  • 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

Tregitthey gets props for being super green, with heaps of birds and always-clean loos and showers (hot water!). Staff are ace, especially Amy, Jilly & Steve. Handy spot for shops, pubs & coastal strolls, with hedges blocking the breeze. Some thought facilities were a bit old-school & a bit too many rules, but most loved it and would come back.

Unpowered grass site

Liked The staff were very friendly and the site was very clean and tidy.

Disliked I can’t think of anything that I dislike other than the sound of vehicles from the road nearby. But that’s what you get if you want to be so close to Newquay.

Liked So quiet even in summer hols and such a beautiful camping field

Disliked Showers ! They were brand new and beautiful however they were mist showers and were not consistent some last 10 seconds others go on forever and literally soaked everywhere when yiu opened the door . But its obvious the owners have spent alot of money on them and they wrte always clean .

We also paid for the WiFi which dosnt actually reach the camping field very well

From the manager: hi Laura

hopefully see you again soon

Local attractions

Food, glorious food: Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant is nearby at Watergate Bay, and 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 Flambards theme park at Helston, the Eden Project near St Austell, Crealy Great Adventure 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.
