  • Rural site in a quiet grassland setting, a 10-minute drive to Padstow
  • Under 10 minutes' drive from the beaches of Harlyn and Trevone
  • On-site bar, live music at the weekend and street food in high season
Craving a quiet Cornish countryside retreat? Sort a trip to Tregella Place Camping and peacefulness plus lovely farmland views will be yours for the taking. This park is a rural spot but it’s also close enough to the necessities you need for a satisfying stay: a chicken farm is a short stroll away to pick up fresh eggs, and a supermarket and a pub serving food are less than five minutes’ drive away. For foodies, this area is a top choice as Padstow (10 minutes’ drive) is a gastronomic hotspot with eateries helmed by chef Rick Stein, along with other highly rated restaurants, coffee shops and bars. If you really want to earn your dinner, get yourselves there on foot: the walk takes you through the cornfields and starts at the top of the lane. But there’s no real need to leave the site if you’re after evening entertainment; there’s a bar (in a converted bus, no less) serving Cornish beers and ciders, plus a packed schedule of live music at the weekend. In high summer, feed the family from the pop-up street kitchen and eat together at the communal picnic area. Thoroughly pristine facilities include a bricks-and-mortar shower block with family-size showers complete with changing areas, electric points for charging devices and hairdryers, and a washing-up area. You can wander directly on to the South West Coast Path from the park, and for adventures on two wheels, the Camel Trail cycle path is nearby as well.

What customers say

Great atmosphere, spacious sites, and dog-friendly. Modern restrooms & showers. Handy for Padstow & beaches. Food truck & bar popular, as is weekend entertainment. Minor notes: occasional noise, shower button timing, wash-up area layout.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Great site! We found this one by chance and it has everything you need, perfect for tents or vans - great toilets and shower block, with washing up bay and freezer to keep things cold!

Drinking water taps right outside and the staff of the site, super friendly and helpful. Everything was well stocked and super clean...It's only a 4 minute drive to the centre of Padstow and we enjoyed taking the dog to the beach and walking around the town, perfect little getaway!

The bus opening for drinks and a food van right next to it was a great touch, a lovely place to sit and relax when the sun got too much as thats the only place with shade but plenty of seating for everyone.

Would highly recommend this site, especially if you have dogs - never been anywhere so relaxed about dogs and everywhere in Padstow accepts dogs so it was no issue walking around and being able to enjoy everything

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Perfect pitch. Owners are very friendly, helpful and never seem ro stop. We were there on the bank holiday weekend so it was very busy but such a good vibe! With food and live music in the evening.
All facilities were cleaned regularly. The food served from the van is sooo good and the Beer Bus was a added bonus!!
We will definitely be returning

Disliked Perfect nothing to dislike

Local attractions

There are many pursuits to ponder in the Padstow area, so fingers crossed you have plenty of time on your hands during a trip here. The beaches should be your first place to explore – after getting a glimpse at the closest sandy spots, like Harlyn and Trevone (under 10 minutes’ drive), set off for the scenic Bedruthan Steps (15 minutes). Here for the waves? Hire boards in Padstow (10 minutes) and head for Harlyn (10 minutes) or drive to Newquay (half an hour) and check out the UK’s biggest surf scene. This town also has masses to keep kids occupied, including beaches, a zoo and aquarium. If you need more nipper-friendly places to visit, Camel Creek Adventure Park (10 minutes) is close by and has theme park rides to keep pint-sized thrill-seekers engaged. When travelling child-free, put Prideaux Place (five minutes) on the itinerary – this Elizabethan manor is easy on the eye and also has stunning views out across Padstow’s historic harbour. After having a good nose around the house and grounds, keep the grown-up shenanigans going with a visit to the Trevibban Mill Vineyard (10 minutes), which organises tours and tastings.
