  • 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.

Liked Great budget friendly place to stay, This was a last minute get away for us and everything was super easy.
Incredibly friendly owner and staff, greeted us quickly and with a smile, even suggested where the best place to pitch up for watching the sunset. When we couldn't find logs from the local shops, they gave us the option to buy some from the site.
Even though you're unable to walk to the local pub you can have a drink on the site, buy a pint at the bus and look out over the hills and fields. no traffic noise, just nature.
The toilet / shower block is new and very clean!
You also have full phone signal even at the bottom of the hill.

A really lovely site.…

Liked Location and price.
Received a lovely text on the morning of arrival. See disliked for the rest of the story.

Disliked Facilities were not well maintained. Not cleaned regularly. Floor was always wet.
We called the number when we arrived as the sign and text requested. No answer, we waited 15 mins to see if anyone would call us back but nothing so decided to find a pitch. Not really an issue, thought it would be nice to check in.
There was live music on both evenings, on the Sunday evening it was clear that the entertainment was primarily for the staff/managers/owners friends birthday.
We were washing up after dinner and a lady approached us to ask if we would be going that evening. We had no ideas who she was. She the. Stated to a near by man. I will quickly check the toilets. She was gone about 2 mins and reappears with a small peddle bin from the gents. This had been full since we arrived.
I checked once she went back to the festivities and the floor was still wet and the toilet paper had not been filled up. Not quite sure what she was checking for.
Nice little site, the area for music etc was nice, it just felt like you weren’t really welcome as there were a lot of the staff etc friend arriving for the birthday evening.
We packed up in the morning and left with no issues.

I believe that when you are serving Alcohol (from the double decker bus) it would be nice to identify who was actually in charge of the venue, just in case of any disturbances etc.

Would be easy to improve on issues at this venue. It really depends on the owners. Will they read this as it is meant ( constructive criticism or will they see it as complaining and ignore it.

From the manager: Hello that wasn’t a birthday party, it was one of the campers birthday and the singer wanted everyone to sing to them. It was a nice unifying moment for the people attending the event. It was raining all day so naturally the floors do get wet, we provide the equipment to clear your muddy water off after you. If there are lots of people in the toilet I simply check there is soap and toilet paper, then clean it down when it’s empty.

Everything!!! Yet again a fantastic long weekend break at Tregella Place. Thank…

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.
