  • Spacious site near the centre of Cornwall
  • Easy access to the beaches of the north and south coasts
  • Pubs, restaurants and shops all a short drive away
Gno what? If you fancy a friendly, clean and quiet site in the open countryside of Cornwall, a short drive from the north coast's fab surf at Newquay and with a National Nature Reserve on the doorstep, you should give scenic Gnome World Holiday Park a whirl. The seven-mile Goss Moor Trail is opposite the park for easy ambles or bike rides along its flat terrain, part of the Goss Moor National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest for a spot of wildlife watching a quick walk from your pitch. By car, the beaches of Newquay and the north coast – Mawgan Porth, Crantock, Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach – are within a few minutes' drive, and the ports and coastline of the south, such as Mevagissey and Fowey, not much further. There's plenty of room on this spacious site for family games, alongside a well-equipped play area for little imps, a well-maintained toilet and shower block with disabled facilities near the touring and camping field, and a token-operated launderette. Pubs, convenience stores and restaurants are all a short drive away.

What customers say

This is a well-maintained, clean, and spacious campsite with large pitches and friendly, helpful staff. Facilities, particularly the toilet and shower blocks, are frequently praised for their cleanliness. Its excellent location offers easy access to local attractions and beaches. On-site food vendors are a popular bonus. While generally peaceful, some guests noted potential for noise from nearby roads and train lines. A minority of reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness or facilities, and a few noted the lack of on-site shop.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The size of each pitch.

Disliked The long walk to the toilets, especially at night with no lighting in the field. I am disabled and cannot walk very far and felt very vulnerable when walking in the dark to reach the toilets. I never saw one member of staff throughout the duration of my stay so can’t comment on them. I also never saw anyone cleaning the facilities (maybe because it was August bank holiday) so can’t comment on cleanliness.

From the manager: Hello, I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us.

The office was open on Friday, the day of your arrival and on Saturday, however you are correct the main office was not open on Sunday however the park owner is on site for any problems.

I've checked your booking and unfortunately you didn't not let us know your were disabled and would have preferred to be closer to the toilet block, we would have certainly tried to get you closer had we known.

The toilets are cleaned three times per day over the summer, the blocks are in field 1 and field 3. As you were in field 2 its possible you may have not seen our cleaners.

Thank you for bringing our attention to the lighting, this is the 1st comment we have received however i will certainly get this checked out in case we have some bulbs that need replacing.

Kind Regards

Nicky

Local attractions

Gnome World Holiday Park is peacefully placed away from the main tourist trail of Cornwall, but cunningly sited for easy access to all the best attractions of the county's north and south. The Crealy Great Adventure Park and Newquay Zoo are both less than seven miles away. If poss plan plenty of time at the beaches of both the north and the south: at the north, head for the world-famous surfing beaches of Newquay including Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach, both of which have surf shops for kit hire and lessons. If you don't fancy plunging into the foamy depths, Porth beach, also at Newquay, doesn't allow surfing in the summer season so has a quieter family feel. To the south, Mevagissey and Fowey are both popular ports with visitors, Mevagissey for its historic harbour and Fowey for yacht spotting and a trip on the passenger ferry to Polruan or back to Mevagissey. On land, there's loads to do too, like exploring Cornwall's old tin mines, part of a World Heritage Site or having a Cornish pasty and ice cream in every old fishing village dotted along the coast. Seafood should be sampled in Padstow and art in St Ives too, or spend a day at Cornwall's best known attractions, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, both easy to get to from Mevagissey and Fowey. If you fancy a flight, take a helicopter ride to the beaut Isles of Scilly from Newquay.
