  • Friendly family-run Cornwall farm site 20 minutes' drive from Newquay
  • Take a bus or a five-minute drive to Padstow and its stunning beach
  • Food served mornings and evenings; secure dog walking field available
You’ll have a tough time choosing between Cornish ice cream and fish and chips when you touch down at Padstow View Campsite in Cornwall. Pitch up at a peaceful farm site with estuary views… and use it as your gateway to sandy beaches, harbour towns and the Cornish countryside. Within a short bus journey or five-minute drive of Padstow (and also within walking distance), this friendly site welcomes families and dogs (with an exclusive-use dog-walking field for the latter). It's also only a 20-minute drive from Newquay. The showers on site will help rinse away any sand picked up visiting the seven bays within 10 minutes’ drive (including Trevone Bay, Constantine Bay, Porthcothan Bay, Treyarnon Bay, Booby’s Bay, Mother Ivy’s Bay and Harlyn Bay); there are toilets and a washing-up area on site for guests' use as well. Phone charging lockers are available for powering your gadgets (with wifi available and a decent 4G signal too), and there are plugs on hand for small appliances like hairdryers. When not at the beach, while away your day hiking or cycling around the country trails and coastal paths. Walk directly to Padstow or catch a regular bus from the site. In Padstow, boats are on hand for angling or beach hopping and Rick Stein’s famous seafood recipes can be sampled at several restaurants. Good day out at sea? Bring your catch back to the site, where barbecues are allowed. There's a shop on site with essentials and delicious food is served every night on site. On the morning menu are fresh coffee, cakes and fresh locally sourced bacon rolls. Handily, there are also several pubs and restaurants (including a dog-friendly pick) within a five-minute drive and a farm shop a couple of minutes' drive away.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Everything! Toilet and shower facilities were good and well kept. On site food truck serves delicious pizzas, wraps, loaded fries and more! There is another that serves tea, coffee etc. Small shop with necessities well stocked, freezers and phone chargers. Ice packs to rent if needed. A lovely welcome on arrival and told everything about the site. Has an enclosed dog walking field adjacent to the campsite which can be hired up to 8.30pm at night which we thought would be so handy for dog owners! 🐶

Disliked Not really a dislike as didn’t really bother us, but the site is on a hill so you are on a slope further down the field but like I said it wasn’t an issue for us at all!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I recently stayed at Padstow View Campsite, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The campsite is beautifully situated with stunning views over the surrounding countryside and down towards the coast. The location is ideal, just a short drive from the charming town of Padstow, which offers plenty of shops, restaurants, and activities.

The facilities at the campsite were excellent. The shower and toilet blocks were spotless and well-maintained, with plenty of hot water and spacious, clean cubicles. There were also convenient washing-up areas and a small shop on-site for any essentials you might need. A little Pizza place on-site also offers food for the evening.

Very welcoming arrival as always! Friendly staff always willing to help.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked For a pop-up site, this place is just astonishing good. The facilities are incredibly clean, the coffee trailer in the morning and the pizza bar in the evening, we'll thought through. The friendliness of the people running it, is there in spades and the relaxed approach is refreshing.

Disliked Very little to dislike. If I had to be very picky, there is some road noise but the positives totally outweigh that!

Found it very difficult to find a student friendly campsite that wasn't party-based. This campsite was perfect for us, and families alike, despite the rain.

Maria T.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We stayed for 6 nights at Padstow View expecting it to just be a place to stay while we were in Cornwall, instead we arrived with the warmest welcome from the camp host/owner who showed us around, it was the cutest boho style camp site I'd seen decorated with fairy lights and an outside washing up area, coffee and breakfast bar and even a pizza van!

Luxury showers had been hired in and thank god for them, I truly avoided camping previously due to unclean showers filled with bugs but these showers were a dream, because of this and the lovely customer service I would 100% go back to this campsite!

Disliked Honestly nothing to dislike at all, we had a really pleasant stay, there is even a bus stop close by so you can get into Padstow easily if you want a break from driving.

There definitely was wifi but it didn't seem to come up for me which wasn't a problem as signal was alright and we were really on our phones much

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked I loved the views they are amazing.
The site was kept very clean.
The owners were very polite and helpful.
The little shop was good.
It was nice you could choose where you wanted to put your tent and have as much space has you wanted.

Disliked There was no where to plug straighteners the 50P electric machine would be better in the bathroom so you can choose to charge phone or use straighteners.
The free WiFi did not work where we pitched .

Local attractions

Don’t forget to pack your walking gear… the 18-mile Camel Trail begins in Padstow or Wadebridge (both within 10 minutes’ drive) and there are trails all over the local heritage coast (several within 15 minutes) or a different type of adventure underground at Carnglaze Caverns (40 minutes). The sea is your playground here, too. Boats wait at Padstow Harbour (five minutes) to whisk you out to sea for angling or wildlife spotting… keep your eyes peeled for seals, dolphins, puffins and basking sharks. A ferry can also take you across the river to Rock (otherwise 25 minutes’ drive) for a laidback afternoon. Kids are likely to enjoy the steam railway ride at Lappa Valley (25 minutes) or the animals and rides at Camel Creek Adventure Park (five minutes). As for adults, they can unwind with a meal or wine tasting at Trevibban Mill Vineyard or take a gin tour at Tarquins distillery (both five minutes away). Upgrade from a bodyboard to a surfboard at one of several surfing spots in the area. For newbies, there’s a surf school at Harlyn Bay (10 minutes) or more daring swells at Newquay (20 minutes) and Fistral Beach (30 minutes).
