Calloose Holiday Park

Calloose Holiday Park, formerly Calloose Caravan Park, is a family-run holiday park and campsite in a quiet country valley at Leedstown near Hayle in west Cornwall, with a heated outdoor pool and its own secure dog field. Hayle Beach on St Ives Bay and Praa Sands on the south coast both sit about 4 miles away, putting four beaches within a 10 to 15 minute drive, and days out such as Flambards, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and the Minack Theatre are all within reach. Tourers and campers pick from fully serviced gravel hardstandings in 8m x 8m and 10m x 10m sizes (the larger ones fenced on three sides), grass touring pitches with electric hookup, and tent pitches with hookup as standard; tents larger than 6m x 6m are not accepted, and anyone set on campfires or pitch barbecues should look elsewhere, as cooking on coals happens only at the free communal gas barbecue area by the bar. Static holiday homes and four lodges with hot tubs cover non-campers. Beyond the pool, bar and restaurant, arcade and adventure playground, the fenced one acre dog walking field with its stream and pond is the standout, and Tripadvisor reviewers score the park 4.3 from more than 300 reviews, with clean facilities and friendly staff the recurring praise. Prices are quoted through Calloose's online booking system, and with the pool open from mid-May to September it makes a proper family base for west Cornwall.
