Lanyon Holiday Park

Lanyon Holiday Park is a family run touring park and campsite at Four Lanes near Redruth, open all year round, with a free heated indoor pool and hedged grass pitches in the west Cornwall countryside. The park sits between Cornwall's two coasts, so surf beaches are a short drive rather than a stroll: Portreath is 6.5 miles away, Godrevy 8.2 miles, and Lanyon publishes its own guide to 11 dog friendly beaches within 14 miles. Pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes run from 7 by 9 metre Silver pitches without electric, through hedged Gold pitches on grass or gravel, up to three types of double pitch (The Paddock, Gold Large and Gold XL) with twin 10 amp hook ups and space for two units, built for two families pitching together. It suits families and dog owners well; campers who want to walk to a beach from their tent should look nearer the coast. The free pool, the play park with its trampoline and sand pit, and the fire pit policy stand out: self contained fire pits on legs are welcome, and the park hires them out if you travel light. Dogs cost £4 a night, maximum two per pitch, with an off lead exercise paddock, and awnings, gazebos, pup tents and extra cars are free if they fit on your pitch. Open 365 days a year, with Silver pitches from £20 a night and Gold from £30 through the Redruth park's own booking system.
