 This was our first visit to Hendra over the extended Jubilee half term break.
We booked a premium pitch with water, drainage and electricity connected. We were not disappointed, this had to be the best pitch we have ever stayed on in over 8 years of touring. Really liked the level block paving, it made pitching so easy. The pitch was a very good size to and bordered on 3 sides with laurel hedging.
The site has so much to do for Children. The indoor Oasis pool was fantastic fun and a great facility on poor weather days. My kids loved the skate park, every campsite should have one!. We used the restaurant which was good and were thankful for the costcutter supermarket.
On our first day our car broke down. What we thought was a flat battery turned into things more serious and 6 days later we sadly left our car in the garage in Falmouth and our caravan at Hendra. We made our way home by train and returned a week later to pick up car and van.
It was difficult not having mobility but as ex Motorhome owners we soon adjusted. We are forever grateful to the staff and management at Hendra who appreciated our situation and offered to look after the caravan without charge. This was very kind and helped to make a difficult time a little better.
So we cannot speak highly enough of this site, and we very much look forward to returning again soon.

We had 5 nights at Hendra;
Good points - Pool was great for the kids and the entertainment was very lively for all ages.
Bus to Newquay £6 family return, outside the site.
Well stocked shop.
Friendly and helpful receptionist
Plugs in shower block and music.
Great discounts on Reef Surf School 50 % off.
There is a skate park - WOW !
Improvements
Allocation of pitches, we could not fit our van on the pitch despite phoning ahead by 10 weeks of the size. We were moved but to a pitch 10 mins from a shower block. This is not how you want to start the holiday.
Pitches all seem to slope, some two ways and are crammed in in Oak.
Music is loud, to 1 am some days.
Pool is open to non residents so we queued for an hour on a rainy day.
Tips
Buy the swim passes
Take the Bus
The Boathouse in Newquay is great location for diner on the harbour.

We went to Hendra for a long weekend with 2 kids; one surly 14 year old and a 10 year old. Although I wouldn't have chosen this site for myself it was great for a family holiday. It wasn't too busy that weekend but I'm not sure what it's like in high season.
The kids had such a good time in the skatepark and pool that I enjoyed myself thoroughly too.
The caravan was the most basic they do but it was fine. Not amazing but clean and comfortable. We had a small problem with the water but when reported we had someone come just a couple of hours later and he sorted it out quickly (and was very friendly and polite). The toilets were very clean.
The night 'entertainment' is not my cup of tea so can't really comment on that. Everyone seemed to be having a nice time. The kids didn't go to any of the activities for them either and they are a bit past sitting on a train with a blue hippo.
I would have liked more information about the site and the area and the reception team were not very knowledgeable although this could have been because of the time of year (I think lots of staff had just started).
Lots to do locally although the site is a bit away from town. There is a Morrisons and a Lidl just down the road too which is much better value than the Costcutter on Another negative is the cost of the indoor pool although it's great fun.
All in all: Good fun if you're looking for a lively campsite for a family holiday and to be avoided if you're looking for tranquillity.

Great site for families. We were there in low season and loved the quietness of the site. We hadn't planned on staying here but the original site we were at had closed all of it's advertised facilities.
We are just a couple but we wanted a site with facilities so if we wanted a drink or a meal out without driving we could do that. The bonus for us is that we landed in the middle of the Cornish Bluegrass festival which was fab. Not to everyone's taste but it was to ours and livened the site up no end (but not in a lairy way). Reception did forewarn us about the festival and offered us a pitch on their sister site if we wanted
The toilet block on the lower field smelled of blocked drains all of the time but it was clean (thank goodness for the shower in our caravan).
I would recommend this site to young families and particularly to families with teenagers who get bored easily - there is much to do.
Well located site for Newquay. Morrisons 5 minutes away.
We wouldn't want to stay here in peak season, it would feel like you were on someone else's pitch as with every pitch taken you'd be crammed in.
We have to give a special mention to the farm shop next door to the site: amazing local produce and our family were very pleased with their gifts from this shop.

This is a site for families with kids who need constant entertaining.
It has all the facilities to do that for you - swimming pools, arcade, evening entertainment and the like. If that's your type of holiday then Hendra is for you. However if, like us, you prefer the more traditional caravan park then its probably best to give it miss.
We were there at the end of the season but even so there were a lot people staying in the statics.
More Butlins than Caravan Club and not really our cup of tea.

Fantastic site for motorhomes, think it was £22 per night with excellent showers (even if your clothes do get a soaking on the peg) with music pipped through, lots of sockets for hairdryers.
We stayed for 2 nights and ventured into newquay itself. I have to say we only used the on site bar etc on the last night and have to say the staff were not very attentive and it really seamed like working was an effort for them.
There are amusements everywhere to get kids (and adults) to part with their money. The food was not great, when I asked where the toilets were in the food area a huffy member of staff pointed but carried on talking to her colleague!
Ignoring the money sucking clubhouse the site is great with a bus service just outside the main entrance that takes you into town for about £3 return.
Big spacious pitches.

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at this site myself, my husband and our two daughters aged 14 and 11.
What can I say - this site is fantastic for a family with teenagers who get bored easily and then mam's and dad's don't get any peace!
On arrival you cannot access your pitch until 12 whatever time you arrive and they have a holding field until this time - you are able to book in and you are given a map of the site and your pitch number which gives you a chance to walk around the site and check out your pitch etc - at 12 your are all let onto the site and they do this with great ease and well managed.
The pitches are very spacious and give plenty of privacy, the toilets and showers were kept immaculate and the staff who cleaned them worked hard all through the day into early evening - but be warned the showers are quite powerful and they are set quite high so do not put your clothes on the hooks provided as they with get soaked - put them over the door until you have finished!
The pools both indoor and outdoor are amazing and a massive hit with our daughters and with us - even if you don't want to go in there are loungers around both pools for you to take a book and chill out.
We did use the club on a few occasions and the entertainment was a bit hit and miss and sometimes after 9pm a bit close to the mark for our liking as this is a family site we did not expect that - it also gets very busy and unless you get there early (7pm) then you will have to wait for a seat - but we did go in the summer hols so I suppose that's to be expected.
The security on this site I think needs a bit of work though as it does seem to me that when you go into the club at night they do not look at your passes and anyone could get into the club!
There is small park on this site for the younger children, plenty of arcades which my children informed us was 'awesome' but the staff in there were not as friendly as everywhere else on the site.
There is an on site shop which sells everything and yet again the staff are very friendly - it was a bit pricey but perfect if you need that extra bottle of 'scrumpy jack'!
The site has everything and if you didn't want to you wouldn't have to leave it for your whole holiday.
There is a pub just down the road which we did eat in on our first evening and my daughter was sick the following evening and through that day so I would not recommend that!
Morrisons is also only a short drive away in the same direction but there is also a Tesco and Asda in Newquay.
I would recommend Crantock beach just idyllic and also Lusty Glaze and Perranporth for your body boarding - also go down to Newquay harbour and see the seals that come in with the fishermen after the fish lovely.
All in all this site was fantastic and we are planning on returning next August as we don't think we would be able to find a site that could beat this.

We have just returned from a 5 night break in our tent having stayed in one of their static caravans a few years ago.
It is a very big site and was very busy but that is to be expected at this time of the year. Stayed on Orchard field which was a fair walk to shops etc but then very quiet at night.
Toilets and showers where very clean and seemed to be constantly attended.
We used the pool complex which was great. The shop is well stocked and reasonably priced but local supermarkets are worth a visit.
Did use pizzeria which was OK but didn't bother with the club or tavern as we prefer to go off site to eat.
Overall a great campsite for those with children.

We went here for 10 nights in the last week in July and first week in August. We arrived a little early and had to wait a short time while we booked in and were allowed to pitch before 12 just after the grass had been cut.
We were in Maple 218-220 (3 families in our group) and were impressed with the pitch sizes - plenty of room even for a large tent. Be advised that a few pegs were bent when hitting rock so take good pegs.
The showers and toilet facilities were clean and cleaned on a regular basis however a bank of the taps in the mens wash basins released straight away so you had to press them constantly to fill the basin. The pot wash is covered over (as is the Elsan disposal) but the taps don't seem to have good pressure for pot washing.
The outdoor pool was a little cold but it's outdoors and the surrounding area was a real sun trap when it came out. There is a shallow pool for non-swimmers and lifeguards are in attendance.
The indoor pool is heated and there are 3 slides in it and a shallow pool for non-swimmers also there is a rapid style pool for swimmers only. Lifeguards are in here too. This is a paying pool so in busy times you are restricted to your allotted time however in less busy periods they let you stay in apparently. I went on two of the slides (green and blue) and thought they were good.
There is a costcutter on site that sells more than the basics, a laundry that dispenses its own wash powder but can be switched off if you asked in case of allergies. I would say that when we did a spot of washing we had to call maintenance to fix the machine but they arrived quickly and solved the problem so keep an eye on your machine - if its taking too long then it probably needs some attention.
The clubhouse had good entertainment on and a fair selection of drinks available although a little pricey.
The kids found hours of entertainment in the amusements which was surprising as there didn't seem that much to go on.
There is a train that goes round the site from 10am (until the queue has gone I guess) which again was enjoyed by the kids. The games field is a fair old trek away and we never got chance to walk round the site - it is big.
The security on site are quick to sort any problems and they regularly patrol the facilities and the site.
There is a pub, Morrisions and McDonalds 5 minutes by car from the site and Newquay itself was about 10-15 minutes away depending which way you go. I would add that you have to be away for 10am which I always think is a bit harsh for campers.
This was an ideal base to explore Cornwall for us and we were that impressed we booked for next year. Definitely recommended.

We stopped here with the family for 4 nights (the family stayed the full week) I've been to the site a few times, previous times previously stopped in the Pine field but this time we were in Oak,
The site is great for families, toilet blocks are cleaned constantly and are award winning apparently, the clubhouse puts on some good entertainment.
I think it would be more useful if the games field was more centrally located as we had children running, riding and playing ball games in between tents and parked cars and playing on the roads
But all in all a top site, the games field doubles as a holding field on saturday mornings for the over night travellers and to manage the mass of new arrivals, which they do fluidly.
Just on the outskirts of Newquay its a good site has a bus stop outside on the road and local taxi's are happy to pick up and drop off in the site.

Just come back from a weeks stay at Hendra, the wife and I stayed on an electric hook up pitch which was in the maple field. We was situated about 10 yards from the toilet blocks which were a really high standard only gripe the shower roses need adjusting as some hit the doors.
We did use the restaurant for breakfast as it was quite reasonable but not the clubhouse. We went for a meal at the kings head pub up the road can thoroughly recommend.
On the whole we really enjoyed the site the pitches are ample and found the price reasonable, But beware the site can be a little noisy especially the dawn chorus.

I have been going to hendra holiday camp for the past five years. We always go in October, and the weather is always fantastic, we must be lucky!
I cant recommend this site highly enough. The swimming pool and the flumes are amazing, Myself and my family spend hours in there. The site is very clean and tidy, and well situated for newquay, and Cornwall. On the whole, Cornwall has so much to offer, and Hendra have capitalised on this with a wonderful site to stay at.
I cant comment on the clubhouse as we have never been in there. The play areas for the kids are good, and during October, the site isnt very busy. Just how we like it.
We will be heading to Hendra holiday park this coming October. Its an 8 hour drive and over 400 miles, but well worth it.

This is a very large site and isn't normally the sort of place I would visit, however, to my surprise, my partner and I really enjoyed our stay.
We were only here for an overnight stop, but have to say given the size of the site and the amount of people that were staying here the site was absolutely immaculate. There were lots of staff cleaning and looking after the very well tendered grounds. The camping fields have an abundance of clean & modern toilet/shower facilities which is always a bonus in my eyes. The pitches were level, the grass was short and there were plenty of space between pitches.
The site has a super swimming pool, both outdoor and indoor - you do have to pay extra but well worth it. There is a good bowling alley that's fun in an evening. There are plenty of places to eat on site and the prices are fairly reasonable, there is evening entertainment available which we didn't see but looked good from the advertising posters.
Newquay is a short drive away but there are regular buses right outside the entrance. In brief, large site that is very well maintained, helpful staff and plenty of things for adults and children to do ( the particular highlight for us was air hockey - not played this for years!)

We have stayed at Hendra on numerous occasions and simply cannot fault it.
The grounds are immaculate and well maintained.
The toilet and shower block is warm, and spotless, regardless of how many visitors they have staying.
We have stayed both in a static van and our campervan and have always had the best service.
The girls on reception are polite, well informed and always happy to help.
I would most definitely recommend it to anyone.
The facilities for children are very good and first class entertainment all the way.
Keep up the high standards.

What a lovely place to stay! Just returned from a fantastic four day break at Hendra in one of their new caravans, as we decided it was a bit too chilly to get the camping gear out! Super, smashing, great! Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are really friendly and helpful. The whole place is spotless and its within easy reach of just about everything. We found Morrisons just up the road and the local farm shop too, and Macdonalds. Loved the indoor pool, loved the club. Cant wait to go back later in the year camping - pitches look great!
