  • Rural site in a quiet grassland setting, a 10-minute drive to Padstow
  • Under 10 minutes' drive from the beaches of Harlyn and Trevone
  • On-site bar, live music at the weekend and street food in high season
Craving a quiet Cornish countryside retreat? Sort a trip to Tregella Place Camping and peacefulness plus lovely farmland views will be yours for the taking. This park is a rural spot but it’s also close enough to the necessities you need for a satisfying stay: a chicken farm is a short stroll away to pick up fresh eggs, and a supermarket and a pub serving food are less than five minutes’ drive away. For foodies, this area is a top choice as Padstow (10 minutes’ drive) is a gastronomic hotspot with eateries helmed by chef Rick Stein, along with other highly rated restaurants, coffee shops and bars. If you really want to earn your dinner, get yourselves there on foot: the walk takes you through the cornfields and starts at the top of the lane. But there’s no real need to leave the site if you’re after evening entertainment; there’s a bar (in a converted bus, no less) serving Cornish beers and ciders, plus a packed schedule of live music at the weekend. In high summer, feed the family from the pop-up street kitchen and eat together at the communal picnic area. Thoroughly pristine facilities include a bricks-and-mortar shower block with family-size showers complete with changing areas, electric points for charging devices and hairdryers, and a washing-up area. You can wander directly on to the South West Coast Path from the park, and for adventures on two wheels, the Camel Trail cycle path is nearby as well.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The woman that ran the camp made me feel cared for. Just simply checking in on how I was when I was erecting my tent and offering suggestions on where I could go to enjoy my afternoon before explaining about the onsite evening entertainment (a ukulele band) which was a real treat.

The toilet facilities were immaculate.. and the man that took care of them had a real pride in his work and it had a special energy.

Would definitely go back.

Disliked Sone one had a large flag and the noise of it flapping all night stopped me from sleeping . It was really irritating.

Big flags are in necessary and should not be allowed as make in necessary noise for us sensitive to sound people. They couldn’t hear it as in a fan, but you can hear everything in a tent.

The ground was really hard and difficult to peg.. take a mallet and spare pegs.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Very relaxed and friendly campsite in a quiet rural setting. Great singer/entertainer on the Saturday night. Loved the bus bar and street food van if you didn't want to cook. Clean shower/ toilet block. At £20 per night we were very impressed.

Disliked Nothing

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great laid back campsite, Nice simple facilities with food van and bar which both were decent!
35/45 min walk into Padstow following a footpath which is an absolute result, we will certainly return!

Disliked the only downside for us was no electric but we knew this before we went and managed without for 3 days so I wouldn’t say a negative but would love this as a addition in future

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great value for money, very friendly and clean. Will 100% be back!

Jennie B.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked The location is a stones throw from my favourite places in Cornwall, Penzance and Trevone Bay.
This is such a relaxed campsite with almost a festival feel with catering, drinks and music on the weekends.
The facilities are clean and smart with most things covered.

Disliked The washing up area was unusual, with a tap over the draining board rather than the sink and the wooden draining board felt a bit unhygenic compared to metal.
We need more phone charging sockets and please can we have a fridge?

Local attractions

There are many pursuits to ponder in the Padstow area, so fingers crossed you have plenty of time on your hands during a trip here. The beaches should be your first place to explore – after getting a glimpse at the closest sandy spots, like Harlyn and Trevone (under 10 minutes’ drive), set off for the scenic Bedruthan Steps (15 minutes). Here for the waves? Hire boards in Padstow (10 minutes) and head for Harlyn (10 minutes) or drive to Newquay (half an hour) and check out the UK’s biggest surf scene. This town also has masses to keep kids occupied, including beaches, a zoo and aquarium. If you need more nipper-friendly places to visit, Camel Creek Adventure Park (10 minutes) is close by and has theme park rides to keep pint-sized thrill-seekers engaged. When travelling child-free, put Prideaux Place (five minutes) on the itinerary – this Elizabethan manor is easy on the eye and also has stunning views out across Padstow’s historic harbour. After having a good nose around the house and grounds, keep the grown-up shenanigans going with a visit to the Trevibban Mill Vineyard (10 minutes), which organises tours and tastings.
