About the site
This award-winning touring park is just four miles north of Newquay and ten miles south of Padstow. Located on the B3276 coast road, you'll be surrounded by beautiful countryside designated by the National Trust as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Most importantly, it's only a 20 minutes walk from the glorious beach of Watergate Bay, great for sunbathing and swimming! The park's spacious pitches consist of non-electric pitches, 10 amp electric pitches, 16 amp electric pitches and super pitches, which are equipped with a 16 amp electric supply and mains water/drainage point. Each pitch is approximately 9 metres x 9 metres. There are also extra-large 16 amp Premium electric pitches measuring approximately 9 metres deep by 12 metres across. For those looking to turn up and have a hassle-free home there are comfy pods. These sleep either two or four with heating and electricity supplied. Inside each are a proper double bed and the family pods add a set of bunk beds, plus the extra luxury of a microwave, toaster, mini hot plate and mini-fridge. This campsite is an AA 5 pennant graded park, a David Bellamy Gold Award park, a Visit England 4 star park, and a Green Tourism Silver Award park.

Loved the site but proximity to the airport is unbelievably close. On Tuesday, there were 15 planes taking off, civil and military, right above our heads which was not conducive to relaxation. Planes were taking off and landing on the other days, but not as bad as Tuesday. The only saving grace was that there was no flight noise at night. Also, the electric situation is quite off putting. All this is a pity as the site itself is lovely, with pleasant and helpful staff, The jury is out if we would stop again ☹️
Site's response
Hi. Unfortunately the airport, even though appears busy, normally isn't. The 15 planes your witnessed were not anywhere near that figure. There are normally only 2 - 4 flights a day but what happens from time to time is pilot training at the airport, as it is a quiet airport and one plane flies in a circle and practices landings and taking off, but it is just 1 plane. You may also have been unlucky as the military plane you saw was just the same aircraft again training the pilots, but the military planes very rarely visit here to do that. Can I ask if you had a problem with the electric connection as I am not aware of any problem? Unfortunately the powers that be will be enforcing electric meters for all campsites over the next couple of years as they do not want businesses making money on re-selling electric to customers. The only way that is achievable is to meter every pitch and people pay only for what they use. We believe that this is the fairest way as it is not fair for low users to be subsidising the higher users. As this is the first year we have used this system, we have given a very high amount of electric within the pitch fee, so only very high users will be paying extra for their electric. From next year, the site fees will be cheaper as no electric will be included within the pitch fee and everyone will pay for what they use. For 70-80% of people, this will mean their holiday costs will be cheaper as they will not be subsiding the very high electric users which I'm sure everyone will agree, is the fairest way to do it. I hope you will try us again in the future as like you said, the site enjoys a great reputation for its location, cleanliness, and extremely helpful and friendly staff and atmosphere.

Very nice site. Clean all around and well set out. Facilities are clean and well kept. We turned up late but it wasn't a problem the site let us in the know of what to do.
