  • An adults-only site with scenic views and good transport connections
  • A 20-minute drive to Truro and 15 to Cornwall’s north coast beaches
  • Shop and dog-walking field on site; pub and bakery a 20-minute walk
Peace, quiet and not a child in sight… welcome to adults-only Chacewater Park in Cornwall, set in 11 acres of neatly kept tree- and hedgerow-lined grounds to make up a green and serene site. This is a preferred spot of many a dog owner and nature fan too, with a separate five-acre field that's home to rabbits and wildflowers. For human-centred entertainment, amble over to the local village, a 20-minute walk away, to sip pints in the pub, have a go at bowls or take part in one of the monthly quizzes. Both Truro and National Trust’s Trelissick Gardens are within 20 minutes' drive: time your visit to the latter just right to take in a traditional cream tea too… Back at the park, amenities include two separate shower blocks with shaving points and hairdryers, as well as two laundry areas. Fancy resting with a novel? Swap your last pageturner for your next at the book exchange and settle on the grass for a read. For all-essential eats, a bakery, chippy and convenience shop are close by, and supermarkets are less than 10 minutes' drive away in Redruth for a bigger stock-up.

What customers say

Quiet, adult-only site. Friendly, helpful staff. Guests love clean facilities, spacious pitches, and the dog field. Great for exploring Cornwall. Some mention dated facilities, weak phone signal, or occasional hauling company noise.

Tracey C.

Lower Meadow powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (no pets)

Liked Chacewater Park was perfect for whst we wanted. Our stay was enjoyable. We booked last minute & was greeted at the reception by a lovely friendly gentleman on his bike that gave us the perfect pitch right next to the toilets, shop, dish washing area & shower. We have marked this campsite as a must return to.

Disliked Not really sign posted for such a lovely place to visit. Other than that, there was nothing to dislike

Anne W.

Lower Meadow FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (no pets)

Liked Large level pitch, very quiet, fully serviced, no dogs. Very reasonably priced, convenient for travelling to lots of places. Clean site. Would return.

Disliked The motion sensor in the toilets/showers isn't on for long enough. If you're showering the light goes out its dark as the sensor only picks up movement outside the cubicles. Need to use the car everyday or bus, nothing in walking distance.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We have lots of local walks and a number of engine houses are just a short walk away! We are glad you enjoyed your stay!

Location is brilliant.

Chris W.

Lower Meadow FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (no pets)

Liked We enjoyed our stay here, really good hard standing pitches fully serviced with water and electricity. Nice and quiet, sheltered by hedges. Fish and chips come round on a Wednesday. Shower block is always clean with a powerful shower.
Easy access to Redruth and Falmouth, and central for all the main tourist attractions in the area. We would highly recommend a stay here.

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay!

Upper Meadow Hay powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (pet friendly)

Liked Every time we come to Cornwall, we stay at this campsite. We love it here, so peaceful, lovely walking area for the dog and the staff are lovely and very friendly.

Just sad we had to leave after only staying for 1 whole day due to a family bereavement we had to leave the campsite 😢😢😢 and head home.

Disliked Nothing

Local attractions

Circled by farmland in the centre of west Cornwall, Chacewater Park is in the middle of England’s UNESCO-listed tin mining lands. If you’re coming to this Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape region by public transport, you can easily catch one of the regular bus services from Truro, Redruth, Penzance or St Ives. Driving? The park’s minutes from the A30, meaning the sandy, cliff-backed beaches on the county's north coast, like Portreath, Saint Agnes and Porthtowan, are reachable in no more than 15 minutes. Up for walking? Join the Mineral Tramways Coast to Coast Trail, running from Portreath to Devoran on the south coast, and follow in the footsteps of horse-drawn trams from days gone by. Low-key wanders can be had at Tehidy Country Park, a 15-minute drive to the north, in 250 acres of woodland and lakes with nine miles of trails. To up the pace a little, you can get in a round of golf on the course under 15 minutes' drive away – or ask the site’s friendly staff to help you organise a boat ride on the River Fal.
