  • Family-friendly Cornwall site with lots to do for all ages
  • Dogs welcome, with a dog-walking field on site
  • Heated outdoor pool, paddling pool, playground and games room
Ever felt you really wanted to let loose? And – even better – let the kids run about safely while you bask on a sun-soaked terrace in a suntrap valley, sipping a cocktail from the on-site bar? Why, one can almost hear the ice cubes clinking from here… Don’t get uptight at the thought of Cornwall being crowded in peak season: award-winning and family-friendly Calloose Caravan Park has over eight and a half acres of countryside at Hayle near St Ives, and is designed for those who want to get away from the hordes. And for dogs: the park is dog friendly, with fields on site for walkies. The park is teeming with things to do: free-spirited sprogs will be well set for stuff to keep them busy, between the paddling pool, playground, multisports and all-weather court, and a games room with pool table, driving and shooting games and gift machines. Naturally the grownups are smartly catered for too: as well as the spacious sunbathing terrace, non-kids have a heated pool, a bar, a takeaway and a shop selling hot and cold food plus drinks, as well as other essentials, and – although the youngsters won’t be interested – a launderette, a recycling point and chemical waste points at each toilet block. The Calloose team prides itself on its customer service and attention to detail, and the entire park is also carefully landscaped to welcome local wildlife and flowers – even the most Xbox-gripped youngster might be persuaded to let loose…

What customers say

This park gets a solid wrap for its super friendly staff, top-notch cleanliness, and great amenities like a pool and playground – a ripper for families. Most raved about the entertainment and its spot for exploring Cornwall, but a few mentioned showers needing a spruce-up, the shop's limited stock, and pricey food/drinks. A handful also had a bit of a frosty reception from management.

Liked I liked the Site location, great for getting everywhere. The facilities are modern and very well furbished. They are clean, well maintained and easily accessible from the whole site. The showers are hot with good sized, well furnished cubicles. The food is excellent and well priced, the portions are large and you really get your moneys worth. The Bar is fully stocked and serves at pub prices. The evening entertainment was always great and to a very high standard. There is a Bingo game every other night with prizes well worth playing for! The Arcade is well stocked with all the machines working properly. There is plenty of terrace and veranda space to enjoy the evenings at the club house, with all the Arcade, pool, football/basketball court and a great play park for the kids, all in view of the social area. There's a Dog/wet suit wash and a nice washing up area. The dog walk park is large with a nice brook fed pond. It's fully fenced in with a thick hedge covered fence. The shop is well stocked with more than you would expect and at reasonable prices. Finally the Staff are tireless, friendly, helpful, full of local knowledge and an all round group of very nice people. The Owner takes pride in every aspect of his site and you can feel it when you stay here.

Liked We booked a last-minute camping trip to Cornwall and stayed at Calloose Caravan Park with an electric hook-up. Check-in was quick and easy, and the whole site was spotless — showers and toilets were regularly cleaned to a high standard.

The entertainment was fantastic; we joined in with bingo and enjoyed an amazing performance by The Budgie Smugglers — a brilliant band! The location was also perfect, with multiple beautiful beaches just 20 minutes away (at least four within easy reach).

We enjoyed it so much that we booked an extra night, and Warren made the process completely hassle-free so we could keep our set-up in place. The staff were friendly, the food was great, and the whole experience was relaxing and fun.

We’ll definitely be returning next year!

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Plenty of room on pitch, grounds were lovely and facilities good, everything you need. Friendly staff
Lovely roast dinner in the club

Disliked Shower block not as clean as we’re used too. Toilets didn’t always have toilet paper.
Showers literally only stay on for a few seconds so frustrating pushing the tap all the time

Great site for families, thank you and we will see you again.

Liked Great site which is central to so many fantastic sights and beaches. Friendly staff, great communication, amenities were always clean and looked after. The outside pool and park set up was lovely to have a drink whilst children play. We will definitely be coming back.

Powered grass caravan site (water hook-up)

Liked We liked the cleanliness and the grassy flat pitches. The shower block and toilet block were immaculately clean and having a shower and toilet in one cubicle worked well for privacy. The washing up facilities were clean and well lit.
We had to takeaway pizza and chips on one of the evening and it was all home-made fresh hot and really tasty.
Was good to be able to bring our dog

Disliked Unfortunately, our pitch was quite close to the swimming pool area as we were a couple not a family, It was a little bit noisy so would’ve liked a quieter pitch.
We felt it was a little bit pricey for us as we weren’t using all of the facilities, but if your family it would be brilliant.

Route directions

Travelling to Calloose is much easier now that you have the M5 to Exeter and a motorway style dual carriageway to Bodmin. There are only 20 miles of ordinary carriageway roads remaining to our park. Leave the A30 at the roundabout north of Hayle and drive through the town until you see the large viaduct. Drive under the first arch and turn left at the small roundabout and take the B3302 road towards Helston. Leedstown is 3.5 miles along this road. Do not follow your satnav at this point. Just before Leedstown (if coming from Hayle), turn left down Trenerth Road. Calloose is at the bottom of the hill. Turn left onto the lane where flagpoles and signs are situated. Follow the lane until you reach the caravan park. The reception is signposted. Calloose is located centrally within west Cornwall. St Ives is only 9 miles away, Penzance only 10 miles, Lizard Point 18 miles, and Newquay only 25 miles away. Please note that public transport is limited in this area of Cornwall.

Local attractions

Pack your wetsuit, your swimsuit, your walking boots and your glad rags to soak up the contrasts of beautiful and active Cornwall, with most of the main attractions within easy driving distance; and eye-watering scenery, coastline and teeny towns and villages all within reach. You might want to throw your golf clubs and fishing gear into the car boot or caravan too: there are five spectacularly scenic golf clubs within ten miles of Calloose, from the challenging seaside course of the West Cornwall Golf Club three and a half miles away, to England’s most southerly course, Mullion Golf Club at Helston. Fishing holidays are available all over and easy to arrange, including coarse and reservoir fishing (the rainbow trout-filled waters of Tree Meadow Trout Fishery are just half a mile from Calloose), and sea fishing from a hi-tech boat that can detect passing shoals as well as possible shipwrecks below the surface. Or venture west to the 140 or so islands of the gorgeous Isles of Scilly by ferry from Penzance or air from Penzance or Land’s End to see the capital St Mary’s or the world famous gardens at Tresco. The beaches of Cornwall are rightly world famous and you could spend your whole break around the craggy beauty of the north or the subtropical sands of the south. Calloose is centrally based, so pick a beach a day and work on your tan: the Towans at Hayle, three miles of golden sands, are 3.4 miles away; the surf of Praa Sands within six miles and Porthkidney/Lelant beach within seven miles (mussel foraging here is highly recommended). Elsewhere within a quick drive you’ll reach beautiful Marazion – take a trip from here to the island of St Michael’s Mount – and the family-friendly surfing beaches of Portleven and Portreath. St Ives, Cornwall’s arty capital, is just over nine miles from Calloose: visit the acclaimed gallery Tate St Ives to see almost 70,000 works of art from 3000 artists, including the national collection of British art. Nearby Newlyn is also known for its art – it was a popular artists' haunt in the 19th century. Top off your cultural tour with a visit to the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, carved from the clifftop and with the feel of a Roman amphitheatre.
