    1 Star Not Such A Haven 12/07/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Close to the beach

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Loud, pissheads, druggies, abuse, unclean, not much to do

    Nothing says good morning quite like a fresh dump on your car! If you were thinking this site was a low key, relaxing, student friendly atmosphere, you and I were sadly mistaken. 18-30?!, read the small print on the site because they allow 16 years olds onto the site as long as there accompanied by an adult and they don‘t even ID so I can safely say there were younger than that. For us that meant 3 caravans next to us full of screaming chavs, with a small tent with 2 20 year olds to keep an eye on them. Expect only peace and quiet from about 5am-7am when everyone is passed out. Weekends the ... more

    3 Stars Smugglers Haven.. 2009 Review 22/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap,good transport provided, party atmosphere

    Disadvantages Disadvantages users too young, unclean, lawless

    The site. The site its self is located about 2 to 3 miles away from the centre of newquay, tucked away where you cant be found. It is not one site, the whole complex is called Travelgue, with the "roudy lot" being tucked away at the back of the site, that end being called Smugglers Haven. The front of the site has the families only section and doesnt have much in the way of exciting facilities for the general 'smugglers' user. Smugglers its self comprises of a section of static caravans and camping areas. The Facilities. There is a shop/off licence on site which seems pretty well equipped for ... more

    4 Stars Fun for the Young 15/08/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages good location, fun and friendly, great for Boardmasters

    Disadvantages Disadvantages dirty bathrooms and long queues, can be loud

    This was our first visit to Newquay, and I don't think it could have been much better! A group of three 23-year old girls, surrounded my hundreds of fellow youngsters all up for a good camping time. If you're looking for a relaxed, peaceful, luxury campsite, this is definitely not it. However, we didn't really find it that loud, although it does depend where you are situated - because some groups do blast music into the early hours. We met loads of friendly people, and you get talking to them wherever you are on the campsite :) We met several people that had been back a few years running, so ... more

    3 Stars What Were They Smuggling? 13/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very cheap indeed. Great buzzing atmosphere.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Facilities are very basic, and of low standard. The wardens are not very good at their role.

    Smugglers Haven is a static caravan site in Newquay, Cornwall. Aimed at the 18 to 30 market, it attracts the people who gave Newquay the name for being the best club scene in England. With that in mind, me and 8 friends went down in July this year for a week of drinking, and partying. We went for one week, during July's awful rain period and suffered from the weather, but we were determined to not let that ruin our stay. +++ Location +++ It's quite tough to get down to Newquay, from where I live, cost effectively. We decided to split up into 3 sets of 3 travelling down, and as I was with two ... more

    3 Stars Smugglers Haven 2012 16/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good get away place for teens, good atmosphere, accepts under 16s without parents

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get muddy, some people there are dicks, Only very basic facilities, not that clean

    Smugglers Haven in Newquay is a popular destination for 16 year old teens to stay after their exams as a sort of get away break, I'm not sure how this started, probably because Smugglers is one of the only sites that would let 16 year old kids stay without parents, however I believe the site has been running for a long time now and staying at this site has become almost a sort of tradition for years 11s leaving at some schools. Following this tradition, most people from my school decided to go down and we had it booked ready from a fairly early date. None of our group (5 boys) bothered paying ... more
