 This is a great site with open views. Access could not be easier down a straight road into a very wide entrance / reception area. All staff really helpful and friendly. We had a fully serviced hard standing pitch which was big enough for a big RV and almost level.
When you arrive you will be given an excellent plan of the site which also includes a lot of very useful information about the area.
The facilities we found to be very clean and the ones behind the reception area are to a very good design standard.
As mentioned the walk into Padstow is a good 20 minutes down hill and you cross fields and go over stiles to get to the road. If you are energetic the walk back will get your pulse rate up. The other alternative is to catch the 555 bus which starts from the car park entrance near the cycle hire shop, and at the time of writing, went on the half hour and stopped at the end of the road to the site.
As an alternative to Rick Stein's eateries try the Endoc Hotel at Rock which is run by Nathan Outlaw. Food and service superb and at £15 for a 2 course lunch very reasonable. The ferry trip accros and the walk to it all add to the experience.
Definitely go back and would happily recommend this site

This is a great site, clean and tidy with wonderful walks to the superb Padstow.
I think if your a Dog owner this is ideal. The walk is only suitable for the active as it goes over three fields and some tricky stiles, very muddy at times on one stile.
The Dunes around the side of Padstow are beautiful, clean and quiet.
Site is secure and quiet with a good little shop, we had no problems at all and will return

Have just returned from a one week stay at Padstow touring park. I have to say the website looks a lot better than the park itself. We stayed on a deluxe pitch which I felt was very small and we were extremely squashed in and there wasn't much room for the car.
However the park was in a great location for the beaches and close to Padstow. I would not recommend walking to Tesco across the fields as it is quite a long walk the car is quicker.
The on site toilets and showers were very clean and had plenty of hot water. We had a problem with a dog fouling on our pitch I complained to reception and someone was cleaning it up before I had even walked back to the tent, full marks for that one.
On the whole we had a great week at the Padstow Touring Park we were quite lucky with the weather I would just say it was a little to busy for us but I put that down to school holidays and Cornwall being a very busy holiday destination.

It was our second visit to this site and we loved it as much as the first time. Lovely spacious pitches. Our pitch was a little boggy due to the rain they had had, they did try to change it but it was busy so were not able to but staff did come along and put sand down for us which did help. The toilets, although not the best I have seen are clean and there are plenty of them, which is good because they can get busy when everyone comes back from the beach. The shop is good for essentials. On arrival you get a very informative leaflet about the beaches and other things in the area. We loved being able to walk to Padstow across the fields and we also rode our bikes from the site to Padstow to join the Camel trail. So many great beaches in the area and lovely places to visit. Can`t wait to go back!

This was our first visit to this touring park, and it wont be our last. The staff were very friendly the site was well kept. It is situated in a farm where you can walk through the corn fields into Padstow or tesco.
We were on a deluxe hard standing pitch which was very big. The shower rooms all had their own sink and toilet, the only negative point I would make is that to operate the shower you had to push the control in far too often ( duration time needs to be longer). The showers were always clean and staff would be in there at nine o`clock cleaning them.
Though the site accepted dogs I feel that they could have a separate area to allow dogs to do their business even though the dog owners cleaned the mess up. It was on a large grass area where children played and on one occasion not all was removed.
Other than that it is a very good site.

Well run park about 1. 5 miles out of Padstow. Ideal for touring the area. There is a walk into town across several fields which can be a bit messy in the wet. Bus service outside the site is also a bit haphazard with there timetable.
Site can be breezy and toilet blocks are showing there age.
Port Isaac (Doc Martin) is stunning and well worth a visit. Along with Tintagel. If you like it a bit more lively try Newquay.
Not much near the site food wise - But Padsow is full of Restaurants to suit all types of pocket. Paul Ainsworth at No6 is superb but for deep pockets (£160 for 2 adults)and you need to book well in advance.
For the active try the Camel trail, for walking or cycling along. It follows the old rail line along the Camel estuary so its nice and flat. We managed to do the 12 miles to Wadebridge and back. Plenty of places to hire cycles down at the harbour.

We stayed for one week. I asked for a pitch away from the loos etc as I was taking my dog and people going past would possibly make him bark.
We had a lovely big pitch in a nice quiet area, lovely flat pitches all over. Bright and clean site. Small shop 9-5 hours. Toilets/showers clean and perfectly good, hot water. No need for coins or tokens for shower.
Campsite entry in and out is barrier controlled with number plate recognition. One night we came in about 10. 30 and couldn't get the thing to recognise our numberplate - tried again a few nights later and it worked - think it was our incorrect approach angle previously :-/
We were told that there was a footpath to padstow from site and there was. 1/2 mile to a small tesco store and a further 1/2 mile into town. We walked this most days to save on driving and parking. Could be a bit difficult if you are unable to climb a stile or dry stone wall step (elderly or with young kids/pushchairs) but then maybe a mile walk would put you off anyway!
The staff were friendly, helpful, and this was a brilliant little campsite. We don't have kids but there is a little play area, lots of kids take bikes as its flat and safe to cycle about on.
We took our dog and so did most other people there! every type of dog conceivable and all very well behaved. To be kept on a lead at all times.
I would certainly go there again - thank you padstow touring park for a lovely holiday and thank you padstow town for being so dog friendly!

Firstly the landscaping on site is very nice and we were allocated a good spacious pitch. However, this park is promoting itself with a five star AA rating and based on this expectation it is very disappointing.
There are a number of areas in view that are not pretty, old seemingly abandoned caravans in a storage area, old commercial style waste bins, grass cuttings piled high near pitches etc. But worst of all the loo and shower facilities are not five star. The block to the rear of reception is the best with individual shower rooms, the main blocks are grim, acro props and wonky wood in the ladies supporting the roof and no apparent cleaning on the first day we were there.
The walk to Padstow is fine, although a longish mile but a note to dog owners. The styles are not very dog friendly, especially if your dog is a little older. They are high stone styles with nasty drops and others are broken with nails sticking out, we had to lift our pooch over!
On the plus side check in was efficient and the handout provided very good. For motorhomers the waste water point was impossible for our 7m van due to placement of gas tanks behind and a grass cutting trailer to the side, no wonder the people on the pitch next to us drained their waste water on the pitch! Just did not live up to five star expectations.

Enjoyed our stay here. Very friendly welcome.
£8. 00 in total for two dogs for two nights seems excessive. Especially when the other sites we stayed at on our way down didn't charge and were the same per night if not less.
Pretty easy 20 min walk into Padstow. Take a torch for on the way back.
Toilet blocks very clean and never busy.
Pitches were quite level. Can't comment on closeness as the park wasn't full.
Enjoyed our evenings at St Petrocs Bistro and Margots restaurant. Overall a very good stay and very good weather.

Just back from a 5 night break, this site is really great, well kept clean and tidy, showers were hot and clean, wash up area kept clean and tidy. We loved the way the barrier worked as it meant we did not have to worry about being back by a certain time. The pitch was large enough for us to have car parked next to us My only comment would be the campsite is surrounded by farmland with very noisy sheep, you get an amazing sun rise. Padstow is within easy walking and having tesco down the road was great when you run out of milk.

Stayed here for two weeks, thoroughly enjoyed the site, spacious pitches, friendly staff. Good location, only 20mins walk into Padstow across the fields. Tesco very close & handy for those emergencies.
Toilet/showerblock spotless. Our only criticisms are the showers, in the block furthest from reception really need to be upgraded, old holes in tiles grouted over & there were two old cubicles which let down the rest of the block, also they are all the push button type & don't stay on long enough. The ones I tried lasted an average 10-15 seconds.
Overall though an excellent site. We will be returning. Soon.

Warm welcome, about 20 mins walk across fields to Padstow. Take a torch if you plan on coming back after dark across those fields (we took a tumble or two!).
Site itself - friendly welcome, but pitches are very close together and not separated by hedges/shrubbery really, so you feel a bit 'touristy' and everyone can watch your every move.
The welcome leaflet is among the best we have encountered, with just about everything you would need to know.
Probably wouldn't go back ourselves but that's more to do with Cornwall weather, nightmare traffic and the fact that we would prefer a more spacious campsite.

Arrived on Saturday 6th August 2011, easy check-in and fully informed of all facilities and shown map of site,
Large clean pitch with electric and water plus brown water drain point,
Lovely peaceful site and very quiet in the evenings,
Showers were clean and warm although a little slow at busy times,
Easy access to Padstow on foot or car, handy Tesco very nearby,
Only downside was the wind as the site is quite exposed,
Nearly forgot the cockerel crowing before 5am every morning, grrrrr! apart from that it was perfect.

A friendly clean site.
The showers were a bit of a nuisance when others showering as well. The water flow runs to a drizzle. The site goes very quiet at 10pm which is great if you have children.
Tents and Caravans are mixed together, which is lovely. We made friends with our neighbours.
Tesco is a short drive away or short walk along the foothpath from the site. It stocks everything you would need. But be warned it gets very very busy and the carpark gets packed out.
The park and ride is next to Tesco and costs £4 which takes you straight into Padstow.

We are new to camping, so to speak. We have camped lots as children and spent many holidays in France with our family in pre-erected canvas tents so do have experience with living in a tent.
We spent 7 nights on this site in late August 2011.
On arrival we were given a pleasant welcome and check-in was very quick. Pitch was a good size and well maintained. Very little privacy between you and your fellow campers. Some hedges separating you from the rear but nothing to the sides.
We had a deluxe plot and water and electric are close to hand. We found the water to have a very chlorinated taste, even when boiled, so ended up using bottled water from the start!
Facilities on the site are limited. The shop is stocked with all the basics and we found some really tasty local jam and bread but the prices are very steep. Tesco is 3 mins away in the car. Be warned, Tesco gets very very busy at peak times 4-6pm so get in early if you don't want a mental breakdown!
The toilets were our biggest disappointment. We booked the site based on reviews from ukcampsite.co.uk and nearly everyone raved about the toilets being clean and of a high standard. Well, we might be a very fussy family but we thought the toilets were very dated and unless you got in to them straight after a clean, which from our experience was first thing in the morning and last thing at night, they were far from spotless. Being used to France and the way they are constantly cleaning throughout the day we were unimpressed.
Showers were very weak and had those awful push valves which you had to either hold for a contant flow or keep pushing. We wouldn't have minded them if they had lasted longer than 20 seconds!
At peak times the showers competed with each other for the flow and at times nearly stopped!
As we say, we can only go by our French experience and I am sad to say that Padstow Touring Park could put a little more effort in the toilet and shower departments.
Of course, we are inexperienced campers and from what other people say the site is a good example so maybe our expectations were set high?
The price per night was £35 which included a deluxe pitch and EHU which at first appeared to be good value but we think it was over priced and after speaking with my Father, who has over 30 years caravaning experience, he confirmed that better value sights were easily found. We think that we were paying what we coined the 'Padstow Tax' anything in or nearby seemed more expensive than further afield.
The site was pleasant enough but as it is positioned high up on a hill it did suffer with high winds and with very little in the way of trees to screen the site many tents got buffeted.
The other issue we found a little off putting was the Farm next door. We love cows and cockerels in small doses. We both grew up in rural Suffolk, so know what farms sound and smell like but the odour from the cows could be very strong and a little off putting when trying to enjoy a meal Al fresco! Also, if I wanted to be woken at 5 o'clock in the morning by Cockerels crowing and Cows Mooing I would stay on a farm.
The children used the play area but again we felt that it was a half baked affair and no real attention to the little people who would be using it. I would not class this site as family friendly in the sense of facilities for children.
Despite our Niggles we enjoyed our stay and did find the close proximity of Padstow handy but we only visited it a few times, there are equally nice towns all over Cornwall so we will go elsewhere next year and hope to pay less.
Would we return to Padstow Touring Park. No, in short. We met a few people who had returned year after year but we are convinced that there are equal if not better sites in the region offering superior facilities and better value.
