Very big site

A really big site, and pitches not huge. However, we found a decent one, but it was probably a ten minute walk to the reception! What is good is the bus service - plenty of buses from a bus stop right outside the site. Although there is parking in Looe it does get quite full in the day, so we went to Looe and Polperro on the bus - a very good service. We didn't use the swimming pool, so can't comment on that. Good showers and toilet facilities, and we also used the laundry which was very efficient. Overall a decent site.

Not bad but not good either

We stayed here for a week in the summer and it was very busy. Nice site though you can only see the sea from one area at the bottom section from a handful of hard standing pitches. This is not a quiet site and if you want peace don’t bother. We don’t mind too much. Staff very friendly, clean loos and showers and decent shop. Bus stop right outside for travelling to places like Saltash and Plymouth. There is a holiday park next to it with a pub and bar that is open to all. It takes six minutes to walk down the road to it. Looe Bay Holiday Park. Dog walk area is okay but very busy so could rarely let our dog offlead. Lots of dogs here. We tried to book a service pitch but glad there were none available as they are right opposite a big children’s play area and the noise is constant. Even though we have three children with us that would drive us nuts. Our children are older so this play area no longer interests them. However they did like the mini golf and tennis. As for the pitches, very few are level and you will need levelling blocks and your steadies will be fully extended as well. We were on hard standing and our pitch was level but access very steep so getting in and out was a challenge. The road between pitches was very narrow so having a mover is, we would say, essential here. As for the pool as one of our children put it, that’s not heated and if it is it must be with a candle! Having said that good to have a pool. There are restrictions though as in the amount of people who can be in the pool and you may have to wait at least half an hour for entry. This happened twice to us. Clearly at the height of the season the pool is too small for the site. Connection to the outside world is of course a must these days & that's where this site let you down. 1stly the wifi (that you pay for) was advertised as bronze which only allows really basic internet & email or 2 bars of 4G on plus net for mobile signal that you also pay for. Or if I you want super fast & free WiFi go to the site next door (happily allows C&MC members) that also has the benefit of a bar & food - it's a Parkdene premier resort literally 5 mins away We would come back here however it wouldn’t be a regular haunt.

short or Long Stay

A good site for a short or long stay, we stayed for 3 nights and used the local buses to get around they are quite frequent and were always on time. An easy walk downhill into Looe but our preferred route back was by bus. The swimming pool was exceptionally clean, well maintained and supervised at all times. All the facilities met our expectations of a Club Site.

1st Visit and will be Back!

Our first visit to this lovely site. We were lucky to get a level hard standing pitch but unfortunately without the splendid view of the bay between the trees. It seems the grass pitches had more of a pleasant surrounding (aside of the play area - great for families but not for those who wish to be away from it all). Also, it's a shame that the service pitches seem to face onto the play area, considering it costs more for the facility I'd be pretty upset that I had to look out onto that vast caging area as a viewpoint. The pool looked lovely but I didn't try it out, however a fellow member had tried it and said it was lovely and warm. Our pitch, we found later was backed onto a static caravan site and there was a considerable amount of swearing -not that I'm a non-swearer - but it was a bit off-putting, with loud music at times and bumping of the base music in the distance. This tended to be in the evening. Shopping, if you need a good shop, it means going out a way although Looe has a co-op and a spar to get you by. The site shop didn't have much at all, other sites I've been to have had a good selection this shop seemed sparse to say the least. The staff however, great, friendly and very welcoming. That all said, we enjoyed our stay and would love to return. It would be nice if a few hardstandings were in the grass area at some point. Lots rabbits about! Watch out for them.

Got busy and rules too relaxed

Lovely, large site, with good shower blocks, small shop and an information room. We've been here when there was a set of workers run by a strict command, a few years ago. Could be annoying when the rules were adhered to, to sometimes an unnecessary level, like banging on the door during a storm, demanding we pay by an exact time when they could've waited for the storm to pass, when we extended. However, it was very efficiently run and the workers were conspicuous and always seemed to be on their toes working. The current management appears to be very laid back. Even letting people in to find pitches, not long after 11, which is disruptive when others are trying to leave. And not so restful when they all pile in early.... Speed levels on site are not enforced. Some going 20+mph the wrong way! Although most respect speed limits and one way signs. Children are here at the beginning of July - perhaps throwing sickies. And one night there was a group of kids running around everywhere, with huge water guns, shouting and noisy at 10pm. No warden in sight. And we don't feel they are checking properly. One example is there was a white transit van with sliding door, no fittings inside and a tent/awning on the side, on a grass pitch, masquerading as a motorhome! That is not ok, regarding the club rules, as far as we're aware, and yet wasn't checked or noticed, clearly. That said, it is more peaceful, than when staff were constantly on mowers or strimming, or driving around checking. But no sight of staff other than cleaning the blocks and emptying bins quickly, We don't feel quite so secure as we did here before. That said, the toilets are extremely clean. They don't seem to start cleaning before the time allocated, unlike some sites, where you're left in the shower getting ready and cleaning taking place before stipulated. The pool is lovely, the wardens friendly and generally helpful. Only thing is it seems particularly busy this year, maybe due to the great weather. Access to Looe is good via bus, but expensive for 2 returns. But it dues stop outside tbe site in season. It's on the whole a good site. Many of the pitches, including hard standings, are not level, so need wedges etc to raise. Improvements could be made to level the hard standings. The motorhome service area needs updating as the facilities are arduous to use, as they require precise lining up as well as being slow flowing taps.

Excellent staff.

Facilities very good and enjoyed using the site pool and crazy-golf. What sets the site apart from other club sites is the staff who were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful to myself and my husband who's mobility is not 100%. It looks like the site might get very busy during school holiday time, so bear this in mind when booking. The bus service into Looe is excellent for motorhomers, but pricey for the 3 mile trip (£4.20 return). Probably cheaper and more reliable than the car-park in Looe though, which had a 'car-park full' sign displayed each time we visited. Great fish and chips on the Harbourside of Looe, and all manner of pubs and restaurants in the town. Buses running until past eleven at night so you can have an evening out and get the bus back. Recommended.

A great Place to Stay

We had a lovely few days at the Looe Caravan Club Site. We booked it as a stop over after returning from France and didn't look at the facilities. What a surprise to find we had a swimming pool. It was fully heated which was better than the one we had in France. The grass pitches are sloping so we were lucky enough to get a hard-standing pitch. They are very popular so try to get there early if you want one. The wardens were very friendly and helpful. The site was spotlessly clean. We are definitely looking to go back again.

Delightful but be aware....

We have used this wonderful site many times, usually April - June & September and have not had the problem with children that other Members appear to have had. I believe that having a swimming pool, beautiful as it is, is the main problem and does attract families with children. I do agree that the serviced pitches are not in the best of locations and we have stopped using them. Dogs on the site have not been a problem to us. The site is beautifully kept by the Wardens, all credit to them. My only gripe is positioning of the service points and Chemical Toilet Emptying Points which can be some distance from some pitches and sometimes up steps! Perhaps the Club could look at having Adult Only Sites?

Shame They Weren't Ready

We arrived on the first Saturday of the half term week and were told half the site wasn't ready as they hadn't yet put out the pitch marker numbers which forced everyone onto hard standings (which we hate) and in close proximity to everyone else.....this took nearly a week for them to finish. Our other issue was the way one of the staff spoke to friends of ours who were also staying. Their booking system had misfired and had them checking out a day earlier than they had booked through the club website....their confirmation email was correct. This meant they had been under charged at entry. This member of staff came round and snapped 'you're supposed to be gone!'. The site could not produce any evidence of what they had paid, and our friends had lost the receipt, yet they were still asked to pay the extra £50 odd for the additional night on faith alone. No offer of meeting them halfway or anything, just a demand for payment. Then then they were made to feel like the site was doing them a favour as if they corrected it on the system it would charge them more. Won't be staying here again.
