  • Family-friendly Cornwall site with lots to do for all ages
  • Dogs welcome, with a dog-walking field on site
  • Heated outdoor pool, paddling pool, playground and games room
Ever felt you really wanted to let loose? And – even better – let the kids run about safely while you bask on a sun-soaked terrace in a suntrap valley, sipping a cocktail from the on-site bar? Why, one can almost hear the ice cubes clinking from here… Don’t get uptight at the thought of Cornwall being crowded in peak season: award-winning and family-friendly Calloose Caravan Park has over eight and a half acres of countryside at Hayle near St Ives, and is designed for those who want to get away from the hordes. And for dogs: the park is dog friendly, with fields on site for walkies. The park is teeming with things to do: free-spirited sprogs will be well set for stuff to keep them busy, between the paddling pool, playground, multisports and all-weather court, and a games room with pool table, driving and shooting games and gift machines. Naturally the grownups are smartly catered for too: as well as the spacious sunbathing terrace, non-kids have a heated pool, a bar, a takeaway and a shop selling hot and cold food plus drinks, as well as other essentials, and – although the youngsters won’t be interested – a launderette, a recycling point and chemical waste points at each toilet block. The Calloose team prides itself on its customer service and attention to detail, and the entire park is also carefully landscaped to welcome local wildlife and flowers – even the most Xbox-gripped youngster might be persuaded to let loose…

Electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: Small campsite that felt safe and well contained for my eldest to explore independently. Good food at the bar and reasonably priced. Decent sized pitches that felt spacious enough to have some privacy. Well away from any main roads so nice and safe and quiet at night.

Disliked: Would have liked a little more fresh produce in the shop and a lunch service at the restaurant/bar. Toilets got very messy, but that’s down to other visitors rather than staff.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: Toilets and showers were ok plenty hand soap. Outside pool was great for the kids and the park. Campsite in a great location for all we wanted to do in Cornwall.

Disliked: Pitches are very small and crammed in. I was told that my children 8 and 5 were not allowed to play on the very little amount of grass around our van and told if they wanted to play to go on the park! The site owner was quite rude towards me when I asked why! Pitches are not level and require a motor mover to get on if you don't have one don't even try! Our water drain was blocked and absolutely stunk. WiFi did not work neither.

Route directions

Travelling to Calloose is much easier now that you have the M5 to Exeter and a motorway style dual carriageway to Bodmin. There are only 20 miles of ordinary carriageway roads remaining to our park. Leave the A30 at the roundabout north of Hayle and drive through the town until you see the large viaduct. Drive under the first arch and turn left at the small roundabout and take the B3302 road towards Helston. Leedstown is 3.5 miles along this road. Do not follow your satnav at this point. Just before Leedstown (if coming from Hayle), turn left down Trenerth Road. Calloose is at the bottom of the hill. Turn left onto the lane where flagpoles and signs are situated. Follow the lane until you reach the caravan park. The reception is signposted. Calloose is located centrally within west Cornwall. St Ives is only 9 miles away, Penzance only 10 miles, Lizard Point 18 miles, and Newquay only 25 miles away. Please note that public transport is limited in this area of Cornwall.

Local attractions

Pack your wetsuit, your swimsuit, your walking boots and your glad rags to soak up the contrasts of beautiful and active Cornwall, with most of the main attractions within easy driving distance; and eye-watering scenery, coastline and teeny towns and villages all within reach. You might want to throw your golf clubs and fishing gear into the car boot or caravan too: there are five spectacularly scenic golf clubs within ten miles of Calloose, from the challenging seaside course of the West Cornwall Golf Club three and a half miles away, to England’s most southerly course, Mullion Golf Club at Helston. Fishing holidays are available all over and easy to arrange, including coarse and reservoir fishing (the rainbow trout-filled waters of Tree Meadow Trout Fishery are just half a mile from Calloose), and sea fishing from a hi-tech boat that can detect passing shoals as well as possible shipwrecks below the surface. Or venture west to the 140 or so islands of the gorgeous Isles of Scilly by ferry from Penzance or air from Penzance or Land’s End to see the capital St Mary’s or the world famous gardens at Tresco. The beaches of Cornwall are rightly world famous and you could spend your whole break around the craggy beauty of the north or the subtropical sands of the south. Calloose is centrally based, so pick a beach a day and work on your tan: the Towans at Hayle, three miles of golden sands, are 3.4 miles away; the surf of Praa Sands within six miles and Porthkidney/Lelant beach within seven miles (mussel foraging here is highly recommended). Elsewhere within a quick drive you’ll reach beautiful Marazion – take a trip from here to the island of St Michael’s Mount – and the family-friendly surfing beaches of Portleven and Portreath. St Ives, Cornwall’s arty capital, is just over nine miles from Calloose: visit the acclaimed gallery Tate St Ives to see almost 70,000 works of art from 3000 artists, including the national collection of British art. Nearby Newlyn is also known for its art – it was a popular artists' haunt in the 19th century. Top off your cultural tour with a visit to the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, carved from the clifftop and with the feel of a Roman amphitheatre.
