Reevoo Rating: From over 400 reviews, Newquay Holiday Park is rated 7.8/10

Not only is Newquay our most popular caravan park in Cornwall, it’s also one of the best in the UK – and it’s easy to see why. If you’re looking for a park which offers the perfect blend of tranquil countryside and a buzzing programme of facilities and entertainment, this could be the park for you.

Families with children will find Newquay particularly appealing due to the trio of outdoor swimming pools and wide range of kids’ clubs, catering to all ages from toddlers to teens. The park’s location also makes it an ideal base for exploring the town of Newquay itself and its abundance of world-famous beaches.

“We had an amazing time at this park. This is one of the best parks we have ever stayed at and we will be returning next year.” - Delina via Reevoo

2. White Acres Holiday Park, Newquay

Where is White Acres Holiday Park? Newquay, Cornwall, TR8 4LW

Reevoo Rating: From over 300 reviews, White Acres Holiday Park is rated 8/10

Nestled in 184 acres of idyllic surrounding countryside, White Acres is undoubtedly one of the best holiday parks in Cornwall. A high proportion of White Acres’ visitors are couples and dog owners, but that being said, there are still plenty of kids’ facilities and entertainment on offer here too!

White Acres is also our biggest park for fishing holidays, with 13 lakes from which you can cast your line. Our beautiful fishing lakes are what make this park truly special – and one of our top tips would be to book a luxury lodge overlooking Nelson’s Lake.

“Gorgeous surroundings and luxurious lodge. Peaceful and relaxing place, highly recommend.” - Keith via Reevoo

Heading towards east Cornwall, you’ll find Looe Bay Holiday Park – a park which attracts families of all shapes and sizes. There are activities to suit all ages, whether it’s splashing about in the pool, teeing off on the crazy golf course or taking a relaxed stroll around the nature trail. The seaside town of Looe is also just a 5 minute drive away and there’s a bus stop right outside the park.

Looe Bay is one of our most dog-friendly holiday parks and even allows dogs in some of the indoor areas of the complex. With our bespoke 1 bedroom caravans – ideal for couples and their pooch - you won’t be short of dog-friendly accommodation either.

“This was easily one of the best Parkdean holidays I’ve been on! The area was stunning, the caravan and facilities were immaculate and the staff were very friendly. We shall definitely be going back.” - Shane via TripAdvisor

If a smaller, quieter park is where you’d like to spend your next break, look no further than Holywell Bay Holiday Park. Providing a peaceful environment whilst still only being a stone’s throw away from the action of Newquay and a short walk to the beach, it’s understandably one of the best holiday parks in Cornwall.

Holywell Bay benefits from some unique features you won’t find at our other caravan parks in Cornwall, such as an on park surf academy, offering surf lessons to all abilities, plus a discount for Parkdean Resorts guests. It is also our only park in Cornwall to feature glamping safari tents should you wish to try camping in style!

“We had a fantastic time. Caravan beautiful, really helpful staff and in a superb location right next to the beach. We can’t wait to return, would highly recommend!” - Andrew via Reevoo
