About the site


Nestled along the stunning Cornish coastline, this Padstow holiday park provides an ideal destination for family holidays. Whether you want to just unwind and let the little ones make friends in the onsite kids club, or you want to spend your days relaxing on the beach or splashing in the swimming pool, the site offers it all. For tents, motorhomes and caravans, the site offers two types of electric grass pitches, each allowing up to six guests. The regular Family Park pitches measure 9m square with a 6 amp hook up, whilst the Premium Family Park pitches measure around 10.5m square with a 10 amp hook up. The holiday park is kitted out for everything you may need for your stay. From an onsite restaurant, clubhouse, bar and shop, to kid's entertainment and a play park, there is plenty to keep everyone busy. Being within walking distance of the beach and only 15 minutes from the popular town of Padstow, there is plenty to explore nearby too. There are also over 300 static caravans onsite, some are available for guests and others are privately owned. Four-legged friends are also welcome to join you for your stay, with up to two allowed per pitch for a small fee. Evenings can be spent cooking up a BBQ, as long as they are not on the grass.

Harlyn Sands Holiday Park is open from 29/03 to 31/10.

Filthy facilities and really rude reception

Large Tent - Family Park Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

Unfortunately, my review is not great. The toilets and showers were absolutely dismal. Firstly not enough, secondly really dirty and smelly. Toilets do not flush and most showers are a pathetic drizzle despite having to pay extra to shower. The drains reek too. The cleaning staff decide to close off half the toilets when there aren't enough as is in an attempt to make their life easy. Reception lady with shoulder length blonde hair was extremely rude and even closes reception early when I wanted to address the toilets being closed off. She completely ignored me as if I wasn't there. Rude is an understatement and I am actually very angry with such service. On the flip side, the entertainment staff were great a food in dinner good, when the kitchen bothers to open that is. For what we paid, this was not great and facilities very disappointing.

Motorhome - Family Park Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

Site location was fine, nerves of steel needed navigating the road outside, especially if you have large MT or caravan (single lane for about 400 metres). Lovely receptionists, allowed to pitch earlier than normal. Maintenance men were helpful, we borrowed their tools. Fab location, beach 2 mins away and lovely/clean beach area. Toilets and wash basins were clean as was the dish washing area. Didn't mind paying 20p for showers, however, quite a few were off limits due to the lack of water or water pressure (dribble of water). Wouldn't have filled an teacup in the 4 mins you get. One of the workers was locking the unusable showers and came across quite abrupt when we asked how long the showers were going to be unusable for - probably been asked that question quite a bit, but a friendly acknowledgement would have been nice. Didn't use the entertainment area or diner through choice, but the chip shop was good value for money and we were served by friendly young lady. Only real complaint not directed at the site/staff, it's directed at the customer who let their dog do their business by the wall near the showers, totally not acceptable as there are people walking, kids on bikes and toddlers about - pick up your mess! My hubby is happy to stay again, however, I want to explore all of Cornwall.

Medium Tent - Family Park Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

Was disappointed with friendliness of some staff, especially at reception & shop. Cost of some items at shop twice the cost of nearby shops. Bins way too far, especially as I had to take my child each time to discard of rubbish, which was convenient but had to be done as bird ripped open any bins left outside. Many things broken or just not working, like locks, tiles. Tents way too close to each other - the list can go on!

Things to do on site and in the Padstow area

If you want to venture off site, there is plenty to see and do. A 15 minute walk will take you down to Boat Bay Beach, a hidden sandy shore with a sheltered bay for swimming, tucked away from busy crowds.

A trip into Padstow (15 minutes) is also a must. Made famous for its stunning seafood, charming harbour and delicious eateries, the town is full of cornish charm. Dine at Rich Stein's fish and chip shop, wander the charming streets lined with independent boutiques and be sure to grab a pasty for the way home!

The surfer's paradise of Newquay is also 30 minutes away. Home to the Blue Reef Aquarium Newquay, Newquay Zoo and Pirate's Quest Adventure Golf, the town is great for kids.

Other nearby attractions include:

  • Treyarnon Bay (10 minutes)
  • National Trust - Carnewas at Bedruthan (15 minutes)
  • Camel Creek Family Theme Park (20 minutes)
  • Mawgan Porth Beach (20 minutes)
  • Lappa Valley (35 minutes)
