  • 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

Great spot near Newquay, clean & spacious sites. Pool, bar, takeaway popular. Friendly staff. Some found loos a bit old-school & cash only was a pain. Bit noisy with seagulls sometimes.

Liked The team were very friendly and helpful. Party had to arrive separately due to medical appointment which was accommodated.
Facilities at site, pool was lovely and pitches not to close even on the small pitch we were able to have tent, table and chairs and 2 cars.

Karen C.

Unpowered grass campervan or tent site (four person)

Liked Great size pitch. Fantastic grounds. Very pretty flowers and well kept throughout. Nice touch with the fishing lakes. Nice quiet site which has seasonal residents.
Pool is a great addition too but we did not use due to weather. Shower and toilet blocks are clean but could do with an upgrade. Staff very helpful and friendly. Helped us out when we needed it, thank you very much!

Disliked The pizza from the on-site takeaway. £10 for a Tesco value pizza. Very disappointing. Nothing else tho, spot on.

Liked Nice big pitches, clean, quiet, good facilities (toilets, showers etc) close walk to supermarket and nice longer but easy walk into Newquay. All the staff were super friendly.

Disliked Beyond reception everything was cash, shop, takeaway, bar. Not a major issue but not something we were aware of until we got there

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site (six person)

Liked The area, location, amenities, staff, very positive.

Disliked The only negative we had is the cash only on site. We generally don't ever have cash, so this was a bit of a negative and prevented us taking advantage of the great things on site.

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).
