  • Peaceful Cornish site 10 minutes’ drive from scenic sandy beaches
  • A 10-minute drive from Helston and 25 minutes from Penzance
  • Praa Sands and Porthleven within 15 minutes' drive
Do your family’s demands for hols hinge on proximity to shopping towns, whizzing rides and pristine beaches? Tick everyone’s boxes with a visit to Wheal Vreagh Farm, a family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from Helston. The site is about 15 minutes from the edge of the scenic Lizard peninsula, putting plenty of stellar beach options including Praa Sands and Porthleven within easy reach. Porthleven is the nearer of the two, less than 10 minutes away, and is a top spot for paddleboarding and sea kayaking; further afield, sandy stretches at Polurrian and Mullion (both 25 minutes) have fishing and watersports, Porthkerris is 35 minutes away for diving and shipwreck scouting, and Newquay and Sennen Cove are about 45 minutes from base if surfing appeals. For salt-free hours, opt for a day wandering the small shops and pretty streets of Helston, home to the famed Furry Dance. After busy days, make a welcome return to the peaceful site, where unwinding and switching off is a simple matter of grilling up dinner on the barbie and basking in the quiet of the green and spacious grassy fields. Best of all? A washing-up area and launderette on-site mean there’s no need to spend hols dreading the pile of work that will await upon your return home…

What customers say

Great owners, spotless facilities, and roomy pitches with picnic tables. Peaceful spot in South Cornwall. Most love it, but a few had short showers or Wi-Fi problems, and one found management unresponsive to noisy neighbours.

Liked Flat pitches, hot showers, spotlessly clean shower and toilet areas, very clean and decent size washing up facilities, clearly defined (and large!) pitches which each have a big wooden picnic table, friendly owners with great tips and advice, ideal location for going to lots of different areas of Cornwall and different beaches, washing machine and drier on site as well as fridge and freezer for ice pack swapping, peaceful and quiet- hardly any road noise. Can’t wait to come back! Best campsite we’ve stayed in!

Liked The pitches were huge. Lovely clean toilets and hot showers.Fridge and freezer available for you to use.Stunning night skies as its so dark. Saw lots of shooting stars and satellites. A laundry room is also available. Owners are really attentive.Wifi kept dipping out. So meant plenty of family time and no tech.

Disliked You have to use a car to get anywhere.Everthing seems so far away.Wifi wasn't great as you are out in the countryside.( Daughter wasn't impressed)

Liked Wheal Vray Farm camping is a quiet, well equipped site approx 3 miles to the west of Helston. The pitches are nicely maintained with electric hook-ups. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities are central to the pitches and spotless. Choice of beaches a short drive in either direction from Helston. Plenty of choice of shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes and supermarkets in Helston
Highly recommend, Patrick Parkes

Liked We had a brilliant stay. The ground were well manicured and private. The communal facilities were to a high standard and kept clean.

There was wifi at the pitch, benches and plenty of space.

We would definitely revisit.

Local attractions

A 10-minute drive from the coast and the South West Coast Path, the site is well placed for scenic rambles along wild Cornish coastline. Particularly spectacular views are to be had in and around Marazion, where a glance seaward casts eyes on the stunning St Michael’s Mount (reachable at low tide along a causeway from the mainland). That’s far from the only must-visit coastal spot hereabouts either: it’s a 45-minute drive to Land’s End, England’s most westerly point, for plenty of photo opps and a Cornish cream tea – that’s jam, then cream, people – before heading homeward. Keen historians may be drawn to the grandiosity of the ruined but sprawling Godolphin House and Gardens, five minutes away, while budding horticulturists should smell the roses at Glendurgan and Trebah gardens (35 minutes), Trewithian Gardens and the Eden Project (both about an hour). Town time can be spent wandering cobbled streets in pretty St Ives, exploring gardens, galleries and museums in Penzance (and boat trips to the Scilly Isles), or clambering around Henry VIII’s Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, all within about half an hour of the site.
