  • Family-friendly pitches surrounded by greenery
  • Next to a bus stop with connections to Padstow and Wadebridge
  • Playground and ball games space; hot showers and wetsuit/drying area
Small but nicely formed, the pitches at The Laurels Holiday Park are interspersed with a mixture of hedges and shrubs to give guests a bit of extra privacy. The site is also next to a bus stop with connections to Padstow and Wadebridge. The essential facilities at this Cornwall site, two miles from Wadebridge, are impeccably maintained: there’s free hot water in the washing-up area and showers, plus hairdryers, a washing machine and freezing for ice packs. There’s even a special area for washing and drying wetsuits – it gets regular use given the excellent surfing and watersports nearby… Barbecues and campfires are a fab idea in a place like this, and the folk on site have made such things simple: there are firepits available to hire (only a limited number though, so booking's essential) and there's a stock of logs, kindling, firelighters and flo gas on sale too. Pint-sized visitors can mess about on the boat in the playground, which is well-equipped with climbing frames, swings and a large trampoline, plus a space for ball games. The site is also Fido-friendly, with a small enclosed area to dogs to do their business off lead.

From the manager: Thanks Paul!
We are so glad you had a great stay. I will look at the WiFi repeaters on the campsite to see if 1/more than 1 are down, as although not fantastic, you should have been able to get enough WiFi to browse, open emails etc.
Many thanks and hope to welcome you back.

Bronze power optional grass campervan or tent campsite (small)

Liked Quiet well kept very clean site - clear instructions for arrival

Disliked Our pitch was quiet but some may be troubled by road noise - no gents urinals and toilet seats won’t stay stood up - located off busy main road and going anywhere requires a car or other transport as walking is not really safe - these are minor issues as the site itself is lovely

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for the great review!
Regards the location of the site - there are a couple of walks from the site to the local pub and into wadebridge via country lanes that are as much as you can describe any road as "safe"
We are located directly on a bus route with stops at our entrance that many motorhomers who park up and don't move for their stay make full use of.
We hope to see you again,
Best Wishes :)

Local attractions

The Laurels is three miles from the riverside market town of Wadebridge (the bus stops right outside the site), where guests will find good eating and shopping. A little further up the road (six miles or so) is Padstow, which has TV chef Rick Stein’s famously fabulous seafood restaurants and cookery school as well as some fine surfing beaches. Boardmasters can also find ripping fun at Polzeath (20 minutes' drive), and the world-famous waves of Newquay are only 15 miles away. Fans of the Doc Martin TV series should visit the fishing village of Port Isaac (25 minutes) to see the doc’s cottage and many other pretty 'Portwenn' locations. This being Cornwall, there are oodles of interesting things to see and do – too many to list here, but to start you off: it’s only a 35-minute drive to the legendary Tintagel Castle, half an hour to the fascinating biospheres of the Eden Project, or 35 minutes to the fishing village of Boscastle. Guests could also make a day trip to Lands End (perhaps combined with a walk around the attractive harbour town of Penzance), to the National Maritime Museum and dockyards at Falmouth, or to St. Ives, to explore the colourful harbour and art deco splendour of the Tate Gallery.
