Mount Pleasant Eco Park

View prices & book Last booked one hour ago 8.9 147 reviews

42-acre eco site with wide views of the north Cornwall coast
Footpath to Porthtowan beach; 10 minutes' drive to St Agnes
Vegetarian café on site; campfires and barbecues permitted

Off to the north Cornwall coast and fancy being able to walk to the beach easily from where you’re staying? The place is Mount Pleasant Eco Park, and the beach in question is Porthtowan, a gorgeous long sandy stretch with plenty of space to play in on the sand or up in the dunes and a summer lifeguard service for swimmers and surfers. Getting there simply involves a strong along the footpath that runs directly from the site (and also takes you to a couple of pubs and takeaways within a short stroll too). The pretty village of St Agnes and larger town of Redruth are both within a 10-minute drive should you need more eating/drinking/shopping options. It all adds up to a fabulous location – but the team here haven’t relied on that alone to draw people to their park. Much love and care has gone into setting up this site, which is part of a 42-acre community space providing lots of useful things to local residents (think organic garden space, eco-friendly workspaces and an education programme). Events are often hosted here, so you may well be able to catch some live music or a traditional skills workshop if you like. No worries if you’d like to do your own thing though – there’s so much space here that you can always find a peaceful corner well away from the action even when there’s an event in full swing. All facilities have been well thought out here – compost toilets and solar showers among them. Barbecues and campfires are permitted if you’d like to try outdoor cooking; if not, the café is open Wednesday to Sunday for tasty plant-based meals using local produce.

Assigned primitive grass tent or RV campsite (large)

Liked: Lovely quiet campsite with excellent facilities. Spotlessly clean and even a quick wash dishwasher to use. Walked down to the town which was 30-40mins. I imagine double that on way back so instead got bus to Barbrook and walked 15 mins up the hill. Highly recommend this option.

Disliked: Nothing. Never been to such a clean campsite

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: Great location for Porthtowan, nice peaceful spot and felt safe on my own. It was great to be able to have a bbq and campfire.

Disliked: Was a bit noisy in the daytime with groundworks being done and tractors constantly going back and forth, but I presume they are just taking advantage of the quieter winter season to get things done.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked: What an amazing place! We had such a wonderful time. It's got that lovely wild feel, but it's also really well organised, which we appreciated. The walk down to the beach was beautiful, and the facilities were just what we needed. The kids had a blast exploring and we felt completely safe letting them roam. We especially loved that fires were allowed – it made for some a cozy evening, even though the wind tried its best to put a damper on things (luckily, our pitch was perfectly sheltered!). We'll definitely be back!

Local attractions

Porthtowan beach will almost certainly be your first stop (possibly even the very minute you’ve dropped your bags off) but then what? Well, perhaps a walk along the South West Coast Path to see some more of that coastal scenery (Chapel Porth and the Wheal Coates mine are not far off), or a direct route to one of the other gorgeous beaches – perhaps Gwithian (15 minutes’ drive) or Perranporth (20 minutes). A stop in the lovely village of St Agnes (10 minutes) is a must, and art lovers will surely also want to head over to St Ives (25 minutes) to explore Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum. The north Cornwall coast has plenty to keep you busy for many a day, but if you fancy a change of scenery it’s not far to get to the south coast for days at Falmouth, Trebah Garden, Glendurgan Garden and Gyllyngvase beach (all about half an hour away).
