Must be a great place if you are camping with children, September was nice and quiet, so we had all the space and peace we could dream of.
Toilet facilities were spacious and good, with a few handy wet rooms including shower, toilet, basin (and baby changing platform) all in one room. Hairdryers are free! Good natural lighting and other lighting, nice mirrors everywhere. Not the absolutely cleanest ever, but nothing so bad that I wanted turn away.
Handy washing up rooms too with nice hot water.
Just the water pressure everywhere is so high you get soaking wet for washing your hands if you're not careful. I think they could address this one easily - and save water at the same time.
The shop is handy. We were disappointed to find it stocking no good-quality local produce, like fresh butter, clotted cream, wholegrain bread, vegetables from neighbouring farms. But maybe these are just not in demand.
Food at the Diner was totally totally awful, I am sorry to say. Overpriced to start with, and beyond disappointing. I skipped the hamburgers (because they are normally a risk) and asked for a hot dog in stead. Had they used a normal old vienna hot dog from a jar I would have been ok, but in stead it was some awful breakfast-like sausage cooked from frozen served on a roll - just that, no ketchup, no mustard. And the roll was sliced right through, so the sausage wouldn't even stay on. LOL
Nice walks from the campsite. You could walk all the way to pretty Looe in half an hour. There also are a few really gorgeous Coastal Paths around.
The park is dog friendly and provides ample exercising space.
Great campsite with fantastic facilities. The toilets and shower block were fairly new and no queuing as there were plenty of them. Also spacious cubicles and well stocked.
Staff were very helpful - we weren't too keen on the pitch we had originally been allocated but they were more than happy for us to move.
Nice level site, we have a sea view from our pitch and down on the bottom tiers where we were, it's fairly private as you only have neighbours either side and not in front and behind.
Enjoyed visiting Looe, plenty of boat trips to go on and some beautiful fresh fish.
All in all a lovely location and a really friendly well kept site.
Cost of the site worked out to £37 a night. I booked a large pitch which to be honest just managed to squeeze the caravan awning and car on no room for a seating area. Pitches extremely crammed in together.
We stayed in a caravan but wouldn't camp there the pitches are even smaller and all generally on a slope. Outdoor pool closed all holiday asked staff who stated that it had been open.
All in all very disappointing would never go back.
Great camp-site, just outside of the village and Looe has a little bit of everything.
Not over expensive and very clean with good toilet and shower blocks. We only live in Plymouth so this is just down the road and great for an overnighter.
We would recommend this site we travelled with 2 other families, had adjoining pitches and 1 of our party had just had a leg operation so they put us near the toilet block so he could enjoy his stay.
There was quite a few of us going, my in laws in a sunbeam 2 bedroom caravan, it was fantastic, brand new and was immaculate. The rest of us, my eldest son and his girlfriend, my sister and her husband and 2 children 16 and 11, and myself, husband 3 children 20, 14 and 14, were camping virgins, we had been to the area before over the years but never to Tencreek, we found the site brilliant.
The staff were helpful, the shower blocks were clean, the laundry room was good enough, the entertainment did just that entertained, we all got into trying to win the bingo. We found the site itself quiet and safe. The only thing that did make me feel uncomfortable was the children playing on the dog park, but this was down to them selves not the staff. There was loads of children playing on the park and no trouble. The children all loved the pool and spent a lot of time there.
We did the walk to Polperro, it was really lovely but what a killer. Only 4 of us managed it back, thank goodness for the bus. We also did the walk to Looe, this was a fantastic walk, would never take the car again. We are already looking to book again for new year. Would definitely recommend this site to anyone.
We stayed in a small bottom budget static which in my opinion was extremely good value. It cost us £320 for Spring Bank Holiday week where as you're looking at £500-£600 at other sites. As far as I could tell this is an independent site. We booked through Hoseasons but isn't run by them.
The evening entertainment is quite basic but we weren't looking for anything fancy. The kids entertainment ran from 7.30-8.30 which we liked as it meant we could 'escape' by 8.30 rather than hanging about. (Other sites like this often have bingo first at the kids stuff don't start til 8.30). It did often have further kids stuff from 9.30pm but our children are young enough not to care once we'd said we were leaving after Deano the Dolphin leaves.
There was a children's play area on site which was fine and within the statics so not within view of the touring field. I'd say the play area and entertainment is really aimed at under 10s and certainly not teens. I think that's why the place was so quiet.
Most children were very young as opposed to loud teenagers. The site was virtually empty during the day - even the swimming pool. Speaking of which it would be good if the life guards made sure the holiday makers kept to the rules. There was a big poster on the wall with pool rules - no jumping, no pushing, no bombing, no running. One particular family were doing all of the above and launching themselves at full speed into the pool with no regard for whoever (child or adult) who they crashed into when hitting the water. Neither of the two life guards muttered a word.
After myself and my 5yr old had been knocked several times by one or other of this family we decided it was safer to get out.
There is also a paddling pool for under 8s which, again was full of over 8s. The main pool was so deep my 7 yr old (who is just learning to swim)couldn't reach the floor and so she had to go in the paddling pool as we never take arm bands for her as she is learning to swim. What with the depth and the unsavoury family, we never re-visited the pool again.
As I said, we stayed in a static was was fantastic with fab views. However, we checked out the touring field and we're pretty sure we wouldn't stay here. EHUs were really cramped together and I think the grass pitches would be too if there were two large tents next to each other. There also seemed to be lots of seasonal pitches with grass growing to great lengths around these caravans and even moss growing over some of them. Think they've been there for years.
All in all, the touring field appeared to be very grotty and not very well looked after.
Having said that, there was a brand new toilet/shower block which we also checked out. This was immaculate with loads of toilets and showers including family ones which had a shower, toilet and baby change table with harness all in one room.
It was a shame the actual pitches were as shabby as they were as I would have definitely camped here otherwise.
The location is perfect (in our opinion). There is a lovely walk down to Talland Bay (which our 5 and 7 yr olds managed perfectly). It was a trek getting back up to the campsite but our two were fine with it. Talland Bay is gorgeous with a little cafe and toilets.
The view from the hillside at Talland Bay was also something you mustn't miss out on. Especially in the evening. The sunsets are to die for.
Would we go back? Yes definitely in a static - not in a tent/tourer unless they made the pitches bigger and spruced the place up a bit (ie asked the seasonal people to clean up their vans and just generally kept the place a bit nicer).
We stayed here for 1 night and it was awful!Toilets are a disgrace, had to hunt for a clean cubicle. It was in the quiet season so why don't they close off some of the toilets instead of not being bothered to clean them?
The shower floors were filthy. They also charge full price but at a cut price service.
Charged £17. We don't pay this in cornwall during the summer.
On arriving we were impressed by the friendly staff, but that's where it stopped the site is awful, dirty, not suitable for a nice relaxing evening. We paid £29.50 drove round the site and off to the Caravan Club Site in Looe. We couldn't actually find the sea view we had paid for, and we were told to park in an area that looked like an old tip they had filled in!
Having just left Dornafield to meet some friends here was a shock to the system.
The toilet block looks like and probably is a concrete prefab with all the council style chrome sinks and showers etc.
We were at the top of the field surrounded by seasonal vans which weren't well looked after and looked very scruffy.
Our friends were in a tent at the bottom, at least they had a nice view, once the fog lifted!
Even our children, 9 and 4 disliked this site!
The exit road is unbelievably narrow, we don't have a large van but both sides were touching the hedgerow.
This site is also very expensive, I expected a lot better for £30 per night, their website is very deceptive. The shop is expensive as is the clubhouse.
