  • Family and couples' site within walking distance of Newquay town
  • Owned and run by the same family for over 60 years
  • Pool, fishing ponds, play area, sandpit and shop
Cornwall? Newquay? But of course. Anyone having a hol in Cornwall at any time should pitch up near Newquay at some point: for famed surfing beaches, lively vibe, Newquay Zoo, the Blue Reef Aquarium… and easy access to the rest of the north Cornish coast as well as the beaches down south. And if you're looking for a family base within walking distance of Newquay? Pitch up at popular and friendly Trencreek Holiday Park, owned and run in the quiet village of Trencreek by the same family for over 60 years. This pretty and well-maintained park is a mere mile from Newquay town centre and five minutes' walk away from a regular bus route, passing tennis courts, swimming pools and Newquay Zoo on the way into town. Trencreek is a family and couples-only holiday park, where the family team here make their mission to provide a welcoming vibe and to keep all amenities to spotless standards. Everything's kept secure here: access is by car number plate recognition barriers, so only those booked on site are allowed in. Spend your days lazing by the heated outdoor pool or casting off – for free – in the coarse fishing ponds, or let the kids loose at the play area, sandpit and games room. By night, you could settle down for a barbecue by your pitch: an excellently-stocked shop is on site, a farm shop is within five minutes' walk and a supermarket is a mile away.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite (four person)

Liked A truly wonderful family campsite. Great hosts and very friendly and polite, lots of fun too.
Epic location, 20-40 mins walk to Newquay, more to Fistral Besch but well worth the walk. Clean, everything you need and want for a family budget site, caravans, motor homes and campers and a mix of tent pitches all mixed up so you feel included.

Powered grass campsite

Liked We had a fantastic 4 nights at Trencreek, really large pitch, so plenty of space. Really friendly neighbours who spend 5 months of the year in their caravan here. The showers were lovely, warm and clean. We didn't make use of the amusements, shops or entertainment so can't comment on those. The pool was lovely to cool down in after a few hot hours down at the beach. We will definitely be returning at some point.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite (four person)

Liked The proximity to Newquay was good and good value considering that. Nice level pitches and a good number of facilities.

Disliked The closeness of pitches, the noise level on site (especially at night), although facilities were good they weren't clean, the fact it's a cash only site and the constant smell of weed.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite (four person)

Liked Had a really enjoyable stay. Very calm and friendly environment. Really well kept garden/flower area which was by the shop and bar. Lots of beautiful flowers and plants. The sizes of the pitches were good and the toilet/shower were clean.

Disliked Shame WiFi wasn't a free option during our stay as signal was really bad!

Ok - not for solo travellers. Noisy and way too busy for me.

Local attractions

Set off on foot or take the local bus for the mile-long journey into Newquay, one of the most famed spots in all the country for surfing and surf schools as well as the surfing tournaments at Fistral beach. Loads of other Newquay options await if the thought of boards bores you: have a potter around the zoo or aquarium, bask on some of the seven miles of golden sandy beach, or take the Newquay Discovery Trail on a gentle meander through town. The South West Coast Path runs through town too on its 603-mile meander from Minehead to Poole; there's an easy trail of less than a mile to Bedruthan Steps if you want to tackle the path with the kids. Just outside Newquay, Trenance Gardens and Leisure Park is a spectacular spot for a family day out, with Trenance Leisure Park and skate park, a boating lake and pedalo hire, and peaceful times afterwards among the trees, flowers and rose bushes of Trenance Gardens. The park is 10 minutes' walk from Trencreek. For day trips, try Truro (25 minutes' drive), Padstow (30 minutes), the Eden Project (35 minutes) and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth (50 minutes).
