  • Cornwall holiday park with beach access five minutes’ drive from Hayle
  • A 20-minute drive from Tate St Ives
  • Bar, bistro and shop on site, plus a play park and heated indoor pool
Private access to a three-mile sandy beach sound tempting? That's the fabulous feature you’ll get at St Ives Bay Holiday Park, set on sand dunes five minutes’ drive from Hayle in Cornwall. If you’re all piling in for a family holiday, you can spend days building sandcastles, running around on the beach with the kids and cooling off in the sea. Travelling as a couple? You’ll have spectacular sea views across St Ives Bay and you’re almost guaranteed colourful sunsets as a backdrop for romantic twilight strolls on the sand. And when kicking back and enjoying the views is not quite enough for you (and, let’s face it, the kids will want more), how about crazy golf, tennis or the amusement arcades? You can burn off more energy at the surf school or in the heated indoor swimming pool, and there are play areas scattered around the park to wear the kids out properly. With all this going on, make sure you leave time to unwind for a drink at the terrace bar with superb views over the bay and a menu of small, tapas-style snacks – there’s entertainment in the evenings too. Or you may like to make a night of it with the family over a freshly prepared meal at Sands Bistro? Forgotten an important ingredient or need milk for your morning cuppa? There’s a well-stocked independent shop on site that stocks all the essentials, including your daily newspaper.

Liked: The campsite is lovely, spacious pitches , and great views ! The shower blocks are basic, but very clean, with nice hot showers !
The shop is well stocked and not expensive!
The burrows are amazing for dog walks and the beach is stunning !!
Sands bistro is lovely for a nice cold pint with lovely staff .

Disliked: The food in Sands Bistro is not great !
Breakfast , the sausages had no browning whatsoever, also very herby. The mushrooms had a very odd flavour and were dried out , and didn't even get the tomatoe ! The rest was ok .
Ceaser salad was ok , but paid £3.50 for added chicken and had 3 small cubes !!
Overall the standard wasn't worth the money paid !

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Beautiful location and park very close to the sea.

Disliked: The food in the Dynamo bar was overpriced and poor standard £33 for a portion of fries, a portion of katsu fries and 2 drinks, left the food as the cooking oil must have been ancient and tasted foul the katsu chicken was chopped up chicken nuggets in a sauce needless to say did not go back. The site however was lovely so would stay again just take your own food.
