The view of the Valley at Kestle View, south facing - a real sun-trap!
New
A great view from our south facing campsite - can it get any better?
Beautiful view from our tent.
Beautiful view this morning

  • Simple, peaceful Cornwall pop-up site 15 minutes’ drive from Newquay
  • Fistral surfing beach 15 minutes’ drive; Holywell Bay 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pitches with valley views; pubs 15 minutes’ walk
When what you want is peace, space for the kids to play and no-frills facilities on a Cornwall holiday, Kestle View comes up trumps in all three cases. This quiet pop-up site just south of Newquay sits in a four-acre field on a rural farm, where you can pick your own pitch at a site that's got masses of space for kids to be kids. Amenities stretch only to loos; there is no hot water or electricity available (come prepared with bottled water and torches), so your stay will certainly be an adventure without lots of modern amenities. When you’re feeling like really going wild, there’s woodland at the bottom of the field with several suitable spots for pitching up. You can also pitch alongside the small river running through the farm, exercise any family dogs (or the kids) on waterside walks or choose shaded spots overlooking the river for family picnics. Newquay supermarkets and pubs are 10 minutes’ drive away, it’s easy to get to the local surfing beaches, and there’s a surfboard shop with a repair service in Kestle Mill, within five minutes’ stroll of the site. If you’re on public transport, it’s handy to note there’s a bus stop in Kestle Mill (10 minutes’ walk) and a railway station in Quintrell Downs (15 minutes), as well as a small supermarket and several pubs.

Hayley S.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Beautiful peaceful setting, toilets, water and somewhere for your rubbish, very quiet

Disliked there should be a notice saying not suitable for Motorhomes the track is very rough. We went up in an 8 m motorhome. All the trees were scratching the top of the roof and we were scraping the underside in places.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked Beautiful location, I loved how rural and simple it was. Email correspondence was fast and friendly. It was lovely to be met by calm, kind people, checking our booking, and discussing our plans for the day. Chatty, open, and relaxed. We were unable to make it for our first night, but have been offered to transfer it over to our next visit. very grateful for the whole experience.

From the manager: We are so pleased that you love our quiet rural site - we wanted to create a calm natural environment for everyone to enjoy. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Thanks very much,

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked I really liked the friendly staff, the clean toilet facilities, the available drinking water, and the handy use of slates for BBQs and cookers.

Disliked On the downside, the road leading to the campsite isn’t great, and it’s close to a busy, noisy road.

Liked Nice rural location, really friendly and helpful hosts, great pub within walking distance. We only stopped for a night but excellent 👌 close to Newquay. No showers but we washed our hair under the fresh water tap, the portaloos were very clean.
