The park contains a shop for self catering essentials and a launderette. Many of our touring pitches are fully serviced and there is a clean and well maintained shower block.

About Padstow - Cornwall
Information about Padstow - Cornwall
Padstow is a popular coastal town perhaps best known for Rick Stein's seafood Restaurant and the Camel Trail which starts (or finishes) in Padstow. Padstow's port is still in use and Rick Stein's restaurant is by no means the only outlet in the locality where you can enjoy freshly caught local seafood.
The Camel Trail - ideal for cyclists or keen walkers - runs alongside the River Camel following the route of an old tramline. This would formerly have brought Granite and other bulk trade goods down from Bodmin Moor to be shipped out from Padstow. Now it has been reclaimed as a popular leisure facility allowing exploration from Padstow as far as the edge of Bodmin Moor.
On May Day, Padstow throngs with visitors who flock to the town to see the Obby Oss procession. This unique spring ritual features the Red and the Black "Oss" who celebrate the return of Spring in a manner dating back into Padstow's distant pagan past.
The wealth that accompanied Padstow's export boom is still evident around the town with fine architecture and buildings dating back to the medieval period. For holiday makers, Padstow is an excellent place to experience some "proper Cornish" atmosphere and from which to explore further along the north coast, taking in Port Isaac and Tintagel to the north and Newquay to the south.
