Retanna Holiday Park

View prices & book Last booked 5 days ago 6 3 reviews

Friendly park in a Cornish wildlife haven
Halfway between Helston and Falmouth
Large playground and games field

Retreat to Retanna Holiday Park, where the emphasis is on friendly service and maximum R and R in quietly beautiful surroundings. There’s no rowdy entertainment or bar here, just rabbits hopping around the neighbouring fields (and there are no dogs allowed)... The modern facilities include a smart ablutions block with free hot showers, a laundry room, fridge freezer and washing up area. There’s also a large playground for the kids and a recreation field. Let the owners know your preferences in terms of pitch location (quiet, near to the facilities or play area, etc - just use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page) and they’ll do their utmost to make your dreams come true.

Anonymous Apr 2023

Powered grass campsite

Liked: N/A

Disliked: No-one there to greet me. Rang both contact numbers multiple times and left messages. No answer and no reply. After 30 mins of waiting I drove round the site looking for someone. Eventually the handyman said to just park anywhere. Toilet block is outdated and smelt absolutely horrible. Did not feel safe and would never return. Badger field is not flat and right next to main road so traffic noise constantly.

Powered grass campsite

Liked: Plenty of space per pitch in a really convenient location

Disliked: No on-site shop for even basics (bread, milk etc) WiFi wasn’t working for the duration of our stay and toilet block smelt of sulphur which was quite a lot to manage whilst using the facilities. (This hasn’t been a problem when we stayed previously which is why we rebooked)

A good, tidy site with all the basic amenities you need.

Primitive grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Showers and toilet block were bright, clean and in good condition. All other facilities we needed were easy to find.

Disliked: Check in was very basic - "Drive to the field and park where you like"!

Local attractions

Halfway between Helston and Falmouth, Retanna Holiday Park’s location is brilliant for exploring all the best-loved towns in Cornwall, plus the craggy coves, quaint fishing villages and subttropical gardens of the Lizard Peninsula. Porthleven, Praa Sands and Falmouth offer miles of golden sands that are great for families and surfers alike, and all manner of watersports can be found in the surrounding area. Several tourist magnets are very close to Retanna: the National Seal Sanctuary in the lovely village of Gweek, the mining museum, gold panning and ghost tours at Poldark Mine, and the eclectic amusements of the Flambards theme park. Visitors prepared to venture a little further will find Cornish classics such as the Eden Project, Lands End and the Minack Theatre less than an hour away.
