  • 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.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

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.

Yurt

Liked Everything, we stayed in the Mongolian yurt with a private bathroom and kitchen facilities. The whole set up was superb, both my partner and I are not particularly out doors people, so for as long as I can remember we have been on camping holidays to enjoy the outside living for a short period. Though as we’ve gotten older the whole setting up a tent and having to walk varying distances to the facilities, has become less of a thrill and more of a chore. So being able to have our accommodation already set up was an absolute revelation. This is our second year ‘yurting’ but our first stay on Trevessa farm. Well Trevessa farm is a whole other level of glamping. With our own personal bathroom and kitchen area, plus everything you need for your stay. Not a thing lacking in making our week stay wonderfully comfortable and enjoyable. We still had all the experience of out door living with no inconvenience of any kind. Simply wonderful. I totally recommend and we have already booked our stay for next year. What more needs to be said. Oh just one thing, Andrew the owner was excellent, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Liked Lovely situation and view. Toilets and showers perfectly ok for a farm site. Hardstanding pitches were good.

Disliked Nothing much except grass between hardstanding pitches could have been shorter.

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked It was small and quiet, surrounded by nature. It was also a great location for getting around to visit various spots such as St.Ives. We also liked the fact that it was on a very gentle slope because it meant our heads were just a little higher than our feet which made for a more comfortable night's sleep.

Disliked Nothing

Power optional grass tent campsite

Liked Site is fantastic. We come here every year and never get tired of how beautiful it is.

Facilities do the job. Showers are excellent. Site is nice and small.

Disliked Only complaint would be that the facilities could do with a deep clean to remove the algae growing in the showers.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Great rural location on a working farm. Very peaceful and quiet. We had a lovely time relaxing, taking in the fresh air, watching the birds, and listening to the farm animals. Also has the pleasure of seeing a bunch of newborn calves come out onto the field and run about in the afternoon sun with the rest of the heard. This was definitely the highlight and entertained us all afternoon. Clean, regularly checked facilities with a hot powerful shower. You might see a couple of spiders in the toilet but it is a rural site so to be expected. Friendly owner who we were able to contact whenever.

Disliked Washing up taps don't run very hot, wasn't a problem, we just boiled up a bit of water to make it better for washing up.

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.
