  • Friendly family-run Cornwall farm site 20 minutes' drive from Newquay
  • Take a bus or a five-minute drive to Padstow and its stunning beach
  • Food served mornings and evenings; secure dog walking field available
You’ll have a tough time choosing between Cornish ice cream and fish and chips when you touch down at Padstow View Campsite in Cornwall. Pitch up at a peaceful farm site with estuary views… and use it as your gateway to sandy beaches, harbour towns and the Cornish countryside. Within a short bus journey or five-minute drive of Padstow (and also within walking distance), this friendly site welcomes families and dogs (with an exclusive-use dog-walking field for the latter). It's also only a 20-minute drive from Newquay. The showers on site will help rinse away any sand picked up visiting the seven bays within 10 minutes’ drive (including Trevone Bay, Constantine Bay, Porthcothan Bay, Treyarnon Bay, Booby’s Bay, Mother Ivy’s Bay and Harlyn Bay); there are toilets and a washing-up area on site for guests' use as well. Phone charging lockers are available for powering your gadgets (with wifi available and a decent 4G signal too), and there are plugs on hand for small appliances like hairdryers. When not at the beach, while away your day hiking or cycling around the country trails and coastal paths. Walk directly to Padstow or catch a regular bus from the site. In Padstow, boats are on hand for angling or beach hopping and Rick Stein’s famous seafood recipes can be sampled at several restaurants. Good day out at sea? Bring your catch back to the site, where barbecues are allowed. There's a shop on site with essentials and delicious food is served every night on site. On the morning menu are fresh coffee, cakes and fresh locally sourced bacon rolls. Handily, there are also several pubs and restaurants (including a dog-friendly pick) within a five-minute drive and a farm shop a couple of minutes' drive away.

Top spot! Friendly hosts, clean facilities, great location. Toilets/showers are ace, plus coffee & pizza vans. Some road noise & sloped pitches, but most loved it and would come back.

Liked Lovely stay at padstow view campsite, friendly and helpful stay with a relaxed approach to check in and departure.

The showers and toilets were well maintained and clean and the coffee van and pizza van were an excellent addition and good quality food. Lovely little shop on site too which had all those little extras you didn’t realise you needed 😊

I was camping with friends and their children and the field is also well maintained with plenty of space ⛺️

I will def be recommending to friends and family to come and stay

Liked Peaceful site, owners were lovely and really helpful - very knowledgeable about the area and couldn’t help enough.
Toilets and showers lovely, the food and drink trucks and little shop were handy too.

Disliked When the site filled up over the weekend. Emptied quickly, but seemed like too many people!

Bell tent

Liked We had a great experience at this camping site! The tent was spacious and comfortable, and the air beds were in great condition — perfect for a good night’s sleep. The staff and the owner were very friendly and helpful, which made us feel really welcome. There was a refreshment shop nearby, and the toilets and showers were clean and well-maintained. Overall, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing camping getaway!

Benjamin D.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely time was had for our quick stop at Padstow View, we had a friendly welcome on arrival and was shown the facilities, which are great.

Lovely loos, and shower blocks, great little shop in the main field along with the coffee and tea horsebox, which was apparently very good.

There is hot food in the evenings, but we didn't sample that.....

We stayed in he smaller field across the road, which still has great facilities, lovely clean loos and showers, and smaller shop for essentials.... the road between the two fields is busy so be careful if crossing, especially children....

It is pitch where you like which was great for us, who travelled with friends, so we could have our own little base, brilliant for the children.

Good wifi, if you need it too.....

The views are brilliant, as the name would suggest!

Local attractions

Don’t forget to pack your walking gear… the 18-mile Camel Trail begins in Padstow or Wadebridge (both within 10 minutes’ drive) and there are trails all over the local heritage coast (several within 15 minutes) or a different type of adventure underground at Carnglaze Caverns (40 minutes). The sea is your playground here, too. Boats wait at Padstow Harbour (five minutes) to whisk you out to sea for angling or wildlife spotting… keep your eyes peeled for seals, dolphins, puffins and basking sharks. A ferry can also take you across the river to Rock (otherwise 25 minutes’ drive) for a laidback afternoon. Kids are likely to enjoy the steam railway ride at Lappa Valley (25 minutes) or the animals and rides at Camel Creek Adventure Park (five minutes). As for adults, they can unwind with a meal or wine tasting at Trevibban Mill Vineyard or take a gin tour at Tarquins distillery (both five minutes away). Upgrade from a bodyboard to a surfboard at one of several surfing spots in the area. For newbies, there’s a surf school at Harlyn Bay (10 minutes) or more daring swells at Newquay (20 minutes) and Fistral Beach (30 minutes).
