About East Crinnis Holiday Park

East Crinnis is a family run place in an ideal setting, just half a mile from the ocean and pretty fishing village of Charlestown. Large pitches are provided, at least 8m x 8m in size, and you'll have the choice of hardstanding or grass, with optional 16-Amp electric. All pitches are level and offer some privacy for your break. Or, would you prefer to lounge in a kingsize bed and toast yourself beside the wood burner in a stylish geodome? There are two pet friendly domes on the park. Alternatively, relax in a fully furnished yurt which sleeps up to four inside. Why not try a range of luxurious, dog friendly log cabins with 2 - 3 bedrooms inside for all the family.

Camping and touring pitches open between March and October, while yurts and geodomes open between Easter and September. The log cabins are open all year round.

A note from the site themselves...

East Crinnis Farm was originally established by my great granddad William Olford in the late 1800's. Prior, East Crinnis had been a thriving mining community with the 19th century being the peak of production from Tin and Copper.

During the 1920's, the farm expanded and gained productivity especially leading up to and during the Second World War.

During the second half of the 20th century, my grandfather, Roger Olford, farmed with the arrival of holidaymakers staying in the farmhouse. In 1989, Glyn and Betty (mum) started a small certified location campsite beginning with just five pitches.

Year after year they added to it and by 2005 they had built three log cabins. In 2010 I came back to run the site and now with my family, we are developing the site every year.

Following on from University, I travelled and worked in various hospitality environments from the USA to Holland, Austria and South America before returning to my beloved Cornwall and spending ten years as an operational manager at the Eden Project.

We run the site how we would like to holiday ourselves and we like to maintain a friendly, peaceful, safe, extremely clean site which respects the habitat and environment around it.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesSep 2023

I can not recommend this holiday park enough, it was my first time camping & I am so glad I chose this site to stay at. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The facilities were clean, safe & in full working order. The location was 20 minute walk to the nearest beach. The showers were lovely and hot, the grass around the site was well maintained, rubbish was cleaned daily, I felt very safe leaving the tent while I went out for the day. They have a microwave, small freezer, kettle and huge chess on the lawn game. They also have a shop with a huge variety of items from milk, snacks, bread etc. They even have a breakfast/lunch menu at certain times of the day serving pizza, paninis and ice cream. The pond has a few ducks that are very friendly. I would totally stay here again. I can not fault it. It was lovely and quiet and you can hear the birds/owls. I saw a few rabbits enjoying the morning dawn. There is a daily notice board that shows the weather of the day, sunrise/set and tide times so you can plan your day accordingly. I have to say thanks to the wonderful staff for maintaining the holiday park. They made my first camping trip very memorable. Hats off to you!!

We’ve found our second home

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2023

The staff were very friendly and helpful, took us to our pitch and then as we requested to stay an extra day they looked there and then to see availability. The one we were booked on was already booked for then so they gave us a choice of picking whichever pitch we liked. It was so quiet & you could have a choice of pitches that were surrounded by bushes, giving you privacy or a more open pitch, which was lovely. Toilets & showers were super clean and looked quite new. We stayed out of school holidays but it looked like they'd just done children's trails at the half term, which would be great for kids. It was a little shop but there are plenty of shops only a short drive if you need them & a lovely pub a short walk away, which does lovely food. We loved it and shall definitely return. We met lots of lovely people in the area, such a friendly place.

FAQ

Check-in for camping and touring is from 12:30pm-6pm and between 2:30pm-8:30pm for glamping. On day of departure, you must vacate your pitch by 11:30am for camping/touring, and by 10am for glamping.

Up to two dogs are welcome to join you on your stay, provided they are well behaved and kept on a lead whilst onsite. A two acre field is located above the pond area here and is ideal for dog walks, and it's just a short stroll onto the South West Coast Path and 25 minutes by foot to Spit Beach, the closest dog friendly beach.

Campfires are permitted on your pitch provided they are in a fire pit, metal fire basket, or chiminea, and prevent damage to the ground - BBQs are also welcome, as long as they are kept raised off the grass, and the site can supply bricks if required.

Youngsters can enjoy a runaround in the handcrafted play area here equipped with tower slide, climbing frames, swings, see-saws, and the sports area onsite is ideal for ball games. Challenge yourselves on the giant chessboard or take a walk and discover a range of secret trails here too - free fishing is also available (rod licence required) and you can also enjoy seasonal entertainment from live music to quizzes, with prizes to be won too.

One of Cornwall's most famous attractions, the Eden Project, is just a five minute drive from the site and well worth a visit to explore the tropical Rainforest Biome, while a short 20 minute stroll takes you to sandy Crinnis beach, and the South West Coast Path is a mere 15/20 minutes away. Wander through Charlestown's vibrant harbour and soak up the naval history at the town's Shipwreck Treasure Museum or admire the ships from a bygone era, used for many film/TV sets including Poldark. Other attractions nearby include: *The Lost Gardens of Heligan (9.4 miles), explore its outdoor jungle before a picnic on the Pleasure Grounds. *Tintagel Castle (29.4 miles), rich with Arthurian legend, this English Heritage Site overlooks Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

Pup tents and gazebos are allowed for a small nightly charge. Sorry, awnings are not permitted.


During the summer holidays there are a range of activities onsite to keep children entertained! Every Tuesday there is magical storytelling around the campfire, there is live music every Wednesday for all of the family to enjoy, and Sunday is treasure hunt night!

The Shack also sells cooked breakfasts and evening takeaways during the school holidays so everything you need is catered for!

Also in the school holidays is Carlyon Beach's pop up bar and food which is just a 20 minute walk from site and offers some more activities. Or, you can take part in water sports at Polkerris Beach!

Beaches along the Cornish Coast are in easy reach and the unmissable coastal path is just 15-20 mins away. Plus you can nip to the harbour of Charlestown and watch the lazy bobbing of the boats.

One of the most famous attractions in the county, the Eden Project is only 40 minutes from your base, or an easy drive will also take you to the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

If you fancy exploring the coastline, the northern coastline is a handy 16 miles away or half hour away from the park.
