  • Family and couples' site within walking distance of Newquay town
  • Owned and run by the same family for over 60 years
  • Pool, fishing ponds, play area, sandpit and shop
Cornwall? Newquay? But of course. Anyone having a hol in Cornwall at any time should pitch up near Newquay at some point: for famed surfing beaches, lively vibe, Newquay Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium… and easy access to the rest of the north Cornish coast as well as the beaches down south. And if you're looking for a family base within walking distance of Newquay? Pitch up at popular and friendly Trencreek Holiday Park, owned and run in the quiet village of Trencreek by the same family for over 60 years. This pretty and well-maintained park is a mere mile from Newquay town centre and five minutes' walk away from a regular bus route, passing tennis courts, swimming pools and Newquay Zoo on the way into town. Trencreek is a family and couples-only holiday park, where the family team here make their mission to provide a welcoming vibe and to keep all amenities to spotless standards. Everything's kept secure here: access is by car number plate recognition barriers, so only those booked on site are allowed in. Spend your days lazing by the heated outdoor pool or casting off – for free – in the coarse fishing ponds, or let the kids loose at the play area, sandpit and games room. By night, you could settle down for a barbecue by your pitch: an excellently-stocked shop is on site, a farm shop is within five minutes' walk and a supermarket is a mile away.

What customers say

A grand spot, this! Lovely staff, great pitches and the pool's a treat. Handy for town and the beach too. Some found the showers a bit old-fashioned, and it’s cash only, but mostly brilliant, with folk keen to come back.

Liked Good location for all beaches around Newquay. On-site bar, kids amusement arcade, takeaway and small shop for the essentials etc. well kept site with clean toilets and showers plus the bonus of the heated swimming pool.

Disliked Not enough beds round the pool area, bar, shop and takeaway only open for limited times plus they only except cash “no card” payments.

Nigel K.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely people, easy to deal with and a quick walk through to Newquay centre, zoo and beaches. Big pitches.
Facility blocks do what they promise to and a decent shop area.
My boy loved the pool.

Disliked No card payments on site. Take cash.
WiFi costs are inexpensive but you pay per device, not per pitch.

Katherine T.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Such a great site. Travelled with our autistic son, emailed ahead to request a quieter pitch away from the bar and they were so accommodating. The site has great amenities but not too much to overwhelm our son. The shop, bar and amusements are all cash only but so so cheap. Pool was an amazing addition to the site and gave my wife and I the opportunity to actually relax on holiday as the kids were so happy playing. Toilets and showers were always clean and stocked with toilet paper. An absolute gem of a site for families.

Local attractions

Set off on foot or take the local bus for the mile-long journey into Newquay, one of the most famed spots in all the country for surfing and surf schools as well as the surfing tournaments at Fistral beach. Loads of other Newquay options await if the thought of boards bores you: have a potter around the zoo or aquarium, bask on some of the seven miles of golden sandy beach, or take the Newquay Discovery Trail on a gentle meander through town. The South West Coast Path runs through town too on its 603-mile meander from Minehead to Poole; there's an easy trail of less than a mile to Bedruthan Steps if you want to tackle the path with the kids. Just outside Newquay, Trenance Gardens and Leisure Park is a spectacular spot for a family day out, with Trenance Leisure Park and skate park, a boating lake and pedalo hire, and peaceful times afterwards among the trees, flowers and rose bushes of Trenance Gardens. The park is 10 minutes' walk from Trencreek. For day trips, try Truro (25 minutes' drive), Padstow (30 minutes), the Eden Project (35 minutes) and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth (50 minutes).
