Family-owned for several generations; adults only
In a valley between Truro and Falmouth
Immaculate amenities including disabled bathrooms

With a resident otter, owls, badgers, buzzards, woodpeckers and deer, Cosawes Park must rank as one of the prettiest spots in Cornwall, tucked into a valley between Truro and Falmouth near the village of Perranarworthal. Owned by the same family for several generations, this is a top pick for holidaymakers looking for a site with top-notch facilities but no unnecessary bells and whistles; there’s no noisy clubhouse, just oodles of gorgeous Cornish countryside to explore. The site can also accommodate motorcyclists (but no hens or stags, please – peace rules here). Please note that this site is for adults only. The immaculate ablutions block has toasty underfloor heating, plus separate disabled bathrooms. There’s a farm stall selling high quality local produce a five-minute walk away and several good foodie pubs nearby.

Electric gravel touring pitch (comfort)

Liked: Everything at this site was first class. The facilities were kept immaculately clean as were all the general areas of the site. Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Yes there was building work going on opposite our pitch but we were told at about this beforehand and are so glad it did not deter us from staying at Cosawes. It did not impact or affect our stay at all. And despite the works going on it was still a peaceful site. Would definitely recommend and stay again

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The site was extremely clean with staff always on hand to ensure things ran smoothly. While we were there some new development was going on to extend availability for tents and motor homes. This resulted in us being placed on a not so desirable pitch which was not flat for a tent. Next to the site they had a dog walking area which was excellent large area again well maintained

Disliked: Hard to dislike anything really

Electric gravel touring pitch (comfort)

Liked: We stayed 2 nights here there’s nothing there but it’s a well kept site with good transport links into Truro, Falmouth and Newquay. We caught the bus from just down the road into Falmouth. There is a nice pub about 10 mins walk away The Norway inn which was nice to sit and have a few drinks. Road is very busy mind but it’s paved. Very quiet site. Facilities are very clean and warm. We didn’t have the best of views looking at a building site but we were informed about that prior to arrival and didn’t bother us too much as we spent most of our time off site. We were given an information pack when we arrived which I thought was good.

Electric gravel touring pitch (comfort)

Liked: Superb facilities. Great staff. Lovely location and the dog walk meadow was amazing.

Disliked: Noisy dusty building work going on 10 ft from our pitch. Yes we were warned on booking ( who really looks through all the guff?) Yes we were warned in the welcome email too but could see there were options for us to move. Never offered even after one night we could have been offered a different pitch for the last 2 nights. On the positive it will be lovely next year!

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for your fabulous comments about the staff, facilities and location. Sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your pitch. Obviously there is not much we can do about the building works while they are ongoing, apart from make people aware ahead of their stay as you mentioned, but we absolutely would have done everything we could to relocate you to a different pitch had you asked. The building works should be completed by the end of this summer season, and after that the field should look fabulous. We hope that you will reconsider not visiting again and that we can welcome you back again sometime in the future.

Very contented

Liked: Excellent spotless facilities. Plenty of showers, washrooms and toilets. Laundry room is well equipped, even had an iron and board! Quiet location. Central position for discovering Cornwall.

Disliked: Shame we were not told that a bus stop is in the caravan park grounds (only discovered on our day of departure!)

Local attractions

The southwest is stuffed with things to do, and Cosawes Park is convenient for all the top attractions. Many guests give into the temptations of the award-winning Eden Project, whose utopian greenhouse biomes transport visitors to tropical rainforests, Mediterranean olive groves and other exotic locations; other patches of paradise can be found at the various National Trust gardens nearby. Slither down to the atmospheric Lizard peninsula for stunning coastal scenery and gorgeous little fishing villages. Head a little further and you can tick Land’s End off your list too; you’ll find a handful of decent attractions, shops and eateries clustered on the headland. Henry VIII had impeccable taste in picking out locations for his fortresses, and Pendennis Castle in Falmouth is no exception. It has fab views, impressive interactive exhibitions and a good tearoom (natch). Nearby, on the harbour front, is the Maritime Museum, where you can find out all about the seafaring heritage of Cornwall. Finally, the area surrounding Cosawes Park is naturally blessed when it comes to outdoor pursuits: this section of coast has excellent sailing, as well as good walking and cycling in all directions. Try Bissoe Cycle for a good range of bikes and trailers for hire, and trails that run along converted tramroads and railway lines.
