We Booked To Return While Staying On The Site

The title of this review should tell you all you need to know about my opinion of the site. The location is fantastic and its proximity to Chapel Porth Cove is perfect. I tend to prefer CL sites and in my opinion, this site feels like a large CL. The wardens were lovely and very helpful, the pitch we chose was great and to cap it all the weather was mostly fantastic; I'm going to speak to the CAMC about the odd rainy day we had and make it clear they need to work on this... The road in is a little tight in places, like many sites in Cornwall, but absolutely no problem. There are plenty of walks along stunning cliff tops, consistently good surf coming in at the cove and bass to be caught in front of the most amazing backdrop, what a combination! If you enjoy days out, the central location of this site puts so much of Cornwall's best within easy reach, yet its secluded position makes for quiet peaceful evenings. This site has gone straight into my little black book of gems.

Idyllic location

Just returned from a short stay here in our caravan with our dog, WOW what a location, spectacular walks in every direction. Would highly recommend to anyone who is after a peaceful stay with incredible views and walks right on your doorstep. Locally St Agnes is a beautiful village with plenty for you to do, see and eat without being touristy. Basic but very clean and tidy site with really helpful staff who even offered to park my caravan for me as we didn't have a 4x4 and with the ground being soft we didn't want to risk getting stuck. Access was easy, single track road for a mile or two but with lots of passing points. Although the site was busy we managed to find our own little corner which was really quiet, do be aware that not all pitches have a sea view, it's first come, first serve so get there early! Oh and don't forget your levelling chocks, almost all pitches are slightly sloped. We were so lucky with the weather but I am sure that even on the worst of days it is still beautiful 😍 Thanks for a fabulous stay!

Peace and Quiet

Stayed here 2nd-18th July for the first time . Access road, once you leave the main roads was a bit tricky as very narrow and only just able to get through in places - beware of wandering pedestrians who don’t know what side of the road they should be walking on ! Had a choice of quite a few pitches - most are on a slope so suggest bringing aids to level your outfit and as in our case to raise the jockey wheel quite high . Nice view out to sea . Water , waste and chemical disposal dotted around site - never far to walk . Laundry room with two washing machines and two tumble dryers ( token only) . W/ Machine 4 tokens = £4 and T/ Dryer 1 token = £1 = 15 mins . Dog and bike wash area next to laundry . Fish and chip van comes to site on Fridays and Mondays and a mobile butcher on Mondays. Wheat Coates tea room over the road for sandwiches, cake cream tea etc. Short walk into St Agnes with butcher, baker, post office, cash point, pub, deli etc . Walk to Chapel Porth along coastal path is a nice walk and there is a small cafe on the beach - lovely beach when tide goes out . Had a lovely stay here - only downside and not the sites fault was the first week where we had biblical amounts of rain and a few annoying people hell bent on walking straight through your pitch . Definitely worth the money

An absolute gem…shhhh!

The location is fantastic if you like awesome sea views & an open rural location. The approach roads might be challenging for some larger outfits or less confident drivers…. Plan your route with care. The site is a no facilities site which is perfect for us as we prefer to use our own, we only wish the Caravan & Motorhome Club had more of these sites. Modern caravans & motorhomes have great facilities that we pay handsomely for & as the site was full it suggests that there is a demand for such sites. The wardens were very pleasant & well organised. We were phoned on the day of our arrival to warn us that a period of heavy rain had created some challenges in siting outfits. It is a site we will return to.

The cream of Cornwall

First time staying at this lovely site, far better than I expected. The site is sort of tiered and sloping but so worth it for the views. The wardens were always helpful, happy and cheerful. The site was spotless never mind the weather. The only thing I did not like was the access road, but that is me. Our caravan is 8ft wide and I think the lane was 8ft 6” in a couple of places. But we had no problems with anything we met except for a cyclist who thought they owned the whole lane, yes we waited patiently with a caravan in tow! We were booked in for 6 nights but luckily we were able to extend to 14, wow one wonderful sight ina fantastic location with walks around/up/across the beacon with 360 degree views.

I won't tell you how good it is or I won't be able to go back easily!

Of all the sites we have visited belonging to the club and others, this was by far our best experience with lots to do within walking distance (the town, coastal walks and beaches) and lots of other places within short driving distances too. We thought the CC site at Tintagel was good but this is even better (but we better not tell anyone or there won't be any space when we want to return - which we will definitely do!). The views of the sea and across to St Ives was beautiful and to see the sun disappearing from your outfit or outside when the weather was good, was a bonus! Viv in particular and her husband were exceptional and so helpful that enabled us to make the most of our stay. It was such a pleasure to be assisted with the guidance for the best pitches and things to do. They are really wonderful ambassadors and smiley too! BTW, the site sells Magnum Classics; what more could you want.

Stayed here recently ...............

to meet up with family who we hadnt seen for 6 months! Wardens are very friendly and helpful. Site grounds were immaculate (Sanitary units closed). We live locally so often visit the Beacon and coastal path for walks but enjoyed an enjoyable walk to the lovely village of St Agnes for a drink and evening meal. We will definitely stay again when we need a relaxing few days and enjoyable walks!! Could become a favourite 5 miles from home!!

Good as ever!

We have been visiting this site for over 30 years and it is as good as ever. Virtually unchanged and the same can be said for the views, walks and coast. On this occasion relief wardens were keeping the site in perfect order and initially with a friendly welcome and subsequent smiles. It may not have a toilet block but don't let that put you of visiting.

Views and walks

This is a lovely site in a great location. The pitches all seem pretty level and most have a glimpse if not a full view of the sea and coast. The joy of this site is the access to the coast path and you can walk in both directions from Wheal Coates. Also a short walk up to the Beacon and down across the moor. Chapel Porth is good for the beach and icecream. Also very good parking that I think is free to National Trust members. A drive over waste water point for motorhomes is a real bonus on a site without facilities. The winds were very high during our stay but if you can stand to be without a full view of the sea, there are tucked away areas that offer some shelter. Very welcoming wardens and the fish and chip van served really good and freshly cooked food. Nice ice cream from the wardens shop too.

Fresh Air

Fresh air and lots of it due to strong winds but a lovely spot to stay and enjoy the coast. The site was quiet but the farm next door had some more than usual noisy bovine occupants and some building work being done. Some pitch pegs are not so easy to work out and the pitching can feel quite crowded when things are busy. Beware the strength of the coastal winds that can take awnings down easily as witnessed during this stay, we've lost ours previously. The cafe at beautiful Chapel Porth is worth the walk, spot the Giant Bolster's footprint on the way. 😊
