  • Eco-friendly Cornish campsite on a 32-acre working farm
  • Two miles from the coast at Crackington Haven; Bude 15 minutes' drive
  • In an area of outstanding natural beauty with minimal light pollution
Trelay Campsite is a small-scale site set on the grounds of a 32-acre working farm in St Gennys, Cornwall. The spectacular coastal scenery of Crackington Haven is roughly two miles from base, while Bude's wider range of beaches are all within 15 minutes by road. This rural campsite, which is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, has extra-low light pollution, meaning that the stars look particularly stellar here at night. Other pluses of staying at Trelay Campsite include this spot’s well-kept amenities like toilets, showers and a shared food prep space, plus a fridge, freezer and cooking facilities. There are also charging points for phones, tablets, shavers and other small devices, as well as a shared washing machine which is free for reasonable use. Dogs are allowed at this friendly farm site, but you'll need to keep them on leads at all times to avoid worrying the livestock. If you need to stock up on food, there's a post office and basic food shop about three quarters of a mile down the road. The closest pub is by the A39, under a mile from the farm gates. On site, there is a gallery and craft shop which sells items from local artists and creators. Firepits are available to borrow for each pitch (and for the duration of your stay).

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Flat field, somewhere to charge phone , use of kettle and fridge

Disliked: Lack of hot water for showers,2 out of 4 days and it didn't matter what time of day or night I tried to shower

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello, thankyou for taking the time to leave your review, although slightly confused as to the problem with the hot water as this wasn't highlighted to us at all at the time - both our numbers are easily accessible and we live on site but were given no indication there was a problem. As you know our showers and hot water are solar generated so there can very occasionally be issues with demand, but these can be rectified if we are made aware. We hope you enjoyed your holiday in Cornwall and find a campsite more to your liking if you visit again.

Perfect site for those who like minimalist camping.
