Silver Sands Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 2 days ago 9.7 63 reviews

Fully serviced hardstanding pitches - in the central of our park - sunny pitches

A unique holiday for touring, motorhomes or just camping in cornwall

Lizard Peninsula site less than a mile from Kennack Sands
Small and peaceful site with a relaxed family feel
Well-established parkland with plenty of open space

If your heart is set on some lounging around the Lizard (the peninsula at Cornwall’s most southerly point), hightail it down to Silver Sands Holiday Park, where you can expect a warm-blooded welcome and natural attractions on an epic scale. Whether you plan on simply basking in the sun, or scampering about and getting your claws into Cornwall, this site is an excellent base. It’s just a half-mile skip down a pretty wooded path through the Lizard Nature Reserve to spectacular Kennack Sands, a fab family beach which allows dogs at its eastern end, and the area surrounding the park is full of hidden smugglers’ coves, scenic coastal villages and glorious beaches. Silver Sands is a small and peaceful site with a relaxed family feel; canine visitors are welcome, provided they're properly supervised.

FHU grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: We loved absolutely everything about this site! The location for us is perfect, only a short 12 min walk to beach, through beautiful woodland. The owner Allen and all the staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our pitch was large, easily accessible, flat with little hedges for privacy and to mark the boundaries. All pitches were flat that had hard standing, as were the grass pitches. We had a hard standing and grass fully serviced pitch, located as we had asked for near to the amenities. The amenities were very, very clean and well maintained, there was a small laundry, pot washing facility, family room then ladies and gents showers/toilets. Around the back of the block was the area to empty and wash the caravan cassettes.
The total tranquility of the site is wonderful, all that can be heard is the sounds from the sea and birds.
There are children’s play areas which are well maintained from what I saw, the children certainly seemed to enjoy the areas, it was so lovely to hear children actually playing nowadays. But not obtrusively.
The park is a good size, not too big nor too small.
There’s a dog walking area, with poo bin.
The camping areas are flat and situated within an area with some mature trees, I’m sure it would give privacy as there were also privacy/boundary hedges. There were electric points around the camping area.
There is a walk by the sides of the fields over to kuggar, again only about 10-12 mins to the small friendly local pub. There’s a Thai takeaway van there, Thursday to Saturday I think.
It’s about a 15 min drive to Helston for the supermarkets/pubs/restaurants etc . Which was perfect for us.
We fell in love with this site, and will be back many, many times.

Liked: Site was spotlessly clean, and very well kept.
Allen was very friendly + helpful.

Disliked: The hot water could have done with being hotter in dishwashing room. We didn't like to run it any longer, needs to be as hot as the water in the shower block, which was fine.

Local attractions

Aside from the beach within walking distance at Kennack Sands, Silver Sands Holiday Park is also close to one of the most stunning beach locations in Cornwall: Kynance Cove, whose turquoise waters could have been lifted from a postcard from the Med. Water babies can make the most of the milder sea temperatures (thanks to the Gulf Stream) and try diving, surfing or windsurfing at any one of the tuition centres along the local coast. Porthkerris beach has a family-run dive centre that is particularly renowned for its shore dives, and boat dives to local wrecks or to swim with basking sharks; it also has a comprehensive range of PADI scuba instruction. Walking enthusiasts can fill their boots with rambles along the stunning coastline to the Lizard point and beyond, or head inland, where a favourite expedition is along the banks of the Helford river, followed by a short hop on the ferry to the eponymous Ferry Boat Inn, for some well-earned refreshment overlooking the water. There’s all kind of fishy business nearby for those angling for a bit of action: freshwater fishing at Garras, beach fishing or sea-fishing trips from one of the local ports. Check out the iconic St Michael’s Mount or one of the other National Trust properties in the vicinity; garden groupies are spoilt for choice too, with many glorious green spots in the area including Glendurgan, Trevarno and Trebah Gardens, particularly spectacular in the earlier part of the year, when wild bluebells and primroses spring into bloom and there are breathtaking displays of camellias and azaleas. The area around Silver Sands is stuffed with fab family attractions for all ages too, from the doe-eyed beauties at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek to the swashbuckling fun of Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum, the Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary or the engineered thrills of The Flambards Experience theme park.
