What customers say

Highly recommended, clean, well-kept site with spacious, hedged pitches. Staff are friendly & helpful, facilities excellent (powerful showers), and views beautiful. Some note minor noise from nearby businesses & occasional light timer issues. Great for exploring Cornwall.

Robert D.

Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Myself, wife and two dogs Ollie ang Gwyn had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Hillcrest Views Campsite. Communication prior to arrival was spot on, which made finding the site simple. We were met on arrival by Roger who showed us to our pitch, explained where everything was, and what was in the local area.

The location is absolutely ideal, peaceful, scenic, and perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding area. Pitches were generously sized, providing plenty of space and privacy, which we found ideal with set boundaries to keep dogs in check.

Facilities on-site were excellent, clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Everything we needed was readily available, and it’s clear that the site is managed with care and attention to detail.

Spoke to Amy who highlighted what improvements were intended for the future of the site, all good in my books. You obviously care about the the site and your customers, I wish you all the well in future.

Overall, Hillcrest Views is well cared for and strikes a perfect balance between comfort and nature. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality camping experience in a beautiful setting.

Helen J.

Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Everything was perfect. Lots of communication before arrival so knew exactly how to get to site and even had a text on the morning to say our pitch was empty so if we wanted we could arrive earlier than check in time. Amy and Roger were both lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Facilities were really clean and well presented. Really close to local amenities and easy to get around Cornwall from this site. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We love the fact that there are only 24 pitches, each one separated by hedges. The space in the middle is great for the kids to have a play around and get away from their screens. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This was our 2nd visit and we would be back again next year.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your lovely review! I hope your boys enjoyed the walk to the beach through the woods! It was a pleasure having you back on site again and I loved our chat! Sending you all the best as you round out your year!

David B.

Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This campsite is just a few miles from home, but we chose it as a little getaway spot for the evening — and it was perfect for exactly that.

Tucked away down a quiet lane, away from the main road, the site feels wonderfully remote and peaceful. The pitches are spacious, easily fitting our car, gazebo, and two four-person tents without feeling cramped.

The hosts were warm and welcoming, and the whole site had a clean, well-kept feel to it. It was quiet and relaxing, yet very family-friendly, with a small football pitch in the middle that kept the kids entertained. (It could have been divided into extra pitches, but I liked that it was left for play instead.)

Facilities were well thought-out. There were two sinks for washing up, complete with scourers and washing-up liquid provided — a thoughtful touch. Toilets and showers were also spotless and well maintained.

Overall, it was a simple, peaceful, and family-friendly spot that ticked all the boxes for a short escape close to home.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much David for such a thorough review and of course your custom. We have had such great support from local families this year which we really appreciate. We know ourselves, that you don't have to travel far to feel like you are holiday and its often the accumulation of simple things that add up to a lovely felt sense when camping.
Wishing you all the best for the rest of your year!
Amy, Roger and family

Route directions

Coming from Redruth, enter Illogan coming up a large hill. At the brow of the hill you will see two chapels opposite one another. Take it slowly here, as the site is 50 yards further on, on the right-hand side opposite a little crossroad sign for Richards Lane. Look out for a concrete lane with central grass verge between two white cottages; this leads up to the site.

Local attractions

Beach time! It’ll take you 45 minutes or so to walk to the sands and rockpools of Portreath beach (or 10 minutes to drive), or 15 minutes to drive to Gwithian beach for sand dunes and surfing. If you like your watersports to be lake-based, there’s plenty to keep you busy at Stithians Lake, 20 minutes away, including fishing, canoeing and windsurfing. Away from the water, there’s a golf course and a network of walking and bike trails 10 minutes away at Tehidy Country Park, and historic wandering at the Heartlands mining-themed attraction (10 minutes’ drive) and Carn Brea Castle (15 minutes). Bouncy kids need somewhere to expend some energy? Off to the Jump4 trampoline park (10 minutes’ drive) with you. Folk looking to tick off lots of Cornwall’s main hotspots may also like to set their sights on the art galleries of St Ives (25 minutes), St Michael’s Mount (half an hour) or the Eden Project (45 minutes).
