arrived on march 28th monday to friday break ,the park had just opened, had a nice time thow it could of bin better i agree of some of what the other reveiw said about the late night disco and the drinks as that happened to us tuesday being the worse, my husband and dad just bought a drink just befour 11pm
then was told time at the bar please hurry up with your drinks and go as they were closeing. which we wasnt happy about but was told it was quite and wasnt worth staying open,we also thought the entertainment team were extreamly loud evernings especally the blonde girl, dan was are fav, very helpfull and kind.caravan was fab loved it, and we would go back again maybe when there is warmer weather.lovley part of cornwall there is all diffrent ways to get to the beach if you have got buggys there is a bus stop on camp plus a little train that gos around the park, happy hoildays

i thought the overall Perran Sands camp was brilliant lots to do for all the family
there is entertainment on every nite for evry age group although i thought the shallys was disgusting it said seating for 5 and there was only 3 seats there excuse was there was no more room to put further seating (even no we paid for the 5 people shally)they told us to use the wooden chairs from the dinner table to sit on.
the cooker was disgusting we wudnt even cook off it and the fridge and freezer was all rusty at the bottom like there was a flood at 1 time in the shally there were cracks in the walls and what appeared to be blood splatered up the wall near the door the windows were so dirty u cudnt even see out of them all of this even no we paid 20 pounds extra so we cud get in earlier so they wud clean it quicker and all of these faults were down to wear and tear apparently i am not trying to put any 1 off going to perran sands but if u are thinking of going dont go in the shallys try to book the caravans because they look beautiful inside over all it was a great holiday

We have just got back from Perran sands(Haven).Firstly I would say it is the most fantastic location.
We stayed in a tent(our own) and paid nearly £400 for the week which I thought was very over priced.The pitches were small and our bedroom backed onto another tents bedroom allowing just a 4 foot gap.
The toilets/shower blocks were the worst we had ever encountered.Filthy dirty at most times of the day.The toilet attendant seemed to stand around half heartedly mopping the floor(that's when we saw them which would be all of 3 times in the week and only ever in the morning).The toilets smelt awful too and made me want to heave,indeed automatic smelly sprays were placed in the loos when a damned good bleach and scrub would have solved the problem.
A sign outside the shower blocks stated that mon and wednesday was deep clean day and therefore each block would be shut(one monday and the other wednesday)To be perfectly frank they looked virtually no different and certainly no'deep clean had taken place'
Evening entertainment was average but the drinks were pricey.The food store was extortionate.For example a tub of hot chocolate was £1.99 and in a supermarket it's 99p...I understand that these small shops can be a bit more pricey but that is way over the top.(btw this was a supermarket in the same area..
The actual location is fantastic.We loved the beach.One of the best we have ever seen.It's a hike back up the hill and not for the faint hearted or disabled.You can walk right along the beach to the nearby seaside town in 45 mins.It's a fabulous walk with amazing caves to explore along the way and miles of beautiful white sand,amazingly clean too and very dog friendly.
We would definitely come to Perran Sands again but definitely NOT the Haven resort.
I've given 3 stars for the area rather than the resort.

If you are going to book a caravan or chalet do it privately not through Haven, the Perran Sands site is really nice with big dunes and a fantastic beach but to access it through the site you will need to be quite fit, also if you wish to have a daily pass for the club/pool forget it, Haven will only give out 3 or 4 day passes minimum, the cheapest being £27 per adult or £16 per child, local taxi very friendly and recommend the Sunset Bar on the beach front hotel Perran Porth, also The Bowgie Inn near Crantock for nice drinks and my daughter loved the cookies, best beach was Porth Cothan on the road to Padstow, overall shop on site very pricey but not a bad place to base your holiday.

Perran Sands is a good camping and caravan site, and we would return. We ended up having no car for the week, and the staff were more than helpful with garage details, buses and extra nights if needed etc.

Some of the chalets do look old and could do with a revamp, but this was a beautiful site.

We spent the whole of October half term at the Haven Holidays Perran Sands Holiday Park. We had a Silver Caravan as we needed the space, having a baby and 2 children under 4. The Caravan was a 2006 Savannah model; 3 bedrooms, large lounge and kitchen, separate shower and toilet. As we went for the Silver caravan we had a microwave and bed linen provided, and we also hired a travel cot for our youngest.

We arrived late, being delayed by roadworks on the A30. Once we found the caravan (after a tour of the park, due to poor signs), we found we didn't have a cot in the caravan, so I went back to reception to arrange for a cot to be delivered, which it was in about 10 minutes. I was disappointed that some of the pillows were damp and had black mould on them, but once the fire had been on full for 24 hours, the caravan was nice and warm. Also, there were no loo rolls. The brochure asks you to bring toiletries and towels, but not loo rolls. The kitchen had ample supply of crockery, but missed some more important items - ie. bread board, baking tray and sharp kitchen knives.

The first evening we had fish and chips from the on site chip shop - I was shocked to discover the fish was bulk frozen, the batter and the chips were poor quality. Never again.

The convenience store comes at a premium, the few items we bought were about 20-30% higher than the village shops. I would recommend that any shopping is done in Perranporth, it has a large Coop, alternately a Morrisons at Newquay.

The road around the complex is in need of some repairs, as there are a few pot holes, so it needs some maintenance.

I took the eldest children to the Paws "Lets Make" on Sunday, followed by story time with Anxious the Elephant. They enjoyed doing stamping and making caterpillar puppets. In the afternoon we went to the beach - once we found the beach path.

Looking at the brochure it appears that the beach is just down a grass bank, when it is not. The beach path (concreted) meanders down the side of the cliff, before reaching the sand. It is fairly steep and popular, even in October.

On the 3rd day we woke to a cold caravan, the gas having ran out, so I made the 5 minute walk in the rain to reception, and by the time I got back to the caravan, the gas bottle was being replaced - great service.

We were on-site for a whole week. The caravans around us were let Friday to Monday, Monday to Friday, which surprised me as to why people would want to travel all that way for 2/3 days. The site appeared full, yet not crowded.

Out of the Park, the village of Perranporth is minutes by car. Park the car at the beach car park for £3 or for free at the car park behind the Spar shop. Visit the Ice Cream shop, with 30 flavours to choose from. Explore the rock pools, and you must visit "The Watering Hole"!, the famous Pub on the beach. You can also visit Lands End (£3 to park) with its optional attractions (£8.95), or just admire the view which is great, even in a downpour! Also visit The Eden Project (£13.50). Both are about a half hour from Perran Sands.

To some up, we had a wonderful holiday. The kids enjoyed themselves, and even though we had 2 dry days, we will be back. There are other features of the Park like the pool and the evening entertainment etc., but we did not use these, so cannot comment.
