Heading off to Newquay on the weekend for a birthday party. Thinking of staying at Carvynick Touring park. Any feedback or alternative suggestions welcome plus any suggestions for parking in Truro on Sunday if we decide to pop in there for a visit?

I've not stopped at Carvynick since Eric of Itchy Feet RV's owned it, must be 8 years ago. It was a nice park with a Michelin star restaurant on site back then. The Google reviews are pleasant enough. Never parked in Truro so can't help there.

I was also going to mention the park and ride, but sadly it doesn't operate on Sundays.
Malpas has a nice carpark which overlooks the river, nice easy access and not too crammed in, a bit of a walk to the main shops but lovely on a nice dry day.

I also parked in Garras Wharf car park, Truro, last week. Plenty of space, no height restriction, no wardens, take ticket, pay before you leave (I didn't, however, was able to pay at barrier). 6.4m PVC

Opted for Trethiggey Holiday Park in Quintrell Downs. Gently sloping site with immaculately clean toilet block and friendly staff. Have decided to stop off for a couple of hours in Exeter on the way home - any parking suggestions? Happy to do a short bike ride in to town.

When I tried to park in Exeter last year, the park and ride carpark was having construction work done and the dedicated motorhome spaces which were advertised at the campsite had disappeared.

There is a small retail park not far from the town which is usable.
