Welcome

Hendra Holiday Park is a 5* family owned site nestled in the Cornish countryside, just outside of Newquay. Our long-standing site has been family owned since 1972, and remains the same today. We are within easy access of Newquay’s golden sandy beaches and amazing local attractions.

There’s plenty to do for all ages right here on Park. Enjoy a range of daily activities and spectacular entertainment every evening. Explore our amusements, play parks and indoor soft play. Splash around in our Oasis Fun Pools, with 3 flumes, river rapids, toddler pool and giant waterfalls! Or lounge around our outdoor pool (open end of May to end of August).

We can't wait to welcome you!
