About the site


This is a small, quiet and peaceful family-run park, ideally located in North Cornwall just 15 minutes from sandy beaches and within ten minutes of Padstow's harbour and Wadebridge and the Camel trail. Many of the pitches for both touring and camping are individually screened with ornamental trees and shrubs, providing a little more privacy for your holiday. The park's standard Gold Pitches all come with electric hook-up and a hedged boundary. These are suitable for tents, campervans, single axle caravans and motorhomes (on gravel only). Pitches sized at 6m x 8m. If you're in need of extra space, they have large electric grass pitches suitable for tents, campervans, and caravans. They are 12m x 8m - most do not have a hedged boundary. They also have large electric gravel pitches suitable for twin-axle caravans and large motorhomes, these pitches are 10 x 6m with a hedged boundary. Or there's the standard Silver Pitches which do not have electric hook up and do not have a hedged boundary - sized at 6m x 8m. Suitable for tents and campervans. Opt for the bell tent to save you the hassle of hammering in tent pegs, furnished with a double bed and two small z-beds it sleeps up to four. Bedding is included and shared facilities are nearby. The bell tents have an electric hook up and measure a spacious 12m x 8m. If it isn't camping without a campfire, the site has a limited number of fire pits for guests to hire, so that you can toast marshmallows of an evening. Dogs are welcome to join you if you are camping or touring, unfortunately, dogs are not permitted in the bell tents. There is even an enclosed dog area to let them off lead. Little ones are sure to love the playpark with a trampoline and spacious areas to play! The park also includes a selection of beautifully kitted out and furnished self catering cottages, which offer the chance of a dog friendly stay too. Do note that this is a peaceful family friendly site and large groups are not permitted.

The Laurels Holiday Park is open all year round, with grass pitches and bell tents available from 1st May to 30th September. Pitches from £20/night for 2 people.

Very tidy and well presented site. Amenities were excellent and any backup services can be accessed pretty quickly.

Beautiful small site

Motorhome - Gold Gravel PitchesSep 2025

Beautiful, peaceful, well run site. Only 1 thing I noted was when having a shower the spray out of the shower head was so wide it soaked most of the floor outside the shower area making the tiled floor extremely slippy. Apart from that small thing everything else was perfect, thank you for having us. The fenced dog walk grassed area was much appreciated too for our little dog.

Large Tent - Large Gold Grass Pitches (Extra Large)Aug 2025

The Laurels is a lovely, clean park, quite small with a lot of mixed pitches of variable sizes, well kept and facilities were very clean. The back of the park I found a bit noisy as the main road runs just behind you, but calms down a little in the night. Your car has to fit on your pitch which if you have a large tent, you'll struggle. There is a play area for the kids with a small football pitch and climbing frames, also an area to let the dogs run about which is fenced in. The owners are very friendly and were always about and around. You can purchase a net of logs and firelighters, as well as rent a fire pit which is good. There is no on site shop for essentials, however, the main supermarkets are within a mile or two away. The park is within a half hour drive from things like the Eden Project or Port Issac, so in a good location for days out to the coast.
