48 caravan parks in Cornwall

Touring caravan holidays in Cornwall

The 48 caravan parks in Cornwall run from five-van farm sites to full-facility coastal parks with pools, bars and shops, with the heaviest cluster on the north coast between Bude and Newquay. Cornwall rewards a towed caravan like few counties: two coastlines sit a short drive apart, so one well-chosen pitch reaches surf beaches, sheltered coves and moorland walking in the same week.

Caravan parks and holiday parks are different bookings

A touring pitch and a static caravan holiday are separate products. This page lists parks where you bring your own caravan; holiday parks around Newquay, Perranporth and St Austell rent fixed static caravans by the week, and several Cornish parks run both sides of the business. Booking a static holiday rather than a touring pitch, go direct to the park's holiday-hire pages.

Pitches, hook-ups and site types

Hardstanding pitches earn their keep in Cornwall, where Atlantic weather churns grass pitches quickly outside high summer. Most parks offer electric hook-ups at 10A or 16A alongside grass and serviced options, awning space comes as standard on touring pitches, and seasonal pitches suit caravanners returning across the summer.

At the small end, certificated sites (five-van locations licensed through the Caravan and Motorhome Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club) offer quiet farmland pitches, many within a short drive of the coast.

Towing to and around Cornwall

The A30 is the towing spine of the county, running as dual carriageway from Exeter deep into Cornwall since the Chiverton upgrade. The care comes in the final miles: many Cornish parks sit off single-track lanes with high hedges, so follow the park's own approach directions rather than the shortest satnav route, and plan to arrive in daylight. Towing a twin-axle, confirm access with the park before booking.

Where to base your tour

Newquay, Padstow, St Agnes and Bude anchor the north coast for surf beaches, cliff walking and sunsets. Looe, Mevagissey and Mount's Bay give the south coast's calmer water and quieter roads. Parks inland around Bodmin Moor cost less and reach either coast easily, which makes them practical bases for a two-coast week. For every camping style in the county, see campsites in Cornwall.
