  • Peaceful Cornish pop-up site 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston
  • Tintagel Castle and Widemouth Bay surfing beach both 25 minutes’ drive
  • Open-air shower; free-range eggs and firewood for an additional fee
When you’re Cornwall bound and wanting to dodge the coastal crowds, think clever and book your stay at Tregonger Dawn, a pop-up site on a rural property surrounded by lush valleys and woodland 20 minutes’ drive from Launceston. Here you’ll wake up and hear only the song of birds, or the snuffling of horses as they graze happily in neighbouring fields. Step back from the rat race, drink coffee with your loved ones as the sun rises over the hills, take leisurely strolls through open fields – dogs are welcome to accompany you too by the way – and whizz up to Cornish north-coast beaches (20 minutes’ drive) for a spot of rockpooling or splashing around with the kids. In the evening, cook under the stars, which put on quite a display on cloudless nights. Eggs from the farm’s free-range hens await you in the morning (for an additional fee), and you can rouse yourself for an early start under the outdoor shower on the periphery of the camping meadow (next to the toilet shacks). If you fancy setting up a firepit, the site handily sells firewood on site. For an evening out, there are a couple of good pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site, and if you’ve left anything critical behind at home, you can probably replace it at the supermarkets in Launceston.

Power optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We stayed for 11 nights for our summer holiday. The owners were so lovely! They let our children visit all the animals on the farm and couldn’t be more kind and helpful.
The campsite is a small idyllic piece of heaven in rural Cornwall. Quiet and peaceful, and a sheltered sun trap, you wake up to the view of horses in the opposite field and perhaps some geese waddling by. For our young children who love animals this added extra fun and excitement to our holiday. The facilities are eco friendly and basic which was fine for us. The outdoor shower uses filtered local spring water and is lovely and hot.
Tregonger is also a really good central location for exploring north Cornwall with Tintagel, Boscastle, Bude and plenty of gorgeous local beaches within a half an hour drive. And Padstow only slightly further. We couldn’t recommend this place enough, and we will be back!

Disliked Nothing! We had the best stay!

Local attractions

It’s all too easy to fall under the spell of gorgeous Cornwall when you spend the day visiting magical Tintagel Castle (25 minutes’ drive), once a medieval powerhouse and soaked in Arthurian legend, photographing the cute-as-a picture narrow inlet at Boscastle Harbour (20 minutes) and walking up to Golitha Falls (half an hour) though moss-and-lichen covered woodland. There are more testing hikes up Bodmin Moor to the giant slabs of stone at Rough Tor (40 minutes) or the cairn at Brown Willy (35 minutes), the highest point in Cornwall. If you hit a day when the weather doesn’t play nice, you can spend time undercover in giant biospheres full of sculptures and rare plants at the Eden Project (45 minutes). When all the kids want to do is paddle in the sea, head for Trebarwith Beach (20 minutes) where you can also go rockpooling, or photogenic Bossiney Cove (25 minutes), something of a local secret approached by a natural tunnel through the cliffs. When conditions are right, Widemouth Bay (also 25 minutes) is a popular destination for surfers.
