  • Spacious site near the centre of Cornwall
  • Easy access to the beaches of the north and south coasts
  • Pubs, restaurants and shops all a short drive away
Gno what? If you fancy a friendly, clean and quiet site in the open countryside of Cornwall, a short drive from the north coast's fab surf at Newquay and with a National Nature Reserve on the doorstep, you should give scenic Gnome World Holiday Park a whirl. The seven-mile Goss Moor Trail is opposite the park for easy ambles or bike rides along its flat terrain, part of the Goss Moor National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest for a spot of wildlife watching a quick walk from your pitch. By car, the beaches of Newquay and the north coast – Mawgan Porth, Crantock, Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach – are within a few minutes' drive, and the ports and coastline of the south, such as Mevagissey and Fowey, not much further. There's plenty of room on this spacious site for family games, alongside a well-equipped play area for little imps, a well-maintained toilet and shower block with disabled facilities near the touring and camping field, and a token-operated launderette. Pubs, convenience stores and restaurants are all a short drive away.

Helen K. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We stayed for a week.The facilities were really good and always kept clean. We needed to use the washing machines and that was really easy just asked at the house for some tokens which you have to pay for but was easy enough. The girls loved it we loved it. Most attractions are about 30mins from the campsite. There was a little park for the kids which we went up to once was really nice park. There was a train that went past our part of the campsite but if I’m honest you barely noticed it and it went by so quietly.

Disliked: I can’t really say I disliked anything to be honest.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The entire campsite was well maintained and extremely clean! Can't fault a single thing about it. We had a brilliant holiday made even better by having a lovely place to stay. Plenty of safe space for our 12,11 and 21 month old twins to run about and have fun. The staff were all extremely welcoming and very helpful. Thankyou for a brilliant stay!

Abbie S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely campsite and set up, we loved the size of the pitch and how much space we had in the field for our little one to play in! Efficient check in process and clean facilities. Really close to A30 so easy to find and not far from Newquay town and beaches! Lovely little park for children to play in too!

Disliked: Near train track - like literally a row of trees between our field and a train track. Also near airport so frequent low flying planes. Didn’t ruin the trip but something to bear in mind if you want a quieter place to stay! Also good vans on site could do with being better advertised. Facilities were clean but could do with upgrade and maybe more on the site for number of pitches and people using them.

Victory Vision 2 bedroom static caravan

Liked: Excellent place to stay, family run, on site park, just off the A30, and pretty central for most touristy places in Cornwall, including a short drive to spectacular beaches, and historic and beautiful harbour towns. A short drive to Dairyland and Paul's circus

Disliked: Nothing to dislike. Stayed in a static, plenty of space. Seats on the verandah to watch the sunset from.

Local attractions

Gnome World Holiday Park is peacefully placed away from the main tourist trail of Cornwall, but cunningly sited for easy access to all the best attractions of the county's north and south. The Crealy Great Adventure Park and Newquay Zoo are both less than seven miles away. If poss plan plenty of time at the beaches of both the north and the south: at the north, head for the world-famous surfing beaches of Newquay including Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach, both of which have surf shops for kit hire and lessons. If you don't fancy plunging into the foamy depths, Porth beach, also at Newquay, doesn't allow surfing in the summer season so has a quieter family feel. To the south, Mevagissey and Fowey are both popular ports with visitors, Mevagissey for its historic harbour and Fowey for yacht spotting and a trip on the passenger ferry to Polruan or back to Mevagissey. On land, there's loads to do too, like exploring Cornwall's old tin mines, part of a World Heritage Site or having a Cornish pasty and ice cream in every old fishing village dotted along the coast. Seafood should be sampled in Padstow and art in St Ives too, or spend a day at Cornwall's best known attractions, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, both easy to get to from Mevagissey and Fowey. If you fancy a flight, take a helicopter ride to the beaut Isles of Scilly from Newquay.
