  • Quiet site with excellent views and good local walks
  • Pub/restaurant, village shop and play park within walking distance
  • A mile and a half from Perranporth beach
This peaceful Perranporth site is in properly prime position: it's set in spectacular Cornish countryside with first-rate views, and has easy access to Newquay and Truro as well as Perranporth. The nearest beach is a mere mile and a half away (walkable in about 30 minutes), and there's a pub/restaurant, garden centre and shop in Goonhavern, half a mile away along a lovely leafy bridleway (there's also a play park and football field up here for kids who need a bit of a run about). Reen Cross Campsite is a family-friendly park, welcoming families and couples only (and dogs, as long as they're well-behaved types and are kept on leads at all times while on site, ta). Pitches are large and well spaced out, on a flat camping field of around three acres, so there's plenty of room for the kids – and grownups – to play. Among the amenities are chemical disposal and facilities for ice pack freezing; new shower, toilet and laundry/washing-up facilities were added in 2017. Barbecues are allowed if raised off the ground.

Vista Platinum 3 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Stayed for a week in a 3 bed Vista caravan with my partner and 3 teenage children. The location was perfect for us. It feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, so quiet, surrounded by nature... but you're a short drive around 10minutes from Perranporth and a little further to Newquay. The caravan was really well equipped and spotless. We didn't use the shower block and laundrette but I'm guessing they'll have been prefect too. There's a lovely space with swings etc for children and the whole site is well maintained and small enough for children to roam free and be very safe. The site manager is brilliant, super friendly and full of info about the local area, restaurants, walks etc.

Zest 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: The static caravan was clean, tidy, and had everything we needed for our stay. My children loved the playground with climbing frame, which was nice surprise as I didn't realise there was one at the camp when we booked our stay. The laundry and ablution blocks were clean and well maintained. The owner Craig was friendly and helpful. Lovely arriving to a cream tea. We will be booking again for next year, but for 2 weeks though as one week wasn't enough!

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The campsite was lovely and well looked after and maintained. The pitches are spaced out nicely, lovely play park and grass area for children to play. We were greeted on check in by a lovely man who was really helpful and gave us directions around the local area and recommendations of where to go for food. The toilet and showers were really clean, nice facilities that we were more than happy using. The area around the campsite was also lovely, garden Center and shop all in walking distance. We also enjoyed the Bollingey Inn nearby for a lovely home cooked lunch and a few drinks, highly recommend. Overall a great stay and would happily return.

Local attractions

The beaches at Perranporth are less than two miles from Reen Cross Campsite and, along with Newquay, are top foamy spots for north Cornwall surfing and kitesurfing. Drop into the tourist office to get discount vouchers for the local surf schools if you'd like to learn how to board. Perranporth is also home to the gigs and pints of The Watering Hole, the only UK pub to be set right on the sands, and like all the seaside towns around Cornwall has easy access to the South West Coast Path, the spectacular 630-mile trail running from Minehead in Somerset along the Cornwall and Devon coasts down to Poole Harbour in Dorset. From Perranporth, hike to Newquay in one direction or to St Agnes or Portreath in the other; all places have provisions for pitstops for traversing further should you and your feet wish. Highly viewsome teeing off at Perranporth Golf Club is about a mile away; horse riding stables within the same distance, and a play park and football field are close to the site. Within easy driving distance are days out at Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm, Newquay's Holywell Bay Fun Park, the Lappa Valley Steam Railway, and DairyLand Farmworld, the award-winning attraction near Newquay.
