Great site worth the 512miles we travelled from Scotland. Toilets clean and showers warm, never had to queue once for a shower. The beach is great NO DOGS (heaven). Weather wasn’t as good as we expected but the met office got it completely wrong this year. Entertainment good, the first week the site was very quiet at night but the second week was getting a bit noisy and busy. Will hopefully return next year but a bit earlier to avoid peak period.

We have been visiting this campsite for five years, we make it a family holiday consisting of 5 teenagers and two children ten and seven. The younger children were quite happy as the pool area has little slides which they loved. The ten year old was just young enough to still enjoy these slides but next year i think he will be to big.

There is also a play pit which again they loved but its for ages 3 to 10 years. The ten year old will be to big for this next year.

There is a gym there personally i think this space could have been used for a teenage area, amusements,table tennis or snooker tables etc.

The swimming changing rooms are mixed and there are not enough toilets and showers.The pool has no facilities for teenagers and they certainly don't want mixed changing rooms at the age they are.

I am disappointed with the lack of facilities for the teenagers, there is nothing for them to do, there is no base for them to hang around and mix with others there own age.

Where is the amusement arcade? Bring it back! My teenagers loved this facility the couple that ran it were so lovely and always remembered us, without any facilities my teenagers took to walking to Mc donalds approximately 5 miles away

! or climbed the rocks ! this was simply because they were board.

Having said all the new facilities are beautiful and very clean.

We had a lovely breakfast looking out onto the sea.

It needs more for the teenagers!

My mother and I visited this caravan site only recently with another family, back in July for a week. Arrival was tricky, no one knew exactly what they had to do to get through the barrier, where to park to get to reception etc. No complaints about our pitch or booking. Washing facilities were all good. Swimming pool was excellent, although it had gotten a little busy. Entertainment was poor for teenagers, although some 'teen activities' were arranged, they were all early teens and there was little to do for people my age, 16. This was agreed by many adults with kids the same age. Resorting to leaving the club early and spending the night on the beach, as a way of meeting people wasn't great. The security guards were okay with it, which was good, I doubt we'd have met anyone without the beach time. Location was brilliant, Mevagissy is gorgeous. Staff were all OK, aside from a slight confusion with bar staff on the last night, but all was sorted. No major complaints, would return to the site.

Very disappointed with the new Seahorse Centre, it has no stage so it is limited to what acts can appear, also seems much smaller than the old club, the outdoor pool has gone the arcade has gone so nothing to do for teenagers, no early evening entertainment for young children.

The takeaway on site is expensive the camp shop is expensive but Asda & Tesco are only ten minutes down the road.

The staff are friendly &helpful. Very easy to book, arrival can be a bit hectic. The toilets & shower blocks are always very clean. The site has its own private beach. It is well worth a visit as a base to see other parts of Cornwall.

Just had a brilliant week at this site. Very clean and well run and cannot fault the staff at all. Seahorse centre was great with the pool being exceptionally clean! Special thanks go to the staff who helped us find a doctors surgery and allowed us to use the office telephone when the need arose.
