  • 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.

Gold powered grass travel trailer, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Excellent compact site. Great location to explore the foot of Cornwall from, the long drive was worth it. Really good facilities with clean grounds, well attended and maintained toilets and showers (always had plenty of hot water). Great for the children with indoor and outdoor play opportunities. No issues with the electric hook up or the WiFi. No issues with anything so 10/10 for customer service.

Disliked Could partner with local independent shops or restaurants/pubs to help out, but no major negatives.

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

Liked The Clean Facilities. Kids loved the football goals! Something so simple yet kept them entertained for hours.

Disliked WiFi didn’t reach our pitch. But if you’re near the shower/toilet block it worked perfectly so I tended to sit on the bench for a lot of the time.

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

Liked Our family loved this site for every reason 😍
It’s clean, tidy, all amenities, park and games room for the children and a very good price especially if you are in the Hill Meadows which was even more peaceful. There’s no signal and WiFi not great but we love being off grid 😍
The staff are very helpful and to hand when you need them even to extend your stay 😍
Highly recommend 🤩

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.
