Atlantic Reach Resort

Positiv * Friendly Staff: A big thank you to the gentleman who stayed until 7:30 PM to accommodate our late check-in after we were stuck in traffic. Great customer service and very much appreciated.

* Camping Pitch: Spacious, scenic, and well-maintained grass pitch. The electric hook-up was easy to use and everything was in good condition.

* Basic Facilities: Toilet and shower blocks were located a short distance from the pitches. Toilets and showers were reasonably clean.

* Washing-Up Area: Dishwashing facilities were straightforward and functional. Laundry facilities were available - £11 for 18kg wash and £3.50 for dryer.

* Indoor Pool: Quite small and very basic. My child is a keen swimmer, but we chose not to use it due to the lack of appeal for younger kids.

* Gym: One of the better aspects of the site. Modern, clean, and appeared well-used (even by off-site users).

* Location: Newquay is about a 15–20 minute drive. A lovely area, but not walkable unless you’re prepared for a 2-hour each way trip on foot

Negativ Areas for Improvement:

* Shower Changing Space: The changing area in the shower block was extremely limited. Even my toddler struggled with the small space, and it was very hard to keep clean clothes dry despite the shower curtain.

* Family Bathroom Access: Family facilities were locked and appeared to require a RADAR key. There was no information provided about how to access them, which made them essentially unusable.

Main Disappointments:

* Facilities Closed: Despite the website stating that site facilities are open May–September and the park itself remaining open through October, nearly all on-site attractions were closed during our stay at the end of September:
* Mini golf – closed
* Food hut – closed
* Slip & Slide - Closed
* Segway - Closed
* Outdoor pool – expected to be closed (seasonal), no issue

* Pub – opened at 4pm, but was taken over by a loud children’s birthday party with many off-site guests, making it hard to find a peaceful space

* Arcade – extremely dated, felt like it hadn’t been updated since the '90s
* Laser tag – appeared open but again seemed taken over by the birthday party guests

* Playground Safety: Pete’s Pirate Playground had a large approximately 2ft deep hole in the ground where it looked like a tree had been removed and not replaced or made safe. A real concern, especially for families with small children.


The camping facilities themselves were okay, and the staff we spoke to and dealt with were lovely. But beyond that, the site failed to deliver on what was advertised. Most of the key amenities were closed, and there was little to keep a young child entertained on-site. Had we known the majority of facilities would be unavailable despite it still being within the advertised open season, we would have chosen a different site better suited for families.

Positiv Location/cost

Negativ Site was very very tired with very limited maintenance having been carried out. Toilets & showers (fistral field) were old. It said free WiFi but connected to WiFi with “no inter access” so had to pay for tv WiFi via avtex which was really annoying. Pitches we were on was muddy, again with limited maintenance having been done since last occupied

Positiv Swimming facilities were decent

Negativ Put us on a pitch (f12) right next to the slip and slide public car park and it was awful, had music blaring all day and random people walking past the tent constantly. Didn't feel good with two small kids and actually left a day early as a direct consequence of this

Positiv We arrived late and did not see much of the site, so we only used the toilet and shower facilities that were clean.
Would be great value for money staying on site had we used more of the facilities.

Positiv Nothing. We found this park to be very dirty and unloved. The chemical waste area was really bad, not even a water outlet. The waste bin area was dirty and even nappies over the floor. Toilet and shower, use your own. Swimming pool was the only nice thing.

Negativ Motorhome services area. Walking around just is very messy and dirty. This site is not well kept!
