Part of our memories forever!

We have been visiting the site as a family for around 15 years and have stayed at the site for 2 weeks on at least 10 occasions. It is a very well kept site with lovely coastal views and when the weather's fine you can see the most breathtaking sunset over Wheal Coats from the cliffs opposite. It is within east reach of Perranporth for bodyboarding with the kids or the pubs and restaurants of St Agnes which is a little more up market and less busy. Over the years our children have met many others who holiday there year on year and haven't missed the facilities. There are a lot of older people on the park but most families who visit have always been sensible and respectful and there has been very little disharmony over the years. The beach at St Agnes is also worth a stroll and a big uphill hike on the way back will get the circulation going. There is a pub and a bar at the beach to enjoy a G&T whilst watching the surfers. We find it relaxing and beautiful. There is no playground for kids and no showers or wash area so your caravan facilities need to be good. Chapel porth and porthtowan beaches are within a 30 min and hours' walk and are well worth a visit. Newquay is 30 minutes by car. Our kids are in their late teens so we had one last family holiday this year as due to COVID they had no other choice! They enjoyed it much more than they thought they would. Next year we'll still visit as a couple and can't recommend it highly enough. If you want relaxation with plenty of life within reach, St Agnes Beacon is the place to go!

Good and Bad

Good: Wardens, Viv and her husband were lovely. Waste points clean and tidy. Some pitches had nice views of the coast. Coastal walks. Peace and quiet. Price! No facilities make this great value for money. Bad: Access road is very narrow with a few passing places. Even in the car it can be difficult to navigate through so we were worried all the time about leaving the site and meeting another vehicle in onw of the two extremely narrow parts. One will face a long reverse. WIFI is very poor in our pitch (29). Speeding cars, very few were adhering to the 5MPH limit. At the bottom end this is dangerous. Peoples kids were using the circuit as a mini race track for their bikes. There is no play park so they had little else to do i guess. No toilet block, surprised these days that there are any sites without facilities. 2 weeks of emptying the loo becomes a drag. But it keeps the price down! Having only stayed at Trewthelet Farm previously I think we were spoiled - We missed the amazing views, the toilet block and the access to more things to do. St Agnes is not really near anywhere. Redruth is about the closest. On the whole for what you get I think id have booked a CL.

Perfect in so many ways!

Apart from the “frosty Long standing site wardens” we Love this site. It is in a very beautiful location with lots of walks and close to St Agnes and the beaches and spectacular views. The lack of facilities works in its favour and keeps lots of folk away - but personally this is a bonus. Very crowded in the central grass area so aim for an “edge” pitch and bear in mind that having a view at this site could spell danger when the wind picks up - as often it does on a near cliff-top site! CAMC needs to review it’s No Tent policy though, as quite normal now to rock up in a small “camper” with an enormous “Awning” (Tent to the less knowledgeable) And then sprawl out wind breaks and chairs. Otherwise, a site to be recommended :)

Beautiful location with great staff.

Beautiful location with stunning views out to sea and on the other side to the Beacon. Perfect place for a morning coffee. A lovely evening stroll - approx 30-45 mins, around the Beacon to the lovely village of St Agnes where there are a few pubs with good food. I would recommend The Peterville Inn where we had amazing sea food sat outside in the sunshine. If you want to go further afield - there are some beautiful walks around St Agnes Heritage Coast and the SW coast path. The site itself is very tidy and well looked after, with plenty of disposal and refilling facilities. There is no shower or toilet block. We arrived later than most others (mid afternoon) so most pitches were taken, but the owners were very helpful as we tried to find a less inclined pitch (we don't have the biggest of ramps.) Such friendly staff really made the stay more enjoyable.

Great site with Great Views

This is a great site, with amazing views out to sea. Our pitch was not particularly level and even the ramps made little impact. Nicely spaced apart so you don't feel on top of each other. No facilities at this site so the impact of the covid restrictions were limited. Fish & Chip van visits the site, but take the time on the board to be an approximation only. The site does suffer from sea mist, so it can look miserable in the mornings, but step off the site and you will soon be out of the mist and into the sunshine. There is a new tea room just up the road from the site, (turn right out of gate) and this is well worth a visit. Tip: Download the iwalk cornwall app and you can download a walk along the coastal path from Chapel Porth to St Agnes. It tells you where to go and even bleeps at you if you go the wrong way.

As good as ever!

We have been visiting this site for over 30 years and it is as good as ever. Probably the fullest, no doubt due to covid-19, that we have ever seen it. Nonetheless it is perfect for the beach, coastal walks and St.Agnes. Wardens were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Aways worth a visit.

What a shame

Wonderful views and great walks from the site along the coast path. Disappointing attitudes of the wardens meant that we have never been so keen to leave a site before.

Great views

Lovely caravan site overlooking Chapel Porth and the tin mines, great for walking although challenging in places, steep parts down to the beach and down to Trevanaunce bay, can also walk to Porthtowan which takes about 45min. The site itself is quite big but still pretty peaceful and great pitches, some with better views than others. I would personally say great site for adults, not much for kids to do on site and quite a walk to the beach for younger ones which is why I only starred 3 for families. The wardens were very friendly as well, we will definitely be coming back.

Happy together

We didn't see the sea.......

Unfortunately we hit a very wet week for our stay here and only really saw the view from the website photos! On the plus side the wardens must be the one of the most friendly teams on the network - still smiling through torrential rain and the laundry room with tumble drier was an unexpected bonus. Sadly we will probably not return due to the rather miserable dog 'scuttle' on site. It really cannot be called a dog walk. Sites which have really spacious dog exercise areas are a real plus when the weather is foul.There is, of course, plenty of space nearby but letting a dog off on the precipitate coast path is always risky.

Just Perfect!

St Agnes Beacon is just perfect for us. This has been our second visit and won't be our last. The location couldn't be better. Fantastic views over the sea. Fabulous walks along the cliffs down to an old tin mine and on to Chapel Porth- our favourite beach. There are further walks along the beach at low tide as well as continuing along the coastal path on the cliffs. Another lovely walk is up to the Beacon itself with more stunning views. We continued down Into St Agnes itself;a lovely little village with its own museum and excellent micro brewery as well pubs, restaurants and delightful bakery. St Ives, Truro, Falmouth and Penzance are all within easy driving distance. The site itself is beautifully maintained and has the friendliest wardens we have met. For us this feels like a big CL, and that's a good thing! Hopefully the lack of shower blocks and toilets will put some people off coming so we can get back again!😊
