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.

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

A wet start to saturday morning, but everything dried up nicely!

Dog walking fields with flowing stream. the whippet was not too sure of the bridge!

View from our pitch, luckily work stopped over the weekend.

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

Peaceful, well-kept, clean.

Liked: Lovely peaceful site, well signposted off the main road. Had all the basics we needed for our long weekend. Shower block was lovely and warm and kept spotless throughout our stay. Didn’t spend much time on-site as we were mostly off exploring, but was the perfect base-camp for our time in Cornwall.

Electric gravel touring pitch (comfort)

Liked: The site was quiet, good clean facilities, good size pitch, large dog field, country setting, good pub nearby with very good food.

Disliked: A small dog area would be helpful as the field was so wet, dogs needed washing after but would be excellent in summer!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind comments and we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Sorry the field was so wet, with all the rain we have had this winter!

Enjoyed our stay, thanks to the hard working team keeping site nice.

Electric gravel touring pitch (comfort)

Liked: Cleanliness and friendliness of staff. Given the amount of rainfall keeping the facilities clean was amazing.
Serviced pitch everything worked well. All pitches are level as well.
Easy to get to just off A30 but distant enough for zero road noise.
Nice pubs close by as are Falmouth and Truro.

Disliked: Personal opinions, your view may vary:
If you’re sensitive to noise there is a babbling brook directly behind pitches 6-9. Actually quite soothing for me :), just letting y’ll know.

It’s very…grey. Hardcore pitches grey, road grey. Clean and effective but so is a car park.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review Cosawes. We are glad you enjoyed the cleanliness and staff friendliness.
We hope to see you again some time.

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.
