Disappointed to be charged £24 for 2x dogs. No dog walk area on site. Gents WC not great, would benefit from a urinal area. Showers, although a 20p surcharge, were good and very spacious. Good bar area and outside seating and clearly a great site for kids. No service point for touring motorhomes - but we were told this is something that is on the agenda. Good shop and decent site staff.

Site was quite large, a lot of different things to do for kids. The toilet facilities weren't too great - missing toilet paper, taps not working. The worst thing was the shower - boiling water, kids were crying because it was so hot! The good thing was evening entertainment for kids - the girls who were leading this were really good and could get the kids involved! In general, we probably won't be back.
Great week away

Lovely location, really close to a great beach. Club house provided great entertainment for the kids and adults. Nice to have a restaurant and chippy with the facilities and a fairly well stocked shop. Toilets and showers need some attention as lots of doors had no locks and toilets need cleaning more regularly.
Not amazing

Nice location. Evening entertainment was mainly pretty good. The pitches are very crammed together. Facilities are filthy and run down. Very noisy site.
Great site and location

Really enjoyed our week at Harlyn Sands, it's a great campsite with lots to do in the local area, the beach is stunning with clear sea. Swimming pool onsite was great for our kids. Only thing that was annoying was the small shower block (that had big queues at busy times) and having to pay 20p for a 3 min shower, but with spending a whole week there, that was my only moan. If you are thinking of visiting Cornwall then this is a great place, we will be returning again.

Great campsite, only let down by unclean toilets and showers facilities. The location is perfect for the beach and Padstow is not far.
Good

The location of this site is excellent from the point of view of being close to a beautiful beach. However, the nearest bus stop is a mile away, along narrow lanes with no footpath. The pitches were a bit too close for comfort, but well-maintained. The entertainment was not good the night we were there - the band were incredibly loud and a bit niche. However, that might just be that we are in our sixties and did not know the music!
Great site, with some suggestions

The location to the beach is the only reason we would return. The site facilities are very dated compared to others in the area. The water supply is an absolute joke. A bathroom tap with a push and hold top is not acceptable but luckily we managed to cobble together a method of connection which was still ridiculously slow and unacceptable. We were told every campsite in Cornwall has this but feel this is not true, as we had just left another site which had water on each pitch with a proper tap. There is only water in certain areas and not on every pitch. No prior notice of this. There is no Wi-Fi only if you pay and can only use it at the club house. The shop is very limited you have to pay 20p for a short shower if you need to use them. Toilets old fashioned. The food at the site was very poor. This site needs some money spending on it to bring it up to date.
Wonderful location

Absolutely wonderful location. My only complaint is the water taps to fill my van with is a bathroom push down tap, so you have to fill the van with a watering can. This could be easily rectified with an outside tap that vans can connect to with a hose fill up and then disconnect and make life a little easier.
Nice location, friendly staff

We liked this campsite. Perfect for the coast and for the Eden Project. The staff were incredibly welcoming. We marked it down because we felt £5 per child per 1.5 hour time slot for the pool was excessive pricing. Particularly when we didn't think the toilets were checked in the pool and there was mess on the door. It was also an additional 20p to have a warm shower (the pool showers were cold only). We also felt that the general toilets need a more frequent cleaning inspection. There was often excess toilet paper on the floor (an unintended consequence of the toilet roll being at the front of the toilet block rather than in individual stalls - looks like people left the excess paper that they took). Also, 20p for a three minute shower. You could incorporate it into your overheads and keep a timer on it. Everyone wins.
