  • Family-friendly site in the Cornish countryside next to a Fun Park
  • Newquay beach, steam railway and Eden Project within 20 minutes' drive
  • Discount entry to Fun Park with petting zoo, play barn and pony treks
Ah the Cornish countryside… The roll of the surf, the call of the chough bird and the purring of the alpacas… You’d normally find the latter in Latin America but that’s one of the many special things about at a stay at Springfield Fun Park. Bag a berth on this green site five minutes’ drive from the village of St. Columb Major, and you get discounted access to everything going on next door at the fun park for the duration of your stay (up to seven days). You might need that long to meet the alpacas Rolo, Morgan and Zeus, greet Bill the goat, bond with the bunnies, pony-ride your way round the park’s quartet of lakes and ancient woodland and hurtle about on the wooden castle, trampolines, slides and go-karts in the play barn… You can also take a puffing, chuffing, tooting train ride round the park, a crowd-pleaser for the smaller visitors but also giving their loving parents a much-needed sit down. The café serves drinks, hot meals and snacks between 10am and 4.30pm, making it a handy choice for a late breakfast or an early dinner. When the day trippers depart at night, there’s nothing finer than sizzling up an outdoor feast on a barbecue, gazing at the night sky and listening out for the occasional owl (the alpacas turn in early, apparently…).

Local attractions

Alongside forays into the fun park, there’s a fine spread of family activities and attractions close by. For a quick trip, go to see the owls at close quarters at the Screech Owl Sanctuary, five minutes’ drive away. For further wildlife spotting, it takes around 15 minutes to walk the trail through wide open heathlands and wetlands at the Goss Moor Nature Reserve, home to roe deer, butterflies and shrikes. A similar distance away, see more beasts at the aquarium and zoo in Newquay. The town’s a magnet for surfers and watersporters of every stamp, so get down to the beach if that’s your bag, or take a short clifftop trek along the South West Coast Path to the quieter Whipsiderry beach for rockpooling and cave exploring. Up for more train time? Take the Lappa Valley Steam Railway (15 minutes) for whistling whistlestop rides through the countryside or walk and bike along the now-repurposed railway line of the Camel Trail, 18 miles of level paths and cracking views beginning 20 minutes away in Padstow. Also 20 minutes away, and drawing visitors from all over, is the Eden Project, vast biodomes encasing an indoor rainforest; the elegant blooms of the Lost Gardens of Heligan are just over half an hour away.

Powered grass travel trailer, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Campsite was lovely and quiet, lots of wildlife and animals. Plenty of open space and the children could roam free,
The fun park is very rustic and could do with some updating but the children loved it and had lots of fun.

Zac A.

Powered grass travel trailer, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This was our second time camping here. Facilities are good especially the fun park. You have to pay for pony rides and the Disney rollercoaster all other rides are free. It sometimes amazes me how they make money, offering 99% of rides and indoor soft play for free for the children to enjoy. It’s location is good as it is slightly inland and you can enjoy a peaceful evening as there are similar families with children who can enjoy the park with no worries as parents have a 360 view of the field.

Disliked The country lane where the park is situated is only wide enough for one car. It was a bit chaotic as boardmasters was on and traffic was high. That was my own fault, didn’t check when booking! Nothing to do with Springfield fun park.

Sophie powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked As always a warm welcome, a spacious campsite, with a central play area that allows you to keep an eye on the kids whilst giving them some freedom. Access to the farm and play barn keeps everybody happy and allows for lazy days not driving anywhere. There is always something new to do or see. Great value for money.

Disliked Unusually some inconsiderate campers this year, noisy until gone midnight one night.
One of the shower/toilets didn't have a light and another kept flooding.
