  • Family and couples' site within walking distance of Newquay town
  • Owned and run by the same family for over 60 years
  • Pool, fishing ponds, play area, sandpit and shop
Cornwall? Newquay? But of course. Anyone having a hol in Cornwall at any time should pitch up near Newquay at some point: for famed surfing beaches, lively vibe, Newquay Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium… and easy access to the rest of the north Cornish coast as well as the beaches down south. And if you're looking for a family base within walking distance of Newquay? Pitch up at popular and friendly Trencreek Holiday Park, owned and run in the quiet village of Trencreek by the same family for over 60 years. This pretty and well-maintained park is a mere mile from Newquay town centre and five minutes' walk away from a regular bus route, passing tennis courts, swimming pools and Newquay Zoo on the way into town. Trencreek is a family and couples-only holiday park, where the family team here make their mission to provide a welcoming vibe and to keep all amenities to spotless standards. Everything's kept secure here: access is by car number plate recognition barriers, so only those booked on site are allowed in. Spend your days lazing by the heated outdoor pool or casting off – for free – in the coarse fishing ponds, or let the kids loose at the play area, sandpit and games room. By night, you could settle down for a barbecue by your pitch: an excellently-stocked shop is on site, a farm shop is within five minutes' walk and a supermarket is a mile away.

What customers say

Top spot! Campers love this well-kept, friendly site, a short stroll to Newquay's beaches and town. Spacious spots, clean facilities (heated outdoor pool!), and fair prices are big pluses. Staff are a dead set legend, always helpful. A few quibbles about older shower blocks and cash-only, but most reckon it's grouse and will be back.

Liked Man kann fußläufig den Strand erreichen, Campingplatz ist gut ausgestattet.

Disliked Wer einen ruhigen und überschaubaren Campingplatz sucht, wird hier leider nicht fündig. Insgesamt wirkt es eher wie Massenabfertigung und die Geräuschkulisse ist durch ein nahegelegenes Krankenhaus, Bahnhof und zahlreiche Möwen eher laut. Leider mussten wir unseren Stellplatz auch erst einmal säubern, da viele Plastikgummis auf dem Boden verstreut waren, die für unser Krabbelkind gefährlich werden konnten.
WLAN kostet separat und der kostenfreie Probezugang funktioniert nicht.

Sam W.

Powered grass site

Liked Clean site including the showers and toilets.
Close walk to Newquay, about 30 mins. Very hilly though.
I liked the lack of supervision but others might not. Basically do what you want. Open fires, washing lines etc all goes.
Ball games are scooters - let the kids crack on

Disliked Very close pitches.
Lots of noise at night from adults and children. Calmed after 11 p.m mostly (it was the summer holidays)
WiFi is overpriced and nonexistent.
Cash only site with no cash machine.
Pub could do with a good clean and refurb.

Liked Lots of great facilities, nice spacious pitches, friendly staff!

Disliked I found the toilet and shower block to be very dirty!! Also, sanitary bins were kept outside of the individual toilet cubicles which I felt to be unhygienic. I don’t mean to be negative but would rather be honest! Other than that, a lovely family site with everything nice and close together.

Powered grass site

Liked Lovely family and adult only site with cash only pub, shop and take away. Short walk to the centre of Newquay and the sea front

Disliked Toilets and shower block could do with some updating and regular checks as wasn't very clean and toilet was blocked.
The showers are warm don't expect them to be hot and are push button so you only get about 30 seconds per push to get a wash.
A nice shower block with hot running water would benefit this site as it's well used

Local attractions

Set off on foot or take the local bus for the mile-long journey into Newquay, one of the most famed spots in all the country for surfing and surf schools as well as the surfing tournaments at Fistral beach. Loads of other Newquay options await if the thought of boards bores you: have a potter around the zoo or aquarium, bask on some of the seven miles of golden sandy beach, or take the Newquay Discovery Trail on a gentle meander through town. The South West Coast Path runs through town too on its 603-mile meander from Minehead to Poole; there's an easy trail of less than a mile to Bedruthan Steps if you want to tackle the path with the kids. Just outside Newquay, Trenance Gardens and Leisure Park is a spectacular spot for a family day out, with Trenance Leisure Park and skate park, a boating lake and pedalo hire, and peaceful times afterwards among the trees, flowers and rose bushes of Trenance Gardens. The park is 10 minutes' walk from Trencreek. For day trips, try Truro (25 minutes' drive), Padstow (30 minutes), the Eden Project (35 minutes) and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth (50 minutes).
