Holiday Parks & Campsites in Cornwall
Cornwall is such a fantastic place to have a camping holiday whether you have a tent or want to stay in one of the many caravans or chalets that the region has to offer. The parks have everything from live entertainment to swimming pools and arcades and so many of them are located in seaside towns close to a beach If you want a lively holiday with everything included so you can keep the whole family entertained or you want something a bit more chilled, Cornwall has it all!
Cornwall has over 30 holiday parks spread across its coastline and countryside, ranging from family-focused resorts with pools and entertainment to quieter sites that let you pitch a tent and hear the sea. The parks in this guide have been chosen for their facilities, location, and guest feedback.
What to expect from a Cornwall holiday park
Most parks offer a mix of accommodation — static caravans, chalets, lodges, and touring pitches for tents and campervans. On-site facilities typically include swimming pools (often heated and indoor), restaurants, bars, kids’ clubs, and games rooms. Many parks sit within walking distance of a beach.
Choosing the right park
- For families with young children: Look for parks with indoor pools, kids’ clubs, and evening entertainment — Newquay Bay Resort and Bude Holiday Resort both deliver on this.
- For couples or quieter stays: Trevella Park in Crantock offers a more relaxed atmosphere with luxury pods and Crantock Beach nearby.
- For dog owners: Most Cornwall holiday parks accept pets in selected units. Always check when booking which accommodation types allow dogs.
- For surfers: Parks near Newquay and Perranporth put you within minutes of consistent surf breaks.
When to book
Peak season (July-August and school holidays) fills quickly — booking 3-6 months ahead is recommended for the best choice of units. Shoulder season (May-June, September) offers lower prices, fewer crowds, and often better weather than you’d expect.
