I've stayed at hendra a few times. The park is really clean. The staff are helpful and can't do enough to help you. I haven't been to the entertainment but I've heard its really good.
The shop has just about everything you could need. You can hire things you might if forgotten. The only bad thing is WiFi signal, its really bad.
As a 1st time camper, I really didn't know what to expect. There were 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 kids (age 3 and 6). Upon arrival, we were quickly given our pitch no. And site location. The customer service was quick and friendly.
Our pitch was located against the edge of the pitch field and slightly sloped. This caused my kids to roll towards me in the middle of the night. Also, walking around the inside of the tent was a bit of an inconvenience. There was drinking water facility located near our pitch which was great.
The shower block was located close by too. The whole of the park was very clean and tidy. The main entertainment block was adequate, but finding seating would mean turning up early and staying in your seats unless you wanted to lose them.
The cost of the drinks and food in the park was extortionate, as a 1st time camper we had no cooking facility and was dependant on eating out. Something I will not do again. The play park for the kids was good and never overcrowded.
The outdoor swimming pool was signed as being 22 - 24 degrees, I would definitely argue that. As my kids lips turned blue after about 5 mins of being in the pool, bating in mind the whole week we were there was sunny and next to no clouds.
The indoor pool was great value, we went inside when my kids didn't enjoy the outside pool. The prices in the local shop was reasonable with freshly baked croissants in the morning, there were delicious too. All in all, I would probably return to this park and recommend it to others.
The staff are friendly and welcoming, the kids were kept entertained. But I would definitely be asking for a level pitch.
Welcomed on site on arrival and shown on map our pitch. Site further from Newquay than we thought but good location.
Site is very well laid out and didn't feel as big as it was.
Toilet and shower facilities were excellent and the cleaning Staff were really good at keeping at keeping them clean from morning till night come rain or shine!
Bar terrace good, WiFi not bad, prices OK, amusements all good well laid out, didn't use upstairs entertainment as too busy for us.
Pool complex good and closed to public on rainy days to allow holiday makers good access which was good.
We felt pitch size a little tight once tent was up, passengers had to exit car to park in gap we had and whilst activities on site would like to see more for teenagers that were free or small cost such as basketball area.
Overall we enjoyed holiday there and would go again.
Arrived and had a very easy and smooth check in, precise directions given to pitch. Very big well kept pitch, immaculate toilets and shower blocks, park kept very tidy throughout,
Friendly and helpful staff, good entertainment for kids and adults, excellent indoor and outdoor pools, morrisons nearby, booked to go back next year, would highly recommend
We arrived at around 13:30 on Monday 3rd August, as we also had friends joining us later in the week we were given their pitch and details initially, hubby sorted that out and we were given the corner pitch in Pine, very big and roomy but very near to the exit barrier on the other side of the wall so noisy as well as noise coming from the main road.
We stayed at Hendra 3 years ago and were pitched in Oak, much better for an undisturbed nights sleep!
The site hasn't changed much, is still beautifully cared for and clean but sadly my 13. 5yr old Stepdaughter was bored as not much for her age range other than the arcades and skate park, she used the outdoor pool but was beaten by the weather and sadly the Oasis didn't hold her attention for long, so my thoughts on that are if you are 10 and below there is lots to do but teenagers not so much.
I would definitely recommend Hendra to anyone, however because of the above we won't be visiting again sadly.
With sea and countryside views, Tregarton Park is ideal for couples or families with younger children, given its relaxed seclusion and proximity to so many of Cornwall's fine safe sandy beaches. Large grass and hardstanding pitches with electric, divided by hedging and shrubs, perfect for tents and tourers. No statics! Superb toilet and shower block with large glass shower cubicles operated by motion sensors with ceiling mounted shower heads, laundry room, baby changing station.
This peaceful park is home to an outdoor heated swimming pool with waiter service, tennis court, adventure playground, outdoor football table, table tennis, pool table, large shop and take away service. FREE WiFi, dog walking meadow. Pentewan Beach is just five minutes away! Find out more here
This was the first and will be the last time we go to Hendra. I have registered on this site to write this review which is something I never do.
The toilets were clean and the shop is very well stocked, also it is located in a good enough location to visit newquays and crantocks beaches.
The reason we don't like this site is due to the type of place it is. It is very much geared up for families that travel in groups with lots of children. They are obviously keen on offering cheap drinks and lots of slush puppies so that these groups can stay in the club house until gone midnight. They then leave making as much noise as possible (this happened every night)
We booked the site as we have a little one and wanted to take advantage of the heated indoor pool, soft play area and playgrounds. The playgrounds had fag ends in, the soft play area had dangerous hard parts to it and the indoor pool had a charge and was over crowded and not very warm (also had a time limit to how long).
The first pitch we were given had MacDonald wrappers, food and metal bbq skewers all over it. We were immediately moved to a pitch that had loads of water balloons in the grass which wasn't great for the little one. The pitch we wanted wasn't available due to recent bad weather (when I checked there wasn't anything wrong with the filed) so were placed in the maple field which has a lot of noise from the main.
I think the site needs to look at itself a little and think about the reputation they want and the type of customers they need. The experience I had of the staff is that they aren't really that bothered.
They have had some great reviews hence the reason I wanted to add my opinion of our stay.
Just back from a stay at our first stay at Hendra. Staff were lovely and eager to help which came in useful when upon arriving at our chosen paid for pitch we found it wasn't what we had booked back in January. No worries the Manager Scott said we could spread out on to adjoining pitch as it wasn't ever used. This spreading out over 1. 5 pitches obviously irritated the wardens as we were twice visited by different people telling us we had to move. We didn't and just referred them back to Scott. Annoying really as all we wanted to do was relax after a 8 hour journey. Anyway provided you pick the right pitch things are hunky dory.
A lot of pitches slope side to side so levelling ramps are a must something which is not mentioned. Park is large and toilet blocks water and cdp can be a trek from some pitches. Prices for pool seemed reasonable but my main gripe is that the only cash machine is in the independent shop and charges for withdrawals. Not good.
Nearest supermarket Morrisons DOES NOT have cash machines anymore but you can get cashback on your purchases. Newquay is only 15 min away unless of course you get stuck in the holiday traffic. Another gripe is the lack of enforcement taking place stopping scooter riders using scooters in public areas where signs prohibit.
Staff just turned a blind eye to this practise despite some of the scooter riders reaching excessive speeds. All in all we enjoyed our week despite the rain but we would have to consider returning
Wow, I have never stayed on a site with such good customer service. We arrived at about 3pm on a Saturday, and there was a new arrivals sign up, that led you to a field, where we were met by a young man who directed us to a reception area.
Check in was quick, and the girl gave very precise directions to our pitch, she also showed me where the 24 hour phone number was in the booklet, in case of any problems at any time.
I had booked a full serviced super pitch, we got pitch number 9. Now we couldn't hook up our water or waste, as you need about 10-12 metres of piping and we didn't have enough, the pitch next door only needed about 5 metres as the service bollard isn't in the middle. This is because you have to pitch caravan, awning, car. The awning pads are a gravel topped area, would have preferred grass, this stuff gets bought into the caravan constantly.
The toilet and shower blocks are kept very clean, which is no mean feat with the amount of people using them. My only big gripe is that the showers do not have a curtain or door between the changing area and the actual shower, the shower heads are also fixed and you have to have everything in in a bag, hung up on the side coat hook, to stop it getting soaking wet.
Although this is a busy site, everyone respected the 10pm noise curfew. There is a field that kids can play football etc, but most liked to play round the caravans, which is not good as there is very little spare space, and resulted in a ball hitting our van twice, and also going underneath a lot of times.
The best thing is you can walk into Newquay, it took us 35 minutes, there is one steep climb towards the end, it is also has a Morrisons supermarket, that you can walk to in 15 minutes, as well as a Lidl in walking distance.
Initial enquiries about the site indicated it was 'gently sloping', on that basis went ahead and booked the largest available touring pitch.
On arriving on the site booking in was simple, a detailed plan of the site was given and booked pitch marked. The pitch was large but gently sloping it wasnt, one end of the outfit was on the ground the other high off the ground which made the pitching of an awning difficult to say the least, another drawback was that the pitch was under some rather large trees which shaded most of the area!
That's the negatives over, the toilet block was immaculate and was being continually cleaned from early morning to around tea time. The facilities were as described, nice and clean and no 'Rip
Off' in the club. The shop and take away outlets were good and good value.
I filled a questionnaire suggesting that the brochure be more descriptive noting tree covered areas and mentioning that the site isn't gently scooping.
Overall a very good holiday, if I go again would be more selective with the pitch requested.
Great site as always, hendra is always clean and tidy, close to newquay and all amenities, staff helpful, good pitches, lawns and hedges well kept, shower blocks and toilets clean, overall a nice site with plenty of well kept large pitches, supermarkets /fast food etc etc just down the road, all good thanks

We stayed at this site on Friday eve 1st May 2015, and herewith give our feedback on our experience.
Hospitality
Without a doubt 10 out of 10, on arrival we ‘were greeted’ with a smile, and the friendly character of the two staff members on reception, who was able to book us in, give details of our stay, and willing to answer any questions we had.
Facilities
9 out of 10, In my opinion could do with sign on bollard at end of toilet block, stating toilet block. It was confusing to me with it been our first time, where the toilet block was as the toilet block was secluded behind bushes, hedge. Although there is site map included in information given out at reception, when you are new to a place it can be confusing to figure out where you are on site, to the location of facilities until you get your bearings, and settled in. When you have been driving a long time and you need to go, all information helps.
There were stones on road outside Oasis, and stones on tarmac in car park area near Oasis. Although these are minor issues, considering there are at times wardens driving around site; it’s a bit lacking that none of them stopped to sweep the stones away. We arrived at 9 am on the Friday, and the stones were still there when we departed Saturday morning.
Only one hand dryer in both male, and female toilet block which we used. Considering the size of the site and the amount of urinals and cubicles, we both thought three driers would be more useful, especially during busier times.
Pricing
10 out of 10, we found the pricing excellent for what the site offers.
Cleanliness
9 out of 10, No rubbish seen anywhere, deducted one point for the stones as mentioned above.
Would we stay again?
Definitely yes, when we next down in Newquay area.
What a lovelly site, we were impressed how tidy and clean the site was kept especially as it is huge. All the staff are extremely friendly and always willing to help.
As previous review we were also in orchard and glad too. Alot less road noise and we enjoy walking to the main area. We were surprised how the site quietened down in the evenings.
The toilet block was constantly checked and cleaned through out the day.
The buses run from stop at entrance into Newquay every hour and only costs £6. 60 return for 2adults and 2children bargain!
We really enjoyed our stay here, plenty to do but also peaceful to sit and chill-especially on our field.
Booked quite late for this one, less than a month before a trip in early August.
Got a phone call straight away stating that our Vango Diablo could be accommodated but the only place was down in the orchard field & that the showers/ toilets were not permanent buildings & was that ok ?
Fine by us.
Booking in was a breeze, two very polite & friendly you ladies had everything ready & prepared. On finding our pitch another member of staff popped up with advice on where to pitch & park, again helpful & friendly.
To be honest it was great being that little bit further away from the main hub of things but even then it was little over a five minute walk & well off the main road, avoiding all the noise that than can cause.
The facilities are top notch & for once the sun did shine allowing us to take advantage of the outdoor pool as well as the indoor complex, which is just sheer fun.
I really shouldn't enjoy the water sides so much at nearly 50.
We go down each year to Newquay to visit relatives & to be honest we have tried other sites but always end up comparing them to Hendra.
Simply on the facilities provided & the friendliness & work ethic of the staff I doubt very much we'll book anywhere different again.
Thank you Hendra & especially thank you to your staff, we had a great time.
Good site with good facilities; need tickets at extra cost for the pool and there are lots of extra cost activities on offer.
We're not into clubbing and so on so it wasn't really our cup of tea but it was relatively peaceful away from the main centre and all the facilities and site were well kept; only blot on the landscape was the chemical toilet disposal which was a bit unpleasant; oh and the constant radio playing in the toilets.
Very large, very well run site - despite it being fully booked Easter bank holiday weekend.
Very Clean in all areas - good toilets, showers and other facilities.
Well stocked shop.
Bit of noise from club - but this finished at a reasonable time.
Bus into Newquay at site entrance - £3. 30 single return this weekend.
Rally weekend - excellent.
