  • Family park with easy access to main Cornish attractions
  • A 10-minute drive to the world-famed surf of Newquay
  • Next to a popular pub with a beer garden
Surf! And a bar, and a beer garden – and easy access to Cornwall's famed attractions like the Eden Project 14 miles away: you might want to stay at Carvynick Holiday Park for quite some time. A 10-minute drive from the world-famed surf and the surf schools of Newquay, Carvynick is set in Cornish countryside among spectacular scenery, and centrally located for easy-drive day trips to the likes of St Austell, the Eden Project, Newquay Zoo, Bodmin Moor and the Clay Trails. In between days out exploring the local land, have an afternoon or evening in a pub run by chef Adam Handling (as this establishment is separate from the holiday park, you'll need to check directly with them for opening times and availability; it's a popular spot so booking ahead is strongly advised). Carvynick is pet friendly.

What customers say

A peaceful spot with great country views, friendly staff, and clean amenities. Guests loved the spacious pitches and handy location. The pub's good food was pricey for some. Occasional Wi-Fi, waste, and lighting/signage issues were noted.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Adam’s restaurant which is not owned by the campsite, spectacular views if you get a front pitch

Disliked dump ground at bottom, poor cleaning of facilities, no dishwashing facilities, very empty

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: restaurant is owned by us, we lease it out!!, toilets and showers are cleaned 3 times daily you must have used them when someone else came out of the shower block, there is dishwashing facilities, 2 sinks, washing machines, fridge freezers, and electric points, you could have asked, and some one and we would of helped you, the reason it would of been quiet on your stay jeff, is that we get really busy for boardmasters, which is a music festival, , which is the day after you left all the very best

From the manager: sorry maria you did not like your stay , depending on what time you arrived, as we are not open 24 hrs, but you would have had a call and a welcome pack left out, with a map in it!! laundry is at the top of the site, and all sign posted. noisey drunk camp? you should have reported them to reception , we never had any one say about the noise, i am sorry it kept your children awake .

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Easy to get to off the a30, pitch was great, easy to get into Newquay. Great views at pitch.

Disliked Reception wasn’t the easiest to find, couldn’t find any facilities to wash up plates and dishes.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi
thankyou very for your review, the reception is the biggest building on the site, very hard to miss Bright Blue, and just along from reception is a washup place, where you can do dishes, and charge your phones etc , your friend got the welcome pack and was explained every think, and it is all marked out on the map where every think is, i am sorry he did not tell you, as you were arriving later than him. i am glad you liked the views, i do hope you got to see a sunset!!.

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked View from the tent.

Disliked We were given the outdated map and couldn't find the laundry. The fridge froze our milk. The last day the mains which we were using was swapped hence someone was in a tent during our absence to connect it to our lead. Really disappointing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: i dont think you had a out dated map all our maps are the same , the fridge, may be it was turned up to hi, , but they are new fridges, and all summer we have not had a problem so far,. you should have reported that some one was using your electric. if these matters, are not reported, we cant help you.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked This is our place away from home. Where to start…

First off Alison is such an incredible host. Asked in advance for a particular pitch and got it no issues.

Location for us is perfect right in the middle of Newquay and st Austell.

The views around the site are incredible and so relaxing and we got the most perfect sunset every night.

All facilities were clean throughout. Anytime I go Cornwall this will always be our stay.

Disliked This is a real nit pick and has nothing to do with the site. But the pub and some of its patrons were parking on pitches and then making some right noise one night.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Very pleasant site with a hidden gem of a pub

Local attractions

The surf, sands, harbour, shops, restaurants and nightclubs of Newquay are a 10-minute drive from Carvynick Holiday Park, along with many surfing professionals in the town's surf schools to give lessons if you want to give it a go. A more relaxed vibe can be had in Cornwall's other fishing towns and villages like Padstow, Mevagissey, Fowey and St Ives, all with smart shops, arts and craft outlets, restaurants and cobbled streets. From any town, the spectacularly scenic walks of the South West Coast Path are easily reached, while if you want a more challenging hike the moorlands of Bodmin are an easy drive away. If you're cycling, pedal the Camel Trail from Bodmin to Padstow or along St Austell's clay trails a few miles from the site; bike hire for all sizes is available at both. The famed Eden Project is 14 miles away, and it's also easy to get to a wide range of family attractions like the Blue Reef Aquarium and the pools of Leisure World.
