  • Petting corner on site with ponies
  • Easy access to Camel Creek Adventure Park
  • Pool, bar, games room and free hot showers
Ponies! Heaps of things will make your kids’ hearts sing on a stay at long-established and family-run Music Water Touring Park near Padstow in Cornwall, but you can bet that the petting corner on site to nuzzle the noses of snuggly ponies will be any small person’s first melodious stop. (You can then casually inform them – kids, not ponies – that Music Water is within trotting distance of Camel Creek Adventure Park, and we bet they’ll be singing all through the hol.) As befits a park with ponies on it, Music Water has a paddock layout for those to prefer to pitch up in a peaceful countryside setting. Kids can canter off to the play area and games room with pool tables, amusement machines and table tennis; for all sizes, the outdoor pool and family-friendly bar will keep the holiday harmonious. Amenities-wise, guests have access to two shower and toilet blocks with free hot water, a launderette, freezer pack service and an on-site post box (to send home jubilant postcards). Trotting off site, Music Water is a few miles from the coastal walks and sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, four miles from Padstow and the Camel Trail, and seven miles from Wadebridge. Newquay – and its zoo – is about eight miles away, and the famed Eden Project about half an hour’s drive. Buy barbecue bits and essentials at the shop a couple of miles away or at the Tesco in Padstow; diners out have stacks of choice from restaurants and pubs in Padstow, Wadebridge, Newquay and St Merryn.

What customers say

This well-kept, family-friendly campground boasts spacious sites and a prime location. Guests loved the friendly staff, peaceful vibe, and amenities like the pool and game room. While generally clean, some facilities are a bit dated, and shower temperature/pressure are occasionally mentioned. It's cash-only.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Lovely site with stunning views. Spacious plots. I loved the flowers and plants all over the site it was a lovely touch and showed attention to detail. Toilets are a decent size and were clean everyday. Pool looked great though unheated, with the breeze it wasn't quite warm enough to go in. Loved the chickens and the pony's which we fed strawberries to one morning. Games room was handy for our son though a little outdated. Secluded campsite, quiet and peaceful. No footpaths from the site, straight onto country roads. Theres a gorgeous field of clover just 2 mins walk up the road, great for plane watching and Frisby 👌

Disliked No shop on site or in walking distance. We found a tesco in padstow, a few minutes drive away. There was no music in the bar/reception in the evenings, it was very quiet so we didn't have drinks at the bar.

Liked Nice site with decent size pitches, both grandchildren particularly liked the swimming pool it was cold but they did go in for a short while and they enjoyed feeding the ponies and chickens.

Disliked Shower/toilet block - (both were) very outdated, toilet flushes do not work very well and takes ages for the cistern to refill again and showers only lukewarm. Desperately in need of a revamp to bring them up to the standard of other similarly priced campsites.

Liked Pretty site, grounds well maintained

Disliked There is a reason there are no photos of the toilets/ shower facilities. Very old and outdated blocks, very cold, filthy and toilet did not flush. Showers comparable to those at an outdoor swimming pool and toilets like public toilets. 4 showers for the entire site. Dishwashing facilities are outside and very poor in comparison to some other wonderful sites in the area. Tiny swimming pool. We left to find alternative accommodation as staff/ owners unwelcoming and dismissive, facilities very poor, a refund was refused despite being happy to pay for one night to allow them to refill the pitch. No Wi-Fi.

Local attractions

Beach or theme park? Theme park or beach? Surfing or sailing or fishing or horse riding or golf – or coastal hikes and countryside bikes? If you want to stick close to base, all are available within 10 miles at the most from Music Water Touring Park, with other attractions and towns like Portreath, St Ives and Tintagel also exceedingly reachable on the north coast. The Camel Creek Adventure Park jut outside Wadebridge will probably be the first stop for those on holiday with small adventurers to soar on the rides and peer at the meerkats. Also at Wadebridge, the St Eval Kart Circuit is the biggest kids' circuit in the UK and is suitable for ages three to 16 (adults can roar along the track on their own circuit too). Newquay Zoo and its Blue Reef Aquarium are other popular stops on the ‘kids in Cornwall’ trail, and just outside Newquay farm-mad offspring will milk the day for all it’s worth around the huge indoor play centre, adventure park, critters and maze of award-winning DairyLand Farm World.
