General overviews
Lots of space

  • Friendly and family-run rural site 10 minutes' drive from Helston
  • A natural wildlife habitat with plenty of space to play
  • Pub within walking distance; two miles from Praa Sands beach
Ah, that old Cornish dilemma: coast or country? If you conclude that a bit of both would be quite tremendous, take a look at Tremorvu Campsite and Glamping, a friendly, family-run place that’s got both distant sea views and eight acres of rural space to play with. The peaceful fields here are bordered by hedges that encourage the local wildlife to hang around; pop your head over the top and you’ll be looking north towards Tregonning Hill or south to see the sea at Praa Sands (two miles away). Grab a glass, put your feet up and face west at a suitable hour and you may well be in for a spectacular sunset to finish the day. Within those hedges are plenty of space to strike up a barbie or campfire while the nippers run about. In peak season, a small shop opens up to sell local eggs, milk, bread, bacon and other essentials, plus the occasional homemade cake. Other supplies can be picked up at the supermarkets in Helston (10 minutes’ drive), and there’s an excellent pub 15 minutes’ walk away if you’d like a little stroll before your drinks and dins. Working up an appetite for meals shouldn’t be too hard… there are walks, bike rides, surfing, watersports and beach days all within a few miles, and you’re also in a strategic position for days out at St Michael's Mount, St Ives and heaps more Cornish faves.

What customers say

This quiet, well-kept campground offers generous sites and great views. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owners and clean amenities, including hot showers. Glamping is well-equipped; many enjoy the natural setting. While some found the washrooms a bit dated, most are very happy. It's a perfect base for exploring Cornwall's beaches and sights. Wi-Fi is usually good, but can be spotty sometimes.

Wild Field bell tent

Liked Was such a beautiful glamping experience.
We arrived and everything was set up, really clean perfect inside and out and everything we needed to cook/clean and relax with our two children who absolutely loved it.
The toilets and showers were super clean and 2 minutes round the corner from the camping.
The pizza was 10/10 we ended up getting them both nights!! We also enjoyed a gorgeous breakfast sandwich the day we left.
Super friendly and helpful and friendly everything seemed to be thought of.
We used this as a base to explore the lizard and visit kynance cove and it was ideal to see these.

Wild Field bell tent

Liked Everything. This place is a gem. We spent three nights in one of the bell tents and I only wish I could have stayed longer. Everything you could need is provided, you only need towels. The toilets and showers were really clean and the showers had hot water at the perfect temperature every time. The wildlife around added to the charm. Great beaches nearby and Portleven which is charming is a very short drive away. Would definitely stay again

Power optional grass campsite (solo)

Liked If you're after a quiet, basic site, then this will be perfect. Great size pitches and was able to choose where I wanted. Very reasonably priced. Even the hairdryers were good for a campsite. Fantastic location for exploring West Cornwall.

Local attractions

Stretch those legs out and get your boots on – there are heaps of fab walks nearby. Traipse up Tregonning Hill (half an hour or so) for tiptop scenic views and then carry on to the National Trust’s Godolphin Estate (an hour’s hike) for gorgeous garden walks. (Top tip: the grounds are particularly ravishing when all the bluebells burst to life in May.) You can stroll by the sea too should you wish, using the scent of salt air to point you to the South West Coast Path, a mere couple of miles away. You’re never far from a stunning beach in Cornwall, either: the top choices round here are Praa Sands (10 minutes’ drive) for sandcastles, swimming and surfing, and the little secluded cove at Rinsey, just a little further east. For kayaking and paddleboarding, plot a course to Porthleven harbour (15 minutes). Pack yourselves into the car and you’re within easy reach of all sorts of day trips: St Michael's Mount (15 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes) and the galleries of St Ives (half an hour); you might also consider going all the way to the edge at Land’s End (40 minutes).
