Hendra Holiday Park

Hendra Holiday Park sits on the southern edge of Newquay, a family-run park with holiday homes, touring and camping pitches dating to 1972. Accommodation sleeps up to six, with room layouts ranging from a king and two twins in the caravans to a four-bedroom house with a king, a bunk, a second king and two more twins. Check-in runs from 17:00 and check-out is 10:00. Rated 8.2 from 75 reviews on Booking.com, with a 9.1 score for location.

The Oasis Fun Pools cover a heated indoor pool and a seasonal outdoor pool, among the largest indoor pool complexes in the South West. The park runs three on-site eateries serving British and pizza menus, plus a bar and games room. Live music and family entertainment run through the season, and there's a dedicated indoor play area for younger children.

Newquay town and its train station are 2.2 miles away, and Newquay Zoo is 2.1 miles from the park. Cornwall Airport Newquay is 5.6 miles, and the Eden Project is 17 miles by road. Free on-site parking is included.

Best for families wanting pools, entertainment and eateries without leaving the site. Less good for couples after a quiet, adults-focused base, since the park's programme is built around children's activities.
