  • Peaceful Cornwall site with direct access to the South West Coast Path
  • Perranporth, Porthtowan Beach and Truro within 20 minutes' drive
  • Trevellas Cove and St Agnes village within walking distance
You can’t get much closer to Cornwall’s craggy north coast than at Blue Hills Touring Park: this friendly family-oriented site has direct access to the South West Coast Path and is just a few minutes’ walk from dog-friendly Trevellas Cove. Cornwall’s coast is obviously one of its great draws, but the region’s countryside is just as fine – and you’ll be able to admire some of that glorious scenery from the site too. The park sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with rural views from the pitches and plenty of footpaths nearby for walks (with a well-behaved dog at your heels if you wish). All of this adds up to a rather fabulous setting – but it doesn’t end there, since there’s also the fact that St Agnes village centre is a handy half-hour or so walk away for pubs, takeaways and shops where you can pick up supplies for a barbecue back at base. If it’s not barbecue weather, don’t panic – the site also has a well-equipped kitchen for guests to use. Other facilities on site include a laundry room, a covered washing-up area, chemical disposal and a smart modern bathroom block with accessible facilities. A play field gives space for kids to let off steam, and there’s also a wetsuit dip-and-hang area for those using the place as a base for surfing adventures.

Spitfire primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, no cars)

Liked: Shaun was really nice, I did enjoy the chats with him. Everything was spot clean and well attended. The grass had been cut very recently and we were able to move our tent off the slope as there was not much occupation on Spitfire Field. This was due to the beginning of the season. I liked the idea of naming the fields in aircraft terminology because nearby airfield (don't worry it neither loud nor disturbing). Great access to the South West Coast Path! As we had our own accommodation and no children I left out those ratings.

Harleys Field FHU grass campsite

Liked: Clean site. Good facilities include hot showers, toilets, free WiFi, utility room with washer, drier, freezer and microwave.

Disliked: Bit too isolated for our own personal preference. Pitches very muddy due to recent weather. Perhaps should make some of them hard standings by putting some gravel down.

Local attractions

If you’ve come to Cornwall for the beaches, you’ve got two good ones within a 15-minute drive. A vast expanse of sand backed by rocky cliffs, Perranporth Beach (five minutes) is home to the Tunes in the Dunes summer music festival. Porthtowan Beach (15 minutes), on the St Agnes Heritage Coast, is also sandy, with a number of rockpools to explore. Both are popular with surfers. For an insight into the history of the region, you can head to the cathedral city of Truro (20 minutes), where the Royal Cornwall Museum displays local artefacts, plus an eclectic collection ranging from minerals to Egyptian sarcophagi. A twice-weekly farmers’ market is the place to stock up on locally grown produce for the barbie back at the site. At the Eden Project (45 minutes), huge biome domes replicate different landscapes, from a Mediterranean garden to a rainforest. And there’s much more here than just recreated natural habitats, with a lively programme of cultural events, including the Eden Sessions music concerts.
