Carnevas Holiday Park

Alan Rogers Review of Carnevas Holiday Park

Family run for over 55 years, Carnevas Holiday Park is an attractive, well maintained site clocated in unspoilt countryside and close to the coastal paths and beaches of Porthcothan, Treynarnon and Trevose. Surrounded by breathtaking cliff walks, a working farm, golf, renowned surf beaches, safe & sandy family beaches, historic houses, a wide range of natural history, and of course, the legends of Cornwall. The site has 195 touring pitches as well as mobile homes and chalets to rent. 95 pitches have 10 amp electricity; they are set out on grass, some backing on to low walls, others positioned against hedges or in open fields. From most pitches there are wide ranging views over the surrounding countryside. With its friendly reception, homely bar with terrace serving snacks and takeaway dishes, the site is an ideal place to relax in between exploring the region by car or nipping into Padstow to try out its pasty shops and seafood restaurants.The site does not offer online bookings, preferring to maintain that all important connection with visitors.

No location in Cornwall is far from the coast with its working harbours, and with cows and sheep grazing in lush pastures it comes as no surprise that freshly caught fish, dairy produce and good quality meat are to be found in abundance. Its reputation as a premier location stretches back further than most places can boast - Carnevas being the Iron Age place name meaning 'Fort or Camp on the Hill'. If you prefer to relax with a drink and dine, there are a number of excellent pubs and restaurants, or why not try 'The Jolly Roger' which is situated in the grounds of Carnevas Holiday Park. Cornwall has a great deal to offer the tourist, above and beyond its Cornish pasties and cream teas and careful planning of any holiday here will be well rewarded.
