  • Simple, family-run pop-up camping with views over the Camel estuary
  • A 15-minute drive to Padstow and 30 minutes to surfing beaches
  • Grass pitches near shops, pubs, restaurants and Camel Trail hiking
Higher Tregone Campsite is a pop-up site with a truly spectacular location overlooking north Cornwall’s Camel estuary. Set in a peaceful field on a fourth-generation family farm, you’ll find yourselves watching the ever-changing views of the river, with the busy harbour of Padstow and the gorgeous sandy beaches of Rock and Porthilly in the distance. As this is strictly wild camping, basic facilities include portable toilets and cold running mains water. Barbecues are allowed on site, and you’ll have to bring all the gear from home, but there’s a big supermarket for sourcing supplies near Wadebridge (10 minutes’ drive), and plenty of restaurants and takeaways there too. Out and about in all those winding Cornish lanes, you’ll also find plenty of cute pubs to keep you from starving. Of course, there’s some very fine dining along the estuary in Padstow (15 minutes) and in trendy Rock (25 minutes, or you can get the foot ferry across from Padstow). But back to all that fresh Cornish air. There’s direct access to the Camel Trail from the site, following a disused railway line and brilliant for family hikes or cycle rides. There's plenty of choice when it comes to beaches too – family-friendly Harlyn Bay (25 minutes' drive) is a favourite, as are Polzeath and Daymer Bay on the other side of the Camel estuary.
