  • Quiet site with excellent views and good local walks
  • Pub/restaurant, village shop and play park within walking distance
  • A mile and a half from Perranporth beach
This peaceful Perranporth site is in properly prime position: it's set in spectacular Cornish countryside with first-rate views, and has easy access to Newquay and Truro as well as Perranporth. The nearest beach is a mere mile and a half away (walkable in about 30 minutes), and there's a pub/restaurant, garden centre and shop in Goonhavern, half a mile away along a lovely leafy bridleway (there's also a play park and football field up here for kids who need a bit of a run about). Reen Cross Campsite is a family-friendly park, welcoming families and couples only (and dogs, as long as they're well-behaved types and are kept on leads at all times while on site, ta). Pitches are large and well spaced out, on a flat camping field of around three acres, so there's plenty of room for the kids – and grownups – to play. Among the amenities are chemical disposal and facilities for ice pack freezing; new shower, toilet and laundry/washing-up facilities were added in 2017. Barbecues are allowed if raised off the ground.

Liked: Caravan was lovely and spacey. Views across countryside were awesome. Area was close to Perranporth. Campsite was clean and tidy. Welcome was friendly. Craig upgraded us before we even got there ... and we were really excited to have such a lovely caravan home for our stay. There was a cream tea waiting for us in the caravan 😀

Disliked: To be honest, nothing. It could have had an electric toaster and small plates ... (just trying to find dislikes). The cooker was gas and had a gas grill, but we are not really used to gas, (the gas grill was a little temperamental, which made us nervous to use it).

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Friendly, clean, peaceful and tidy campsite. Good for everyone. We had an eight year old child and he was able to bike and scooter round the site. We also had a dog and that was no problem either as there were lots of lovely paths and tracks to walk, one of them to Perrenporth (a lovely seaside town) and one to Goon Havern (which had a lovely garden centre, cafe, pub and amazing Londis shop selling fresh baked goods and deserts from local bakeries). Lovely play area for the kids. The owner was great and went above and beyond for us. Thank you Craig. We will stay here again when visiting Cornwall. 👍😁

Disliked: All was brilliant.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: We enjoyed seeing the rabbits both in daytime and nighttime. We loved the friendliness of the owner and workers on the site. The tent pitches were flat. The showers were a good consistent temperature. The shower block was clean. The site was well kept and looked after (e.g. grass cut, flowers watered). There was a washing machine and dryer available which we used once. Very handy. Fantastic location and great proximity to Perranporth town. We drove to numerous sites within Cornwall from our camp site, as well as walking into Perranporth itself, which took around 35 minutes. This was a quiet site, which really helped with quality family time, something which we really needed.

Disliked: One shower in the women's was shut off. After a few days of our stay the site got busier which meant waiting for a shower. However the wait wasn't very long.

Local attractions

The beaches at Perranporth are less than two miles from Reen Cross Campsite and, along with Newquay, are top foamy spots for north Cornwall surfing and kitesurfing. Drop into the tourist office to get discount vouchers for the local surf schools if you'd like to learn how to board. Perranporth is also home to the gigs and pints of The Watering Hole, the only UK pub to be set right on the sands, and like all the seaside towns around Cornwall has easy access to the South West Coast Path, the spectacular 630-mile trail running from Minehead in Somerset along the Cornwall and Devon coasts down to Poole Harbour in Dorset. From Perranporth, hike to Newquay in one direction or to St Agnes or Portreath in the other; all places have provisions for pitstops for traversing further should you and your feet wish. Highly viewsome teeing off at Perranporth Golf Club is about a mile away; horse riding stables within the same distance, and a play park and football field are close to the site. Within easy driving distance are days out at Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm, Newquay's Holywell Bay Fun Park, the Lappa Valley Steam Railway, and DairyLand Farmworld, the award-winning attraction near Newquay.
