  • Lively family park five minutes' drive from the coast at Looe
  • Huge range of facilities including cabaret room, bar, diner and café
  • Indoor pool, toddlers' pool, swim lessons, sports room and shop
‘We’re all going on a summer holiday…’ And a spring, autumn and, er, winter one too… At Tencreek Holiday Park, the nearest park to lovely Looe in Cornwall, you and the family can arrive in all seasons as a base for the best of south-east Cornwall and Devon, or just stay on site to spoil yourselves silly with the lashings of facilities and entertainment for all ages. And the views are pretty tenfastic too… Tencreek is aimed at families and couples, and as such has any number of tiptop things to try: a kids’ club just for starters, and an adventure playground and sports pitch for small sorts to whirl around outside. More grownuply, the park also has the Castaway entertainment complex with large cabaret room, bar, Deano’s Diner and indoor sports room with darts and pool; there's also family entertainment every night from the Yellow Coats and Tencreek mascots. Don’t forget the dog either: the park is dog friendly and has a dog walking area with access to the public footpath. If it rains, the kids won’t even notice once you get them to the heated indoor pool and toddlers’ pool, which are also open all year and free to use (there are classes such as Aquafit and kids’ swimming lessons available at a small additional charge). The thoughtful folk at Tencreek have ensured that the pool is always lifeguarded, and there are even adults-only sessions at times, if you can manage to get the kids dried off and packed off for a bit… The park also has a fully-stocked food shop, a café with takeaway and a modern laundry.

What customers say

This is a clean, friendly site with spacious pitches and lovely views. Facilities are generally well-kept and spotless. The on-site shop is well-stocked and reasonably priced. Many guests enjoyed the pool and entertainment. It's great for exploring Looe/Polperro via coastal paths, though return walks can be steep. Some found pitches sloped; paid WiFi.

Rodney T.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 8 metres)

Liked Great clean and tidy site.
Nice location with some lovely walks

Disliked The only thing I could comment on was the fact that they didn’t install drop curbs on the hard standing bays, so it was impossible to get the caravan on with a motor mover.

Powered grass campsite (maximum 6 metres)

Liked Perfect location. Super clean park. Lovely staff

Disliked Showers weren’t great- to get a warm shower the pressure has to go down so much, I could hardly get under the water. Would be great if dogs could go into the pub/restaurant

Mary F.

Powered grass campsite (maximum 6 metres)

Liked Beautiful, clean and friendly site. We stayed there for a quick getaway two night break. The swimming pool was fabulous, warm and clean. We had a takeaway delivered to our van on one of the nights and the food was delicious & promptly delivered. The walk down to the SW coast path was lovely.
The showers and loos were immaculate & well maintained.
The shop was very well stocked with pretty much everything you might need.

Disliked The site was nowhere near full, so I couldn't understand why we were all jammed in together, rather than being spread out a little.
Also in September it is nice to get the last of the summer sun, but we were under two trees & had no sun at all (pitch 42), which was a shame because there were other empty pitches which were bathed in sunshine all day.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (maximum 8 metres)

Liked View, but this has nothing to do with the site management. They’re lucky they have it!

Disliked Staff, (got the feeling her was an inconvenience ) pitches, (gave us one cramped with people when we asked for a view if possible) all view pitches were empty! Lorry woke us up at 7! Reversing and doing god knows what

Clare W.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Good location for a coastal walk to Looe or Polperro, clean facilities and a nice view. The food onsite was good quality.

Disliked I have never left an unfavourable review but this really did spoil or stay.

Facilities - We paid over £40 per night for a non electric pitch (which was discounted via pitch up) but thought would be fair due to the facilities including the pool. Unfortunately the pool, area around the pool and changing rooms were tired and dirty.

Non electric pitch - There were lots still available and the staff did show us where the available non electric pitches were we could swap to, but none of the non electric pitches were flat. I would have been happy to pay an additional fee to move, we asked if we could swap to a flat pitch (loads available) one right in front of the one we were allocated - the cost was an extra £30 per night!! To be fair, these were electric grass pitches (we don’t need/ use electric hook up as we have solar power) but an extra £30 per night is silly. The staff did advise us of the nearest trago mills shop (20 minutes drive away) but they did not have levelling chocks, So we found some breeze blocks on the site and made the best of it….2 uncomfortable nights sleep at an angle. In 3 years travelling in a camper all over the UK I have not had to use levelling chocks (lesson learned and now purchased) but we never had a site refuse to accommodate a move where it was at all possible. It would also be helpful if it mentioned you may be on a slope on the information/ booking site and if the campsite shop sold levelling chucks.

Local attractions

Oodles of activities and attractions await once you’ve dragged yourself off site: pootle around Looe’s Harbour Quay, Banjo Pier and the 16th-century Old Guildhall in East Looe, or take a boat to Looe (St George’s) Island, where just once a year on a very low tide it’s possible to stroll to it across the sand. Sea-based sightseers can go from Looe to Fowey and take the ferry to Polruan or Bodinnick and the former house of Daphne du Maurier (Daphne and Rebecca fans can also go ghost hunting at Cornwall’s legendary coaching house at Bodmin Moor, said to be the county’s most famous smuggling inn). Most day trippers take a car for the 12-mile Looe-Fowey journey, but if you’re feeling energetic enough and want to see some stunning coastal scenery, the local South West Coast Path hike goes from West Looe to Polruan via Hannafore, Talland Bay and Polperro. You officially have full permission to get a bus or taxi back…
