  • Indoor pool (high season only), games room and dog exercise paddock
Wake up to an unruffled vista of gentle hills and cobalt seas at Lanyon Holiday Park, which offers 14 acres of generously proportioned grass pitches. Site facilities are great: you can wallow for hours – free of charge, between April and September – in the toasty indoor swimming pool; the games room is open all day for TV, pool and video games; the kids can bounce themselves silly on the sizeable trampoline in the play park; and they’ve even thought of the dog, with a roomy exercise paddock for campsite canines (although there are no end of gorgeous walks in the countryside surrounding Lanyon, too). There’s no need to stress about the essentials, either. It’s all here: fridges and freezers, ample free hot water everywhere on site, hairdryers to keep your barnet looking tiptop, and oodles of washing machines, rotary and tumble dryers, and a free ironing kit.

Gold powered grass campsite (large)

Liked We recently stayed at Lanyon Holiday Park in Carn Brea and had a really lovely time.

The indoor swimming pool was a nice touch. It’s advertised as heated – and while it wasn’t particularly warm, because the weather was so hot during our stay it actually felt refreshing. In cooler months it might feel a bit chilly, but for us it worked perfectly.

One of the standout features was the huge dog field. It’s rare to find a campsite that allows dogs completely off the lead, and ours absolutely loved it. Having that space for them to properly run around was brilliant and made the park feel genuinely dog-friendly rather than just ticking the box.

The toilet and shower facilities were very clean and well looked after, which makes such a difference when you’re camping. You could see they were maintained regularly, and that added to how relaxed and comfortable the stay felt.

The children’s play area was another big plus. There are two trampolines and plenty of equipment to keep kids entertained – a proper park rather than just the basics. My daughter loved it and it was great to have something safe and fun for her on-site.

The site itself felt very relaxed and self-service. We didn’t meet the owners, but that wasn’t an issue. It just had a simple, no-fuss atmosphere where you’re left to enjoy your holiday.

The only real downside is that there’s no shop on site, and the nearest supermarkets are about a 10-minute drive away. That means a 20-minute round trip if you forget something, so it’s worth stocking up in advance.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend Lanyon Holiday Park. Between the dog field, the clean facilities, the indoor pool, and the brilliant kids’ park, it really stood out. We loved our stay and would definitely come back again.

Liked La vue, l’aire de jeux et la piscine, le micro onde, la douche familiale. Le calme. Personnel très réactif face aux demandes et aux problèmes éventuels.

Disliked Ne voir personne à l’accueil le jour de notre arrivée (les autres jours non plus d’ailleurs). Pas de wifi, contrairement a annoncé sur pitchup.

Local attractions

Leaving Lanyon, it will take a mere 10 minutes in your trusty automobile to arrive at acres of golden sand. Surfers will think they have dived and gone to heaven: Portreath, on the doorstep, is not to be sneezed at, but a few miles further they’ll find arguably the best surfing in Britain, on the beaches of Newquay. Art lovers will enjoy a trip to the Tate at St Ives, followed by a meander through the narrow streets that pack the hillside behind the sweep of the bay. Also within a short drive are the biospheres of the Eden Project and the National Maritime Museum at Falmouth. Travel a little further and you can make throngs of finny friends at the aquarium in Plymouth.
