Hi

We live in Cornwall and go away every weekend (except the winter) and it depends on what you are looking for.

If you are looking for family parks with a lot to do, you won't go far wrong with Hendra, its not on the beach, but good public transport as parking in Newquay is a bit of a nightmare high season. A little further out is Monkey Tree Rejarrah, good facilites and transport into Newquay.

Perran Sands Perranporth is another large family park, although the showers could do with an update, and it is right on the beach. Also have a look at Trevarrian and Watergate Bay.

Something a little smaller but with a pool club etc, Sun Valley St Austell is excellent.  We not been to Tregarton (never get a pitch with a motor home) but it has a good reputation as does Trevornick Holywell Bay.

A suggestion for site with pool, food shop but no club, Carlyon Bay St Austell is well recommended.

Gwithian Farm is a nice site, right on the beach and the showers are nice, but there is not a lot there no shop, take-away etc, but the pubs Sandsifter and Pendarvis Arms are within walking distance.

Christine, re Parkdean, these used to be great sites for touring, the facilities are normally very good, but as the static's increase the pitches are being run down, for example Mullion Holiday Park, the touring fields are some way from the the centre and the showers leave a little to be desired.

Hope this helps

Hi Lou

I live half way between Camborne and Porthreath, quite near the country park, & I spent quite a lot of time in Bristol at Uni

Perhaps you might have some further sugggestions for our future campers
