1/8

We are a small quirky campsite, just for adults, situate in the beautiful Pentewan Valley, close to Mevagissey. The site is in a sheltered sunny spot and picturesque area close to the beach. We are also ideally located for the Lost Gardens of Heligan which is within walking distance of the site. A short drive away is the Eden Project, and lots of other fabulous gardens. For walkers and cyclists, our site joins the Pentewan Valley Trail, and so you have fabulous walks and cycle tracks in all directions, including woodland, stream trails, and access to the beach & SW Coast Path. John's hearty breakfast baguettes are available, and can be delivered to your pitch.

Route directions

The Meadows touring caravan and camping park is very easy to find. For sat nav users the postcode is PL26 6DL. You will find us located approximately 3 miles south of St Austell on the B3273 in the Pentewan Valley. From the main A30 road in to Cornwall and shortly after bypassing Bodmin take the A391 turning to St Austell. From St Austell follow the signs for Mevagissey. Travel approximately 3 miles and we are on the right hand side. Look out for the sign with the car and caravan on the top. The caravan site itself has good access direct from the road for caravans and motor homes.
