What customers say
Friendly, tidy site with private, roomy spots. Spotless facilities and helpful hosts. Great for exploring Cornwall with nearby shops. Tight access road and occasional workshop noise noted for improvement.

Liked Lovely campsite in great location.
Amazing sheltered pitches. Great for our dog.
Very clean and welcoming facilities.
Disliked Would benefit from a fridge / freezer for re-freezing ice blocks.

From the manager: Thank you very much for a lovely review and of course your custom. We really appreciate your custom and as a side note we have always had a freezer at request in our barn. However, with the new upgrade to the wash-bay area it is now out in the new walkway for everyone to use at their ease now. Thank you for the feedback though as this is help we keep refining the site and it's very much appreciated.

FHU grass and gravel tent or RV campsite
Liked Hillcrest Views is exactly the kind of campsite you hope to find when travelling in a campervan quiet, clean and relaxed. The site sits on a hill with wide open countryside views, making evenings feel calm and private. It’s the ideal stop if you want somewhere peaceful but still close to Cornwall’s best beaches and cliff walks. My favourite campsite in Cornwall!

Loved it will return
FHU grass and gravel tent or RV campsite
Liked Had an amazing 4 nights at Hillcrest. The pitches, facilities and grounds were kept immaculate by Amy and Roger.
They were both super friendly, helpful and always available.
The site was within 10 minute walking distance to the nearest pub and amazing Pasty shop in the village. We also enjoyed walks in nearby Tahidy Woods and the coastal path between Portreath and Porthtowan.
Also a special mention to Amy and the 2 mechanics working on the farm that sorted our pop top roof. Without them we wouldn't have got home. Thank you 🙏🏽

Superb campsite.
Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked What a superb campsite, kept beautifully clean and tidy. Nice showers, loos and wash up area. We were grateful for the hedges around each pitch which helped keep us sheltered from the wind. Gorgeous views. Walking distance into the village where there are shops and a pub, and lovely woodlands to walk through. Amy and Roger looked after us very well and were really helpful with advice on local places of interests as well as any questions we had about the site. They froze the blocs for our coolbox and rescued my shower gel when I left it in the shower. Camp fires and BBQs are allowed as long as it's not too windy.
Disliked The entrance to the site is a bit tricky to find but Amy gave us very detailed instructions - thank you!
