The park itself is very well kept and a great holiday starting point. Our caravan was extremely well presented , the only problem for me personally was access to it. I have severe mobility issues, so when confronted with 5 entrance steps to enter the van posed a challenge for me. The park staff where all very friendly and helpful. Particular note needs to be made to the bar manager Zack. His attention to detail and dedication to me was credible. The parks name is also somewhat misleading. It is nowhere near the beach!! Being of limited mobility the 20 minute or so walk down a grass track rugged path meant access for me was forbidden. On site there is a fabulous play park and lovely crazy golf course. The online shop was very well stocked. The on site chippy was excellent. All food prepared fresh while you waited

This is in a gorgeous location only five minutes walk to the stunning Crantock beach and a short drive into Newquay and to the nearest supermarket. We stayed in one of the new caravans designed for two people and it was very clean, bed and sofa both very comfortable, had everything we needed in terms of kitchen, good shower, and great layout inside/well thought out. Many of the caravans had great views over the dunes and sea so look out for those. We didn’t use the club but there was a small club/restaurant on site, a fish a chip shop and a small convenience store. I would definitely stay here again Crantock was our favourite beach out of the ones we visited around Newquay as it was not too crowded but you could still hire surf, kayak and other equipment, there were toilet facilities and a little ice cream/coffee can in the beach, there’s a river running along too and lovely walks around the dunes.

If I could give 2.5 stars I would because that’s exactly what this place is - completely average. I’ll do my best to cover as much as I can here but quite frankly I have a lot to say and sadly it’s far from entirely positive. Location The location of the park itself is both good and bad. In terms of driving in, as Cornish roads go, the ones leading to the park are above and beyond some of the riskiest I’ve been down with some real hairy blind corners. I appreciate this is somewhat not a mark against the park but visitors be warned you’ll need a confident driver at the wheel. For those looking to use the park as a jumping off point for the beach, I’d say it’s so-so. If you’re able bodied and without youngsters or prams, you won’t get better than this as you’re only 15 minutes from Crantock beach which is an absolute blessing to this place however there is a relatively steep climb back home. For those less fortunate there is a car park right on top of the beach but it does mean visits will cost you. Staff An interesting one. Didn’t really encounter much of anyone bar the occasional person walking around, but those we did were exceptional. The two fellas running the on-site shop were above and beyond the nicest blokes going providing some brilliant chit chat and local recommendations. Not much else to say - bit of a ghost town. Facilities Ironically I’ve got a lot to say about this considering there isn’t much to write about. To put it bluntly, there’s nothing going for this site. The arcade is roughly 6 machines, half of which were out of service when we ventured in. The clubhouse is a sorry sight - the bar had no beer on tap and no post mix due to an undiagnosed problem with the system, the food situation seemed to change on a daily basis as to whether it existed or not, the entertainment was only seen once and the listings on the walls only displayed up to August which is little use to those like us visiting in September and the only pool table is nestled cozily into the end of the room with one of the pool cues frayed at the end so badly it looks like an exploded Looney Tunes cigar. The chippy was overpriced but food did the job although nothing to write home about, would use it as a last resort which is exactly what we did. The on-site shop is pretty much all it needs to be, with a decent selection of standard items that is a tad marked up in price but to be expected for a holiday park so no complaints. Allegedly there is a mini golf in the park but it must be exceptionally tiny because we couldn’t see it anywhere which can also be said for the Costa coffee which is apparently on the premises. As harsh as it feels to say, we’ve left here feeling as though the site was falsely advertised and wildly over exaggerated what it had to offer. Accommodation On a positive note, the caravan itself was lovely. It was just the two of us plus dog so plenty of space which is handy because of an evening it’s where we often found ourselves, twiddling thumbs and puffing our cheeks wondering what to do. All in all a very comfortable stay, very clean and tidy on arrival and absolutely no complaints about it. I could go on and on but I think I’ve said enough. I hope the managers of the site take note of this review and the others like it, of which I’ve seen plenty of, and start putting the money back into improving basic things people have come to expect from Park Dean. They’d be wise to acknowledge there is far better for far cheaper available in the area.

Visited Wavecrest bar while on holiday last weekend. Taylor, Dan and Ashleigh where great. Nothing was too much trouble. All very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back ( especially if these 3 are still there) Crantock Beach is ideally situated for visiting a lot of Cornwall and the beaches are stunning!

Great caravan site close to the beach and also good onsite facilities. The caravan was in good condition and had excellent views of the sea. Definitely recommend.

Off the beaten track, id check the route before you leave, but sat nav does take you right to it. Fantastic caravansite and great value for money. Very clean and within short walk distance to the beach. Didn't use the entertainment on this occasion but seemed OK when passing.

Cracking views of the sea! Quiet and peaceful. Dog walking area with nature area which was really nice to see. 5 mins walk to beach! My only negatives are road leading to park is really uneven and will test your suspension. It's a one way back road with tight corners and pot holes so beware driving to and from the park. Also this is my observation from a wonderful stay at the park, the rubbish bins are for all waste only and there is no option to recycle which we are used to. Card, plastic, metal and trash all go into one Biffa bin so I think the park should install multi bins in all the caravans and around site. This is a passion of mine and should be on everyone's mind as we are killing our beautiful planet.

A great holiday home for a base, only due to not much for kids to do on site. Other than that it's a lovely quite site with a lovely beach just down the track. Would definitely come back as we have found it's almost right in the middle of everything we have done during our week away

For a beach holiday it's location is fantastic. The staff are polite and helpful. Big mention to Sarah who checked us in and answered loads of questions we had, her customer service is fantastic! The techs were quick to help with a blocked drain..couldn't ask for more really, not a bad word to say about the staff! The downside though is that the park allows dogs which sadly their owners don't seem to be able to control with barking unnecessarily and for a lot of the time, and also letting them do their toilet requirements without picking it up. Its a sign of the times, but its disgusting! In fairness not all of them but many in the week we were there, many times i have seen people let the dogs do it and just walk away. There is little WIFI either on most networks so if you are working on holiday or need to be online, you will need to buy WIFi time! The road in is also very narrow on the approach to the site and no room for 2 vehicles to pass so that can be entertaining to watch people try and reverse and make a pigs ear if it. Grown men have been seen crying trying this! But if you want to arrive and just go off grid for a few days it's perfect, beach access is a 10 min walk away and shops are available in the village and the supermarket a 10 min drive away. The caravans are decent size and well equipped with most things you will need and they are presentable too. If I had any complaint here the double bed is more a large single and the shower isn't a place to call roomy, but it's a weeks stay..its ok. The chip shop on site does a decent fish and chips and the guy running it asks if you have allergies (very professional) very respectable service and clean and tidy. The shop on site had most things you need including tourist tat if you do that kind of thing and there is a small games arcade and along with laundrette facilities it's not a bad park. Just wish that dog owners would not forget that are they not the only ones on the site and keep them under control and clean up after them! Would I go again, yes!

We had a wonderful three night break. The caravan was clean and warm, with lovely views over Crantock beach. The friendly and helpful staff bent over backwards to make our stay an enjoyable one.

Really nice park, been to many Park Dean parks and this one is among the nicest. Not loads going on, the arcades on site are minimal but there is a chippy and shop. Gorgeous views over the beach, which is a relatively short walk away, although a little bit of a hike back up to the site. Would definitely recommend, but not necessarily if you're looking for somewhere with loads for the kids to do on-site. The road to the site is a bit of a nightmare, single track with high hedgerows (as it's typical on a lot of roads in Devon and Cornwall). There are passing places but still a pain if you meet somebody coming the other way. We found the best way was actually through the village of Crantock, from the site turn right rather than left when your get to the end of the road leaving the site, it's a much shorter road and much easier to see if anything is coming. Also you get to see the beautiful little village.

We have just stayed at Crantock Holiday Park. The site was clean, tidy and the grass was well kept. All the staff were helpful cheerful and nothing was too much trouble. We were sad to leave, as we both had a lovely caravan, with a fantastic view of the beach. Would definitely go again.

Unclean caravan. Poor entertainment venue. Next to no food available on site. Not suitable for the elderly or disabled to travel to the beach. The site right next door is so much more value for money and has so much more to offer. The upside was the security was good and the staff are friendly.

Nice peaceful time away .... and close to the beach !. The beach was wonderful. Good for pets as well. Mobile signal was almost non-existent so depending on your age you either loved it or hated it :). Cabin was a really tight fit.. small but did the job well. Not too much to do on-site so drove out to keep kids entertained if we were not on the beach.... the Eden project, healys apple/cyder farm and many more are close by and worth a stop. I would go again but would try to book a larger caravan.

Really good family holiday, close to the beach. Wonderful views of the sea and the sunset later on in the day. Couldn't fault the service, we were missing a plug hole in our kitchen sink when we arrived and parkdean sorted us one out with a few minutes. Really clean site.

Had a great 3 days away here. Caravan right at the front looking out to sea. The caravan was well appointed and clean. Not much to do onsite but the beach is a short walk away. There is a fish and chip shop which was nice, although the chips were a little over cooked.

Just had a stay at this Parkdean resort , we have mainly positive feedback. The caravan we stayed in was clean , tidy and had a lovely view and a great value for money. The staff were polite whenever we needed help especially the bloke in the nisa shop. Short walk down to the beach where we found ourselves most evenings and a nice walk along the coast path. The only let downs for this site would be the roads into the site are dangerous very small lots of blind corners and not many pull in especially not big enough to fit two cars through I would suggest a one way system be put in for future use as this would make this site a 5 star for sure. The only second minor let down was the fish and chips was way overpriced and should only be used if you have no other choice. Would 100% stay again if they could sort out the roads in and out.

3 nights 4 days, couple, 2 children and a 10 month old dog! Accommodation was clean and we had everything we needed. The food at the club was good, the entertainment was great! Bingo, live music and games. The club is dog friendly inside which was fab! The most stunning beach only a short walk away. A dog park on site for gentle walks. The staff were amazing, all of the them! Especially the guys in the club...went above and beyond and kept smiles on their faces even when run off their feet. Would definitely go back!

We left on Friday after staying for a week, our caravan was in a perfect location and spotlessly clean upon arrival. We booked a dog friendly Porthtowan caravan. Shop was well stocked and reasonably priced. Arcade is very small, also the entertainment/bar area. The on site chip shop is very expensive and not nice at all! We didn't try the restaurant on the site but there's a fantastic restaurant on the right just before you enter the park, we ate there twice! Park is kept lovely and clean, we even saw 2 guys going round cleaning the caravan windows. The beach is stunning and we spent quite a lot of time down there with the dog, the walk back up isn't for the feint hearted though lol. The only negative thing I found was the very narrow lane getting to the site, especially at peak times when returning from a day out. We had to keep reversing to let others through. Apart from that it's a perfect quiet site for anyone who wants a bit of peace!

Been visiting this site for Many years and the reason because the caravans have always been very clean and dog free when we have requested because having 2 small children and myself asthmatics, many years later we have still been visiting this site until March this year, we decided to upgrade to one of the new caravans which looked lovely. On arrival the caravan was very disappointing filthy!!!! Dogs had been in there and I requested no dog caravan as I still suffer with asthma dog saliva all over the patio door and the strong smell of dog !! The place was absolutely full of dog hairs on the chairs and also in the bedroom, I did go straight to the office to report the problem I was told it would be cleaned whilst we where out for the day, came back and it was just still has bad. The next morning when I stepped out of bed I trodden on something really sharp when I looked at my foot bleeding it was a toenail cutting 🤮 the staff have definitely let this place down the following years back we always had someone knock on the door to see if the accommodation was ok and where we happy which we have never had problems before. We will never be returning to this site again I did a previous review in March and photos and where did my review go !!!!

Very nice site, only a short walk from the beach and Crantock village. There is a shop, chippy, launderette. The bar is only open from 5 but the room to get free WiFi is open from 10 (this could be because of the time of year, end of September) the site is small with some very good views.

We have just arrived home from a long weekend away at Crantock Beach. This was our first time at this caravan park. We do always use parkdean sites and always have a great time. This is a much smaller site than we would usually go to but we wanted to try somewhere new. It's a beautiful and well kept small park, playground is lovely and my 2 younger children enjoyed it. The chip shop was not the best but still very pleasant staff. The bar and entertainment room is small but staff very nice and welcoming as we're the people we met staying onsite to. The entertainment was good on the night's it was on which was the Friday & Saturday night. Both night's there were singer's on, which the whole family enjoyed. The best part to this site is the beautiful beach, it's a bit hilly but so worth it. All in all we had a fantastic time, the only thing I would say to other people thinking of choosing this park is if it's the children's entertainment your after then it's not suitable, also no swimming pool & the arcade is very limited but as a base if you intend to get out and about off the site it would be great. Beautiful part of the country.

We love this park its not the biggest. But it's set just above the idyllic Crantock beach. The staff are fantastic with the children and adults alike. Ashliegh on the bar works really hard and is always smiling. Hayley the entertainment person is so lovely, a really great entertainer. Thank you for a fabulous week 😘

The caravan was really nice and new. Everything you need is already there and you have paid for that looking at the prices. A part that, nothing will suggest to me to come back to this place. Described as a "beach on the doorstep", not sure what kind of doorstep they have in their houses, but the beach ( FANTASTIC ) is really far, probably 20 minutes walk on a very complicated high path. ABSOLUTELY NO CHILDREN AND/OR STROLLERS! A restaurant without chefs and/or waiters. Only one amazing guy to run the bar. If you want food you should order at the Chippy and they will serve you in the bar. Nothing else!!!! I have been in Cornwall and there are a lot of better place then this!

The beds were covered in hairs and dirt, there was food under the sofas. There is no security at this park so anyone could have walked in. We heard people at 11 pm whilst we were trying to go to sleep after a busy day and our dog let out a woof, these people then decided to knock on the windows and walk away up the side of other caravans. However the view from our caravan was very good and there is nothing better than waking up to a sea view. The arcade is very little and old, the shop is nice but small and old. The fish and chip shop is a nice place but the food is not nice. I would probably not stay here again and we will find somewhere else and better to stay. However Cornwall is an amazing, beautiful place and this site could be really good but it is not.
