Pitches on site (added by manager 08 Sep 2022)

Family-run site in the Cornish countryside, five minutes from Camborne
10 minutes' drive from the beach at Hayle; 20 from St Michael's Mount
Communal barbecue area and a playground on site

Bag a berth at Bluebell Campsite, a secluded site in the Cornwall countryside with excellent facilities, and explore the very best bits of Cornwall. The site has a communal barbecue area for summer evening cookouts. A playground is on site to entertain kids (aged 13 and under) while they wait for their eats. The surrounds are decidedly relaxed and rural here, but a handy location three miles from the A30 (Cornwall’s main artery) means easy access to all sorts of days out. Beaches, an animal park, St Michael’s Mount and the galleries of St Ives are all within a leisurely half-hour drive of the site. Even closer to base are the town of Camborne (five minutes’ drive) and the little village of Praze-an-Beeble – it’s 20 minutes or so's stroll down here for a pub, shop and chippy. Got a hound in need of hols? Well-behaved dogs are welcome at the site, but they must be kept on a lead at all times.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The owners were absolutely lovely. Very welcoming. Site was very peaceful and well-maintained. Small play area which our daughter loved. Clean toilet and shower facilities.

Disliked: No dislikes. Would have been lovely if there had been a small shop on-site but so close to loads of shops and takeaways/eating places in Camborne that this is not really a problem.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review. It was lovely to have you stay here at Bluebell and glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Jeanette & Steve

Electric gravel and hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Steve and Jeanette were fantastic hosts. Showed us everything we needed to know. We had their contact details in case we needed anything. The showers and toilets were exceptionally clean. They were checked them regularly. My daughter and her friend loved the playground. There is a cafe on site but on the week we were there, it was only open Friday to Sunday. We only had a coffee from there but it was very good. Quite central to all the beaches. The closest beach was probably about a 15 minute drive. We liked it so much, we’ve already booked for next August.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but the phone signal wasn’t great on our pitch but you could get a better signal up by the playground.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The owners of the campsite were lovely, they were so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us and feel more welcome during our stay. They recommended some lovely places to visit and even drew us a map/ wrote us directions! They took such pride in the site and the grounds were all lovely and so well maintained! Facilities are good and there are small touches such as a freezer which we were able to use for ice lollies on a hot day! We stayed on the site with family (with young children) and there was a lovely park for them to play on. The site was in a great location (good distance to local shops, pubs etc and local to lovely landmarks in Cornwall). The site was secure, quiet and just perfect for our stay! Will definitely be visiting again.

Electric grass tent pitch

Local attractions

Cornwall, as you may have heard, has a rather fine collection of beaches… the nearest to Bluebell Campsite being the lengthy stretch of sand around Hayle (10 minutes’ drive) and the three-mile expanse of sand and shingle at Porthleven beach (15 minutes). Pick your times carefully if you’re off to St Michael’s Mount (20 minutes) – walks can only be had at low tide and boat rides only at high tide. Seals are fond of this area too, and you can set off to see them on boat trips from St Ives (25 minutes) or be guaranteed viewings at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes). Follow that up with penguin feeding, eagle shows and other animal encounters at Paradise Park animal park and play centre (10 minutes). Folk who like to delve into local history (or see some of the locations from the popular telly series) should head below ground at Poldark Mine & The Cornish Heritage Collection (15 minutes). A village and shops from ye olden dayes have been reconstructed at Flambards Theme Park (15 minutes) to provide a bit of a calming interlude between thrill rides.
