Very odd little site. It has some very rough edges to it but is still used by some obviously wealthy people (when it comes to owned caravans at least).It is a park within a park and when you go through the posh park into Maribou you may think you have gone 20 years into the past. They don't seem to have a time limit on the age of caravans so quite a few are very tired and green with age others or very expensive and modern looking. All the staff we came across were very grizzled and rough looking but could not have been more helpful. The facilities are very basic it has a pub, a small out of date arcade and a basic but cheap takaway (chicken nuggets and chips for £2.00). The main selling point for this site is its location. It has several great beaches within a few minutes by car and Padstow and a fair sized Tesco are all within ten minutes by car. Maybe we were lucky but we found absolutely no loutish behaviour or over the top noise and for that matter I don't think we bumped into a single person wearing a football team shirt for the entire week we were in St. Meryn.
