  • Simple, peaceful campsite on the north Cornwall coast
  • Mawgan Porth five minutes' drive; 15 minutes to Padstow
  • Access to Porthcothan Bay and the South West Coast Path
Set just inland from the north Cornwall coast, Seaview Farm Stays has lovely open views across the surrounding valley and towards the sea. While it's not visible from all of the pitches, guests can catch partial sea views from various points around the site – and facing west, the sunsets can be very memorable. Just five minutes' drive away from St Eval and near several sandy beaches, it's a peaceful and well-placed base for exploring the coast. Pitches are on a slight slope, so make sure to check the pics before you arrive. Coast lovers of all stripes should be in their element here – there are excellent walks along the South West Coast Path to Bedruthan Steps or Mawgan Porth from the site, or you can just stroll through the farm to reach Park Head, Porth Mear Cove or the sands of Porthcothan Bay, a splendid spot for paddling and bodyboarding as well as scenic sunset picnics. Can't get enough? Top spots like Newquay and Padstow aren't far off either. This is a laidback and pleasingly spacious site that welcomes families, groups and dogs and is pretty relaxed about things like barbecues and campfires. Simple facilities include basic toilets, coin-operated hot showers, drinking water taps and a chemical waste disposal facility. Mawgan Porth (five minutes' drive) and Padstow (15 minutes) are your closest places for shops and places to eat, but there's also a shop at Porthcothan Bay for snacks, coffees and ice creams and a nice tearoom a little over a mile away.

What customers say

This basic, back-to-basics campsite is praised for its peaceful atmosphere, generous pitches, and proximity to beaches and coastal paths. Reviewers appreciate the quiet environment and the option to choose their pitch. Facilities are generally described as clean, though some comments indicate they are basic and can be a trek from pitches. Hot water in showers is sometimes reported as temperamental, and toilet roll availability can be an issue. Several guests noted the lack of Wi-Fi and mobile signal as a positive for digital detox, while others found it challenging. Signage has been mentioned as needing improvement.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Good location, very clean and good quality toilets and showers. Friendly communication and reasonable per night for grass pitch.

Disliked Only a couple of minor things, we loved the site overall and would definitely return. We pitched in the campsite next door by mistake and apparently not the only people to do this! If the sign was made larger and read Seaview Farm Stays & Camping it could help. The other campsite had a very large 'camping' arrow sign which made us think it was all part of Seaview Farm directing us to the camping fields, but actually we had pitched up in Atlantic View campsite!
Level ground pitches are quite limited, when the site is busy, campervans definitely need levelling chocks.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked No one bothered us and the beach is a short drive

Disliked Right next to the main Rd and under a flight path. No bins so everything gets dumped in a skip at end of lane so not eco friendly. In the photos we could see the sea but in reality we couldn't see much at all from the top field. My kids couldn't get out of the shower block as the stiff handles meant they were stuck in there for 20 minutes at a time.
Be prepared for no signal

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. Our campsite spans around 10 acres over two fields, giving guests plenty of space to choose a pitch that suits them. If road noise was an issue, moving further into the field would likely have resolved it. We also provide a detailed description of the campsite before booking, so we encourage guests to read this carefully to ensure it matches what they’re looking for.

If you were unable to find the recycling bins, please call into reception or give me a call during your stay and I would have been happy to point you in the right direction.

Stunning views, Alex the site owner…

Electric grass pitch

Liked We loved our stay at seaview! Quite possibly the best holiday I’ve had since my childhood.

The walk to the beach is easily doable for most. Our 4yo walked up and down most days!

The facilities on site were ideal, toilets and showers were clean every morning and even in the evenings were presentable and tidy.

The site was really peaceful and family friendly with plenty of space for the kids to roam around and make friends.

We found phone signal and internet access nearly non existent which only made our stay better, tuning into what’s going on around us so much more.

Alex was really friendly and always pottering around if we needed anything. Can’t wait to book again!

Disliked Nothing!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Plenty of space to choose where to pitch, nice and quiet if you want a relaxing stay, and additional toilet/shower block and sink for dish washing.

Disliked Thought with the name Seaview...there would be seaviews....and there wasnt, which was why we had chosen the farm, as we live local, and wanted a night in our day van, just chilling and watching the sea!.....however, we made the most of the peace and quiet and enjoyed our evening.
