  • Lively family park five minutes' drive from the coast at Looe
  • Huge range of facilities including cabaret room, bar, diner and café
  • Indoor pool, toddlers' pool, swim lessons, sports room and shop
‘We’re all going on a summer holiday…’ And a spring, autumn and, er, winter one too… At Tencreek Holiday Park, the nearest park to lovely Looe in Cornwall, you and the family can arrive in all seasons as a base for the best of south-east Cornwall and Devon, or just stay on site to spoil yourselves silly with the lashings of facilities and entertainment for all ages. And the views are pretty tenfastic too… Tencreek is aimed at families and couples, and as such has any number of tiptop things to try: a kids’ club just for starters, and an adventure playground and sports pitch for small sorts to whirl around outside. More grownuply, the park also has the Castaway entertainment complex with large cabaret room, bar, Deano’s Diner and indoor sports room with darts and pool; there's also family entertainment every night from the Yellow Coats and Tencreek mascots. Don’t forget the dog either: the park is dog friendly and has a dog walking area with access to the public footpath. If it rains, the kids won’t even notice once you get them to the heated indoor pool and toddlers’ pool, which are also open all year and free to use (there are classes such as Aquafit and kids’ swimming lessons available at a small additional charge). The thoughtful folk at Tencreek have ensured that the pool is always lifeguarded, and there are even adults-only sessions at times, if you can manage to get the kids dried off and packed off for a bit… The park also has a fully-stocked food shop, a café with takeaway and a modern laundry.

Dan G.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (maximum 8 metres)

Liked View, but this has nothing to do with the site management. They’re lucky they have it!

Disliked Staff, (got the feeling her was an inconvenience ) pitches, (gave us one cramped with people when we asked for a view if possible) all view pitches were empty! Lorry woke us up at 7! Reversing and doing god knows what

Clare W.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Good location for a coastal walk to Looe or Polperro, clean facilities and a nice view. The food onsite was good quality.

Disliked I have never left an unfavourable review but this really did spoil or stay.

Facilities - We paid over £40 per night for a non electric pitch (which was discounted via pitch up) but thought would be fair due to the facilities including the pool. Unfortunately the pool, area around the pool and changing rooms were tired and dirty.

Non electric pitch - There were lots still available and the staff did show us where the available non electric pitches were we could swap to, but none of the non electric pitches were flat. I would have been happy to pay an additional fee to move, we asked if we could swap to a flat pitch (loads available) one right in front of the one we were allocated - the cost was an extra £30 per night!! To be fair, these were electric grass pitches (we don’t need/ use electric hook up as we have solar power) but an extra £30 per night is silly. The staff did advise us of the nearest trago mills shop (20 minutes drive away) but they did not have levelling chocks, So we found some breeze blocks on the site and made the best of it….2 uncomfortable nights sleep at an angle. In 3 years travelling in a camper all over the UK I have not had to use levelling chocks (lesson learned and now purchased) but we never had a site refuse to accommodate a move where it was at all possible. It would also be helpful if it mentioned you may be on a slope on the information/ booking site and if the campsite shop sold levelling chucks.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The campsite was really well located and for the price they provide a lot of facilities. All the staff were helpful and friendly and the camping pitch was well sized.
The kids enjoyed the disco and play park. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning again.

Disliked The pool wasn’t the cleanest and some facilities had a lot of equipment out of order. The food was also a bit hit or miss in terms of quality.

Liked Location distance from Looe town centre is unfortunately the only positive we had from our stay here!

Disliked Pitches too close together, we were located next to the shower block so didn’t sleep at all due to kids running in and out and screaming and the constant hand dryers. Some staff members were rude at times when we were asking simple questions in the bar area about breakfast, but then they would be really nice with other people asking the same question!

Local attractions

Oodles of activities and attractions await once you’ve dragged yourself off site: pootle around Looe’s Harbour Quay, Banjo Pier and the 16th-century Old Guildhall in East Looe, or take a boat to Looe (St George’s) Island, where just once a year on a very low tide it’s possible to stroll to it across the sand. Sea-based sightseers can go from Looe to Fowey and take the ferry to Polruan or Bodinnick and the former house of Daphne du Maurier (Daphne and Rebecca fans can also go ghost hunting at Cornwall’s legendary coaching house at Bodmin Moor, said to be the county’s most famous smuggling inn). Most day trippers take a car for the 12-mile Looe-Fowey journey, but if you’re feeling energetic enough and want to see some stunning coastal scenery, the local South West Coast Path hike goes from West Looe to Polruan via Hannafore, Talland Bay and Polperro. You officially have full permission to get a bus or taxi back…
