  • A 20-minute drive from beaches; walk to shops and restaurants
  • Fully equipped kitchen and hot showers; a 40-minute drive from St Ives
Fancy a break on a spacious, friendly and peaceful site with plenty of mod cons and the chance to get out into bracing Cornish air? That sounds a lot like Wesley House Campsite near Redruth, where you can also (hopefully) experience dramatic sunrises and sunsets – and the Milky Way twinkling in dark skies at night. You have a choice of three meadows set in four acres, so you can just turn up and pitch where you want. There’s plenty of space for any size of tent, so no sardines here, but you may have to share your space with the odd resident rabbit, pheasant or even a passing deer. Hot showers and toilet facilities are centrally located in the middle paddock, together with an undercover washing-up area. There’s a kitchen in the main house with a kettle, fridge and a microwave for communal use. The site is well located for exploring the whole of Cornwall, with myriad places for day trips including Falmouth (25 minutes’ drive), St Michael’s Mount and St Ives (both 40 minutes). There is surfing off Porthtowan (15 minutes), Perranporth (25 minutes) and Three Mile Beach at Gwithian (20 minutes). For hikers, the site is adjacent to the Tresavean Trail (two minutes' walk), linking into the network of trails stretching from coast to coast across Cornwall.

Michael M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Very warm & welcoming couple that go out of their way to help you. All facilities were very clean. Very quiet and peaceful place to camp & explore from.

Disliked: No dislikes. Only small quibble not many flat pitches, but don't let that put you off if you don't mind being on bit of a slope with fantastic views.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Rare to find a site where space is not limited and Sam and Martin could not have been more accommodating, making sure we were well looked after and comfortable with our own bench and fire pit. Beautiful views, peaceful surroundings and easy access to local amenities were a bonus. Will definitely be back!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Everything! Space and quiet is prioritised, they only have 6 pitches available for this reason. Brilliant facilities and both hosts were really friendly and helpful. Good location and price. We’ve stayed at 6 sites this year and this has been the best. We will be back next year.

Rhiannon S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Washing facilities and bathroom were excellent and always very clean. It’s also not often you find a proper shower when camping so that was really nice to find! Stunning views from the campsite. Location was very quite and peaceful but still close to attractions. Owners are super friendly and helpful. Can park right next to tent and choose to pitch wherever you want. Water outlets all really close so don’t have to carry it far.

From the manager: Thank you Rhiannon for such a lovely review. We're super pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again. :)
