  • Sheltered pitches at a family-run north Cornwall site near Porthtowan
  • Direct access to Mineral Tramways path; half-hour drive to Newquay
  • Heated pool on site in summer, plus play areas and games room
Off to the north coast of Cornwall for your break? Take a look at Cambrose Camping and Touring, in a handy spot a couple of minutes’ drive from Porthtowan. This family-run site is both family- and dog-friendly, and it’s well located for all sorts of outings around the coast and countryside of north Cornwall. A major draw here is direct access to the Mineral Tramways for traffic-free cycling and walking to local attractions or outings to more far-flung parts of the county. That trail also takes you to Portreath beach, a sandy stretch that’s popular with surfers and bodyboarders, and links up with the South West Coast Path for long seaside hikes. There are plenty of other beaches nearby too, including Porthtowan, Gwithian and the popular sands of Newquay (half an hour’s drive away). Back on site, you’ll be staying on flat pitches that are sheltered from any coastal breezes by mature trees. Kids can use the play areas, set up games on the playing field or have a paddle and poke around in the stream on site. There’s also a covered games area with a pool table, and in summer you’ll have the free use of an outdoor heated pool. Essential facilities on site include a launderette, an indoor washing-up area and bathroom blocks with refurbished toilet and shower facilities along with accessible facilities. There’s also a shop on site selling coffees, pastries and those all-important ice creams.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked We stayed here this weekend and we absolutely loved it! The owners where so welcoming and nothing was to much. The facilities where amazing (the showers in particular where the best I’ve experienced at a camp site so far). The camp site was beautiful and there was a lovely little stream to visit. Close to beaches and lots of tourist attractions. They have amazing fire pits available also which definitely is a positive when relaxing out side before bed! Will definitely go back!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great size pitches. Lovely clean campsite. Under new ownership. Lovely friendly family with a warm welcome. Clean amenities with hot showers. Looking forward to seeing the progress as they take this campsite forward even further xxx

Disliked Swimming pool not currently open but very early in season and the price reflected this. Will look forward to seeing the pool when finished.
