  • Cornwall holiday park with beach access five minutes’ drive from Hayle
  • A 20-minute drive from Tate St Ives
  • Bar, bistro and shop on site, plus a play park and heated indoor pool
Private access to a three-mile sandy beach sound tempting? That's the fabulous feature you’ll get at St Ives Bay Holiday Park, set on sand dunes five minutes’ drive from Hayle in Cornwall. If you’re all piling in for a family holiday, you can spend days building sandcastles, running around on the beach with the kids and cooling off in the sea. Travelling as a couple? You’ll have spectacular sea views across St Ives Bay and you’re almost guaranteed colourful sunsets as a backdrop for romantic twilight strolls on the sand. And when kicking back and enjoying the views is not quite enough for you (and, let’s face it, the kids will want more), how about crazy golf, tennis or the amusement arcades? You can burn off more energy at the surf school or in the heated indoor swimming pool, and there are play areas scattered around the park to wear the kids out properly. With all this going on, make sure you leave time to unwind for a drink at the terrace bar with superb views over the bay and a menu of small, tapas-style snacks – there’s entertainment in the evenings too. Or you may like to make a night of it with the family over a freshly prepared meal at Sands Bistro? Forgotten an important ingredient or need milk for your morning cuppa? There’s a well-stocked independent shop on site that stocks all the essentials, including your daily newspaper.

Liked Grandios, gefühlt mitten in den Dünen.

Disliked Die Sanitären Anlagen, insbesondere die Duschen, waren schmutzig. Und ohne Ablagefläche, nur ein Haken in der Kabine.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Beach bar nice -lovely views overlooking the bay, friendly staff and nice food - quick service
Local taxi drivers helpful and friendly

Disliked Overpriced for the service and quality in our opinion.
For £100 per night, we had no allocated pitch meaning our 4 vehicles which we had pre booked together could not all be sited next to each other. In addition, if we wanted to go anywhere in our motorhome or camper during the day, this left our pitch free for someone else to then take.
Staff didn’t seem helpful on arrival just said first come first served !
Toilets very basic and lacked cleanliness - we would have welcomed something to be able to wash the shower floors before use as these were dirty.
Some clientele questionable, families nearby shouting, arguing and swearing loudly at each other , glad we were only on this site for 3 nights

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely spacious pitches, decent toilets/showers/washing up facilities.
Gorgeous location with the beach and so close to shops, and Hayle and Camborne.
Kids enjoyed the entertainment, and the pool (be prepared to have to wait when it’s busy though! They’ll give you bands for the next session if it’s full)
Nice atmosphere on the site, and all quiet by about 10pm, so great with the kids

Disliked The tent site has gravel paths throughout, which did spread over the pitches too, so make sure you clear this before you pitch your tent.
The bathroom blocks could have done with more frequent cleaning. Also, the showers were very very hot and couldn’t be adjusted. This wasn’t ideal when showering our young children. Had to fill cups of water and let them cool to rinse their hair etc.
We visited the Sands bistro for lunch one day and found the service really slow. 45 min wait for mains, and had to go and find someone to ask for the kids desserts to come out, and it was then another 20 mins or so. It wasn’t particularly busy at this time, and we had very hangry kids after swimming, so wasn’t ideal!
Also used the laundrette once, and accidentally put my token into a machine which was out of service, but wasn’t labelled as such. Reception did replace the token when I asked, but this was a small inconvenience.
