One of the best!

This is definitely in our top three sites. Probably because the location is so wonderful with only a quick walk to the beach, albeit all uphill on the way back. There are no facilities which we obviously knew before we booked but I think it’s the better for it. It’s no bother to use your onboard facilities, it makes you more mindful of water usage😁. It is just a field really but the glorious weather and wonderful location made our whole break just perfect. We did get a list of pitches that were available but that’s because it had been raining the previous week and some were very wet. We were told we could pick any if we wanted and we did, our chocks did sink in a bit but all was fine. Finally, although our site information told us that dogs weren’t allowed on Chapel Porth beach and so did the signs in the car park of the beach itself, there were lots and lots of dogs on the beach. The National Trust staff members that were in the car park office didn’t seem to mind. If I’d known, we could have taken ours but chose not to bring him on the break for that reason.

Disappointing, despite the great location

Great location, peaceful and brilliant views from most of the site. However, given the Covid-19 situation, the site felt overcrowded, especially compared to other CMC and commercial sites. The list of available pitches we were given to choose from on arrival seemed incomplete. Other, flatter, pitches were definitely available. Another motorhome which arrived after us insisted on using one of these empty level pitches and was not asked to move. It is far easier to level a caravan than a motorhome! It's bad enough having to pay the same for a smaller pitch, without being offered the worst pitches too. I was also extremely disappointed to see that some CMC members are willing to visit a less expensive CMC site with no facilities and then to walk to the 5* commercial site next door to use their showers. Shame on you. Wardens should tell people this is not allowed.

Beautiful views and walks

This site had some beautiful views although can be windy. Lovely walks with the south West coast path close by. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on the nearest beaches as they are national trust, which was disappointing. Nice site.

Our first visit - impressed!

Great site with a friendly and helpful welcome from the 'holiday-cover' wardens Jan and Steve. Sloping pitches yes but that means you can get clearer views of the coastline. Spectacular sunsets and great walks, lovely beach nearby. Quiet, very clean & tidy... couldn't fault our first experience of a CAMC site.

Cracking Site

Had a fantastic week in Cornwall at the beginning of August. Not sure what the previous reviewer meant by the attitude of the wardens. They were lovely and couldn't have bee more helpful, even pointing me to possibly the best view pitch on the site! Cracking site, albeit rather windy!

Just perfect

First visit and certainly won't be our last. Location is stunning with fantastic coastal walks. The view from the site is great too. Wardens very friendly and kept the site in tip top condition. Fish and chip van visits site and great little coffee shop 5 mins walk away that sells cream teas, coffee, cake and delicious ice cream.

Part of our memories forever!

We have been visiting the site as a family for around 15 years and have stayed at the site for 2 weeks on at least 10 occasions. It is a very well kept site with lovely coastal views and when the weather's fine you can see the most breathtaking sunset over Wheal Coats from the cliffs opposite. It is within east reach of Perranporth for bodyboarding with the kids or the pubs and restaurants of St Agnes which is a little more up market and less busy. Over the years our children have met many others who holiday there year on year and haven't missed the facilities. There are a lot of older people on the park but most families who visit have always been sensible and respectful and there has been very little disharmony over the years. The beach at St Agnes is also worth a stroll and a big uphill hike on the way back will get the circulation going. There is a pub and a bar at the beach to enjoy a G&T whilst watching the surfers. We find it relaxing and beautiful. There is no playground for kids and no showers or wash area so your caravan facilities need to be good. Chapel porth and porthtowan beaches are within a 30 min and hours' walk and are well worth a visit. Newquay is 30 minutes by car. Our kids are in their late teens so we had one last family holiday this year as due to COVID they had no other choice! They enjoyed it much more than they thought they would. Next year we'll still visit as a couple and can't recommend it highly enough. If you want relaxation with plenty of life within reach, St Agnes Beacon is the place to go!

Good and Bad

Good: Wardens, Viv and her husband were lovely. Waste points clean and tidy. Some pitches had nice views of the coast. Coastal walks. Peace and quiet. Price! No facilities make this great value for money. Bad: Access road is very narrow with a few passing places. Even in the car it can be difficult to navigate through so we were worried all the time about leaving the site and meeting another vehicle in onw of the two extremely narrow parts. One will face a long reverse. WIFI is very poor in our pitch (29). Speeding cars, very few were adhering to the 5MPH limit. At the bottom end this is dangerous. Peoples kids were using the circuit as a mini race track for their bikes. There is no play park so they had little else to do i guess. No toilet block, surprised these days that there are any sites without facilities. 2 weeks of emptying the loo becomes a drag. But it keeps the price down! Having only stayed at Trewthelet Farm previously I think we were spoiled - We missed the amazing views, the toilet block and the access to more things to do. St Agnes is not really near anywhere. Redruth is about the closest. On the whole for what you get I think id have booked a CL.

Perfect in so many ways!

Apart from the “frosty Long standing site wardens” we Love this site. It is in a very beautiful location with lots of walks and close to St Agnes and the beaches and spectacular views. The lack of facilities works in its favour and keeps lots of folk away - but personally this is a bonus. Very crowded in the central grass area so aim for an “edge” pitch and bear in mind that having a view at this site could spell danger when the wind picks up - as often it does on a near cliff-top site! CAMC needs to review it’s No Tent policy though, as quite normal now to rock up in a small “camper” with an enormous “Awning” (Tent to the less knowledgeable) And then sprawl out wind breaks and chairs. Otherwise, a site to be recommended :)
