View from the camping field

  • Wild camping field with spectacular views over Cornish countryside
  • A 40-minute drive to the Eden Project, and 20 minutes from Newquay
  • Dog-friendly pitches on a 25-acre site; the beach 10 minutes’ drive
At the top of a valley overlooking the Cornish village of Callestick, Callestick Camping has uninterrupted views to a historic tin mine over a patchwork of green fields. Families, surfers, walkers – and their dogs – all are welcome on this spacious site near Truro with an off-grid, wild camping vibe. With 25 acres spread over four fields and only a small number of pitches, you all have plenty of space for playing with the kids and walking the dog safely. You are also welcome to have a firepit by your tent. From the camping field, it’s a 10-minute stroll into Callestick, home to a well-known ice-cream parlour and a cider farm. Keen to get out in the open air? You can play golf and go horse riding along Perranporth beach (a particularly lovely spot at sunset) in less than 10 minutes’ drive. This is very much a back-to nature-campsite without electricity, so don’t bring the hairdryer. There are toilets though, plus a gas-heated shower, chemical disposal point and a cold-water washing-up sink.

Valley View primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Perfect base for those who like simple sites. The toilets and showers were always clean and enough of them to be available when needed. The showers were excellent, they were hot and had good pressure!
The site owners name and number was on the sites and she very quick to respond when we message a question.
We intended to just stay for one night…we stayed several as it was a great location to explore Cornwall from and the perfect sort of site for us.

Inner Field primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (family)

Liked if anybody want to enjoy cornwall hotspots and beaches without burning your money pockets.. then this is your goto destination .
You need to gear with necessary accessories as this is an non electric pitch , rest all good.
Do not miss the ride to 5mins drive away callestick icecream main office, you will enjoy a delicious ice cream for less price too ( we are 20 member group ) so ordered a icecream tub .

Disliked more toilets and showers and water taps around the camp will be helpful during night

Valley View primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Back to nature style campsite and great if you prefer a wild type of camping with lots of space between neighbours. Beautiful views and so peaceful. We loved the showers, so warm and powerful.
Rattler farm is literally opposite so used it like our local.

Valley View primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very quiet even mid august. Bang opposite the Healey Cornish Cider Farm and 10 mins from Perranporth.
Warm showers too

Disliked No electric sockets on site, but we paid for a non-electric pitch so I'm just being picky!

Local attractions

Enjoy exploring on foot? Callestick Camping is surrounded by green lanes, bridleways and coastal paths. An easy walk is to Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm (five minutes’ stroll) to sample local scrumpy. If it’s surfing all the way for you, the fabled Fistral surfing beach is at Newquay (20 minutes’ drive), while Perranporth beach (10 minutes) has three miles of sand and fantastic surfing waves, with plenty of surf schools and hire shops on tap. To learn about Cornish mining heritage, head for abandoned Wheal Coates tin mine (15 minutes’ drive – recognise it from the TV series ‘Poldark’?), or other relics including Blue Hills (15 minutes) and Great Wheal Charlotte (20 minutes). The site is fairly central to the north and south coasts, meaning that Cornwall’s main attractions are easily drivable, from Atlantic views at Land’s End Landmark Attraction (50 minutes’ drive) to the biospheres packed with rare plants at the Eden Project (40 minutes). Falmouth (half an hour) offers indie shops and seafront eateries as well as hidden coves to splash around in.
