  • Family-friendly pitches surrounded by greenery
  • Next to a bus stop with connections to Padstow and Wadebridge
  • Playground and ball games space; hot showers and wetsuit/drying area
Small but nicely formed, the pitches at The Laurels Holiday Park are interspersed with a mixture of hedges and shrubs to give guests a bit of extra privacy. The site is also next to a bus stop with connections to Padstow and Wadebridge. The essential facilities at this Cornwall site, two miles from Wadebridge, are impeccably maintained: there’s free hot water in the washing-up area and showers, plus hairdryers, a washing machine and freezing for ice packs. There’s even a special area for washing and drying wetsuits – it gets regular use given the excellent surfing and watersports nearby… Barbecues and campfires are a fab idea in a place like this, and the folk on site have made such things simple: there are firepits available to hire (only a limited number though, so booking's essential) and there's a stock of logs, kindling, firelighters and flo gas on sale too. Pint-sized visitors can mess about on the boat in the playground, which is well-equipped with climbing frames, swings and a large trampoline, plus a space for ball games. The site is also Fido-friendly, with a small enclosed area to dogs to do their business off lead.

What customers say

This well-maintained campsite offers immaculate, clean facilities with privacy provided by hedged pitches. Its location is highly convenient for accessing local attractions and public transport, with a bus stop directly outside. While some guests noted proximity to a main road and occasional traffic noise, most found it to be a peaceful and well-organised site, with friendly and helpful staff. Many visitors expressed a desire to return.

Rob G.

Gold electric gravel touring pitch

Liked We really liked the attention to details on the site; in particular the contact via Whats App to give us instructions. Unfortunately; we were there during storm Goretti; but the owners kept us fully updated on the developing situation; and made sure we were OK.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. The site suited our needs perfectly for a few days winter get-away.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks Rob - really glad you appreciated the WhatsApp messages. We find in winter this is the best way to communicate with guests as we are not out and about on site as much as other times of the year. You also then have a direct contact for us if you need any help with anything during your stay.
Hopefully we can welcome you back in calmer weather!
Best Wishes :)

Very clean with generous hedged pitches

Liked Showers and toilets. Tidy site with easy access.

Disliked No EV hook-ups

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the good review.
We don't have EV hookups yet, as there are so many places within a 5-minute drive that provide charging should you need it. Best to check with the site before you book if that is something that you need.
Best Wishes :)

Gold electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Overall, the site was very well laid out with all amenities easily accessible. Public footpath at the entrance of the site which lead to the local pub and slightly further down to the Camel Trail, this was a good walk but for this time of year was quite boggy in places.

From the manager: Thank you very much for the fantastic review - we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay. We do hope you would return :)

Gold electric gravel touring pitch

Liked This lovely site offers good level access and solid gravel pitches ( grass also available in season). EHU and disposal facilities. An ultra clean shower and toilet block. Beautifully decorated for the Xmas holiday season, too.

Disliked Quite close to the main road but not too bothersome.

Local attractions

The Laurels is three miles from the riverside market town of Wadebridge (the bus stops right outside the site), where guests will find good eating and shopping. A little further up the road (six miles or so) is Padstow, which has TV chef Rick Stein’s famously fabulous seafood restaurants and cookery school as well as some fine surfing beaches. Boardmasters can also find ripping fun at Polzeath (20 minutes' drive), and the world-famous waves of Newquay are only 15 miles away. Fans of the Doc Martin TV series should visit the fishing village of Port Isaac (25 minutes) to see the doc’s cottage and many other pretty 'Portwenn' locations. This being Cornwall, there are oodles of interesting things to see and do – too many to list here, but to start you off: it’s only a 35-minute drive to the legendary Tintagel Castle, half an hour to the fascinating biospheres of the Eden Project, or 35 minutes to the fishing village of Boscastle. Guests could also make a day trip to Lands End (perhaps combined with a walk around the attractive harbour town of Penzance), to the National Maritime Museum and dockyards at Falmouth, or to St. Ives, to explore the colourful harbour and art deco splendour of the Tate Gallery.
