Secluded four-acre site in a quiet valley by the hamlet of Comford
Central spot between Truro and St Ives; 15 minutes from each
Laidback dog-friendly site; village pub within walking distance

To Cornwall’s north coast for the day, or the south coast? Both are equally easy from Penndra Campsite, in a rural spot 10 minutes’ drive from Redruth – it’s roughly halfway between the two coastlines, so you can drive to either in a matter of 15-20 minutes or so. In fact, this secluded four-acre site just outside the hamlet of Comford is in a most handy position for getting out to all sorts of Cornwall attractions including Trebah Gardens, Land’s End, the Eden Project, Newquay Zoo and the Minack Theatre. Wherever you roam by day, later on you can come back to this small family-run site to relax and recharge your batteries ready to head out again the following morning. Dogs, kids and groups are all welcome here, as are barbecues and campfires (in the designated areas only, please). Facilities include a washing-up area, unisex portable toilets, a designated ladies’ toilet and a unisex hot-water shower. If you’re planning a barbecue, pick up bits from the village shops in Lanner or Ponsanooth (five minutes’ drive) or supermarkets in Redruth. Alternatively, head into Comford for a meal and a couple of Cornish ales at the local pub, which welcomes dogs and has a Roskillys ice cream parlour for a sweet treat too.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Owner was super friendly and welcoming to us all, including the dog. We were met on arrival and given useful welcoming information. It was a nice relaxed site with clean toilet and shower cubicles. Our dog particularly liked the dog walking field to let her run off lead. Pitches are good sizes, and campsite is relatively small which suits us as a family with young children. Happy to accept small BBQ’s /fire pits and sell logs and coal so you don’t need to pack your own. Facilities for recycling.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike, we’ll happily consider coming back.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. The facilities were excellent. Richard, the owner, is obviously very proud of his site and rightfully so. Showers and toilets were spotless and the showers were lovely and hot. Some nice extra touches, for example the dedicated lady's toilet, fridge and freezer and the "swap shop"

Disliked: The weather!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The whole campsite was excellent. Nice quiet location, very good pitches, very good facilities, ( 4 toilets with sinks, washing up facilities and 3 showers ) Shed with a fridge and freezer and power points. And a reception shed with honesty shop. Richard chatty, friendly and kept site clean and well maintained. Was lovely being woken by the sounds of the wildlife. Highly recommended and will be staying there again when visiting Cornwall. Wi-Fi available but I have no issues if there wasn’t any.

Local attractions

So, to those coastlines… Cornwall’s north and south coasts are both full of gorgeous places to visit, so it’s worth making time for both. On the northern side, start with the beaches at Porthtowan (15 minutes) or Portreath (20 minutes), then head to the stunning sands of Gwithian (25 minutes). The excellent town of St Ives (half an hour) should be on the schedule too, for its mix of coast views and top-notch art galleries. Heading south instead, stop off at Pendennis Castle (20 minutes) and Trebah Garden (20 minutes) en route to the sands at Maenporth beach (15 minutes). Venture a little further and you’ll hit the spectacular Lizard Peninsula with a drive of about 40 minutes or so. For more of Cornwall’s top days out, look at Newquay Zoo (25 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes), Eden Project (45 minutes) and Land’s End (50 minutes).
