  • Secluded, peaceful park in a rural setting a few miles from Praa Sands
  • Within 30 minutes' drive of Land's End, St Ives and Falmouth
  • Nature trail, games field and play barn
Avoid the madding crowds on your summer sojourn to Cornwall and stay at this green, secluded and peaceful park instead: Polladras Holiday Park has had previous guests waxing lyrical about its peace, its quiet and its lovely location 15 minutes' drive from Helston and pretty Porthleven harbour. The park is in a rural setting four miles from the beaches of Cornwall’s south coast and within easy reach of coastal and countryside walks. It’s in a top spot too for south-west Cornwall explores with Penzance, the Lizard Peninsula and Land’s End no more than half an hour’s drive away. Yet blissful peace will always be yours when you potter back to pitch, as family-friendly and dog-friendly Polladras is set over nine acres and has no noisy bar, clubhouse or evening entertainment. This is a place that gives a good nod to eco-friendly aspects: low wattage bulbs are used throughout and recycling is paramount. Heaps of info is displayed about non-car ways of getting around the local area, in the form of bus timetables on display and details of walks from the park given to all guests, and the well thought-out nature trail leads to a games field with play barn, football goals and a climbing frame to wrestle the kids away from their consoles.

Hillview Meadow primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite (wild, sloping)

Liked Location excellent , kitchen very nice and to have a fridge for people to use was very helpful. The playground excellent for kids. Everything was perfect apart from one thing. Definitely recommend.

Disliked The rules on the email said that your tent needs to be up before 9 pm. Around 11 pm someone arrives and was really noise putting a tent up just arrive midnight was not really good. We were a group of cousins and one of them was arriving around 10 pm and we respect the rules, because they didn’t arrive on time, they have to book a hotel nearby. If I knew that people were putting a tent up around midnight… that was the only disappointment that we have.

Gold powered grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Campsite was easy to find due to the great directions given. On arrival picked up our pitch map as described & pitched up on our spacious hard standing. Site is exceptionally clean & tidy and was so peaceful. Wet room was very clean & tidy. Chose this site as I had a running race in Helston so location was perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Disliked Nothing not to like

Local attractions

Within half an hour or less you’ll reach most of the main highlights of south-west Cornwall as well as many beyond: St Ives, Falmouth and the gardens of Glendurgan, Trebah and Trewithian are all close by, and the town of Helston, Cornwall’s second oldest (after Marazion), is three miles from the park. Stunning beaches are all around: Praa Sands 10 minutes’ drive away; Sennen Cove and its consistent waves for surf, and Porthleven, Pollurian and Mullion for fishing, more watersporting and rockpooling. From Porthkerris beach, towards Falmouth, you can learn to dive and look for the shore’s shipwrecks, while Kennack Sands and Kynance towards the Lizard are the ones to take the paintbox to. Newquay and the famed surf beaches of Cornwall’s north coast are within seven miles. For walkies, take to the countryside around Lower Polladras using the park guides, or have some gorgeously scenic strolls along the South West Coast Path to Mullion, Marazion, Mousehole or Penzance. On the north coast, try the eight-mile hike from Portreath to Godrevy, stopping off for blackberry ice cream or apple cake and clotted cream at the famed Hells Mouth café along the way.
