  • Playground on site; firepits for hire and logs for sale
According to Greek mythology, the original ‘Elysian Fields’ were meadows, a haven that provided sanctuary and breathed new life into all those worthy of entering. While Cornwall's Elysian Fields are in no means mythological, they are a properly splendid place to unwind… Set between the little villages of Breage and Ashton, the family-run site has seven acres of space and scenic views towards Tregonning Hill, as well as distant glimpses of the sea and cliffs of the Lizard peninsula. Pitch up here and you’ll be able to stroll along quiet footpaths to the local villages or walk to the top of Tregonning Hill, which stands at 194 metres and gives views from coast to coast over west Cornwall, including Mount’s Bay and St Ives. More adventurous walkers can explore the Godolphin Estate, while those who’ve come along for the coast can take a short drive to the ancient harbour at Porthleven or gorgeous Praa Sands beach. The site has its own bar and restaurant, Tony's Tavern (open during high season only), with draught Cornish beers and cider. Cornish breakfasts and lighter breakfast baps are available in the mornings between 9am and 11am, and a range of evening meals are on offer between 6pm and 9pm. Takeaway meals can be delivered to the pitches if you prefer. To make your stay more comfortable, picnic benches, windbreaks and firepits can be hired, with a plentiful supply of kiln-dried logs on sale in the shop to help warm up cooler evenings. Also on site are a playground, a small shop (open during high season; opening hours are displayed on the door, but outside of those hours, the shop can also be opened upon request), a laundry room with coin-operated washing machines and a tumble dryer. Guests also have use of two large freezers, a fridge, an iron and ironing board, and a microwave.

What customers say

Showers get rave reviews – clean, modern & the best ever! Staff are super friendly & helpful, pitches are roomy, and it's a cracker base for Cornwall. Tony's Tavern's a hit for food & vibes. Some reckon hand soap in showers would be the cherry on top.

Liked Absolutely lovely stay as always. The individual beautiful and quirky bathroom facilities are just brilliant, including a larger one for families or those, like us, with a disabled guest. Site is superbly located for easy walking access to bus stops heading to either Penzance or Falmouth and everything in-between, local pubs for great food and of course there is Tony's Tavern on site. We look forward to staying again in the future.

 Laura B. 1 review

Powered grass site (XL)

Liked We have just spent 4 amazing nights at this camp site and it was worth the 5 hour journey! Lovely well looked after pitches, great in size, so much room for the kids to play freely and safely! Not crowded at all it was a true lovely camping experience! Toilet and shower blocks were fantastic, as were the washing up sinks! Simple yet exactly what we wanted and owner was lovely and attentive and let us hire a windbreaker for the entire duration for just a tenner! We ate a lovely breakfast at Tony’s and it was a great base for us to go exploring!

Disliked Honestly there is nothing we didn’t like, it was exactly what we wanted, simple and well looked after! If I had to be knit pick, I would say it would be great to have some hand soap provided in the toilet shower blocks but I will take the fact they were cleaned morning and night over the soap any day!

Loved this site, would definitely return if come down that way again.

Powered grass site (XL)

Liked Stayed on an XL pitch with our tent there was loads of room, loved it, we were on a slope so had to turn the tent in a different direction. The toilets and showers were brilliant loads of space plenty of hot water. Done to a high standard. There is another set of just toilets which are also lovely and clean. There are plenty of dish washing areas in and out. The washers and dryers are a big bonus nice and clean used them twice. Lovely owners. Good located site.

Disliked The slope but not a big deal we sorted it.
Could do with a bit more variety on the menu at Tony's tavern again not a big deal we were out exploring so didnt get time to sample the goods.

Local attractions

Having gazed out over Tregonning Hill, it's a fine idea to amble over there for a closer look. It’ll take you around 45 minutes of leisurely walking to get to the top for some excellent views over both north and south coasts and plenty of historical info on the old mining pits and war memorial. Likewise, the beaches you’ve glimpsed from afar look pretty fab from up close too. The sands of Porthleven, three miles away, are the nearest, and there are plenty of others a short drive away, including Praa Sands and Marazion (from where you can take a boat or cross the causeway to St Michael’s Mount). Arty types may like to spend a day in St Ives, half an hour’s drive away, taking in the exhibits of Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. Perhaps less highbrow but equally entertaining is the Cornish Seal Sanctuary in Gweek.
