  • Peaceful seaview site on the north Cornwall coast
  • Direct access to the South West Coast Path
  • Beach nearby; surfing and watersports 20 minutes by car
Seeking sea views, clifftop paths, cracking good Cornish pubs and surf beaches? Take a look at Caradoc of Tregardock, on the north Cornwall coast surrounded by miles of coastline, historic seaside villages, moors, river valleys, stately homes and visitor attractions. Accessed by a narrow lane with no through traffic, and right on the edge of the land overlooking the Atlantic, the site sits alongside a remote section of the South West Coast Path, linking this fab property to Port Gaverne's pubs, restaurants and speciality shops 10 minutes' drive away and to the 14th-century fishing village of Port Isaac and medieval Boscastle, 15 minutes away. Take the footpath from the site through meadows of wildflowers and flocks of sheep down the hill for strolls, paddles, swims and rockpooling on the secluded beach; beaches further afield include Trebarwith Strand, Polzeath, Daymer Bay and Rock, all within around 20 minutes' drive. Amenities include a hot shower, a washbasin and a toilet. It's recommended that you bring a torch for dark evenings and walking boots or wellies in case of wet weather.

This site is praised for its peaceful, quiet atmosphere with stunning sea views. Facilities are clean, and pods are well-equipped. Some found toilets distant; pods could use chairs/tables. Highly recommended for privacy and natural beauty.

Liked Really peaceful campsite with a great view on the sunset by the sea equipped with cabins.
Toilets and shower are minimal but functional.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
I am surprised that you found we aren't good value for money as £40 pounds per night is the lowest we can possibly go before we'd be operating at a loss. Even parking a car in Cornwall costs about a third of what we charge for an overnight camping pod. Most campsites charge £35 to erect your own two man tent for the night.

Your booking came in very late in the day 18:45 and arrived within the hour so we didn't have the opportunity to send you all the arrival information so as you can easily find pod. Luckily we had a friend staying who helped you.
Of course the facilities will have been used by the other pod users during the day and evening so they won't have serviced specifically for your arrival. Your pod however will have been properly serviced.
Your overall score for a camping pod is low too, I wonder if you are used to the structure of a hotel and not that of a micro-campsite?

Great stay, good location, really enjoyed Thank you

Local attractions

Experienced surfers as well as those who want to learn have plenty to pick from on this coastal stretch, as it's around 20 minutes' drive to Trebarwith and Polzeath and 40 minutes to the surf schools at Harlyn Bay. If you prefer getting round on wheels to waves, it's 40 minutes' drive to Padstow for bike hire and the start of the 17-mile Camel Trail, a former railway line passing through some of north Cornwall's most impressive scenery. Travellers on foot are also welcome on the trail, while all 630 miles of the South West Coast Path can be accessed directly from the site. For those who prefer mooching to a route marching coastal spots like Port Isaac and Tintagel are 15 minutes from the site, the latter home to a castle with a whiff of Arthurian myth, as well as a brewery with tours and tastings. Folk who fancy poking round some more recently occupied palatial piles should aim for the grand National Trust houses and gardens of Pencarrow and Lanhydrock 25 and 40 minutes' drive away. You're also handily placed to reach some of south-west England's big name attractions from here: it's about 45 minutes to the tropical biospheres of the Eden Project and an hour to The Lost Gardens of Heligan, now happily re-found.
