  • Manicured pitches surrounded by greenery
  • Spotless amenities including hot showers and wetsuit/drying area
  • Playground and space for ball games
Small but perfectly formed, The Laurels Holiday Park offers manicured grassy pitches surrounded by pretty greenery and flowers to give guests a bit of extra privacy. 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.

Bronze power optional grass tent or campervan campsite (small)

Liked: A lovely little park, the grounds were maintained well nice and clean. The toilet and shower block was very clean, nice hot showers and hairdryer to use. Washing up area inside and outside all immaculate. With washing machines and dryers. This is a very nice park not far out from Padstow. Everyone was friendly a member of staff asked if we were all ok. I’d definitely stay here again.

Disliked: WiFi a little slow

LARA A. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Gold powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Really nice quiet site, super clean, friendly family run business. To offer Free WiFi was great but not amazing so just didn’t use it.

Disliked: 1 singular little minus for me was when showering in the evenings the lights in the shower rooms timed out quickly, so I had to open the shower door and poke my head out to get the lights to come on again in the dark as movement in the shower cubicle didn’t help.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Lara, Thank you so much for the fantastic review and score! Apologies regarding the sensor in the ladies showers - we shall investigate and sort it out asap. We are so pleased you found the site quiet, clean and friendly. We really hope you will recommend to others and return yourselves! Best Wishes :)

Silver primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The site was very neat and clean, nicely landscaped with bushes and trees all around. The amenities very clean.

Disliked: Not so much as a dislike but some tents where a little close to each other so loud snores could be heard.

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.
