  • 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.

What customers say

Highly rated, family-run campsite. Owners are friendly & helpful. Guests love the stunning views, clean facilities, and convenient on-site food (popular pizza van!). Great for exploring local beaches & towns. A few note road noise, occasional facility queues, and sloped pitches.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked This is the third time we have been back here, we love it so much, it is a family run campsite, it has everything you need a little shop, ice block freezing, somewhere to charge your phone, it has a drink and breakfast wagon and evening pizza wagon, Judith is lovely, friendly and really welcoming. Atmosphere is great and everyone respects each other especially at night, the bathrooms are very clean and tidy

Harlyn bell tent

Liked Stayed in the Harlyn Bell Tent:
Comfy beds,
Plenty of space for a family of 4,
Facilities great,
Lovely and clean site,
Options of pizza and coffee and honesty shop,
Close to Padstow and Wadebridge

Recommendations:
- Saltbox restaurant and bar in Wadebridge super laid back with lots of choice!
- Location amazing for beaches…Trevone (walk down coast to left for the Tinker Bunny Bathing Pool and rock pooling) and Hawkers cove were great, along with Lusty Glaze at Newquay for more of a party vibe - check website for DJ sets 🎶
- Retallack for the surf simulator!
- Eden project less then 30 mins away

Disliked How far it is from home!! 🤣

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).
