  • An adults-only site with scenic views and good transport connections
  • A 20-minute drive to Truro and 15 to Cornwall’s north coast beaches
  • Shop and dog-walking field on site; pub and bakery a 20-minute walk
Peace, quiet and not a child in sight… welcome to adults-only Chacewater Park in Cornwall, set in 11 acres of neatly kept tree- and hedgerow-lined grounds to make up a green and serene site. This is a preferred spot of many a dog owner and nature fan too, with a separate five-acre field that's home to rabbits and wildflowers. For human-centred entertainment, amble over to the local village, a 20-minute walk away, to sip pints in the pub, have a go at bowls or take part in one of the monthly quizzes. Both Truro and National Trust’s Trelissick Gardens are within 20 minutes' drive: time your visit to the latter just right to take in a traditional cream tea too… Back at the park, amenities include two separate shower blocks with shaving points and hairdryers, as well as two laundry areas. Fancy resting with a novel? Swap your last pageturner for your next at the book exchange and settle on the grass for a read. For all-essential eats, a bakery, chippy and convenience shop are close by, and supermarkets are less than 10 minutes' drive away in Redruth for a bigger stock-up.

Upper Meadow Hay electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (large, pet friendly)

Liked Well run site with very friendly staff, we spoke to a couple of gentleman working there almost daily and were knowledgeable and very nice, toilets and showers were always clean and tidy, wash up area could do with a bin though. Nice walks to the local Chimneys and mill. Chippy van visits once a week and the chips were good. Dog field is amazing, best ive seen on any campsite, its huge! It also has a tap and dog bowl and poo bin, our dog's were very happy here and the view and sunset from this field was spectacular. Based on this we would be very happy to visit again.

Disliked Very strange that the owner insisted on waking the campsite up at 7.15am twice during our 4 night stay, he would tip a box of glass bottles into the recycling bin with bottles in it causing a very loud crashing sound, we were annoyed at being denied a lie in while on our holidays, it was just bizarre and unnecessary.

Upper Meadow fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch (large, pet friendly)

Liked The toilets were spotless and well maintained

Disliked We have just come back from a week on this camp site and our overall view of this camp site, when we first come to the campsite we asked which way was best the face and there was no issue facing either way. So we set up with the nicer view of the trees and campsite. So come thursday the warden came to us and said we had to turn the windbreakers to the other side as there was someone coming onto the pitch next to us. So it was false no one actually came onto the pitch next to us and we were basically facing permanent caravans that were run down the place was half empty so we dont understand why we had to turn the windbreakers around. Then being woken up at 7am by the wardens emptying the glass bin during the week but come the weekend he chose to do it later because a couple more caravans had turned up. We feel this campsite was mainly for full time residents and seasonal people.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We are sorry our site was not for you. We endeavour to ensure our customers have a relaxing break and our reviews clearly show this.

On arrival you did ask to face the opposite way to the way we requested. We did tell you at the time that you would have to reposition on Thursday as we had an arrival for the next pitch to you and your wind break would of been on their grass.
We would always ask customers if they have any issues to let us know.

Good site .

Local attractions

Circled by farmland in the centre of west Cornwall, Chacewater Park is in the middle of England’s UNESCO-listed tin mining lands. If you’re coming to this Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape region by public transport, you can easily catch one of the regular bus services from Truro, Redruth, Penzance or St Ives. Driving? The park’s minutes from the A30, meaning the sandy, cliff-backed beaches on the county's north coast, like Portreath, Saint Agnes and Porthtowan, are reachable in no more than 15 minutes. Up for walking? Join the Mineral Tramways Coast to Coast Trail, running from Portreath to Devoran on the south coast, and follow in the footsteps of horse-drawn trams from days gone by. Low-key wanders can be had at Tehidy Country Park, a 15-minute drive to the north, in 250 acres of woodland and lakes with nine miles of trails. To up the pace a little, you can get in a round of golf on the course under 15 minutes' drive away – or ask the site’s friendly staff to help you organise a boat ride on the River Fal.
