  • 14 acres of greenery a short distance from the north Cornish coast
  • A 15-minute drive from Portreath beach and half an hour from St Ives
  • Indoor pool (high season only), games room and dog exercise paddock
Wake up to an unruffled vista of gentle hills and cobalt seas at Lanyon Holiday Park, which offers 14 acres of generously proportioned grass pitches. Site facilities are great: you can wallow for hours – free of charge, between April and September – in the toasty indoor swimming pool; the games room is open all day for TV, pool and video games; the kids can bounce themselves silly on the sizeable trampoline in the play park; and they’ve even thought of the dog, with a roomy exercise paddock for campsite canines (although there are no end of gorgeous walks in the countryside surrounding Lanyon, too). There’s no need to stress about the essentials, either. It’s all here: fridges and freezers, ample free hot water everywhere on site, hairdryers to keep your barnet looking tiptop, and oodles of washing machines, rotary and tumble dryers, and a free ironing kit.

Gold electric grass pitch

Liked: - Owl area facilities were good & clean. - Felt safe

Disliked: - We were allocated the worst “hedged” area (paid for gold) in the Owl area. It was not very private as the hedges were small. The pitch size was definitely smaller than others. - Lack of directions to find the pitch

Silver non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch

Liked: Easy to check in I had a very spacious pitch the toilets showers washing up areas & a washing machine plus tumble dryers was an absolute bonus were all immaculate & cleaned regularly throughout the day the staff were friendly & the pool was an added bonus for the price I paid this campsite is up there on my favourites list & I will definitely be back

Disliked: Nothing really to dislike however I turned up with no change for the washing machines so had to go a mile & a half to get change so possibly a facility to do a transfer for some change just to make it even better

Liked: Very well organised holiday park. Easy check in and pitch up. Was only a flying visit so can’t comment on all amenities. The shower block in the owl field was spot on.

Disliked: Nothing.

Ali D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Gold electric grass pitch

Liked: Superb site, with clean and tidy facilities, oodles of hot water - and those little extras that make everything easier; - a laundry in each area - wetsuit dunk tanks and washing lines - a facilties block in each major area - enough light from the facilities at night time so no stumbling around in the dark - quiet hours well enforced from 10pm - 8am - well marked pitches with plenty of space Added bonus were the pool, games room, and kids play park For peak season was not busy at all, even though most pitches were occupied

Disliked: A lack of little shop for essentials would have been helpful on site - but I’m just clutching at straws here! The WiFi didn’t stretch with a strong signal - but you really don’t need it!

Local attractions

Leaving Lanyon, it will take a mere 10 minutes in your trusty automobile to arrive at acres of golden sand. Surfers will think they have dived and gone to heaven: Portreath, on the doorstep, is not to be sneezed at, but a few miles further they’ll find arguably the best surfing in Britain, on the beaches of Newquay. Art lovers will enjoy a trip to the Tate at St Ives, followed by a meander through the narrow streets that pack the hillside behind the sweep of the bay. Also within a short drive are the biospheres of the Eden Project and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth. Travel a little further and you can make throngs of finny friends at the aquarium in Plymouth.
