  • Family-owned for several generations; adults only
  • In a valley between Truro and Falmouth
  • Immaculate amenities including disabled bathrooms
With a resident otter, owls, badgers, buzzards, woodpeckers and deer, Cosawes Park must rank as one of the prettiest spots in Cornwall, tucked into a valley between Truro and Falmouth near the village of Perranarworthal. Owned by the same family for several generations, this is a top pick for holidaymakers looking for a site with top-notch facilities but no unnecessary bells and whistles; there’s no noisy clubhouse, just oodles of gorgeous Cornish countryside to explore. The site can also accommodate motorcyclists (but no hens or stags, please – peace rules here). Please note that this site is for adults only. The immaculate ablutions block has toasty underfloor heating, plus separate disabled bathrooms. There’s a farm stall selling high quality local produce a five-minute walk away and several good foodie pubs nearby.

What customers say

This quiet, adult-only site offers beautiful rural views, spacious pitches, and spotless, heated facilities. Guests love the dog fields and great transport links. Despite occasional noise from nearby events or construction, most enjoyed the peaceful, well-kept grounds and friendly staff. Wi-Fi and drainage had minor hiccups, but overall, it's highly recommended.

Jenifer T.

FHU grass and gravel campsite (premium)

Liked We loved this caravan park and would definitely stay again. The facilities were warm and immaculately clean. The situation is very central for most of Cornwall.

Disliked Not really a dislike but the site maybe could put a sign up at the entrance telling tourers to drive all the way up to reception as you could turn around up there, as we weren’t sure where to stop and where reception was when we first got there.

Our EE phone reception wasn’t great but the site WiFi was perfectly adequate..

Thanks so much for your feedback. We take your point about the signage. We will try and improve that for the coming season. We are glad you loved the warm, clean facilities so much.

Local attractions

The southwest is stuffed with things to do, and Cosawes Park is convenient for all the top attractions. Many guests give into the temptations of the award-winning Eden Project, whose utopian greenhouse biomes transport visitors to tropical rainforests, Mediterranean olive groves and other exotic locations; other patches of paradise can be found at the various National Trust gardens nearby. Slither down to the atmospheric Lizard peninsula for stunning coastal scenery and gorgeous little fishing villages. Head a little further and you can tick Land’s End off your list too; you’ll find a handful of decent attractions, shops and eateries clustered on the headland. Henry VIII had impeccable taste in picking out locations for his fortresses, and Pendennis Castle in Falmouth is no exception. It has fab views, impressive interactive exhibitions and a good tearoom (natch). Nearby, on the harbour front, is the Maritime Museum, where you can find out all about the seafaring heritage of Cornwall. Finally, the area surrounding Cosawes Park is naturally blessed when it comes to outdoor pursuits: this section of coast has excellent sailing, as well as good walking and cycling in all directions. Try Bissoe Cycle for a good range of bikes and trailers for hire, and trails that run along converted tramroads and railway lines.
