A note from the site themselves...

Hendra has something for everyone, to entertain all ages. One of the most special things about Hendra is that it has been run by the same family for over 50 years, now ran by the third generation. Many of our guests came to Hendra when they were children and now are bringing their own children or grandchildren! It is lovely to read and hear about our guests memories of Hendra.

Hendra cares about being a sustainable business, so we can keep providing memorable family holidays for generations to come. We have renewable energy sources on the park, as well as providing a great environment for the local wildlife. Our grounds are often praised by guests, with our beautiful groomed gardens, wildflowers, shrubs, trees and expansive green areas.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches (Pet Friendly)Oct 2024

Great place to stay although can be expensive in the summer. The site has lots of activities for everyone and the entertainment was good. The swimming pool is great and thoroughly enjoyed and worth the extra cost. The toilet block was spotless! To the point we were questioning whether other vans were using it! It was cleaned constantly throughout the day. Security staff were lovely and warden rode around every night checking on the site to give that added security. All staff that we interacted with on site were pleasant and polite and we honestly couldn't fault them. Our only issue was we had a lot of rain on the day we arrived meaning grass pitches were muddy but not flooded. As we arrived they had just cut the grass and this then made the pitch more squelchy and muddy. Other than that, we had a great time and would definitely be returning in the future.

Great time at Hendra

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJul 2024

Hendra Park is in great location, 3 miles from Centre of Newquay. The staff, facilities and service were very good. My only gripes would be the outdoor pool was really cold, supposedly heated. My granddaughters had to come out as it was too cold. Also, our pitch was by the busy road, so not ideal for sleeping.

Amazing place!

FAQ

Hendra is one of the most popular holiday parks in Cornwall for good reason. We rate it highly and review scores are typically 9/10 or better. Availability can be limited during peak times and early bookings are recommended.

The Oasis Fun Pools at Hendra are one of the park's highlights. Open from late March each year, there are two fantastic pools (indoor and outdoor) as well as a rapid river ride, three flumes, a gentle fun slide, water cannon and more. The outdoor complex is free of charge for all holiday park guests with entertainment passes, while a charge of £3 per session applies to the indoor pool. If you plan to use the pool a lot, you can save money by purchasing blocks of passes in advance. The outdoor pool is open from May until September and heated between the spring bank holiday and August bank holiday. Height restrictions apply to some rides and flumes.

Hendra welcome camping and touring guests with pets into their Pine, Tamarisk, Fairway, Acorn and Chestnut fields, allowing up to two dogs per booking. Pets are not allowed in pods. Dogs must be kept on leads while on the park and, as a family park, breeds and crossbreeds listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act are not permitted. Pets are not allowed into entertainment venues, restaurants (other than outside at the Terrace Restaurant) or the swimming pool complex. however, there is a dog walking area on site. Off site, there are plenty of dog friendly beaches, pubs and visitor attractions nearby.

Hendra is within easy reach of several of Cornwall's best sandy beaches, all with excellent facilities, including: * Great Western Beach (2.1 miles), popular with surfers and families alike. * Lusty Glaze Beach (2.1 miles), a fabulous horseshoe shaped cove. * Porth Beach (2.1 miles), easily accessible and pushchair friendly, with welcoming The Mermaid pub on hand. * Tolcarne Beach (2.3 miles), the perfect beach?
