  • Family-friendly park two miles from the Newquay seafront
  • On 80 acres of parkland in the Cornwall countryside
  • Pool complex, four eateries, play areas and an entertainment venue
If you're taking the family to Cornwall, you should find that Hendra Holiday Park is a mightily handy base. Spread across 80 acres of parkland two miles from the Newquay seafront, the family-owned park is very much family-friendly. Surrounded by the Cornwall countryside, it's also within 10 minutes' drive of a handful of beaches should you want to spend the day on the sand or surfing. Fistral beach, 10 minutes' drive away, is especially handy for the latter. On site, the aforementioned family-friendly facilities begin with the Oasis Fun Pools complex which has three flumes (yes, three) and an outdoor pool. At mealtimes, there are four on-site eateries to choose from. There's also an entertainment venue, a ninja assault course and an adventure golf course where kids can let off any remaining steam. Indoor soft play and outdoor playgrounds add to the list of family activities.

A super clean, well-kept park with large sites & friendly staff. Lots of free on-site activities make it great for families. Convenient for beaches & attractions. A few guests mentioned some sloped sites, occasional WiFi glitches, and dog restrictions. Management’s responses show they’re working on guest feedback.

Powered grass campsite

Liked - prachtig onderhouden camping, veel groen, bloemen
- Faciliteiten
- Grote ruime plekken
- De hartelijkheid en vriendelijkheid van de medewerkers
- Animatie
- Zwembad
- Locatie van de camping was top
- Lekker eten en drinken
- Heel behulpzaam, ook tijdens boeken!

Disliked Niet blij is zo negatief, maar minder blij:
- Wij waren 2 weken voor het zomerseizoen en de camping was duidelijk bezig met voorbereiden van het hoogseizoen (logisch!) maar onze vouwwagen stond direct aan de enige hoofdweg op de camping dus al het verkeer, tractoren etc kwamen daarlangs. Vanaf 7.00 hoorden wij al de eerste tractoren en auto's (ook van mede kampeer bewoners hoor)
- Tijdens het hoogseizoen openen ze 'the Bardeck'. Super gezellige live muziek, maar wel tot 21.30, ook die zat tegenover ons wat voor ons kleinere kindjes het wel moeilijk maakte om dan te slapen...
- De camping is voor onze smaak iets te groot, maar dat verschilt natuurlijk per gezin.
- De afwasruimte aan het toiletgebouw mag iets schoner gehouden worden, ik moet eerlijk zeggen; de mensen op de camping maken er echt een troepje van! dus de camping kan hier zelf niet heel veel aan doen, maar het is nog een kleine aandachtspunt.
- Wij zaten 1,5 week buiten de zomervakantie van de Engelsen zelf dus toen was het best rustig op de camping, dit merkte je met name in de zwembaden. Ik denk dat als je in het hoogseizoen komt de faciliteiten wat klein zijn ten opzichten van het aantal mensen die op een camping zitten.

Samenvatting; Als je wat meer van rust houdt is dit best een grote camping met veel animatie maar ook de Engelsen zelf maken vaak veel herrie (tot laat in de avond). Al zal dit verschillen per veld.
Ik zou bij boeken vragen op welk veld je wordt geplaatst want waar wij stonden is het best heel druk en luidruchtig (door verkeer en animatie)
Voor wie dat niet erg vindt is het natuurlijk top :-)
Mooie locatie, prachtig grote plekken!

Local attractions

With so much to do on site, you may find it hard to prise yourself out of Hendra’s landscaped country setting, but busy Newquay is only minutes away. Aside from its renowned beaches and surf, the town has a zoo and aquarium, great golf courses, horse riding, sailing and watersports, plus eateries of every flavour, and plenty of retail therapy if needed. On the outskirts of Newquay, the Lappa Valley Steam Railway makes a great day out for kids and big kids alike; and if you travel a bit further, you’ll find some of Cornwall’s most popular tourist haunts, such as the Eden Project, the Tate Gallery at St. Ives, St Michael’s Mount, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Land's End and the National Maritime Museum.
