  • On Pentewan coastal village's edges, 10 minutes' drive to St Austell
  • Direct access to the Pentewan Trail; nearest beach a 25-minute walk
Seeking a quiet site in Cornwall for a hol with the kids and dogs? Seek no more: Little Winnick Touring Park, on the banks of the River Winnick and on the edge of the coastal village of Pentewan, is a firmly family-friendly place that welcomes guests of all ages as well as their four-legged friends… If your pup’s eager to sniff out an adventure, bound along the dog-walking field or head to the Roseland Heritage Coast – the park’s on the edges of this protected area and is also excellently placed for hiking and biking around Cornwall’s countryside. It has direct access from the grounds to the Pentewan Cycle Trail, which connects the coastal village of Mevagissey with the Lost Gardens of Heligan via St Austell (just under a 10-minute drive away). So that’s your four-legged friend occupied – but what of the kids? Younger guests are more than sorted thanks to a play area and wildflower meadow to run about in on site, plus a toy basket, sports kit and books that can be borrowed from reception. For small travellers, treats including marshmallows for toasting and freshly picked strawberries are available in the park shop to sate a sweet tooth, along with coffee, newspapers and other essentials for the grownups. Wanting food to cook on your stove among the gorgeous greenery at the park or fancy strolling down the road for supper? A bus stop is outside the grounds with access to supermarkets in nearby towns and the local pub is within easy walking distance. Award-winning and spotless amenities at this site include showers and toilets – the park’s a former Loo of the Year winner – a full-size bath, a washing-up area and a launderette.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Quiet site with adequate facilities….we don’t like club houses and amusements. Dogs were made welcome, cycling was very easy from this site with an off road cycle track that was well maintained and in good condition. Very easy to book additional nights

Disliked: Unfortunate that the morning coffee bakery was closed most of the time…one facility I was looking forward too. However, I don’t think it was boulangerie standard when it was open…I think this is a business opportunity being missed

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Nice quiet site with well laid out level pitches, shop and cafe/coffee shop. Well located for walks to Pentewen, Heligan and Mevagissy and close to bus stops. Clean facilities although the shower block door was always being left open by fellow campers so it was a bit chilly in there. Friendly and helpful reception

Local attractions

There’s lots to see within a short stroll of the site – including the King’s Wood just across the river (under 10 minutes on foot) for wanders. It’s a 40-minute jaunt to the Lost Gardens of Heligan if you fancy flitting about in this 19th-century-inspired botanical space. To switch green scenery for sandy shores, the nearest beach – Pentewan Sands – is about a 25-minute walk away; get in the car for seaside stints further afield such as at the Polperro Heritage Coast. Cornish villages, towns and cities are also top for traipsing about: try Mevagissey (five minutes) and Fowey (25 minutes) to roam beside pretty harbours backed by colourful houses or head to Truro (half an hour) for the well-known cathedral.
