  • 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…

Powered grass tent site

Liked Clean and tidy site.
Toilets and showers were well kept and well organised.
Pool was in excellent condition.
A pretty spot close to lots of fun local spots central to St Ives and Penzance.

Disliked Strict about what side you pitched your tent on and what side you parked your car.

A regular plug in pitch is smaller than other campsites.

You are not allowed camp fires.

 Hayley K. 1 review

Fully-serviced gravel caravan site

Liked Lovely little campsite. Shower block very clean. Outdoor pool heated which the kids used almost daily despite rain. Club house provides evening entertainment, we loved the bingo! Park and amusements room. Lots to keep kids happy. The staff were really friendly & helpful. Beautiful site, well maintained, cute little stream runs through the middle. Food was good & reasonably priced.

Disliked Showers could have been hotter & only lasted 6 seconds before having to press the button again. WiFi wasn’t great.

Liked Park was tidy enough.

Facilities were basic but okay.

Disliked Make sure you drive as it’s very remote and a distance to beaches, local towns and train stations.

The showers need some work. They’re push button showers and run out within 15 seconds. The water is also not very warm which isn’t ideal with a child.

Dog friendly park and I did see some piles of dog poo on the ground.

The campsite isn't very well lit, so if you come back late at night you WILL need a torch to get around.

Also saw a large (dead) rat on my last day.

I was placed on a north facing pitch despite south facing being available. Consequently my tent and its contents remained damp for most of the day. The pitches opposite were empty for the duration of my stay so I can’t understand the logic of being placed there.

There was solid rock in the ground which made hammering pegs into the ground almost impossible. Thankfully I brought ample pegs as I bent more than I actually used!

One member of staff is quite unfriendly/blunt. My parents came down for an impromptu night and stayed nearby. I asked if they could come to my pitch for breakfast, but was met with “No”. Not “I’m sorry but that’s not possible”, just “No”. He told me they could book a day pass at £8 each but it was literally a flying stop for less than an hour to visit our pitch, have a bite to eat and head off for the day and it was “No”. Customer service skills REALLY could use some work! Not being funny but even prisoners are allowed visitors! I accept they can’t let lots of people in especially with their own cars, but is it because they don’t want unregistered visitors or more about being a money maker?

My biggest concern is I feel more can be done with the security of the park. The park has no barrier and cars aren’t given a windscreen sticker like every other campsite I’ve stayed on, which was a big concern for me. I’m a solo mum with a young child and the fact that anyone can walk in uninvited bothered me immensely. Reception is placed at the back of the park which struck me as odd, especially when there’s no barrier at the entrance. It’s a campsite in a very remote area, and a long unlit track doesn’t feel very safe to me. I guess one could argue that’s why I wasn’t allowed my parents to come to breakfast, but with security being as lax as it is, anyone can rock up anyway - I was just considerate enough to ask and do as I was told.

Liked We recently had a lovely stay in this park. I would recommend to everyone who doesn't like overcrowded places. Our all family enjoyed the heated outdoor swimming pool. We had a lots of fun as a family. We enjoyed the best pizza ever during our lunch break. Stuff was sooooo friendly a helpful. 10 points for the cleaning lady, as showers and toilets have been cleaned regularly. Great location, close to Hayle and St. Ives. We played football,table tennis and the kids enjoyed the playpark.

Signature 2 bedroom static caravan (open balcony)

Liked Very friendly staff and family run atmosphere. Clean beautiful well kept grounds. The caravan was lovely. Pizza night on Thursday was excellent and gold value for money. The pool was brilliant and enjoyed the small arcade and the shop was very handy.

Disliked Could have done with a few more sunbeds. However can not really fault the place.

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 scenic 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.
