  • Simple, peaceful site five minutes’ walk from a bus stop for Newquay
  • A 10-minute drive from Newquay and its golden beaches
  • Dog-friendly pop-up with valley views; pubs within 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. It’s also just a five-minute walk away from a bus stop for Newquay, which makes it a breeze for guests to get to and from sandy beaches, surfing waves and other attractions. Amenities are simple: there are loos, fresh mains water and a cold-water outdoor shower to wash off sand from the beach (it often warms up when it’s hot and sunny too). There’s no electricity, so come prepared with torches. You can have mini family adventures in the woodland at the bottom of the field, and a small river runs through the farm; exercise any dogs (and the kids) on waterside walks or choose shaded spots on the waterside for 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. There’s a railway station in Quintrell Downs (less than five minutes by car), along with a small supermarket and several pubs too.

What customers say

This peaceful, rural campsite gets top marks for views and friendly owners. Basic but clean facilities. Short walk to a pub, near Newquay. Bumpy access road, no cell service.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Stunning views
Very helpful staff always asking if we were ok
Our tent collapsed in a heavy down pour and they cleared our tent for us brought us logs and were really friendly

Disliked Be prepared for a cold outside shower I would have done but have heart problems so thought I’d stick with baby wipes lol

Recommend to friends Visit again

Great site and will stay next time I'm visiting Newquay.

Ben B. 1 review

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked Very convienient for transport links as a short walk to the train or bus.
Plenty of space and easy to access.
Whilst basic, the facilities were clean and well looked after.
Price reflects no showers or regular hot water making it budget friendly.

Disliked Observation: Site slopes gently so bring leveling ramps if staying in a van or roof tent. I was in a small tent so not an issue for me.

Local attractions

Surfers will be chuffed to realise that west-facing Fistral Beach is but 15 minutes’ drive away, with all vital amenities like gear shops and surfing schools to get pros and novices out on the waves. Backed by grass-topped dunes, National Trust - Crantock Beach (also 15 minutes' drive) has a quieter vibe but is still good for surfing and swimming. Young kids with you? Take them to Holywell Bay Beach (20 minutes) to explore the caves, dig around in rockpools and build sandcastles. They’ll all hopefully enjoy a visit to the Screech Owl Sanctuary and Animal Park (15 minutes) to handle owls, watch flying displays and feed meerkats as well. Sneak a little culture onto your sightseeing agenda with a visit to Tudor-era Trerice (five minutes), a handsome mansion with a formal Elizabethan knot garden to admire. There are walks and sculpture trails to follow at The Lost Gardens of Heligan (35 minutes), where 200 spectacular acres of Victorian plantings were restored in the 1990s.
