  • Rural site in a quiet grassland setting, a 10-minute drive to Padstow
  • Under 10 minutes' drive from the beaches of Harlyn and Trevone
  • On-site bar, live music at the weekend and street food in high season
Craving a quiet Cornish countryside retreat? Sort a trip to Tregella Place Camping and peacefulness plus lovely farmland views will be yours for the taking. This park is a rural spot but it’s also close enough to the necessities you need for a satisfying stay: a chicken farm is a short stroll away to pick up fresh eggs, and a supermarket and a pub serving food are less than five minutes’ drive away. For foodies, this area is a top choice as Padstow (10 minutes’ drive) is a gastronomic hotspot with eateries helmed by chef Rick Stein, along with other highly rated restaurants, coffee shops and bars. If you really want to earn your dinner, get yourselves there on foot: the walk takes you through the cornfields and starts at the top of the lane. But there’s no real need to leave the site if you’re after evening entertainment; there’s a bar (in a converted bus, no less) serving Cornish beers and ciders, plus a packed schedule of live music at the weekend. In high summer, feed the family from the pop-up street kitchen and eat together at the communal picnic area. Thoroughly pristine facilities include a bricks-and-mortar shower block with family-size showers complete with changing areas, electric points for charging devices and hairdryers, and a washing-up area. You can wander directly on to the South West Coast Path from the park, and for adventures on two wheels, the Camel Trail cycle path is nearby as well.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Really lovely friendly welcome, very clean shower and toilet block. Nice and close to Padstow & supermarket. Good menu & bar area.

Disliked: Most pitches pretty sloped and grass too long which meant with the rain everything got soaked. Didn't particularly like what appeared to be "permanent" residents pitched up around the site with what looked like a scrap yard around them. Nice bar area, but people smoking it it was unpleasant - also got pretty noisy later into the evening with drunk people probably not realising how loud they were being! Didn't stay for our second night.

From the manager: Hello we are glad you enjoyed the new toilet and shower block. Unfortunately you were subject to a complaint after idling your engine to charge devices during night and we had to ask you to turn your engine off at 11pm. I understand that this may have caused frustration for you but we have to ensure that the camp is both quiet and safe at night.

New and very clean toilets/showers. Very friendly staff, good food and well…

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: New and very clean toilets/showers. Very friendly staff, good food and well priced. The grass was being cut as we got there, so perfect for camping. Can’t complain at all, will return with my family next time.

Disliked: Neighbours playing loud music after 10pm, should enforce no music after 10pm.

From the manager: Hello I am very sorry. There was a problem with the grass when you arrived. As you were told upon arrival that the person who was cutting the grass was unexpectedly hospitalised and someone was cutting it that evening, you did say that you found this acceptable and went to go pitch. Had this have been brought up at the time, I could have issued you a refund as we work really hard to ensure everybody has an enjoyable stay. Obviously this situation was completely out of our control but we regret that we did not meet the standard we wish to.

Rural site, clean facilities, friendly and welcoming,

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: What a beautiful peaceful rural campsite. Lovely showers and toilet facilities which were clean and smelled nice. Bus Bar and food stand looked amazing., unfortunately we didn’t use but will do next visit tho. Only 10 minute drive from Padstow and 10 to 15 minutes drive to the 7 beautiful beaches, perfect. Lucy and her family are friendly and welcoming. Will be recommending to family and friends and definitely become back for another stay.

Disliked: Nothing to disliked as it was the perfect campsite for us.

From the manager: Thanks so much for your lovely review and we look forward to welcoming you back.

Relaxed and fun site with great views.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: It was a large field where you could pitch where you like. Great views, rural, yet close enough to everything. Lovely shower blocks and toilets. The hosts were fantastic and the bus bar, drinking area and food van were a great asset. I would highly recommend.

Disliked: Not a huge problem but the grass was a bit long.

From the manager: I’m not 100% sure you were in the right campsite. We have just put in a brand new toilet and shower block at huge costs. We have a bar and restaurant area too and it is £20. There is a site called Tregella campsite up the lane, which is a portaloo in a field, I can only assume that you were in there.

Local attractions

There are many pursuits to ponder in the Padstow area, so fingers crossed you have plenty of time on your hands during a trip here. The beaches should be your first place to explore – after getting a glimpse at the closest sandy spots, like Harlyn and Trevone (under 10 minutes’ drive), set off for the scenic Bedruthan Steps (15 minutes). Here for the waves? Hire boards in Padstow (10 minutes) and head for Harlyn (10 minutes) or drive to Newquay (half an hour) and check out the UK’s biggest surf scene. This town also has masses to keep kids occupied, including beaches, a zoo and aquarium. If you need more nipper-friendly places to visit, Camel Creek Adventure Park (10 minutes) is close by and has theme park rides to keep pint-sized thrill-seekers engaged. When travelling child-free, put Prideaux Place (five minutes) on the itinerary – this Elizabethan manor is easy on the eye and also has stunning views out across Padstow’s historic harbour. After having a good nose around the house and grounds, keep the grown-up shenanigans going with a visit to the Trevibban Mill Vineyard (10 minutes), which organises tours and tastings.
