Why Choose a Privately Owned Holiday Park Over a Large Corporate Resort?
What's the difference?
When it comes to buying a holiday home in Cornwall, the location is only part of the story. Equally important is the holiday park you choose to call your home from home.
While large corporate holiday parks have their place, more and more people are discovering the benefits of choosing a privately owned park instead. If you're looking for peace, quality, and a genuine sense of belonging, here's why a privately owned holiday park could be the perfect choice.
A More Relaxed Way to Holiday
One of the biggest differences you'll notice is the atmosphere.
Privately owned holiday parks are typically designed for those who want to escape everyday life, not recreate the hustle and bustle of it. Instead of crowded facilities and busy entertainment venues, you'll often find open green spaces, peaceful surroundings, and somewhere you can truly switch off.
At Silverbow Country Park, our focus is simple: creating a tranquil environment where you can relax, unwind and enjoy Cornwall at your own pace.
No Crowds, No Queues, No Noise
Large holiday parks can be incredibly busy, particularly during school holidays. Packed swimming pools, long queues, busy restaurants and constant entertainment aren't for everyone.
If your ideal break involves listening to birdsong rather than loudspeakers, watching wildlife instead of stage shows, and enjoying your morning coffee in peaceful surroundings, a privately owned park offers a completely different experience.
A Personal Service
One of the greatest advantages of a family-owned holiday park is the level of personal service.
You're not simply another booking number or plot on a spreadsheet. Our team gets to know our owners personally and genuinely cares about making your experience the very best it can be.
Whether you need advice, have a question, or simply want a friendly chat, we're always here to help.
Beautiful Natural Surroundings
Many privately owned parks place a greater emphasis on preserving their natural environment.
At Silverbow Country Park, you'll find 43 acres of beautiful Cornish countryside, peaceful walking trails, four wildlife ponds, a dedicated conservation area, and an abundance of local wildlife including deer, foxes, rabbits and countless bird species.
It's a place where nature is part of everyday life.
A Strong Community Feel
Because privately owned parks are generally smaller, owners naturally get to know one another.
There's a genuine community spirit where neighbours become friends, yet everyone still enjoys the privacy and space they're looking for.
Many of our owners tell us this welcoming atmosphere is one of the reasons they chose Silverbow.
More Than Just Facilities
Large holiday parks often compete by offering bigger entertainment complexes, arcades and clubs.
A privately owned park offers something different: a lifestyle.
Instead of spending your evenings in a crowded clubhouse, you can explore Cornwall's stunning coastline, enjoy local pubs and restaurants, discover hidden beaches, or simply relax on your own decking overlooking nature.
For many holiday home owners, that's exactly what owning in Cornwall should be about.
A Place You'll Look Forward to Returning To
Buying a holiday home is about creating memories for years to come.
Choosing the right park means choosing somewhere you'll genuinely enjoy returning to, whether it's for long weekends, family holidays or simply escaping the everyday.
If you're looking for tranquillity, beautiful surroundings, personal service and a true home-from-home, a privately owned holiday park offers an experience that's difficult to match.
