We have just got back from an 11 night break here with our two boys aged 8 and 11. We knew there was no toilet and shower block but having to find a site with availability at short notice in the middle of the school holidays, we weren't spoiled for choice. However, we coped admirably with having to be entirely self-sufficient. Okay, so the toilet was emptied every day and the washroom of a Bailey Ranger 6-berth isn't really equipped for showering - think using a hand held hose in a bin bag then wallowing around in two inches of standing water until you dry the floor by hand and you sort of have the picture. The site itself is beautiful; plenty of pitches to choose from including a central open field and then several culverts set back from the road. Some of them are a bit tight and we wouldn't have been able to fit our single axle van on them. There's no children's play area or field and this suited us fine - ours are old enough now to do without and we made the most of the walks from the site. St Agnes Beacon offers beautiful views and you can walk over the top and then into the village. Turn left out of the site and then a few metres down the road on the right is the footpath to the old mine ruins on the cliff. Stunning sunsets from here and amazing views up the coast. St Agnes has everything you need and we tried to do as much of the shopping as we could in the local shops. The local beaches are all a short drive away - Trevaunance Cove you can park on one of the residential streets at the top and then walk down the public footpath. It is a steep climb back up however. Chapel Porth is beautiful and we watched the Atlantic Storm send up some huge waves, from a safe distance of course! The wardens were very friendly, even opening the office when we arrived as Sue just happened to be walking past. We'd had a nine hour drive so was grateful for this. A part-time warden was there as respite for a few days and he was really friendly and very busy too tidying up the site. You do have to be careful on Beacon Drive; it is narrow and busy. If you adhere to the site request not to arrive before 12 noon and make sure you vacate by 12 noon it should work better but there are still large vehicles on the road that make it tricky but don't let this put you off using this beautiful site. At half the price of a commercial site we usually stay at in St Ives, we will definitely be returning.
