Why Choose a Seasonal Pitch in Cornwall?

Why Choose a Seasonal Pitch in Cornwall?

There’s something special about returning to Cornwall whenever you feel like it. Whether it’s a sunny weekend in June, a relaxing break in September or a spontaneous escape after work, having your touring caravan already set up means you can spend less time planning and more time enjoying everything Cornwall has to offer.

At Lanyon Holiday Park, our seasonal pitches in Cornwall offer exactly that. Instead of towing your caravan back and forth every weekend, you can leave it safely in place throughout the season, ready whenever you are.

If you've ever thought about taking the stress out of regular caravan holidays, here's why a seasonal pitch could be the perfect choice.


What Is a Seasonal Pitch?

A seasonal pitch allows you to keep your touring caravan on the same pitch for the entire holiday season.

Rather than towing your caravan each time you visit, you simply arrive, unlock the door and start enjoying your holiday. Your awning, outdoor furniture and holiday essentials can often stay in place, making every visit quick, easy and relaxing.

For many of our guests, it feels like having a second home in Cornwall without the costs and commitments of owning a holiday property.


Spend More Time Enjoying Cornwall

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a seasonal pitch in Cornwall is the freedom to visit whenever you like.

Instead of spending hours preparing, towing, setting up and packing away, your holiday begins the moment you arrive.

That means more time to:

  • Explore Cornwall's stunning coastline
  • Visit local villages and attractions
  • Enjoy beach days with the family
  • Walk the South West Coast Path
  • Relax by your caravan with a barbecue after a day out

Whether you're staying for two nights or two weeks, every visit feels effortless.


Save the Stress of Towing Every Weekend

Towing a caravan can be enjoyable, but it also takes planning, fuel and time.

A seasonal pitch removes much of that hassle.

Many caravan owners tell us they use their caravan far more often once it's permanently set up for the season because spontaneous weekends become much easier.

When the weather forecast suddenly promises sunshine, you're ready to go.


A Great Base for Exploring Cornwall

Lanyon Holiday Park is ideally situated in South Cornwall, close to both coasts, making it an excellent base for discovering everything the county has to offer.

From here you can easily visit:

  • St Ives
  • Porthleven
  • Falmouth
  • St Michael's Mount
  • The Lizard Peninsula
  • Godrevy Beach
  • Portreath
  • Penzance
  • Truro

Because we're centrally located near Redruth, many of Cornwall's most popular destinations are within easy driving distance.


Enjoy a Friendly Community Atmosphere

One of the things many guests love most about having a seasonal pitch is becoming part of the Lanyon community.

Throughout the season you'll get to know familiar faces, enjoy conversations with fellow caravan owners and build friendships that last for years.

Many of our seasonal guests have been returning for a long time, creating a welcoming atmosphere for newcomers while enjoying the peaceful surroundings our park is known for.


Excellent Facilities for Comfortable Stays

When you're staying regularly, good facilities make all the difference.

At Lanyon Holiday Park you'll have access to:

  • Heated indoor swimming pool
  • Children's play area
  • Games room
  • Modern shower and toilet facilities
  • Laundry facilities
  • Washing-up areas
  • Spacious grounds
  • Dog walking paddock

Everything is designed to help make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.


Bring Your Dog Along

Cornwall is one of the UK's favourite destinations for dog owners.

With countless countryside walks, woodland trails and dog friendly beaches in Cornwall, there's always somewhere new to explore together.

Our dog walking paddock makes exercising your four-legged friend easy before or after a day out, and many nearby beaches welcome dogs throughout much of the year.


Caravan Storage in Cornwall

If you're not ready for a seasonal pitch, or you'd simply like somewhere secure to keep your touring caravan between holidays, we also offer caravan storage in Cornwall.

Many of our guests choose storage because it reduces towing distances while making regular visits to Cornwall much easier.

If your circumstances change later, you may even decide that moving onto one of our seasonal pitches is the perfect next step.


Why Choose Lanyon Holiday Park?

We believe holidays should be about slowing down, switching off and enjoying quality time together.

Located near Redruth, Lanyon Holiday Park offers peaceful countryside surroundings while remaining within easy reach of Cornwall's beaches, attractions and coastal towns.

Our seasonal guests enjoy:

  • A quiet, family-friendly atmosphere
  • Spacious pitches
  • Excellent facilities
  • Easy access to both the north and south coasts
  • A welcoming community of returning visitors
  • Dog-friendly surroundings
  • Convenient access from the A30

Whether you're new to caravanning or have been touring for years, our seasonal pitches provide an easy way to enjoy Cornwall more often.

Discover the Magic of the South West Coast Path

Exploring the Cornish Coast: Discover the Magic of the South West Coast Path

Stretching for hundreds of miles along some of England’s most spectacular coastline, the South West Coast Path is one of the UK’s most famous walking routes. While the trail runs through several counties, many walkers would agree that the Cornish section is the most dramatic, scenic, and unforgettable.

From towering cliffs and hidden coves to charming fishing villages and sweeping sandy beaches, the Cornish coastline offers some of the most breathtaking walking routes in the country. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or simply looking for a leisurely seaside stroll during your holiday, the South West Coast Path provides endless opportunities to explore the natural beauty of Cornwall.


A Trail Through Cornwall’s Most Spectacular Landscapes

The Cornish section of the path covers around 300 miles of coastline, running from the border at Bude in the north all the way to Plymouth in the south. Along the way, walkers are treated to ever-changing scenery — rugged cliffs, rolling headlands, wild moorland, and secluded beaches.

Some of the most iconic coastal views can be found near Tintagel, where the cliffs plunge dramatically into the Atlantic Ocean, and around the stunning turquoise waters of Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula.

Further west, the path reaches the legendary Land's End, where vast ocean views stretch as far as the eye can see. It’s a place that perfectly captures the wild beauty of Cornwall’s coastline.


Walks for Every Ability

One of the best things about the South West Coast Path is that you don’t need to walk the entire trail to enjoy it. Many visitors choose shorter sections that can be explored in a few hours, making it perfect for a day out during your stay in Cornwall.

Some popular types of walks include:

  • Gentle coastal strolls between seaside villages

  • Clifftop adventures with panoramic ocean views

  • Circular routes that combine beaches, countryside and coastal paths

  • Wildlife walks, where you may spot seals, seabirds, or even dolphins offshore

Every stretch of the path offers something different, meaning you can experience a new view or hidden corner of Cornwall every time you set out.


Discover Cornwall’s Coastal Villages

Highlights include the picturesque harbour of Port Isaac, the artistic coastal town of St Ives, and the postcard-perfect streets of Mousehole. Each village has its own character, history, and welcoming atmosphere.


The Perfect Addition to Your Cornwall Holiday

Staying in Cornwall places you within easy reach of some of the most beautiful sections of the South West Coast Path. Whether you’re planning a full day of walking or simply want to enjoy a peaceful seaside stroll, the trail offers a wonderful way to experience Cornwall’s natural beauty.

After a day exploring dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and charming coastal villages, there’s nothing better than returning to your pitch to relax and reflect on the views you’ve discovered along the way.

For many visitors, a walk along the South West Coast Path becomes one of the highlights of their Cornwall holiday — and once you’ve experienced it for yourself, it’s easy to see why.
