  • 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.

Molly C.

Gold electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely and quiet camp site, all of the facilities were very clean. We thought the self check in worked incredibly well and saved having to walk around trying to find a reception. The dog area was a great addition for toilet time for our boy and he loved having a sniff around, it was great having a bench in there too. We used the bus service to travel to padstow which was incredibly easy and followed the map for the camel trail to head to Wadebridge and returned using the busses again. Overall we 100% recommend the site and hope to return sometime in the future.

Disliked The road was a bit noisy at some points but it didn’t effect our stay

Chelsea M.

Bronze electric optional grass campervan or tent pitch (small)

Liked Possibly one of the nicest sites we have stayed on, booked our pitch last minute. Communication was great we knew exactly where to go.

First site we have ever been on where you feel like you have your own private pitch!

I wish every site was as nice as here, the toilets and site were both immaculate.

Would definitely come back here!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Wow! Thank you so much Chelsea. We are really pleased you enjoyed your time here and even booking last minute found you had all the necessary information to locate your pitch easily.
We look forward to welcoming you back :)

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.
