Tollgate Farm Caravan and Camping Park Reviews

Long walk to beach and restaurant

If you have any mobility issues or can't use public transport then please look for something closer.

Site's response

Thank you for the review. I think "it's a long walk" really depends on the person walking, you can walk to the beach or town in 15 minutes. In fact, I do it in less than that most days to the beach with my dogs, but I do walk fast. Perranporth Golf Club's clubhouse is about 5 minutes walk away and is very welcoming to non members if you want a drink, food or just want a break from the walk. We have two buses an hour past our gates that can take you to and from Perranporth, Newquay, Truro and Falmouth, as well as lots of other stops on the way. Alternatively, Perranporth has loads of car parks, all within a 2 minute drive, with a flat easy walk to the beach/town. Thanks again and hope to see you again soon.

Great site

Great site, very clean and tidy, not far from anything. Would highly recommend this site.

Friendly

Lovely, clean, friendly site. Lovely walks on your door step, not just for us, our four legged fur babies enjoyed it too.

Lovely friendly campsite, very dog friendly

We stayed here in a rented campervan for the first 2 nights of a week long trip. We arrived after hours so met the warden, who confirmed our pitch details. Luckily we were close to the reception and amenity block, so we didn't have to manoeuvre too much in the dark. The site location is good - at the top of the hill as you enter Perranporth, it is a 15 min or so walk down the hill past the golf course - there is a footpath away from the road so it's great if you want to leave the car/van at the campsite. If you are too tired for the walk back, there is a half-hourly bus service which stops pretty much right outside. The amenities were ok, I had issues getting hot water in the sink in the morning but my husband said it was ok later in the day, so maybe the boiler took time to kick in? The toilet cubicles are quite small, overall the facilities are adequate but a little tired perhaps. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the site had a relaxed feel (helped by the fact it was the end of the season so probably much quieter than in the height of summer), we'd stay again due to the vibe and the location.

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed yourselves. The amenities block in your field is undergoing a complete refurbishment this winter. Many thanks.

Trip in the motorhome

Stayed before. Not too far a walk down to the town of Perranporth. Good site. Shop and reception open every day, handy to have. Free help yourself herb garden. Lovely hot showers, although need a bit updating, which they are doing before next years opening!! Great.

Perfect!

An absolutely beautiful site. Tollgate is spotlessly clean and the staff are very friendly. Pitches are very large. For first time campers, we could not have picked a better site. We will definitely be booking again for next year.

Lovely site with friendly and helpful staff

Helpful and friendly staff, lovely site. Good, clean facilities with lots of recycling bins. Handy location near Perranporth with lots of local walks. We enjoyed our stay.

Relaxed stay

Had a lovely stay here. Although very busy, they are very organised and as we were in a smaller field. Perran never felt crowded. Amazing walks for our dogs straight from the site. No long lists of rules printed everywhere which I hate to see. Staff all really helpful. The only downside was the Wi-Fi. I use Vodafone and really struggled to get any signal. You can pay onsite for their Wi-Fi but was an extra twenty pounds for a week.

Site's response

Thank you very much for the lovely review. Very pleased you found the great walks for the dogs to the beach etc. We do try our best to give our guests a fantastic stay. Unfortunately, we don't have any control over Vodaphone, so can't do much about the signal strength and one of the main reasons we have Wi-Fi available across the whole site and this did cost a lot of money to install and to maintain. The cost of £20 for 7 days is for three devices which looking at other places, is value for money. It was a pleasure having you stay with us and we hope you come and stay again very soon.

Wonderfully located camp that has beautiful views

Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Extremely friendly staff - they lent us some chocks and gave us some very helpful local transport advice. Fantastic location - 15 minute walk on a picturesque footpath down to Perranporth, lots of areas to walk dogs and 15 minutes to truly beautiful beach. Highly recommended.

Lovely, family run site

Would recommend to family and friends. Nice stay. Love the gate open when you use phone number. Nice, clean toilet and wet room.

Our stay

Our stay. No comment.

Excellent site

Excellent site. Only thing we would say is our pitch was on a slope and our Air Tent didn't sit properly. Next time would ask for flat pitch.

Nice location

We just got back from a 7 night stay and really enjoyed it. A very friendly welcome.

Lovely, friendly place

I arrived in the middle of a rainstorm that was due to go on for the whole night and had already hiked from Newquay. so was feeling quite miserable! They found me a sheltered spot to keep out of the rain as much as possible and made sure I knew where all the facilities were. Super nice, friendly people. I made use of the tumble dryers on site to dry out some wet things, which was a huge help.

Lovely family campsite close to Perranporth

Spacious and clean. Local bus service into Perranporth with the most amazing beach and waves. Site had visiting street food van one night and pizza another. Herb garden and lovely children's park. Recommended.

Fab and friendly

The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The site was everything I look for - quiet and well maintained within easy reach of Perranporth itself. The staff were always happy to help with bus info, parking and even a step ladder to get the roof bag back on the car! I would readily return.

5 star camping site

Very good place to spend some time with your family.

Our stay

Very nice stop over, loads for kids to do, showers and toilets clean.

Nice place to stay

Nice place to stay for the night. Was on the pricier side for one night at £46.50 per night. Had a pizza takeaway van on site, which was nice.

Good first family camping experience

We enjoyed our stay, facilities were ample and adequate for our needs. Toilets and showers were clean. Has a play area and farm animal park which is a nice touch. Regular takeaway vans visit every week. The family block facilities are nicer than the other smaller one by reception. Staff all very friendly and helpful.

Nice and close to beach

Lovely campsite, friendly and helpful staff. Nice walks to the beach.

Good value

Perfect for a one-night stay. All you need from a campsite. Clean facilities. Close to Perranporth beach and town.

Lovely site with great facilities

Fab place for a holiday! The site is very well kept, lots of extra small touches, like vending machines, books to borrow, hot drink machine, freezer and microwaves, as well as the usual. Would certainly visit again soon, very happy!

Brilliant site

Brill time, definitely recommend.

Pleasant

The campsite grounds were nice with friendly staff and a very nice touch where they had food trucks came on certain days. Lovely to see the farm animals. However, the toilets were small and there was only two shower rooms for the plot where we were staying. The shower wall mount was extremely loose and when both showers and the washing up area was being used, the water pressure was extremely low so very difficult to wash. There was mould within the tiles and there was rubbish on the windowsill from when we first arrived and on the last day we stayed. The wash rooms very dated. We purchased the Wi-Fi for seven days but this kept dropping out and when enquiring about this, they suggested that we logged off and re-purchased and asked for a plot number and never responded to any other emails.
