I haven't been to that part of Cornwall yet!
I am going to take my Nan with us next May to St Ives so i have been looking on the net for a nice place... Want a static for a week though a bit more room for us all.
Anyone recommend any nice sites down there? 
We go to St Ives every year for two to three weeks. Prices are getting silly for cottages in the town, £600 - £700 per week for something decent, more if you want parking which is a real nightmare in the town itself. Last year drove in every day from home but often spent over an hour queuing for the carpark.
This year we have booked three weeks at Polmanter Touring and Camp Site which we have been to before and it is great but as you want a static have a look at this place
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1480. I stayed there years ago and remember that it was great. You can see St Ives across the bay from here although it is a fair treck into St Ives.
You can get the train along one of the most beautiful train rides in the South of England and there is park and ride at Lelant Saltings station. Tickets are bought on the train if you don't take the car and if you are lucky the ticket collector won't get to you before you arrive in St Ives
Other alternative is to park at St Ives Rugby Club and there is a bus that runs every 10 mins or so down to Porthmeor Beach which is next to The Tate Gallery. Probably the cheapest option would be to park in Tesco at Carbis Bay and get the bus in from there. We haven't done this but I often think it would be a good idea. It's only about a mile and a half from the town centre but it is severely uphill on the way back [smiley=tongue.gif]
For us the best beach is Porthgwidden. It's a bit out of the way but great with kids as you can see them all the time and they can just get on with it...
Hope you have a great time with your Nan.
