  • 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.

What customers say

This big holiday park gets props for its roomy spots, cleanliness, and loads of amenities, great for families. Guests loved the friendly staff, good food, and on-site entertainment. Close to Newquay with bus routes handy. A few minor points: sloped sites, Wi-Fi strength, and dog rules in spots, though management has been responsive.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite (pet friendly, small)

Liked Spacious pitches and clean showers.

Disliked States its a dog friendly site but this wasn't the case as we could not take our dog out in an evening with us. We was rudely told to leave the entertainment area. I would not recommend if you have a dog and I would not return in the future.

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.
