Great spotGreat view Great facilities Great staff

We booked this site as we our park of choice had no availability. Upon arriving, we were surprised at how quiet it was. There was one other caravan in the field we were staying in and a camper van showed up later that day. The other fields had a couple of tents in over the course of the week that we were there. There didn't seem to be any security as such. There was no barrier at the entrance so anyone could drive in. One of the shower blocks for the women was extremely smelly and in need of a refurb. The other one was a lot better but could do with seats in the showers. There was nothing in the ladies showers to clean the shower area after you'd finished. The cafe was closed due to staff shortage. You need to be careful if you have dogs or children as the pitches appear to be marked out with some sort of engine oil. My dog rolled in it the first day and was covered all over his back and harness, hence we had to bath him and wash the harness which the oil hasn't come out of. I really don't understand why they have used oil to mark the pitches, it's a ridiculous idea.The only positive was that we had a nice view. This site is extremely overpriced for what is on offer.

We had a lovely stay - beautiful views, quiet neat campsite and great facilities. Can't wait to come back!!

Very tidy site, plus points for us:Excellent views and sunsets.On the main bus route.Good on site cafe.Friendly team.Hot, plentiful showers.Very quiet as we went before peak season. (It is a large site and we might not have liked it so much, had it been packed!) Only couple minor niggles:No directional signage at entrance to site.Could do with mats outside bathrooms to avoid grass being walked in.

Very impressed with this site, all areas were immaculately clean and well kept, and the bar/ restaurant with live music early in the evening was fantastic.

This was our third stay at Southwinds. Angie and the team are so welcoming and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The site is well maintained and exceptionally clean. Can’t wait to come back.

Lovely clean site with good facilities on the edge of Polzeath. Beautiful views looking west over the sea; great for sunsets.

... with everything you need, nice and orderly. But they do not seem to answer the phone out of very short office hours, so, if anything slows your journey and you arrive later than expected like I did, you won't get any help. Which in a way is ok - you can just pitch up. But if you pick an expensive spot not knowingly, you have to pay for it. So anyway I didn't feel terribly welcome really. But that is Polzeath I guess. So overrun in high season that as soon as Bank holiday is over they don't want to see anyone any more. Who can blame them. But what about those of us that like to visit out of season? and support the local economy outside of the peak July/August? It's a pity. But Southwinds IS a lovely place to stay.

Great site, perfect location but would benefit from onsite shop for food or cafe. The new barn restaurant closed for the season when I arrived but there is no opportunity to get local produce such as milk, bread etc unless you want to do the 2km walk to the village
