Holidays in Looe, Caravan Sites, Lodge & Touring Parks

Looe is a traditional fishing town on the south coast of Cornwall, famed for its long history as a port for its fishing fleet, Looe is now a thriving tourist destination. There are numerous holiday parks in Looe and the surrounding area offering a variety of accommodation options from caravan parks and touring parks in Cornwall around Looe, to traditional Cornwall countryside campsites and modern lodge parks.

Looe is popular as it is really pretty, set in a steep sided valley through which the River Looe flows and the town borders both sides of the river. There is a gently sloping sandy beach at East Looe which gets busy during the summer months and is popular with families that have young children as it is pretty safe.

There are more attractions, watching the fishing boats come in and delivering their daily catch, a spot of rock pool exploring or crabbing in the harbour. The tradition of fishing and regular catches also means that Looe has a thriving food scene with a number of great restaurants and pubs that serve fresh fish daily.  It also acts as a hub for those that want to go out to sea, a spot of sea fishing and the recently more popular tourist boats that take you along the coast to see the marine life and birds.

There is a lot to see and do with Looe as a base. The Eden Project is easily accessible and Talland Bay is a popular beach with tourists. Lanhydrock House is popular if you enjoy visiting National Trust properties as is Mount Edgcumbe House. You can also reach Looe by train, making it a great holiday destination if you don’t drive.
