  • Quiet, spacious site just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour
  • Walk to the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way
  • Dog-friendly and family-friendly; supermarket two minutes’ walk away
Time for a peaceful stay in Padstow? With views of the estuary and the countryside, Padstow Campsite is just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour and the ferry to Rock. Good news for the keen walkers among you, there are plenty of trails within walking distance too, including the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way. The spacious grass pitches at this family-run, pop-up site are based on Trevethan Farm in a prominent position in Padstow. The pitches have access to showers and toilets, and they’re also dog-friendly and family-friendly. For those hoping to leave their car in one spot, the farm is within walking distance of local bus routes to destinations like Wadebridge, Newquay and Bodmin. There’s also Padstow right at your fingertips, of course, where it’s possible to get stuck into sailing, watersports, sea safaris, speedboat trips, fishing and cycling on the Camel Trail. If you’re craving a beach day, the site is a short drive from a handful of local beaches, including Trevone Bay five minutes’ drive away and Harlyn Bay beach 10 minutes’ drive away. If you’re ever in need of sunset snacks, breakfast cereals or other essentials, a large supermarket is a couple of minutes' walk away from Padstow Campsite.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We spent six nights at this very quiet campsite. The manager Jessica is a star and very hard working. The toilet and shower blocks have got to be the cleanest out of all the campsites that I have visited. Its not just twice a day cleaning as many campsites do, Jessica and her crew are almost in there sweeping, mopping and scrubbing as soon as they spot you leaving the block. The pitches are unmarked and you can pick your spot as long as your 6 metres away from anyone you don't know. Up on leaving I was worried that it would start raining before I could get my tent packed away and she even offered to help. The site is walking distance into town it takes around 10 minutes to walk. You haven't even got to drive to a supermarket as there is one right next to the site. I would highly recommend staying here, next time we're in Padstow we know where we're staying 😉

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Fabulous views, immaculate toilets and showers. Great site, very warm welcome from a lovely girl. She was informative, helpful and charming. Site is a very large field beyond a car park. Tescos really close, open until 9. Ten minute or so walk to town for great food, beaches and pubs.

Disliked: Long grass gave us wet shoes because of awful weather.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The campsite is wonderfully positioned at the top of Padstow with far reaching views over the Camel Estuary. It is also a mere 12 minutes lazy stroll into the centre of Padstow harbour. The loo and shower blocks are incredibly clean and the campsite equally well maintained. Further more I can not praise Jess enough for her warm welcome upon our arrival and being available at any time during our week long stay. We had intended to only stay for 2 night but extended it as we were so happy, using it as a base to go out for day trips over most of Cornwall as it is so accessible. I can not recommend it highly enough and shall most certainly return next year.
