What customers say
This holiday park is highly recommended for its cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff, and excellent facilities, including clean shower blocks and good play areas. Visitors frequently praise the entertainment and the convenient location with easy access to Newquay via a free land train. While many found the site well-maintained with spacious pitches and plenty to do for children, some noted issues with overcrowding during peak times, occasional noise, and limited dog access to indoor areas. Wi-Fi can also be inconsistent.

Good for families, safe, clean, with entertainment, bar and food
Electric grass pitch
Liked Clean site with good amenities.
Disliked Poor phone signal and no WiFi on most pitches despite advertised as having it. Staff a bit ambivalent about it telling me they “could make no promises”. Top touring site very exposed to the wind but 2 bar 4g phone most of the time.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (pet friendly, small)
Liked Amazing holiday park overall, we can't fault it in any way. We went end of October for the half term and it was just brilliant. The location, the facilities, the evening entertainment (the entertainers' energy was brilliant), everything! The staff is very friendly and the shower/toilet is very clean.
Disliked I can't think of anything:)

Electric grass pitch
Liked Good value for money; friendly and helpful staff.
Disliked The addition of cress to every single meal - who has cress with a sausage butty or nachos?
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your nice review. We are pleased that you liked the staff and found the Park value for money. Noted: less cress!
Lovely site very close to Newquay and convenient for buses.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly staff and very helpful. Laundry facilities are excellent. Pizza parlour very nice and reasonably priced. Ideal for bus into Newquay with the stop right outside the complex.
Disliked We originally booked a hard standing pitch but this was very unlevel and we couldn’t even use our self levelling system. Staff however were very helpful and found us a grass pitch that was ok. The weather was awful all week but I know that’s not anything to do with the site.
