  • Quiet, rural, sheltered and well-maintained site on a working farm
  • Within four miles of Hayle and Marazion on the north and south coasts
  • Barbecues allowed: buy locally-sourced meat and veg within two miles
It's a truth splendidly acknowledged that any Cornwall site will be fably placed. A berth anywhere in this cracking county will have happy adventurers within easy reach of beaches, craggy coastline, watersports, the South West Coast Path, splendid old sights including tin mines and old lighthouses… and world-famed hits like the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan: you'll never have to drive over an hour and a half for the whole heap. And how nifty then is a site on the western side of Cornwall, to be handily set for both north and south beaches? Step forward, terrific Trevessa Farm, between the north coast at Hayle and the south coast at Marazion: both must-sees and both within a paltry four miles. You're so stunningly set here that you'll need to stick around for at least a few weeks (show the boss the site pics to plead your case): Trevessa is in a peaceful, scenic, rural and sheltered spot with an excellently-maintained pitching field centred around a working farm (do neigh/moo hi to the horses and cattle while here). There's easy access to the South West Coast Path from here, along with top Cornwall spots like St Ives and Sennen Cove. The site covers three-quarters of an acre, edged by a pretty footpath meandering down to the River Hayle below. It's a couple of miles from here to the nearest village, St Erth, where there's a village shop and post office, a pub and a lively Saturday morning market selling locally-grown veg, free-range eggs, homemade pies, bread, fresh fish and locally produced organic beef, pork, sausages and bacon… it's just as well that barbecues are allowed back at your smashingly scenic Cornish farm base.

What customers say

A chilled, little farm camp with cracker country views, grouse for exploring Cornwall. Showers & loos are clean, hot water's good. Owners are friendly, animals are a bonus. Better signs, more sinks & washing-up water noted as improvements. Some sites are a bit sloped.

Liked Lovely quiet campsite, great views with some very noisy cows. Lol.

Liked Based on a farm with cattle and horses. It was very quiet. Lovely to see animals out.
Plenty of space.
Hospitable host.
Hot showers with excellent strong water pressure.
Public footpaths close by.

Disliked Just a suggestion. A bench in the shower area to put things on and sit down to dry feet.
Tiles a bit slippy out of shower area but non slip in shower.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked The view from the pitch was lovely, when the weather was nice and the sun was shining it was great to sit outside!

The site was peaceful and in a really nice location.

We really enjoyed our stay!

Disliked Facilities was okay - could do with another sink in the toilets as they were times we had to wait to wash our hands or brush our teeth etc

Hot water was really hit or miss in the washing up area, you would either have it for one second then it would be cold in some cases have none at all - even when no one else was showering, washing up etc

A minor thing would be to improve the signs saying how to set up camp - a white piece of a4 paper with pink highlighter saying how to set up camp can be a bit hard to read at the best of times, and also when there’s only a sign in the washing up area - you don’t tend to see it untill you’re set up, in our case we were lucky we’d set up camp up basically as per the sign but other people may not!

A couple of small improvements are needed but I must say we did have a great stay and would 100% return should we stay in the area again!

Liked Lovely location, quiet with great views. Easy access to St Ives, Lands End and Penzance. Farmer very responsive and helpful.

Disliked Water was always hot in the shower and fundamentally this is a great site, but the facilities could do with a bit of TLC.

Local attractions

Well now, where does one start? At Hayle first perhaps, to access the South West Coast Path to Portreath (11.9 miles) or the other way to St Ives – six miles, followed by a bite or two in a seafood restaurant. More first-rate scrambles are around nearby West Penwith or Land's End peninsula, home to arty St Ives as well as beaches and coves so spectacularly scenic they'd nearly make you weep (as you well might, once the boss summons you back home). This is one of the most lushly scenic parts of Cornwall – yes, that's saying something – have picworthy times at world-famed Sennen Cove as well as at Lamorna Cove and Porthcurno, all within 35 minutes' drive. Weeks' worth of other options are around for day trips, like Paradise Park at Hayle (10 minutes), boat trips on the Fal from Falmouth (45 minutes) and hunting for antiques inland at Truro (50 minutes). The Eden Project is an hour and 15 minutes away.
