General
- Family owned for several generations
- In a valley between Truro and Falmouth
- Immaculate amenities including disabled and family 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, it’s perfect for holidaymakers looking for a site with top-notch facilities but no unnecessary bells and whistles; there’s no noisy clubhouse or busy playground, just oodles and oodles of drop dead gorgeous Cornish countryside to explore. The site can also accommodate motorcyclists (but no hens or stags, please – peace rules here).
The immaculate ablutions block has toasty underfloor heating, plus separate disabled and family bathrooms. There’s a farm stall selling high quality local produce a five-minute walk away and several good foodie pubs nearby. The site also has super-fast wifi.

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Ah, very many thanks for some kind comments and positive feedback. |

From the manager...
Ooooer! So sorry to hear of your dislikes, though thank you for adding some comments which I am able to respond to positively hopefully. Gosh it bothers us enormously that you felt unwelcome! I'm not certain when you say 'residential' to whom you refer. We have seasonal pitches which are occupied by persons coming and going (who by the nature of seasonal pitches tend to be older) but these are not fully residential. Then we do have our residential park homes, but cannot imagine you having any contact with them as it's very separate from the campsite. We're certainly horrified if you felt anyone here made you feel unwelcome. I would invite you to perhaps send us an email with anything more specific which we can deal with. Pitchup booking system is linked to our own via something called an API. A bit of software that searches our availability for a spot and places your booking on the first pitch we have available (number consecutive). This is how you arrived on the pitch you did. Technology did it all for you without any intervention from a human! So no-one here 'shoved' you anywhere, for any perceived reason. It's a real shame you didn't say anything about the pitch when you arrived as we absolutely would've given you every opportunity to choose one you would've been happy with. Message to anyone reading this .... if we have another pitch available we're very happy for you to have whichever you want! Or, if you visited us previously, give us a call to reserve the specific pitch you want or add a note to our pitchup booking asking for a specific pitch. if it's available we're very happy for you to have it! We can't obviously do very much about the road, which I wasn't aware of being quite as you describe but fully respect your description if that's how you felt. Overall I'm glad you would still recommend us to your friends and look forward to welcoming them. |

Ouch! I didn't realise the bus was that expensive myself! Blimey!! I guess the lesson is indeed to buy a longer pass if you're with us for a length of time. There is a branch line train station quite close to us at Perranwell that has a small car park so that might also be a cheaper option. It's a lovely journey too across various viaducts both into Falmouth or Truro. |

We are situated off the A39 between Truro and Falmouth, with good access from the main road. From Truro, take the second right turning after the Norway Inn (on your right). Coming from the Falmouth direction, take the left turning after Cornish Garden Nurseries (which is on your right as you drive down the hill from Treluswell).
Local attractions
The southwest is stuffed with things to do – too many to list – 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.
Otherwise, there are family theme parks aplenty; both Flambards and the Crealy Great Adventure Park come highly recommended. Kids will also love DairyLand Farm World, where they can make lots of furry friends, get to grips with the mini tractors and romp around the soft play zones, or Paradise Park wildlife sanctuary, which also has a great jungle barn indoor play centre.
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.
