  • Family and couples' site within walking distance of Newquay town
  • Owned and run by the same family for over 60 years
  • Pool, fishing ponds, play area, sandpit and shop
Cornwall? Newquay? But of course. Anyone having a hol in Cornwall at any time should pitch up near Newquay at some point: for famed surfing beaches, lively vibe, Newquay Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium… and easy access to the rest of the north Cornish coast as well as the beaches down south. And if you're looking for a family base within walking distance of Newquay? Pitch up at popular and friendly Trencreek Holiday Park, owned and run in the quiet village of Trencreek by the same family for over 60 years. This pretty and well-maintained park is a mere mile from Newquay town centre and five minutes' walk away from a regular bus route, passing tennis courts, swimming pools and Newquay Zoo on the way into town. Trencreek is a family and couples-only holiday park, where the family team here make their mission to provide a welcoming vibe and to keep all amenities to spotless standards. Everything's kept secure here: access is by car number plate recognition barriers, so only those booked on site are allowed in. Spend your days lazing by the heated outdoor pool or casting off – for free – in the coarse fishing ponds, or let the kids loose at the play area, sandpit and games room. By night, you could settle down for a barbecue by your pitch: an excellently-stocked shop is on site, a farm shop is within a five- minute drive and a supermarket is a mile away.

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite offers spacious pitches, clean facilities, and friendly staff. Its excellent location provides a short walk to Newquay town and beaches. Popular amenities include a heated outdoor pool, bar, and amusements, making it ideal for families. While many praised the cleanliness and value, some noted dated facilities and occasional noise. The cash-only policy for on-site venues is a point to be aware of.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Warm welcome and support from the staff.
Very clean and tidy facilities.

Disliked The shower/toilet block is something from the 1960s. No door to the showers and toilets. Freezing cold even in May. A hand dryer that did not dry and even washing up was like stepping back in time. And the WiFi needs a rethink too.

Jacqueline P.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Pretty site. Lovely friendly staff in reception. Plenty of toilets and sinks. As it was early in the season bar shop & cafe were closed but we were informed of this before hand. Shower block kept nice & clean

Disliked No where near enough showers, only 3 in both the womens & men's. Also no shower suitable for disabled. I need a seat to shower so I couldn't shower all weekend. I couldn't get WiFi access but you only get 20 minutes free anyway.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Jacqueline, we have a seperate disbaled bathroom right next to the blcok you were using along with two family bathrooms. The site map given on arrival shows the location of the facilites. The big shower block doesn't open for another two weeks when it gets busy. Please mention if you visit again and we will show you where it is, regards Julliette

Local attractions

Set off on foot or take the local bus for the mile-long journey into Newquay, one of the most famed spots in all the country for surfing and surf schools as well as the surfing tournaments at Fistral beach. Loads of other Newquay options await if the thought of boards bores you: have a potter around the zoo or aquarium, bask on some of the seven miles of golden sandy beach, or take the Newquay Discovery Trail on a gentle meander through town. The South West Coast Path runs through town too on its 603-mile meander from Minehead to Poole; there's an easy trail of less than a mile to Bedruthan Steps if you want to tackle the path with the kids. Just outside Newquay, Trenance Gardens and Leisure Park is a spectacular spot for a family day out, with Trenance Leisure Park and skate park, a boating lake and pedalo hire, and peaceful times afterwards among the trees, flowers and rose bushes of Trenance Gardens. The park is 10 minutes' walk from Trencreek. For day trips, try Truro (25 minutes' drive), Padstow (30 minutes), the Eden Project (35 minutes) and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth (50 minutes).
