  • 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 travel trailer campsite

Liked Lovely site, excellent outdoor heated pool (28c-30c), bar and restaurant, clean loos and showers. A kids play perk, table tennis table, shop, launderette, and EV charging. Excellent WiFi from our pitch.
Great team in the friendly cheerful Kev and Warren, who know you by name after a short while. Bar prices and options good. The even put on the middle of the night World Cup match.

Disliked Hard to fault. Hard to understand why more people aren't there.

Liked We enjoyed the bar and music in the evening

Disliked The loud music at the pool and the staff aloud blasting music from a pitch up the field that they said they couldn’t do anything about! It made the holiday feel stressed and not at all relaxed so if u like a Bit of peace and quiet I do not reccomend !

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Unfortunately every guest is treated equally and the other guest playing music in the afternoon at what we feel was a sensible volume is doing nothing wrong.
It’s a family holiday park and we don’t expect peace and quiet during main school holidays when we have a site full of children and an outdoor swimming pool.
Outside school holidays the site can be very peaceful.

Lovely welcome, very good quality caravan,…

Powered grass travel trailer campsite (water hook-up)

Liked Nice clean level pitches, good facilities, clean toilets / showers etc. Very friendly.

Disliked The bar / pool area has outside speakers which are playing loud music all day and into the evening, 7pm ish? Doesn't need to be that volume especially when you are pitched close to it. Once they were turned off it was a lovely and quiet site. Speed humps and potholes on the driveway into the site not great.

Powered grass tent campsite (large)

Liked The campsite is overall great! The ground is MOT topped of with a few inchs of topsoil / grass.... good for draining any rain away but a nightmare to peg so bring spares!!

The facilities are good water temp dips in and out in showers

Disliked Seems like the shop will try and over charge you and when I pointed it out they just gave me my money back without a word not even an apology....

Powered grass tent campsite (large)

Liked Site is wonderful, very pretty and open, clean, full of facilities and things to do. Kids had a great time. Would love to come again.

Disliked Very over priced for camping pitches, I don't agree that we was charged for an extra large pitch that certainly was not extra large and then charged further for having a Gazebo on our pitch that we had already paid for. Would not visit again due to silly prices and these extra unnecessary charges

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.
