What customers say
This is a large, well-equipped site with friendly staff and a range of activities for families, including swimming pools and playgrounds. Pitches are generally spacious and clean. However, several reviews mention dated or poorly maintained facilities, particularly shower blocks, and some experienced noise issues. Booking for pools can be difficult.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Clean enough just don’t eat there
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Our toilets were clean at all times
Disliked Road ways are a pain to walk on, pitches are very uneven ours had a huge slope c43 pitch so sleeping in a tent wasn’t good. Shop prices over inflated, ‘pub’ wasn’t good either sticky tables and food was sub par. Didn’t try the swimming as was fully booked inside at all times

Electric grass touring pitch (large)
Liked Definitely not the staff welcome staff in front office road arrogant quite up themselves as for the outdoor pole disgusting floating debris no filtration leaves dead bugs spoke to an owner who said they have this all the time sight don't care
Disliked As above all the above is correct loads of complaints against this firm useless don't go there use your money wisely done spend it there on the last day had no water to a service pitch because of some sort of thought but the slipping slide had plenty of water because I was taking thousands of pounds

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your stay, including the pools and water supply on your pitch, did not meet your expectations.
For clarity, the Slip & Slide runs on a separate water system, which is why it remained open while other facilities were affected. We take all guest feedback seriously and use it to identify areas where we need to improve our facilities and service. We regret that your experience was disappointing and appreciate your comments.
Site could be cleaner and things need fixing.
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked Lovely outdoors space, soft play nice and clean and staff in leisure centre friendly
Disliked Outdoor pool cold and dirty. Shower block needed cleaning more often. Broken pipe under sink at washing up station. Didnt see any maintenance people and wasn’t fixed in the 8 nights we was there. Amusements need up dating. Couldn’t get a slot for the indoor pool.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great spacious pitches, very accommodating as we were away with friends so we wanted to be pitched together. great parks for the kids, pub on site was very nice and friendly, used outdoor pool, and mini golf. Also used the slip and slide which was very fun. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great location to explore Cornwall
Disliked Water stopped working several times whilst we were there, which ment we weren’t able to use the showers when we wanted too.
Outdoor pool looks green, but it looks like the floor, and the shack by the pool was closed and looked very run down.

We hope you still had a fun and memorable stay with your family!
OK, good size pitches, but wouldn’t choose again.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Camping pitch good size and electric hook up as standard which was unexpected. Quiet family camping (mostly), lots of paid activities (we did not use this), not too far from Newquay. Leisure centre quite well maintained.
Disliked Games room which was very old, run down and half of the machines were not working as they should. The water stopped working altogether in the ladies toilet/shower blocks on two separate days which was really frustrating, shower floor in the men’s block was spongey and water damaged. Couldn’t really go swimming as the indoor pool was booked up majority of the time. Outdoor pool we chose not to go in as it did not look very clean, photos looked nice online but definitely was not as in the photos. Facilities definitely need updating unfortunately.

Dirty, dated and not worth the money we paid.
Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked The only thing we liked were the pitch size
Disliked Very dirty/dated showers and toilets
Outdoor pool was shocking, we booked to go before arriving. When we got there, we walked straight back out. It was full of dead bugs, leaves, looked like it hadn't been cleaned all year.
The indoor pool wasn't much better. No cubicles to get changed, pool water was cloudy, we lasted 10 minutes once we had hairs wrapping around are fingers as we swam that was our sign to get out.
None of the pools have life guards.
The arcades, we're also dated and most of them took your money and didn't work.
No entertainment.
The shop wasn't great.
The few staff we dealt with weren't very friendly.
We paid for a fully serviced touring pitch but was without water from around 7pm till 10.30am the following day. No updates on when it would be back on when we asked the staff trying to fix it, we were just told it happens this time of year. Not good when you pay for fully serviced.
The rest of the site we can't really comment on. After what we experienced we didn't bothered looking around the rest, we spent ours day off site.
When you look forward to your holiday all year and arrive to a site in that condition it's very disappointing.
Would not return and would not recommend.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The pitch was a good size, people were friendly stayed in the Crantock field and the toilets and shower facilities were really modern, clean and tidy. Used the indoor pool which was nice when it was raining. There’s lots of other stuff to do their so great for the kids.
Disliked The pitches are slightly sloped but that’s just nit picking

Friendly atmosphere. Large pitches great atmosphere. Recommended
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked Taken to our pitch and explained about the size of the pitch etc
Excellent size pitches with electric point and drinking water very close by.
Toilets and showers were clean and tidy.
They laundry facilities behind the toilet block and washing up facilities
Heated indoor pool. Book early it fills up quickly. There is an outdoor pool but I heard it was very cold.
Staff were friendly and helpful. There is a pub onsite and entertainment.
Local co-op is very close with parking and other supermarkets nearby.
Disliked The only thing I can say is read the literature they give you. We had only seen the hut that sells ice cream drinks etc and the office but didn't realise there is a shop on-site until we looked at the literature.
I would suggest they give you a list of key points on this huge site.
Other than that everything was really good.
