Lots of space

  • Friendly and family-run rural site 10 minutes' drive from Helston
  • A natural wildlife habitat with plenty of space to play
  • Pub within walking distance; two miles from Praa Sands beach
Ah, that old Cornish dilemma: coast or country? If you conclude that a bit of both would be quite tremendous, take a look at Tremorvu Campsite and Glamping, a friendly, family-run place that’s got both distant sea views and eight acres of rural space to play with. The peaceful fields here are bordered by hedges that encourage the local wildlife to hang around; pop your head over the top and you’ll be looking north towards Tregonning Hill or south to see the sea at Praa Sands (two miles away). Grab a glass, put your feet up and face west at a suitable hour and you may well be in for a spectacular sunset to finish the day. Within those hedges are plenty of space to strike up a barbie or campfire while the nippers run about. In peak season, a small shop opens up to sell local eggs, milk, bread, bacon and other essentials, plus the occasional homemade cake. Other supplies can be picked up at the supermarkets in Helston (10 minutes’ drive), and there’s an excellent pub 15 minutes’ walk away if you’d like a little stroll before your drinks and dins. Working up an appetite for meals shouldn’t be too hard… there are walks, bike rides, surfing, watersports and beach days all within a few miles, and you’re also in a strategic position for days out at St Michael's Mount, St Ives and heaps more Cornish faves.

Shepherd's hut

Liked This is a great campsite. Location is perfect and the sectioned off areas are really well designed, making it feel like you have your own private area. The facilities are excellent with the added bonus of having a small shop to get your basics and a breakfast and coffee hut which then doubles as a pizza kitchen in the evening. We've stayed here 4 times now and will definitely be back next year.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Well maintained campsite, clean toilets and showers, close proximity to fabulous beaches. There is an accesible shower room / family wet room where I could easily clean my youngest child, very handy. Our children had a pizza too. Free reliable Wi-Fi was very helpful, as the area has poor mobile signal. No midges nor flies during our stay!
On a clear night we could observe the whole of the Milky Way just across the grass pitch (mid-August). We'll definetely return in the future.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: thank you for your booking and review, we hope you'll visit us again next year!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Fantastic location as a base. Lots of pitches well laid out, we had a fab area protected by trees for privacy. Was lucky to be there during the meteor shower, the night sky looked phenomenal from our pitch.

Facilities as good as you can want at a campsite. Even has a little area with hairdryers, nice touch.

Coffee and pastries in the morning, served up by one of the very friendly owners. They also have pizza, we missed it but I did see the wood fired oven so no doubt they are good.

Would defo stay again.

WiFi was super fast, a nice bonus.

Local attractions

Stretch those legs out and get your boots on – there are heaps of fab walks nearby. Traipse up Tregonning Hill (half an hour or so) for tiptop scenic views and then carry on to the National Trust’s Godolphin Estate (an hour’s hike) for gorgeous garden walks. (Top tip: the grounds are particularly ravishing when all the bluebells burst to life in May.) You can stroll by the sea too should you wish, using the scent of salt air to point you to the South West Coast Path, a mere couple of miles away. You’re never far from a stunning beach in Cornwall, either: the top choices round here are Praa Sands (10 minutes’ drive) for sandcastles, swimming and surfing, and the little secluded cove at Rinsey, just a little further east. For kayaking and paddleboarding, plot a course to Porthleven harbour (15 minutes). Pack yourselves into the car and you’re within easy reach of all sorts of day trips: St Michael's Mount (15 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes) and the galleries of St Ives (half an hour); you might also consider going all the way to the edge at Land’s End (40 minutes).
