  • Secluded, peaceful park in a rural setting a few miles from Praa Sands
  • Within 30 minutes' drive of Land's End, St Ives and Falmouth
  • Nature trail, games field and play barn
Avoid the madding crowds on your summer sojourn to Cornwall and stay at this green, secluded and peaceful park instead: Polladras Holiday Park has had previous guests waxing lyrical about its peace, its quiet and its lovely location 15 minutes' drive from Helston and pretty Porthleven harbour. The park is in a rural setting four miles from the beaches of Cornwall’s south coast and within easy reach of coastal and countryside walks. It’s in a top spot too for south-west Cornwall explores with Penzance, the Lizard Peninsula and Land’s End no more than half an hour’s drive away. Yet blissful peace will always be yours when you potter back to pitch, as family-friendly and dog-friendly Polladras is set over nine acres and has no noisy bar, clubhouse or evening entertainment. This is a place that gives a good nod to eco-friendly aspects: low wattage bulbs are used throughout and recycling is paramount. Heaps of info is displayed about non-car ways of getting around the local area, in the form of bus timetables on display and details of walks from the park given to all guests, and the well thought-out nature trail leads to a games field with play barn, football goals and a climbing frame to wrestle the kids away from their consoles.

What customers say

Great campsite with clean facilities & helpful staff. Good pitches, but Wi-Fi can be spotty. Watch for narrow lanes and occasional crowds. Some report safety/communication issues.

Gold powered grass travel trailer, tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked The attention to detail was wonderful! The pitches were manicured, and the bathrooms were clean. Site owners are super helpful and friendly.

The campsite is not the cheapest, but it offers all the value that pop-up fields don't. It is so worth it!

And sooooo quiet at nighttime too.

It even has WiFi!

Gold powered grass travel trailer, tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked Lovely grass pitch, good size - we had a great location close to amenities.

Disliked Our only gripe and isn't really one to be help was that our pitch had afternoon shade and into the evening whilst the others all enjoyed the much anticipated sunshine.
We would ask for a different pitch next time.

Bell tent (no pets)

Liked A Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommended!

We had an amazing experience at this campsite – it’s perfect for families and incredibly well-maintained. The site was immaculately clean throughout, and the whole atmosphere felt friendly, safe, and welcoming.

The hosts were lovely – always approachable, helpful, and easily contactable via WhatsApp throughout the day. The self-service check-in process was simple and smooth, which made arriving stress-free.

The site rules are clear and reasonable, but what really stood out was how naturally respectful everyone was. There was no need for strict enforcement – it just felt like a well-run community where everyone looked out for each other. The environment was especially wonderful for children; they were encouraged to play and have fun, and it was heartwarming to see them all getting along and playing together without any issues.

We stayed in the bell tent at pitch 25, which was spacious, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The toilet and shower facilities were spotless, with both individual and family shower options – a really thoughtful touch.

Overall, this campsite exceeded our expectations in every way. I would 100% stay again and absolutely recommend it to friends and family!

Local attractions

Within half an hour or less you’ll reach most of the main highlights of south-west Cornwall as well as many beyond: Flambards Theme Park, St Ives, Falmouth and the gardens of Glendurgan, Trebah and Trewithian are all close by, and the town of Helston, Cornwall’s second oldest (after Marazion), is three miles from the park. Stunning beaches are all around: Praa Sands 10 minutes’ drive away; Sennen Cove and its consistent waves for surf, and Porthleven, Pollurian and Mullion for fishing, more watersporting and rockpooling. From Porthkerris beach, towards Falmouth, you can learn to dive and look for the shore’s shipwrecks, while Kennack Sands and Kynance towards the Lizard are the ones to take the paintbox to. Newquay and the famed surf beaches of Cornwall’s north coast are within seven miles. For walkies, take to the countryside around Lower Polladras using the park guides, or have some gorgeously scenic strolls along the South West Coast Path to Mullion, Marazion, Mousehole or Penzance. On the north coast, try the eight-mile hike from Portreath to Godrevy, stopping off for blackberry ice cream or apple cake and clotted cream at the famed Hells Mouth café along the way.
