Holiday Parks in Newquay Cornwall

Looking to choose a holiday in Newquay Cornwall this year? One option is to stay on a Newquay Holiday Park. The advantage of these is they are quite a cheap form of self-catering and the campsite will have facilities such as entertainment, swimming pool, shop, takeaway and activities for children.

However, when having a holiday in Newquay, if you aren’t familiar with the holiday parks available and the Newquay town layout you will need to choose your holiday park carefully to get the best position and holiday park that meets your needs, whether you are a family, a couple or a group of teens.

Newquay itself has no caravan parks at or near the beach. They are all up to 2 miles inland. Here’s an overview of your Newquay holiday park options:

Trenance Caravan Park is great for families or older people. It is the closest caravan park to Newquay town. Location wise, it is next to the Zoo and by the boating lake. If you arrive by train then it is about a 15 minute walk (weight of your suitcases depending!) but it is all downhill. Trenance Caravan Park is a family caravan park, it is very small and doesn’t have many extra facilities.

Rosecliston Caravan Park is best for singles and couples. Definitely a young crowd. Rosecliston camp site is about 2 miles out of town.

At night it is dark to walk to, along a narrow road, although I think there may be a footpath there now, it certainly isn’t a walk I’d want to do on my own, both in terms of personal safety and traffic safety.

Porth Beach Tourist Park is ideal for families. It is close to Porth Beach, which is the outer edges of Newquay but has a great beach. Town is about 2 miles away, but buses run in the summer season until about 3am as they take people to/from Trevelgue.This is a good clean site.

Hendra Holiday Park is the largest in the area. Independently run it is family-centred and very clean and secure. Again, you will find this park 2.5 miles out of town, but there is a regular bus service into town throughout the day and evening.

Trevelgue Holiday Park bills itself as a family venue, but it does have a lot of young people events that you might not wish to be a part of - so watch out that you don’t mistakenly book into those dates and expect a quiet week (e.g. Run to the Sun weekend and the Mini Rally). Trevelgue is tucked away a mile or so inland and so not an easy walk to the beach. It is about 3-3.5 miles from Newquay town centre.

Sunnyside - this was a Club 18-30 holiday campsite for singles… The campsite has now closed down and the land is being used for second homes / holiday homes in Newquay - a new development of luxury cedar cabins for the posh crowd! There is a new Sunnyside Hotel that opened in Newquay town in 2007, this overlooks Towan Beach.

Newquay Holiday Park Tips

If you are booking holiday chalets, holiday caravans, mobile homes, campsites, or motorhome pitches in Newquay, then check the actual location of the holiday camp site. Many will align themselves to Newquay, yet actually be a number of miles inland.

If a holiday park is not for you then there are many Newquay Luxury Apartments to also chose from plus many holiday cottages, hotels and bed and breakfasts so there is a wide choice. Make sure you don’t arrive by plane or train, expecting to be within a mile of town, only to find you’re right out in the countryside without even a bus service.

Have a good holiday in Cornwall!
