  • Award-winning park two and a half miles from Perranporth
  • Set within 21 acres of quiet Cornwall countryside
  • Free fishing on three lakes; wildlife areas and recreation spaces
A ‘national treasure’ is just one of the many (many) comments from very (very) happy guests of award-winning Perran Springs Holiday Park at Perranporth in Cornwall, of which it might respectfully be suggested that if you, the other half, the kids and the dog don’t have a rollicking good time, you might need to have your pitching licence revoked. Location first: Perran Springs is two and a half miles from Perranporth, five minutes’ drive from Newquay and centrally placed to explore award-winning beaches, family days out and a whole heap more. It's surrounded by 21 acres of Cornish countryside in a secluded sheltered valley, with countryside views from the site, and flowers, shrubs and trees blazing colour across it. And now for activities… The park has three lakes for coarse fishing, all stuffed with tench, bream, rudd, roach and carp of up to 20lb. The site tackle shop sells tackle, rods and other fishing bits; angling expert Andrew is on hand for advice. Fishing is free for all guests. Perran Springs is nature conscious and has set up stuff all over to encourage local wildlife and curious minds, including a nature pond, nature trail and a butterfly bug, and bee garden; look out on and around the site for moths and lizards too. If the kids still need to let off steam, the playground, Fox Recreation Meadow and running around the various open spaces should tire them out nicely. The award-winning showers and other amenities are kept ‘spotlessly clean’ (another guest accolade) and include a baby changing room and an outdoor area for rinsing wetsuits. Finally (woof), even the family canine will be content here, as Perran Springs is dog-friendly. The local pub, the New Inn within walking distance at Goonhavern, accepts well-behaved dogs in its beer garden. All in all, a park to put a definite spring in your step…

Nicola A.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a great site. First time here and there will be back. Toilets and showers were immaculate. Plenty of bins, washing up facilities nicley dotted around (shame not covered if raining). Nice small park for children, fishing lake which was nice to walk around and throw some bread in to entice the fish. Field space for outdoor games. WiFi room if you couldn't live without your phone (didn't use this). Short drink to Perranporth beach. 15 mins to Newquay.

Disliked Wash facilities not under cover.
Phone signal poor (this didn't bother me)

From the manager: Dear Guest,
Thank you for writing your detailed review after your first stay with us. We hope you choose to stay with us again.
Kind Regards,
Perran Springs

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked How clean, quiet and relaxed the site was. Amazing location with easy access to Newquay, Perranporth and more. Clean facilities.
Kids enjoyed the space and park area.

Disliked Only small thing is if you shower before 8am or after 10pm then there’s no hot water.

From the manager: Dear Guest,
Thank you for your review and high score, we hope you will visit us again. With regard to the shower temperature, they are fed by new commercial rinnai boilers which are digitally set and heated on demand. Just press the shower button a couple of times, so any cooled water in the pipe if flushed through. There is hot water available 24hrs.
Kind Regards,
Perran Springs

Local attractions

Perran Springs Holiday Park is just inland from Cornwall’s north coast. On land, Perranporth Golf Club is north of the town and the long-distance South West Coast Path covers a 12-mile hike from Perranporth to Newquay via Fistral beach. Nearby Newquay isn’t just about the surf and its zoo: have a go at its golf club with views over the Atlantic or take a puff on the Lappa Valley Steam Railway on the town outskirts; horse riding, boat trips and deep sea fishing can all be arranged from here too. Or stay very close to home: Perran Springs has private access to a footpath going past the Carn Moor Nature Reserve and Conservation Area which is near the park.
