Parbola Holiday Park Reviews

Lovely stay

The campsite was in a beautiful area surrounded by trees. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. There were plenty of places one could visit from the site. The only downside was the daily visit of the cesspit tanker. Good place to stay for a few days, we did enjoy the stay.

Amazing

Amazing camp. Staff are second to none. We had a problem with our tent where all our pillows got sodden. We chatted about this with the staff and she offered to tumble-dry our pillows. What service. Camp was clean to a high standard, facilities were excellent and staff above and beyond. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for all your commitment to the campsite. Your care is clearly visible.

Parbola campsite review

Lovely campsite. Clean and with lovely staff. Not much around site, no pubs so had to drive places, but only 20 minutes to beaches. Pizzas were lovely too 👍🏼

Great site

Great site and great staff. Very welcoming. Only thing that let it down was the camping shower blocks. Not a great design as clothes got wet and shower heads could do with replacing with maybe positional heads.

Great place to stay for families

Great place to stay. Ideally located for various beaches in every direction. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

Great family stay

We stayed here for 10 nights with our 2 kids and 2 dogs, we had a great stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the facilities were always kept clean. Pizza nights and the crepe van in the mornings were a nice a treat! The kids loved the swimming pool. Overall, I'm happy we choose to stay with Parbola Holiday Park and would recommend. Thank you!

Parbola

A great quiet location and the perfect get away.

Brilliant site

This was our second visit to Parbola. We had a wonderful week here a couple of years ago and loved the site so much we decided to return. Excellent location with easy access to differences parts of West Cornwall. Staff are all incredibly helpful and just all round lovely. Site is kept immaculately clean. Toilets and showers were generally spotless in spite of the site being close to sandy beaches and having its own well used pool. There are lots of different pitch options. We chose non-electric so had masses of space on the wild field, even though our tent is huge. Loved getting fresh milk, chilled filtered water and croissants from the on-site shop in the morning. Would definitely come again!

Our August family break

Lovely site, very friendly staff. Nice pool, small shop onsite catered for essentials that you may run out of or had forgotten. Horse box bar. Definitely worth a break here and I know we would certainly return.

Lovely site and good value

Very clean and well maintained site. Easy to find using the printed directions. Friendly welcome and everything explained clearly. Very good value for money. Excellent dog walk and beautiful swimming pool area. Didn't use the toilets or showers, so can't comment on that. The shop stocked the necessary bits and pieces and there was even a small bar area. A good children's playground and crazy golf, plus outdoor table tennis and badminton. Good location off the A30 for the bottom of Cornwall. Would definitely recommend and return.

Amazing!

This place is amazing, I can't recommend it enough. It's very peaceful but also has plenty of facilities to keep the kids happy.

Great campsite

The campsite was lovely and very spacious. The pitch we had was great, with space even with the tent up. We had plenty of room to have an extra set up outside. The pool was lovely. We both loved the crazy golf, and we liked the fact it was free and you could play for as long and as many times as you like. The park was nice for family visiting. The toilets and showers were nice and clean, although the showers could do with being more up to date, they were okay for a quick wash. The staff on site were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again next year.

Great campsite but need to make showers hot!

All lovely. Staff on the desk lovely. Excellent location! Loved the woodland environment, crazy golf, safari tent entertainment area, shop, and especially the pool! Improvement needed around the pool, like sun loungers and parasols/tables to be put out nicely. The biggest thing is that the showers are lukewarm at best! When camping, especially in our climate, the most important thing is a hot shower! The single hairdryer again, not hot, not quite fit for purpose. Please, please sort these couple things, and then it would be 10/10! My daughter wouldn't shower again after the first time, as not an enjoyable experience.

Camping

Overall, very clean. The staff were brilliant and very friendly. Pool was a good size and clean. We stayed on pitch G19 and had plenty of space. The kids absolutely loved it and the play area. The toy library is a great idea. Didn't get great weather but still loved it. We will 100% be back next year and we are gutted to be back home already. Thanks to the staff - Scott.

Great campsite

Fabulous campsite with very friendly, hardworking staff. This was our first time camping as a family of 5 and we were extremely impressed at what Parbola had to offer. We can not wait to book again for next year.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so pleased you had a super time! Come back and see us again soon!

Great campsite

We had a lovely time even though it rained. The pitches were extremely well marked out and enough space for 2 families to camp with ease. The staff were brilliant nothing was too much trouble, camping in the woods was a brilliant experience for both of my kids. The park was great the dog exercise pen is a great idea, the heated pool was just also great. The only down side to the campsite are the shower/toilet blocks definitely need to be refurbished/updated and the drinking water point could of been a little closer to our pitch, but overall a brilliant experience

So glad you had a super time! Thank you so much for taking the time to review our park.

Great quirky campsite

Great campsite set in amongst the woodlands, really liked the look of it as we drove through, staff were really friendly, great facilities, especially liked the borrow box, thought that was a nice touch! If I had say anything negative it would be that the site could have done with an extra toilet/wash up block at the bottom of the site!

Thank you for taking the time to review our park, are so pleased you had a good stay. Yes its a bit of a walk from the wild field to the amenities, but on the plus side you do have more room as there is plenty of space in that field. Thanks for your comments and come back and see us again soon!

Very happy

Excellent park. Staff were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Music night was a highlight. Perfect holiday for a wind down. Rained most days but still enjoyed it. Would happily stay again.

Great campsite

A great campsite, the pool was really good and the site is so lovely surrounded by trees. Really peaceful and well looked after.. the bar safari tent was great for a charge and to have place to go out of the rain. Great site. The only thing I would like is of the the location was close to a pub to go to for tea.

Thank you for reviewing our park, we are glad you enjoyed yourselves. We can recommend Trevaskis Farm Restaurant which is just 5 minutes drive. It has local fresh produce and a restaurant which serves food all day from breakfast to dinner!

Beautifully kept.

From the moment you arrive it is spotlessly clean and the grounds are immaculate. We stayed on pitch G6 which was a perfect location for all the amenities and not too close to the children's play area (adult travellers). Our pitch was completely flat with no dips, holes or even a stone, it was heaven. I didn't roll out of bed or kneel on a stone once! The staff were always helpful and friendly. The pool was a nice temperature. The toilets were great as some had sinks in the cubicles which is always a handy bonus, especially for us girlies. Our only complaint was the plumbing and shower facilities. There are no benches, the floors are a tiled wet room/cubicle so after your shower there's anywhere dry to step. Fine in the summer as we weren't wearing long trousers or socks but I can imagine it would be difficult in the winter to get dressed without getting everything wet. Also only one shower actually worked. There are 3 (ladies) and two of them were dribbles that ran next to the wall. Very difficult to wash long hair and shave legs. The other was a stream of water so better but aimed right at the curtain and off to the side slightly. Not ideal. Oh and they had those stupid push power buttons that don't run for very long so spent most of my shower cold while shaving etc. I wish sites would trust us to turn a tap on and off and control our own water temperature. Sometimes I don't want a red hot shower when it's 20 degrees outside. Same push buttons on the sinks. Cold water was a dribble and the hot was so powerful you got sprayed with red hot water. So plumbing was not great and needs updating, but enough toilets and showers for the site. Went end of July and didn't queue once. Overall a fantastic stay. Gorgeous site and great facilities.

Woodland delight

If you are looking for peace and tranquility to rest and recharge then this is the place. Nestled in a woodland glade surrounded by nature, it is picturesque. The site communicated food availability via WhatsApp so you don't miss out. The amenities in the woodland could do with some updating, hot water wasn't available there on occasion, but was fixed on the day. Very clean, staff are friendly and helpful. 5 stars from us.

Cornwall camping holiday

I can say that this campsite was very pretty and had large pitches. The swimming pool was nice, quite warm for outside. Toilets were great, with the option of private cubicles with a toilet and sink. I would say though that putting a couple without children next to a huge family was not great. I think there were about seven children. Maybe consider why people go in September, out of season? Had great sized freezers for ice blocks. I understand they are adding lodges, great if they will be cheap. The shop was small, but we didn't need anything. They also have a great way to reduce plastic, such as a water machine and loan out body boards etc. I would recommend a stay here, but maybe consider putting adults only away from families.
