There are a number of reasons why booking with us through our own website or over the phone is better for you as a customer and also for us as a small family business.

• Accurate Descriptions - We don't have 100% control over all the information on some 3rd party booking websites. Details and descriptions aren't always written in a way that we want and therefore sometime vital information can be missed. Our own website has much more detail about pitch descriptions, sizes and what size units can fit on each pitch. Our booking system is also a little more clever and will only show you availability of pitches that your unit will fit on (as long as you select the right unit from the dropdown list). If you make an error and book a pitch via a 3rd party website that is not suitable for the size of your tent / motorhome or caravan we would have to cancel your booking and as the deposit paid is kept by the booking website as their commission we are not able to refund this.

• Allocation - We don't give our full allocation of available pitches to 3rd party booking pages due to the risk of duplicate bookings so sometimes their websites will show us being fully booked when we do still have pitches available.

• Duplicate bookings can still sometimes happen - there is up to a 15 minute delay between a booking being made on a 3rd party website and it being imported onto our booking system. Occasionally when it is the last available pitch for a certain date someone can book direct on our own website at the same time as via a 3rd party website. If this happens the direct booking will take priority and bookings via 3rd party websites will be cancelled.

• Pitch requests - although we never guarantee any pitch requests we do prioritise request made by those who book direct over those made on other websites.

• Admin fees for date changes - if you accidentally book the wrong date we give a 7 day grace period for date changes to bookings made direct, after this our standard £25 admin fee is applicable. However changes to dates for bookings made via 3rd party websites would have to pay the £25 admin fee from day 1 of booking.

• Price - Not many people realise that 3rd party booking websites charge us as a campsite a commission of up to 15% of your booking total. So even though the price looks the same to you, we as a small family business lose 15% of that income. To encourage more of you to book with us direct we now offer a small discount on bookings made online via our own website when you use the discount code #BOOK-DIRECT

Yes

We offer seasonal touring pitches for holiday use only.

You can view full details incliding prices HERE

If you think you may want a seasonal pitch with us in the future it's a good idea to get your name on the waiting list as soon as possible. Pitches only become available when current seasonal leave so sometimes it may take a couple of years of being on the waiting list before you get offered a place with us.

Portreath is our closest beach at 5.8 miles - about 15 minutes in the car.

But there are loads of fantastic sandy beaches within easy reach of Lanyon Holiday Park, in fact we have 12 within a 10 mile radius!

• Portreath - 6.3 miles
• Godrevy- 8.2 miles
• Gwithian - 9.6 miles
• Hayle - 10.5 miles
• Porthtowan - 7.8 miles
• St Agnes- 12.2 miles
• Swanpool - 12.2 miles

Yes

We accept group bookings but ask that you first contact us via email to let us know about your party size. We cannot guarantee pitches being together in advance so recommend customers to book onto one of our ‘Double Pitches’ if wanting to be together for your holiday.

No, but...

If you have stayed with us previously and would like to request a pitch / certain area of the campsite then we would do our best to accommodate this if possible but we never make any guarantees for a numer of reasons:

• Operational needs of the campsite come first and as we do not specify that everyone has to arrive / depart on the same day of the week so we do have to move bookings around within the same pitch type to butt up arrival and departure dates to free up pitches for other bookings.
• If someone else who booked further in advance has already made the same request then their request will take priority (unless they booked via a 3rd party booking website as we prioritise requests made via direct bookings over 3rd party bookings. Another reason why it's always best to #BOOK-DIRECT).
• Seasonal pitches - half of our pitches are taken by seasonal pitch holders therefore sometimes you could request a pitch that may be allocated to a seasonal and then not available for holiday bookings.

You need to be 100% happy that you may not be allocated your requested pitch before making a booking with us.

We allow BBQs and fire pits throughout the park.

For BBQs if they are low to the ground / disposable please make sure you use the blocks provided so the grass doesn't get burnt.

Fire pits can be rented from us or you can bring your own. For more information on fire pit rental CLICK HERE

We also keep a stock of logs, kindling, firelighters and matches available to purchase should you need them.

If you are bringing you own there are a few rules you must follow:

• We can only allow fully self contained fire pits on legs (they must catch / contain all hot ash).

• Please also use the bricks provided at the toilet block underneath the fire pit to create a barrier from the heat and the grass otherwise we get scorch marks.

• You MUST have a red fire bucket filled with water & visible AT ALL TIMES, if you don’t have one you can borrow one from us for £2.

• All fire pits must be a safe distance from yours and other peoples tents / awnings. Don’t overload with wood and create big & dangerous fires and be aware of wind direction. If we think your fire is in a dangerous position or out of control we will come and put it out.

• All fires must be put out before bed.

• No hot ash in the bins.

We offer a FREE wifi service on site. However certain factors out of our control may affect signal strength and consistency so you wont get the same speed as you do in your own home.

Volume of traffic - we have one wifi for our campsite & cottages and even though we have a good overall download speed we have to limit the download speed per device connected so that there is enough internet for everyone.

Our campsite wifi is therefore intended for emails and general web browsing only and not streaming videos.

We recommend downloading any content / videos before you come away so you can watch them uninterrupted offline whilst staying with us.

We do have two EV charging points available behind our reception building. You are prohibited from charging any electric vehicles anywhere else on the campsite and be fined if caught doing so.

Yes, we currently have a range of new holiday homes for sale with us at Lanyon Holiday Park. Check out or sales page for more information on our availability and to book a viewing.

Yes

We are a dog friendly campsite.

We generally allow maximum 2 dogs per pitch however occasionally we may allow more depending on the time of year you want to come away so please get in touch via our contact us page to double check if you have more than 2 dogs.

We do ask that dogs are kept on a lead or tether at all times around the campsite and on your pitch for the following reasons:

• Even if you have a very well behaved / non reactive dog, if they are off lead and innocently wander up to another dog on a lead / tether that other dog may not react so well having another dog enter their space.
• Some children (and adults) are afraid of dogs - no matter how big or small - and would not like a strangers dog coming up to them.
• Wandering dogs tend to go to the toilet without their owners noticing.

We have a dog walking paddock on the holiday park where you can let your four legged friend off their lead to have a sniff about, go to the toilet and have a play with any other doggy friends they may meet on the campsite.

Please note that this area is not fully enclosed so dogs off lead will need to have good recall - there are a number of beaches in the area where you can take your dog for a good amount of daily exercise. Take a look at our dog friendly beach guide here.

There are a couple of options if you either don't drive or live a long way away and don't want to drive all the way to Cornwall.

Train, Coach & Bus Transportation 

Our closest major train station is Redruth which is just 3 miles from Lanyon Holiday Park. Major coach companies such as National Express & Megabus stop here.

From here you can then catch the number 34 bus to Four Lanes which stops at the top of our road - Loscombe Lane. We are then a few minutes walk away. We would advise a taxi from the train station if you had luggage.

TR16 6LP

Here is our google maps location:

Touring & Camping arrivals are from 1pm.

No

Unfortunately we cannot pre-plan early arrivals as we do not have anywhere on site for you to park up and wait for departures to leave.

If you want to travel in the early hours of the morning you would need to find somewhere else suitable to park up and wait. Cornwall Services on the A30 is a good option as this is the only major services on the A30 with parking for caravans in the summer holidays - it can become very busy and you might not get a space so make sure you have a back up plan.

You can then phone the campsite from 11am to see if your pitch is ready - if it is and we have no pitch maintenance to do (grass cutting etc) then we are generally happy for you to head on over early.

Alternatively you could book the pitch for the evening prior to your arrival and we would then allow you to arrive on site from 9am. We cannot allow any arrivals too early as this could disturb other guests.

Yes

There is a bus stop in our local village that will take you to multiple locations. Redruth is the closest town with a train station that can link you to multiple hotspot towns in Cornwall such as St Ives, Falmouth, Newquay or Truro.

If you are in a motorhome and want to hire a car once you have arrived at Lanyon Holiday Park Europcar offer a delivery and collection car hire service click HERE for more information.

Yes

We have three pubs close to us at Lanyon Holiday Park. The closest is ‘The Sportsmans Arms’ a small traditional Cornish pub that have expanded with the addition of a local produce shop and pizzas. The next is The Victoria Inn, just a minute or so further up the road, this pub was renovated a few years back so has a more modern feel and offers lunch time & evening meals. The last is the Countryman Inn, a bit further but still do able on foot if you like a walk, offering entertainment, food and drink in a traditional setting.

Yes, but...

You need to book taxi's well in advance and book your return journey especially in the summer as the taxi firms get VERY busy.

CLICK HERE for a list of taxi numbers that service our area.

Yes

Gwithian beach is well known for being dog friendly.

Some may have seasonal restrictions, CLICK HERE for our dog friendly beach guide.

Yes

Our obvious option is the beach!

But if you are looking for a few different ideas in case it's not beach weather when you are staying with us here are a few of our favourite days out with kids in tow and the distance to get to them from Lanyon Holiday Park:

Too much for one trip!

We have now lived in Cornwall for 20+ years and are still amazed that we find new favourite things to do. There are so many options but here are a few things we think are worth doing: 

1. Get a pasty! - Our personal favourite is from ‘The Slipway’ in St Ives.
2. Visit the ‘Three miles of Golden Sand’ only 16 miles from us you can park up at Godrevy beach and at low tide, walk all the way across to Hayle beach. Of course, you don’t have to walk the full way to appreciate the beautiful open beach or explore the vast hilly sand dunes but it is a must see on a sunny day.
3. Check out the harbour town on Porthleven - This is a beautiful spot that we visit throughout the year come sunshine or rain! With great food and drink options from Origin coffee to the fantastic Harbour Inn beer garden. You can do long walks to Loe Bar and back or just enjoy an ice cream sat on the harbour wall.
