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.

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 Perfectly located campsite with all the basics you need. The owner and son were absolutely lovely, so kind and making sure everyone had all they needed. Even gave us a lift down to Fistral Beach when we weren't able to get a taxi (Thanks again!)
Portaloos were pristine and didn't smell bad at all, instructions to get there were clear and accurate. We will be back!

Liked Absolutely everything was perfect.
The directions were very descriptive and helpful.
The host was so friendly hospitable with an abundance of local knowledge.
Stunning location so well maintained.
Loos spotless.
View is beautiful.
The pub at the end of the lane is probably the best I have ever been in. Friendly staff and delicious food.
I could go on and on but I don’t want to spoil everything!
