  • Small and peaceful north Cornwall site on the edge of Mawgan Porth
  • A 15-minute drive to Newquay or 20 minutes to Padstow
  • Dogs welcome at the site and beach; bus stops a few minutes' walk
If you're keen to escape the crowds in Cornwall, this could be the place for you. With a name like The Little Field Camping it will probably come as no surprise to hear that this pop-up site is on the smaller side, with just a handful of pitches surrounded by woodland and hedges. That setup gives this place a peaceful vibe for a relaxing rural stay – and with the coast fabulously close by as well. The site is just on the edge of the little village of Mawgan Porth, about half a mile from its gorgeous sandy beach and just a short walk from a pub, café, convenience store and a couple of restaurants. The village has bus stops too, so it’s easy to get to places like Newquay or Padstow on public transport (good news for those who don’t have their own wheels, or would like to avoid finding parking spaces). You’ll also be in prime position for getting out to some of the north Cornwall coast’s top spots, including Perranporth, Polzeath and the clifftop walks of Trevose Head. Turn inland and there are plenty of options for fun days out, including the nearby Camel Creek Family Adventure Park. This is a petite and peaceful pop-up site, so the facilities are on the simple side but you’ll have access to a barbecue, a communal firepit and a washing-up area as well as bathrooms with toilets, showers and electric plugs. Dogs are welcome on site, and are also allowed on the beach throughout the year.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful, low-key camping experience with a focus on privacy, with many pitches described as secluded enclaves. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are consistently praised for being clean and well-maintained with hot water. Its location is highlighted as excellent, with a short walk to the beach and local amenities. Some guests found van pitches a bit small and noted a steep walk to the beach. Feedback also mentions a need for clearer recycling facilities and improvements to the open-air washing-up area.

Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch

Liked Location excellent, facilities excellent, plenty of toilets and showers for the number of pitches. Definitely on our list for next time 👍

Disliked Bit of confusion with the pitch numbers meaning our 2 vans couldn't be together but we managed fine.
Bit of road noise during the day but very quiet at night which is the main thing.

Recommend to friends Visit again

We had a lovely, relaxing 4 nights at The Little Field campsite.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)

Liked Lovely secluded pitches surrounded by nature, we had number 10. We enjoyed feeding the robins and our two elderly labradors enjoyed, although the walk alongvthe road to and from the beach was steep for them. The showers and toilets were basic, but clean and quirky. Good to be able to charge up phones etc. Nice and quiet, not too busy. Walkable to the beach and facilities. Nice views.

Disliked More recycling options would be good eg plastic.
A sign (and bin/bags) for dog poo as some people didn't pick it up.

Liked The location was great. Short walk to Mawganporth. Facilities were in great condition. The site was well looked after and pitches were good size and well maintained. The tent pitches were secluded.

Disliked Slight mix-up with booking, which was rectified.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Amazing, definitely will be visiting yearly. Hidden gem of a campsite.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (medium)

Liked Niche, cute, cozy and secluded.
Just the right amount of facilities to keep you keen but not to much to take away from the wild feel of camping.
Mawgan Porth beach 5 minute walk up and down a hill
View was spectacular with visibility of planes taking off from Newquay airport!
Showers and toilets where lovely and clean for what you’d expect camping

Disliked With no reception, just anyone could wonder in.
Some large group came in one of the days however didn’t bother us.

Local attractions

Obviously your first stop will be at the splendid sands of Mawgan Porth beach – it's just a few minutes' walk away and has rockpools as well as a huge swathe of sand for sunbathing and sandcastles. There’s also a surf school at the beach and the chance to get competitive at the crazy golf or pitch and putt. One beach is never enough in Cornwall though, is it? With that in mind, you may like to set off for a walk along the South West Coast Path, north to Pentire Steps or south to Newquay. Other local favourites include Porthcothan (five minutes' drive), Padstow (20 minutes) and Perranporth (half an hour), along with hikes or games of golf near Trevose (15 minutes). For a change of pace and scenery, spend a day on the rides at Camel Creek Family Adventure Park (15 minutes), explore the Tudor manor and formal gardens at Trerice (20 minutes) or ride the steam trains at Lappa Valley (25 minutes).
