  • Quiet, spacious site just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour
  • Walk to the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way
  • Dog-friendly and family-friendly; supermarket two minutes’ walk away
Time for a peaceful stay in Padstow? With views of the estuary and the countryside, Padstow Campsite is just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour and the ferry to Rock. Good news for the keen walkers among you, there are plenty of trails within walking distance too, including the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way. The spacious grass pitches at this family-run, pop-up site are based on Trevethan Farm in a prominent position in Padstow. The pitches have access to showers and toilets, and they’re also dog-friendly and family-friendly. For those hoping to leave their car in one spot, the farm is within walking distance of local bus routes to destinations like Wadebridge, Newquay and Bodmin. There’s also Padstow right at your fingertips, of course, where it’s possible to get stuck into sailing, watersports, sea safaris, speedboat trips, fishing and cycling on the Camel Trail. If you’re craving a beach day, the site is a short drive from a handful of local beaches, including Trevone Bay five minutes’ drive away and Harlyn Bay beach 10 minutes’ drive away. If you’re ever in need of sunset snacks, breakfast cereals or other essentials, a large supermarket is a couple of minutes' walk away from Padstow Campsite.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: The campsite had plenty of space, with a nice view across the hills & river, and not too busy so easy to find a spot. Both toilet and shower facilities were adequate for the site and kept well cleaned. The walk into Padstow is pretty quick and easy and the site is right next to Tesco if in need of any supplies. Definitely would pitch up here again when we next stop off in Padstow!

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Incredibly welcoming host, Jessica. She moved some arrivals that were blocking our view. Nice view from the field to the estuary. Good to have a Tesco close by to stock up. Toilets and shower were cleaned constantly and immaculate.

Disliked: Only one shower for the whole campsite.
