About Atlantic Bays Holiday Park
Tucked close to Padstow, Atlantic Bays Holiday Park makes a practical base for touring Cornwall's north coast. Families appreciate the decent play area and spotlessly clean showers, while the friendly staff keep check-in quick and straightforward. Pitches range from fully serviced hardstanding to simple grass tent spots, so there's flexibility whether you're in a motorhome or under canvas, and dogs are welcome throughout.
The location delivers easy access to beaches and coastal walks, though some visitors note the facilities themselves can feel a touch run-down in places. Still, with electric hook-ups, year-round opening and reliable WiFi, it covers the essentials without fuss—a solid, no-frills option if exploring the area matters more than on-site glamour.

What visitors say
We were attending the Royal Cornwall show so the location was good. 15 minutes away without show traffic. Quiet site. Challet was clean and welcoming after a long day. Padstow easy to get to. Several takeaways in st Merryn a few minutes away.

Came here for 5 nights and we wish we booked the flipping week , blown away by the staff being so welcoming and friendly and couldn't do enough for us! Really wonderful and the accommodation is the best we've ever stayed in we are in number 33 it's stunning , we've decided we won't be going anywhere else in future we always stay in Beverly park in Paignton and we are just lost for words!! Thank you to everyone xxxxxxx

No entertainment for kids. No swimming pool or any other fun activities. Just a small bar. Not very helpful either as we were needing help for finding our chalet but reception was closed long before it shut down time. We couldn find anyone who us find our chalet. Not for kids so avoid this place if you have children as they will be bored. My children were very upset and disappointed. Total waste of money. Now regretting.

Not sure when this promo photo was taken but it wasn't recently. Staff on site try hard but clearly someone at head office has forgotten the memo about upgrades, developments and improvements. Very few serious improvements made in the last 4 years despite local advertising of entertainment and facilities that simply do not exist. Staff seem bewildered and trot out the same old story about what is 'about to happen' without counting to anything like a timescale. Excellent location and a sute being severely let down by continuous lack of investment. It remains clean and apparently well maintained but just not quite hitting the mark expected of internal holiday makers these days. Sorry
