  • Countryside site 10 minutes' drive from Newquay
  • Managed wildlife haven: spot badgers, foxes, rabbits and kingfishers
  • Adventure playground and games room on site
Set in the stunning countryside seven miles from Newquay airport, Trethiggey Holiday Park is very nicely placed for whizzing between many of Cornwall's popular attractions. To start with, it's just a 10-minute drive from Newquay, and secondly, the famed rainforest biomes of the Eden Project are just half an hour's drive away. Suited to families or couples, the site is a carefully considered wildlife haven where guests are welcome to go on a species-spotting wander. There are over 4,000 shrubs and trees in its countryside setting: badgers frequently visit, foxes live in the nearby fields and you should also see kingfishers, jays, buzzards and rabbits. Nature signs are dotted around the park detailing all the critters that live and visit there. For kids, the site has an adventure playground and – with varied opening times depending upon the season – a games room with pool tables. Trethiggey Holiday Park welcomes well-behaved dogs, so you don't need to leave any furry family members back at home. Thinking of your holiday pints already? There are three splendid local pubs within walking distance of the site for delicious meals and drinks – and in fact, you don't need to walk any more than 10 to 15 minutes to reach all three.

What customers say

Great campsite, friendly staff, clean facilities, and handy for Newquay, beaches & shops. Reviewers liked tidy pitches, lots of green space and a playground. Some found facilities a bit dated, with WiFi and shower issues. Road noise and unclear pitches were mentioned. Manager plans upgrades.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Good size pitches, really helpful staff, clean and tidy facilities. Bus stop into Newquay outside the entrance to the site, which we used a few times (Driving and parking in Newquay in the summer months, particularly in a campervan is a nightmare).

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked We had a fantastic stay at this holiday park and were very satisfied with our experience. The park was clean, well-maintained, and had a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The facilities were excellent, and there was plenty to do for both adults and children. The staff were helpful and always happy to assist.
The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the surrounding area while also enjoying a relaxing break. We would definitely recommend this holiday park to others and look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We liked everything about site. We were impressed by the care taken to ensure cleanliness of the communal areas. The pitches were well maintained. The bus stops right outside the site were a bonus, so easy to get into Newquay or Truro. The lady at reception was friendly and informative. We would have no hesitation in booking this site again.

Disliked This is not a dislike or a moan but the site is a little ragged round the edges. The staff work hard to maintain the site and we assume issues will be addressed over time ie: bubbling paintwork in bathrooms. Uneven road surface to the pitches.

Local attractions

Food, glorious food: it's 16 miles or so from Newquay to Padstow and the four fish restaurants of Rick Stein. Or have surf, glorious surf, other watery sports and the building of many sandcastles with the kids at the glorious beaches of Newquay, with plenty of pubs, restaurants and clubs around to relax/party in once you've dried off. On Newquay's outskirts, put cheesy grins on the kids' faces with a whisk around award-winning and all-weather DairyLand Farm World, one of several kid-friendly days out around the area within an accessible drive: see also the Eden Project near St Austell, Crealy Theme Park at Wadebridge and an unusual but gripping day out at Padstow's National Lobster Hatchery. Elsewhere around Cornwall, pick your passion and set off: historians can explore the old tin mines of World Heritage Site St Agnes or Cornwall's many historic and National Trust houses. Marine enthusiasts should have a look at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth, and arty types can make their way to the galleries and artistic atmosphere of lovely St Ives.
