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.

Pitch was 100% hard gravel, would bring matting for any dogs

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Cleanliness of facilities. Pleasant staff . Location was ideal to many places of interests.

Disliked: Not many pitches and also the ground was on a slope and ground had tree roots underneath so pegging out was difficult. Too quiet for a camping site.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. It is lovely to know that you enjoyed your stay in terms of facilities and location, and we will definitely pass on your comments to the cleaning and wardening teams. Regards the quiet, we are a tranquil site and with the surrounding woodland filtering out any noise from the roads, we are, as your correctly say, very quiet. We can only apologise that this was not to your liking but we sincerely hope that you might change your mind about visiting us again in the future.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: What I liked especially was the extremely high level of imaginative practical thought and efficiency that had gone into the facillities and care in this site, combined with kindness and warmth and friendliness. It is very well staffed with an on site office that is most helpful, for example, extending my stay on one pitch was one example. Another was the attention to detail so that every facility is not only generously in its provision, lots of showers toilets, wash facillities, highly clean but has small aids such as a shower water scraper so you can keep it dry and ready for the next user. There’s a bus to and from Truro, and post box, box stall for loaning. Dog walks . Residents are equally thoughtful! Pitches are immaculate. The site it in a great position for visiting either coast or the Falmouth area. Really impressive, thank you.

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.
