  • Quiet family-run park in the grounds of a north Cornwall hotel
  • A 15-minute drive to Port Isaac or the edge of Bodmin Moor
  • Outdoor swimming pool, games room and bar
Checking out spots to stay between the north Cornwall coast and Bodmin Moor? Then it might be time to check in at Lanarth Hotel and Caravan Park, a family-run site in St Kew Highway, just off the A39. This spacious park has 10 acres of peaceful gardens to relax in, plus nicely level plots that are easy to access (so no need to stress about squeezing down those pesky West Country lanes). You also get use of the hotel's well-maintained facilities, including a games room with pool tables, a cosy fully licensed bar and an open-air pool between late May and mid-September. Holidaymakers also have a purpose-built toilet and shower block a short walk away from the pitches. There's a pub that serves hot food, a Cornish pasty shop and a hairdresser's a short distance away in the village, while those who need to stock up on groceries have supermarkets in Wadebridge (10 minutes' drive), which is also a stop-off point on the gorgeous Camel Trail. Bringing a bike here (or hiring one in town) opens up 18 miles of almost totally traffic-free vistas, so make sure to earmark a day for some relaxed backcountry pedalling. After days of exploring, once back at base you could chill around a barbecue, order a nightcap at the bar or simply take advantage of the low levels of light pollution and gaze up at the night sky…

What customers say

A clean, well-kept campsite with generous pitches and welcoming staff. Guests loved the serene vibe, lovely grounds, and unique wildlife, especially the peacocks. The outdoor pool and bar were hits. Facilities were mostly clean, though some found them a bit dated. Great base for exploring Cornwall, though peacocks can be loud.

Liked Owner was very friendly and showed us where the best place was to pitch up and where all the amenities were.
Lovely bar with pool tables and great little swimming pool, kept the teen happy. Wasn't to far from some great takeaway and beautiful beaches.

Sophie W.

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked It is a small family run business, very friendly and helpful. Choice of pitches on arrival, Motorhome pitches were great, spacious and very quiet. There are quite a few Peacocks and Peahens just roaming about that were very friendly and liked to visit, they provided lots of entertainment along with the resident cat, that was also super friendly.
The area itself is very peaceful. Positioned down a long drive, very safe for children.
Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.

Disliked There is nothing we disliked about this site. My daughter would have liked a playground

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Such a lovely holiday. We felt so peaceful and safe, and as a mother on my own with my 5 year old son this is so important to me. The family who run the site were so welcoming and helpful, and they work hard to keep the place spotlessly clean and tidy.

We loved the swimming pool and beautiful grounds. We loved the friendly peacocks and waking up to see rabbits playing just outside our tent in the mornings!

Local attractions

Almost opposite the site is Saint Kew Golf Course (two minutes' drive), a 4550-yard-long course with a driving range that welcomes both adult and junior players. (If your golf isn't up to much, there's also a farm shop and cosy café next door.) For other active jaunts, you could feel the wind in your hair by walking on the splendid South West Coast Path (15 minutes) or lope over rugged Bodmin Moor (15 minutes), perhaps venturing out to famed 18th-century smuggling haunt Jamaica Inn (30 minutes). For beaches, you could launch a trip to Newquay (30 minutes), where a mixture of sandy shores, surf culture and classic arcades pretty much guarantees good times all round. There's also an assortment of more low-key beach spots like Polzeath (20 minutes), Harlyn (25 minutes) and, if you fancy sampling the south coast, Lantic Bay (50 minutes). Inspired by the site's leafy layout? The Eden Project (30 minutes) and similarly world-class gardens like The Lost Gardens Heligan (45 minutes) are within easy reach. Finally, there's potential for day trips full of Arthurian heritage at Tintagel Castle (30 minutes).
