  • Dog-friendly site with sea views a 10-minute drive from Falmouth
  • Trebah Garden 10 minutes’ drive; Flambards Theme Park 25 minutes
  • Woodland walks starting from the farm; half a mile from the local pub
If wind-swept coastal walks with your four-legged friend are your jam, pack your hiking boots (and the lead) and head to Trewen Farm Campsite, a peaceful spot where you can set up on a vast grassy area with spectacular views of the sea. Things feel blissfully remote here, but you’re only half a mile from the nearest village – Budock Water – so when you fancy a pint or you need to stock up on barbecue essentials, you don’t have far to go. For more restaurant options, head to lively Falmouth (10 minutes; or take the bus, which runs a regular service from Budock Water). Woodland trails cross the farm and link to a wider network of walks in the surrounding area, including the South West Coastal Path, which takes you past rugged cliffs and dramatic seascapes to lookouts like Stack Point (50 minutes on foot) and beaches like Swanpool (one hour on foot), a stretch of sand and shingle with kayak and paddleboard hire, plus a miniature golf course. There are also trails in Carwinion Woods (10 minutes), which is a riot of colourful wildflowers in the spring, and a circular walk along the shores of Argal Reservoir (15 minutes), where you might indulge in a spot of birdwatching or fishing (be sure to get a permit for this). If this is all too tame for you, get your adrenaline going at Via Ferrata Cornwall (15 minutes), with multiple routes up granite cliffs.

James P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked: Basic site and facilities - a field on top of the hill, with lots of space and great views across the fields to Falmouth Bay. The facilities were simple, but generally clean, the water was hot and no queues. Nothing glamorous about the site, but that is reflected in the price. Good location close to Falmouth and local beaches.

Disliked: It was windy on the day we arrived and there is very little shelter from the wind.

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked: Great location, beautiful sea view. A peaceful campsite. Clean toilets and hot showers

Disliked: Toilet & shower Facilities a bit tired / damaged in places. Paper towel dispenser needed at the wash basin as they were getting wet / spoiled left on the side. A wooden shower tray would be useful when stepping out of the shower to keep things dry. Cold water in the washing station

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked: Quiet with great views, good phone signal, clean toilets and showers. Good pub in walking distance and a busy stop close by for access to Falmouth.

Disliked: Not much dislike! This is basic camping, but very easy, exactly what we needed. Could use a couple of extra sinks (there’s just one) in the ladies as it got a bit congested in the mornings.

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked: Brilliant little camp site, with beautiful views, toilet block with warm showers, drinking water and black water disposal available. It was very windy when we stayed, however with car parked behind the tent, and hedgerows giving great wind protection this was not a problem. Taxis are very good too, about 14-16.00 for a taxi from town centre. Campsite is very clean and well looked after, highly recommended Mobile phone and 4/5G is very good

Nicola C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked: Lovely view

Disliked: No marked pitches so no privacy and other campers could therefore park where they liked which was far too close to us, despite hardly anyone staying- they all pitched up close to us, (3 campers arrived after us early evening) which didn’t feel necessary given it was a very big field, it also meant they completely stole our view ( as we were only allowed to park at the top of the field). There was no hot water for washing up at all, the only warm water was in the shower ( it wasn’t hot) so you had to boil a kettle to wash up. Other campsites had better facilities for the same price. You had to drive to get to Falmouth too otherwise a very long walk.

Local attractions

The National Maritime Museum Cornwall, overlooking the harbour in Falmouth, displays among other things a collection of small boats from all around the world – from dinghies and lifeboats, to outrigger canoes. Medieval jousts take place throughout the summer at Pendennis Castle, built by Henry VIII on a rocky headland. Green-fingered visitors make a beeline for splendid green hubs such as Trebah Garden and National Trust Glendurgan Garden (both 10 minutes’ drive). The latter spreads across three valleys and has a cherry laurel maze planted almost two centuries ago (1833). Trebah is renowned for its collections of rhododendrons and camellias. Thrill rides at Flambards Theme Park (25 minutes) include the vertiginous Skyraker drop tower, but there are also gentler, more child-friendly attractions, such as a traditional carousel and a miniature western mine train, plus indoor themed areas like the Victorian Village.
