Fabulous location and extremely well kept campsite, very clean everywhere Showers were cleaned throughout the day/early evening (perfect temperature & powerful). Security staff were brilliant. Supermarket is handy. Great facilities, parks, golf, swimming pool , arcades, loads to do. If the weather is good in the evening they have inflatables out for the kids. Fantastic evening entertainment every night for the kids, staff are excellent with dance routines, and competitions, decent prices for the kids and medals given out. Kids and adult bingo (we won £350 on our last night!). Daytime kids clubs are brilliant, same staff as the kids disco so children get used to their faces, they have a lot of time for the children, absolutely lovely friendly people and full of energy. All campers are respectful to each other zero tolerance on noise. Local beaches amazing and worth a trip out. We'll definitely return next year! Thanks Monkey Tree!! :-)

We have always wanted to go to Newquay, Fistral beach and Perranporth. We read the reviews and Monkey Tree and it didn't disappoint. The facilities were great, the staff were all friendly and helpful, even the weather didn't put us off! It rained nearly everyday, but we still had a great family holiday. So much so as we left, we booked our 2024 holiday, for a few extra days as well! Thank you to all the staff for a great holiday and for helping us make some great family memories. See you in 12 months!

Appreciate that this summer hasn't been great for the weather, but the pitches were poor and the service matched that. We stayed at pitch 001, which was a tiny pitch next to the bin and right behind the club house and outdoor entertainment venue. The pitch was effectively a churned up puddle. We asked if we could be moved and were offered 3 alternative pitches. We chose one after checking it and started to pitch, but then got told by the same guy we had to move, so had no choice but to go back to the puddle. The only positives were the cleaning team who kept the toilets clean and tidy and the outdoor pool was nice. Apart from that, everything else was poor. Definitely won't be returning.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear of the issues you had during your stay with the pitches, we have since done a review of our pitches and completed works to improve them. Thanks again for your review.
Nice site but very noisy at night

We had a nice pitch, but it was a little awkward to park the car with how the hedgerows are planted (348). Also, the water access was on our pitch which limited where we could put up the tent. The facilities are all good, although the shower cubicles are a little tight on space, especially if you have a small child with you. The cleaners were always working regularly, making sure they're all clean. The swimming pool is good and our boys loved it, although the coffee bar in there wasn't open, which would have been nice. Entertainment from what we saw was okay, some good singers/bands, but it was too loud for our children. It's quite a loud campsite in general, which is fine, but not really when you've got a lot of children and intoxicated people wondering around until 1am. There doesn't seem to be any security enforcing the 'no loud noise' policy after 10pm around the campsite. I doubt we would book again, but if I did, we would ask for a quieter pitch further away from the facilities. My other half is not really a camper and he was looking for other places to stay on day 1. Another family next to us left after staying for just one night because of the noise. On a positive note, it's a good location just a short drive from Newquay, Perranporth and St Agnes which are all worth a visit. We had a few rainy days, so also went to The Eden project about 40 minutes away. My recommendation would be if you book, buy ear plugs!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Any issues with pitches, our reception team are always happy to help and see if there is a more suitable pitch as an alternative. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the facilities we have here. We do have security on site who regularly patrol the site and their number is provided to you if you need any assistance. We wish for all our guests to enjoy their stays and be considerate of other campers, our team do their best to try and encourage this. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to see you again!

What a beautiful place to visit and when the sun came out it was like being abroad with the sun loungers around the amazing pool. (Deep enough to swim in). For younger children the outside play area and soft play was great and the entertainment staff were very fun and sweet with them. The outside bar was warm despite the cold weather and entertaining for families. Ideal location for many beaches just 10 minutes away. Do the pirate golf in Newquay if you really want to laugh. A few areas to improve: Sell magazines and newspapers in the shop as the local shop is far away, a few sofas in the main bar area to relax in would be great for when the weather is too cold for outside the swimming pool, (maybe get rid of the extra 2p machines inside the bar as there are plenty in the arcade), a menu for drinks would be helpful, (only 1 cocktail available) and more training for some of the bar staff. An extra pool table would be good for the older children. Wi-Fi not great.

Loved the park Lots to do for all the family and the food was brilliant. Shop well stocked and the pool was lovely. Facilities were being constantly cleaned. But where the park was so busy, they were constantly grimy, and I think more toilets and showers are needed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the activities we have here. It is unfortunate when some of our guests are not considerate of others in our toilet/shower blocks. Our cleaning team work tirelessly to try keep these clean for all our guests. Thanks again for your review, we hope to see you again!

Lovely week's stay at this large campsite, perfect for children as there's lots to do there. Clean and tidy and beautifully displayed with flowers. Has a great dog walking area around the park which is kept clean and tidy too. Close to Newquay and other beaches. Only slight annoyance was that you can't drink alcohol round the pool (which was understandable but would have been nice) and that it's credit card only in most areas. Overall, lovely place and would stay here again 👍🏼😊

Not so great stay

It was a good stay but we were put in a pitch that is 10 minutes from the amenities. I have to take the car or the stroller to get there. The prices are super high in the supermarket, the toilets and showers were never clean when I used them. The only good part was the pool and the games club.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear you had a disappointing stay with us. We do have a category of pitches that might have been a bit better suited for yourself these are called our close to facilities electric grass pitches, I would suggest to book one of these if you were to visit us again. We do find our prices to be inline with the local supermarkets, we work hard to ensure that prices are kept reasonable in our convenience store. We are a little surprised to hear the toilets and showers weren't cleaned during your stay we have checked our logs and they have been signed to say they have been cleaned at least every 2 hours. We have struggled this year with our toilet and shower blocks with guests not being considerate of others. Reception are always happy to help if issues are reported to them. We are pleased to hear you liked the other facilities we have on park. Thanks again for your feedback, we are always looking at ways in which we can improve.

We spent 3 nights at this lovely campsite and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. From the pitch to the facilities, everything was very good. Our granddaughter loved the swimming pool, soft play and adventure playground and had a lot of fun in the arcade too. We have been to a few different sites in Cornwall over the years and this for us was the best by far, and already look forward to going back.

Absolutely brilliant. Was on my own with 4 little ones but felt so safe on site. Toilets and showers were so, so clean. Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Really close to beautiful beaches. The pool was amazing. We went in-between school holidays, so it was a free for all, which was brilliant. Kids have been abroad many times, yet they said this was the best holiday ever. Thank you Monkey Tree - We will definitely come again.

We stayed here in June after booking last minute and can't wait to go back! The location is brilliantly central. The site itself is beautiful and spacious. The shower blocks were spotless and the staff were there, all the time cleaning. The pool was amazing! Plenty of lifeguards and sun beds. Felt like being abroad! The club house had the usual entertainment but the food was lovely! The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced. The park was perfect, couldn't keep the kids away! We played golf and that was great fun, honestly no faults. Have recommended to all our friends and will certainly be booking again!

Fantastic park and most staff were brilliant, especially the bar and entertainment staff. When we arrived on the Sat everything was open but because a lot of people left on the Sunday, loads of things then shut - shops, crazy golf, and the club house. Real shame as it could be brilliant. If you go with kids then go in holiday time. If you are a couple like us, go to use it as a base or go if you like a busy kid filled place.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. In the quieter times of the year a couple of our facilities get closed, this being the pool bar, summer nights bar, pizzeria and chip shop. The pool, crazy golf and clubhouse all remain open, the shop is on shorter opening times during this time. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to see you again!

The park facilities such as the play park and eateries were clean and the food was good. Staff were approachable and friendly and would go out of their way to help. However, if camping the toilet and shower facilities let the place down massively. Only three toilets and two showers for a full field of people. Regular queues for both sometimes up to 15 people deep for the showers. One shower didn't work properly either and was just a trickle. Far more needed for the number of campers the site holds. A really dog friendly site, however we didn't get the rule of no dogs in the club house after 6pm (they were allowed in all day however). The remaining parts of the site was all accessible.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and the facilities we have here. I believe you are referring to one of our smaller blocks; we do have another one a short distance away which is bigger and are currently in the process of building two more. We hope the shower was reported so we could get it fixed. Thanks again for your feedback we hope to see you again!

Very amazing place! From Monday to Friday, it was amicable and comfortable! Only on Friday, when the camp was packed due to the holiday, everything changed! All facilities were busy, the toilets were not very clean and a few staff working to cope with the demand!

We had a lovely stay at Monkey Tree, staying for 9 nights over the Easter weekend. The staff and entertainment team were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of activities for the children to do. The Easter egg hunt was great. The only negative I have is that the pool boiler was broke and we had no email ahead of arriving to tell us this, so we couldn't use it and when it was "fixed" after a week. We went in and my children lasted not even 5 mins as it was so cold! We payed for the local pool in the end in Newquay which had slides so it didn't affect us too much, just would have been nice to of known prior as it was a last minute booking, so we probable would have gone somewhere different for that reason. I do think the entertainment venue is quite small for the big capacity of the park. However, we would go back as it is a lovely site and the location is excellent. Great value for money too.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are please to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. We are sorry to hear you visited us while our pool boiler was broken and you were not informed prior to arrival. Unfortunately, this happened last minute and we were hoping we could get it fixed so our guests could still use it, however the temperature plummeted quite drastically over one night while we were waiting for parts. Thanks again for your feedback, we hope to see you again!
