish and slept well. Showers hot. The pub over the road has reasonably priced food and good beer and a nice beer garden by the beach. It's a long walk to swim in the sea as shallow beach but we had fun bodyboarding at low tide and there are some good rock pools.

This is an excellent campsite with very good facilities. Great for couples and families alike. Very good security, with staff on at night who are a visible presence to deter the unwelcome.
The shower block is one that other campsites aspire to given the cleanliness and range of equipment.
A few gripes, but minor ones at that. The size of the pitches are a bit on the lean side and you have to go up through the pricing bands to get a half decent size square footage. The site is very popular so it appears that the pitches are designed to get the maximum number of units for the most reward.
A site shop would be a welcome addition, plenty of room in the adjacent car park to sell those essential items rather than walk up the road or drive to the local supermarket.
So if I had to score, it would be 9 out of 10, excellent location and we are going again this August and have already booked for 2009.

We visited this site this weekend and arrived on Friday when the weather was dull and damp. The campsite was easy to find and situated just through a public car park. The park itself is just a 2 minute stroll from the beach, and with a local pub and bistro and a small shop it had all the basics needed.
The actual site was flat and had some hard standing pitches although we did not have one. We were designated an end pitch and found it to be large and the ground well maintained. The toilet block was clean and the showers hot and with room to put your clothes whilst you showered. There is also a launderette and between 10 and 11 staff sell newspapers and essentials from outside.
The drive to Newquay took about 10 minutes and takes you from this quiet cove to a much busier and noisy town that has the local shops that you would expect from a seaside town. We also visited the beautiful Watergate Bay and numerous other small beaches that seem to be around every corner of this picturesque coastline.
This site is ideal and caters for both families and couples. The beach and surrounding hills give breathtaking pictures and an ideal space to play. A definite must to visit if touring Cornwall.

Great site, what more can I say, me and my my family stopped here for 2 weeks of july 2006 and had the best holiday ever. My kids, twin girls aged 3 loved the play park and also the beach which was only a 2 minute walk. A pub across the road with entertainment and food and a shop just a 2 minute walk away. The shower blocks and toilets were second to none and were very Clean with air conditioning and music playing all day. The site is very peaceful on the whole and the pitch we had was huge and nice and grassy. The gates closed at 8 pm every night so very safe for children to play with no cars driving about.
So to sum up Great Site, Great Beach, Great Toilet/Shower Blocks, Great Facilities and we will defenitly be returning in the future.

The best place to stay in Porth!
Stayed here over the Easter weekend and boy did we make the right decision.Seeing as Cornwall had the best weather out of the whole UK!
We hired a brand new static caravan (van number 3) that the owners had just installed. All their statics are new for 2008 and are fully equipped with all kitchen stuff, central heating throughout, lovely shower and bedding. Plus the added bonus of a flat screen tv with Freeview!
The site is well maintained, with the vans being separated from the campsite by a large hedgerow. There is ample parking, we parked next to the van, although I can imagine the car park at the front of the site getting pretty busy in high season.
This site is far superior to the larger caravan parks as is evident just by looking at their website. The brochure and website really doesn't do it justice! Just a shame we were only there for 4 nights, although looking to go back in September (fingers crossed!).
Had fantastic contact with the owners via email prior to booking and can't sing their praises enough for having such a lovely spot right on the beach.
There's a pub right opposite the park, however we didn't use this as we often ventured into Newuqay by cab for the evening (about £6 single fare). For a fantastic curry go to Maharajah in Newquay, especially at sunset as their views are amazing! There's also an Iron Age settlement on the right hand side of the beach opposite the site with a very scary bridge that goes over the sea.You have to go there when the sea is rough to experience it!
Didn't use the toilet block or laundry facilities but they look supberb.
Would highly recommend this site for families and couples of all ages. They don't take bookings for large groups (stags etc), which is a godsend!

We stayed here for a week during the rainy season! Our first 3 days were beautiful - the access to the beach is fantastic and having 3 small children we couldnt fault the facilities of the park.
Beach (no Dogs - great lifeguards) and the local pub and shops/takeaway - nearby is a beautiful chinese and round the corner was a bowling alley. The only real problem was the weather and the small pitches - we would have booked for this year but even though we tried straight after Christmas they were fully booked for electric hook ups for the school holidays! So get in quick!

We just spent the weekend here, great position close to Newquay and next to Porth beach small shop just outside and a great pub. The shower/ toilet block was great very modern and very clean even had music playing. The only down side was the pitches were a bit small (and we had a larger one) there was not much room between pitches. made it very hard to get the caravan on and off the pitch as you were close to the caravan/ tent in front and beside. we did feel very closed in and the site wasn't full. We might go back in the very quiet times of year but would not consider going in season we like a bit of privacy. If your not looking for space and just want a pitch this is a great site it was very popular with tents and this might be why.

We stayed here for 1 week with my partner and our 9 year old son. The site is ideally placed, close to the beach and a 5 minute drive into Newquay. The toilets and showers were excellent, clean and modern.
The site was busy but was not noisy, although later at night older teenagers did gather around the toilet block, using bad language making it a little uncomfortable when taking my 9 year old to the toilet block. The local pub is great, serving lovely food, you can take your well behaved dog in which makes a change for us campers with a dog who normally get stranded outside whatever the weather.
The beach is lovely but you cant take your dog on so we used to have to use the car to get to the next beach that we could take the dog on, which sort of defeated the object of being on a site close to the beach.
The only downside was I found the reception staff a little "stroppy" when we asked if we could pitch our tent to the other side of our pitch than the side we were told to, this was due to a raised manhole on our pitch that would have been located directly under where we sleep. The warden who came out to see us however was lovely.
We are not going back next year but only because we have found a site close to the lovely beach at Mawgan Porth, that we can walk to and take the dog,
This site is ideal for families who want a base within walking distance to a clean safe beach.
