  • Quiet, rural, sheltered and well-maintained site on a working farm
  • Within four miles of Hayle and Marazion on the north and south coasts
  • Barbecues allowed: buy locally-sourced meat and veg within two miles
It's a truth splendidly acknowledged that any Cornwall site will be fably placed. A berth anywhere in this cracking county will have happy adventurers within easy reach of beaches, craggy coastline, watersports, the South West Coast Path, splendid old sights including tin mines and old lighthouses… and world-famed hits like the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan: you'll never have to drive over an hour and a half for the whole heap. And how nifty then is a site on the western side of Cornwall, to be handily set for both north and south beaches? Step forward, terrific Trevessa Farm, between the north coast at Hayle and the south coast at Marazion: both must-sees and both within a paltry four miles. You're so stunningly set here that you'll need to stick around for at least a few weeks (show the boss the site pics to plead your case): Trevessa is in a peaceful, scenic, rural and sheltered spot with an excellently-maintained pitching field centred around a working farm (do neigh/moo hi to the horses and cattle while here). There's easy access to the South West Coast Path from here, along with top Cornwall spots like St Ives and Sennen Cove. The site covers three-quarters of an acre, edged by a pretty footpath meandering down to the River Hayle below. It's a couple of miles from here to the nearest village, St Erth, where there's a village shop and post office, a pub and a lively Saturday morning market selling locally-grown veg, free-range eggs, homemade pies, bread, fresh fish and locally produced organic beef, pork, sausages and bacon… it's just as well that barbecues are allowed back at your smashingly scenic Cornish farm base.

What customers say

This peaceful campsite offers beautiful countryside views and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors praise the clean and well-maintained facilities, particularly the hot showers. The location is considered excellent for exploring Cornwall, with easy access to local towns and beaches. While the site is generally well-regarded for its simplicity and value, some mention that pitches can be slightly sloped and facilities, though clean, could benefit from some updates. Adjustments to shower temperature are possible.

 Rebecca W. 1 review

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The setting was generally nice with good views.

Disliked The toilets weren't particularly clean - the sink wasn't cleaned in the 3 days we were there. We weren't checked in by anyone and didn't see the owners at all. Pitches weren't allocated and we think this caused a problem with others who returned to use the pitch we had set up in.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely peaceful camping field on a farm next to a cow field. I drove in and started to pitch up on a free spot and the owner Andrew found me and was very welcoming. Toilets and showers were clean and hot, not posh, but clean and functional. Tent pitch was on a slight slope. As a solo female I felt very safe and at ease.

It's in a really gorgeous part of the countryside and between Hayle and Marazion. Short drive to St Erth for the village shop and pub, and the train to St Ives or Penzance. Perfect spot really. Rather envious I can't live there myself.
I would happily return and recommend.

Disliked Nothing.

 Paul S. 1 review

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Great spacious pitches with the most beautiful views. Very peaceful. Facilities were great. Running hot showers and just a short stroll away from your pitch. A great middle base to go exploring Cornwall. Close to St Erth train station for a lovely train ride into St Ives. Would definitely recommend this site. Owner was friendly. Came over to say hello then left us to enjoy our break!

Local attractions

Well now, where does one start? At Hayle first perhaps, to access the South West Coast Path to Portreath (11.9 miles) or the other way to St Ives – six miles, followed by a bite or two in a seafood restaurant. More first-rate scrambles are around nearby West Penwith or Land's End peninsula, home to arty St Ives as well as beaches and coves so spectacularly scenic they'd nearly make you weep (as you well might, once the boss summons you back home). This is one of the most lushly scenic parts of Cornwall – yes, that's saying something – have picworthy times at world-famed Sennen Cove as well as at Lamorna Cove and Porthcurno, all within 35 minutes' drive. Weeks' worth of other options are around for day trips, like Paradise Park at Hayle (10 minutes), boat trips on the Fal from Falmouth (45 minutes) and hunting for antiques inland at Truro (50 minutes). The Eden Project is an hour and 15 minutes away.
