General
- Spacious bell tents at a family-run glampsite in Mount Hawke
- A 10-minute drive from Chapel Porth beach and Trevaunance Cove
- Well-equipped kitchen hut and picnic table for each tent
Comfy stays in the Cornwall countryside – and close to the coastline too? Bank on that sort break at the spacious, family-run Penhallow Campsite. On the edge of the village of Mount Hawke and 15 minutes’ drive from Truro, this glampsite has a rather delicious selection of scenic walks or bike rides locally…
Or you could take the 10-minute drive up to the north Cornwall coast for strolls on the South West Coast Path and beach days at Porthtowan or Chapel Porth. Having the village centre 10 minutes’ walk away is pretty convenient too – it’s easy to wander on down to the café, convenience store or bus stop easily enough (and there’s an excellent skate park there too).
Back at base, you’ll be staying in spacious and well-furnished bell tents with space for two adults and two children (in a full-size double bed and two futon mattresses). You’ll need to bring along bedding and towels, but much else is provided – including rugs to keep things cosy underfoot.
Alfresco dinners (with gorgeous rural views) are all part of the attraction here, and they should be easy enough to sort out as each tent has its own little kitchen hut next door. It’s packed full of handy kit including a fridge, a kettle, a two-ring gas hob and all sorts of pots, pans and plates; once you’ve created your meal, take it out and serve up on the picnic table just outside.
Shared toilet and shower facilities are close to the tents, and there’s also a play area where kids can have a bit of a run about.

Local attractions
Join the surf brigade at Porthtowan beach (10 minutes’ drive)… the coast takes a lot of the limelight in Cornwall, and it’s easy to see why. Perhaps you’ll want to take part in the tradition of bellyboarding on wooden boards at the National Trust’s Chapel Porth beach (10 minutes) or take on the super surf break on Portreath beach (15 minutes).
For more surfs or walks and horse rides along the sand, Perranporth beach (15 minutes) might be up your alley. Other top coastal spots for a wander include the St Agnes Heritage Coast (10 minutes) for remains of tin and copper mines, the St Agnes Beacon (10 minutes) and the handsome harbour by Trevaunance Cove (10 minutes).
Now that you’ve taken in some of the mining heritage, discovering the art of Cornish cider could be up next - Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm (10 minutes) runs tours and samplings. For more historical type places, there are steam train rides on the Lappa Valley railway (25 minutes) or Truro city centre (15 minutes) for a Victorian cathedral and the Royal Cornwall Museum.
