Campervan Visit May 2018

Friendly wardens who were very welcoming and helpful with advice about choosing an appropriate pitch which gave us a glorious view. Some pitches could be difficult for levelling a motorhome. Handwash laundry facility a bonus. Easy access to walking both to Coast Path and the Beacon. We can recommend the high quality local butcher who visited on a Monday evening and noted the Fish & Chip van visited twice a week. Not to be missed is the Driftwood Spars Brewery at Trevaunce Cove, although it's a steep walk back up the road with your bottles!

Favourite location.

Just returned from this site. We never get tired of it, if you get the weather there is no where on earth I'd rather be. The walk to Portreath and Perranporth are on your door step. This is Cornish mining district, and if you want to explore this there are lots of sites to visit. Since Poldark (which was filmed at Botallack mine) the interest has grown, fascinating think how industrial this area was then. Value for money, peace and quiet, fantastic views, abundance of wildlife, immaculately kept, friendly wardens, oh and the chip van comes Monday and Saturday. What more can you ask for.

Lovely Site

Stayed in June on this site. The site is well maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The ground is a little uneven in places and you may need blocks. Some pitches have a great view of the sea and coastline. The coastal paths are a short walk away with exceptional scenery. The only improvement to the site would be toilets and showers. Would stay here again if in the area.

Great Base

We stay at this site in August for 4 nights, we found it a good base to stay whilst touring the surrounding area. The Gribbons

Cornish Cream!

What a lovely site with fabulous access to coastal path walks and walks on Saint Agnes beacon. Chaple Porth Beach is a 20min walk or 3 min drive, but make sure you check out the tides for this beach, it's small, perfectly formed at high water and stunningly beautiful golden sand and low water. The WIFI on site it's a bit of a letdown, a good signal can only be obtained when sat on the bench or in the laundry room area. NB: looks are not everything! because of the very strong winds that come off the cliffs onto the site from Porthtowan direction it's wise to have a sheltered pitch further back on the site, apart from that it's another great site for the club.

A real little gem in a gorgeous location

What a lovely, well maintained site! It was just what we wanted: peace and quiet, stunning sea views from our pitch, fantastic walking opportunities and lovely, friendly staff. What more could you want for a holiday for two adults and a dog.

Ticks The Boxes

We stayed at this site so that we could visit friends who have a seasonal pitch here - otherwise, we probably wouldn't have chosen the site and certainly not in August. The site is clean and tidy and the wardens are very friendly and helpful. All pitches are grass - some level, some uneven, some with a sea view, some easy to get onto and others rather more tricky!! There are several seasonal pitches and because of the time of year, it felt very busy and packed in - I didn't enjoy it. No toilet block (not a problem for us but you'd be amazed how many people turned up expecting there to be one) but there are washing machines. The weather can be very unpredictable being by the sea and when the wind blows - it blows! If you are putting up an awning make sure you've got additional anchorage. However, when it is clear, you cannot deny that the views are glorious. Plenty of walking from site either along the coastal path or up onto the Beacon. Lots of lovely beaches in the area but of course, if you've got dogs, many are not accessible at this time of the year. Not one of my favourite sites but I suppose it depends what you're looking for.

Excellent site but dog owners please read

This is a really nice site, well looked after but we did have our fair share of wind and rain which seemed to be as it was on the beacon. I would just like to let dog owners know to beware of ticks, we did not have our dog with us as he passed a few weeks before we had our holiday so we do know what ticks are. However we did leave a woolen picnic blanket in the awning one night without a ground sheet down and when we went to use it the next day we found quite a few dead ticks which we had to pick off with tweezers, they obviously failed to get any blood out of it. This by no way suggests it is the sites fault as the grass was kept well every day. I hope this warning is taken in good faith as intented so dog owners are aware to check their dogs regulary.

Great Location, ideal for coastal walking

Loved it here. Quiet and peaceful. Views over the sea, coastal, cliff top walks to St Agnes, Trevaunance Cove, Chapel Porth etc. Walks up and around the Beacon. No shower/toilet block facilities other than Laundry/Info room but but no problem - we just used our own and price pn reflects this. Pizza and Fish & Chips vans weekly which was a nice surprise. Daily newspapers can be ordered. Friendly, helpful wardens. Ideal for dog owners - perhaps not so much for children.

Another Excellent Visit

St Agnes is our favourite site on the whole network. We are a family and love the space the site has for our children to safely explore. The facilities are just right for us! The location is what makes this site. The view alone is worth double the pitch fee especially as we are able to pitch facing it. Some days you are able to see St Ives but be warned that the mist comes off the sea meaning you sometimes miss the view. Our recommendation is to go to the Skate Park at Mounthawke on a wet day. The childrens sessions are £5 for the whole morning. Also make sure you check out the caves at Chapel Porth when the tide is low, they are amazing. The seasonal club members are really helpful and friendly, letting you into the secrets of the area. If you are travelling to Cornwall, plan well. Try to avoid the Saturday arrival/departure. We are booked again for the summer
