A note from the site themselves...

Our site is very much all about family. With help from my wife Rachael and our children, we are all always working to make the site the best it can be.

Myself and Rachael both work very much hands-on and are on-site most of the time. We are always happy to help visitors out when needed and have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area including places to visit, local beaches, dog walking areas and much more.

We hope you enjoy your time at Polladras, tell all your friends about us and return soon, John

VW-Type Campervan - Gold Hardstanding PitchesDec 2024

Good communication from the team after booking, and take their advice to use their written directions and not your sat nav, which will help avoid the full Cornwall narrow road driving experience (essential if you are towing!) We stayed in December so probably didn't see the site at its best. Facilities are clean, functional and family oriented but perhaps not as high end as other sites. The site itself is very secluded with remote farmland in the immediate surrounding, but is in good striking distance of both north and south coasts, St Ives, The Lizard and Penzance etc. On site there is a games room and an activity area to occupy the family should you not want to travel far. If you are after a good value base to explore the far south west of Cornwall, Polladras should be on your short list.

Peaceful, well presented site
