Magic Cove Touring Park

ABOUT US

The Touring Park was opened in July 1981 by Stan & Betty Marshall. Stan was known as Cornwall's Tallest Magician, hence the name MAGIC COVE. In 2003 management of the site passed to Lesley (Stan & Betty's Daughter). Following Stan's sudden death in 2007 the site is now owned and managed by Lesley with her husband Brian.

SITUATED in Mawgan Porth, being
mid-way between Newquay and Padstow
on the North Cornish Coast, Magic Cove offers a central base if you wish to make trips to anywhere in Cornwall, as seen
from our Location Map. On the other hand,
if you prefer to stay put, you will only be a 300 yard level walk from the beach, which offers safe bathing and surfing under lifeguard supervision, rock pools and fine sand for just lazing around!

MOBILE PHONE signal at the site is virtually non-existent, therefore Magic Cove would not be the place for you if you can't be without your phone!!

MAGIC COVE is a small friendly site with 25 pitches, 22 of which provide electric hook-up. The site is level with a tarmac surface leading to grass pitches and is situated 40 yards back from the road in a sheltered position, making it secluded and safe for children.

The toilet block is kept to a very high standard of cleanliness. Hot and Cold water is provided for all basins/sinks and the tiled shower cubicles operate on 10 pence meters. Water standpipes and drains for disposing of washing water etc are adjacent to each pitch. A central point for disposal of chemical toilet contents is a maximum of 50 yards from any pitch.

All Electric Hook-Up pitches include Digital Television Point (we went digital in August 2009, therefore analogue signal is unavailable) - Freeview boxes are available to hire at very reasonable rates. Aerial Leads loaned free of charge.

DVD rental - we have a wide selection to cater for both children and adults. Price of DVD hire is only £1 per title. We also have a library of books to borrow or swap - this is a free service.

Ice Packs Frozen free of charge.

We offer a free battery/mobile phone charging service.

We are open from Easter to the end of September. Booking is essential during peak periods and due to a large number of repeat bookings, in order to avoid disappointment, please book early.

DOGS are allowed on the beach and we also have our own private dog walk area adjoining the Site.

FACILITIES within 350 Yards:- Sandy Beach, Pitch and Putt, Crazy Golf, Tennis Courts, Shops supplying newspapers, provisions, gifts, beach goods and surfboard/wetsuit hire. A Surf School is also located by the beach for anyone who fancies having a go at surfing. A good selection of food and drink can be found at the local Pubs, Restaurant and Cafe.
A Launderette, Sauna & Payphone are adjacent to the Site.

BUTCHER From the end of May onwards, our friendly local butcher, Richard, calls at the site 3 mornings a week. He provides a wide selection of best quality meat for your barbecues, etc.

FRIENDLY SERVICE Our family have been resident in Mawgan Porth for over 50 years and will be happy to give any information you require, all you have to do is ask. On many occasions it has been said that Magic Cove has been the friendliest site people have visited. If you're looking for a Magical Holiday then why not stay at Magic Cove, no tricks, just the Magic of Cornwall.
