  • 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.

What customers say

Great campsite with spacious fields, lovely views, and new facilities. Owners are friendly, and the bar/food van (burgers!) with live music is a hit. Excellent location near Padstow. Some uneven ground & need for more washrooms during busy periods.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great location just 10min drive from Harlyn bay and padstow. Spacious field with no set pitches so can pitch away from others. New and clean toilet/shower block

Disliked Field is bumpy and not level - not an issue if you have levellers. Cost for dog is expensive at £3 per night with no extra facilities for dogs

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Nice and quiet, everyone was respectful and it was close to a holiday home place which did really good food. I also liked that you could easily fill your water up.

I would definitely stay again.

Disliked The food van didn’t look particularly appealing and the bus bar wasn’t open unfortunately.

When I went to the toilet during the night there was only light on which was outside of the cubicles so you were basically using the toilet in complete darkness.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank for staying with us! I can assure you the lighting issue is completely out of the ordinary. We unfortunately had a power cut affecting over 700 properties. We tried to make everyone aware of this by putting it on social media but as it was quite late at night we couldn’t go around telling everyone. Look forward to seeing you again!

This is a brilliant campsite! There is a lot of space and…

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great budget friendly place to stay, This was a last minute get away for us and everything was super easy.
Incredibly friendly owner and staff, greeted us quickly and with a smile, even suggested where the best place to pitch up for watching the sunset. When we couldn't find logs from the local shops, they gave us the option to buy some from the site.
Even though you're unable to walk to the local pub you can have a drink on the site, buy a pint at the bus and look out over the hills and fields. no traffic noise, just nature.
The toilet / shower block is new and very clean!
You also have full phone signal even at the bottom of the hill.

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.
