  • Quiet, rural, sheltered and well-maintained site on a working farm
  • Within four miles of Hayle and Marazion on the north and south coasts
  • Barbecues allowed: buy locally-sourced meat and veg within two miles
It's a truth splendidly acknowledged that any Cornwall site will be fably placed. A berth anywhere in this cracking county will have happy adventurers within easy reach of beaches, craggy coastline, watersports, the South West Coast Path, splendid old sights including tin mines and old lighthouses… and world-famed hits like the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan: you'll never have to drive over an hour and a half for the whole heap. And how nifty then is a site on the western side of Cornwall, to be handily set for both north and south beaches? Step forward, terrific Trevessa Farm, between the north coast at Hayle and the south coast at Marazion: both must-sees and both within a paltry four miles. You're so stunningly set here that you'll need to stick around for at least a few weeks (show the boss the site pics to plead your case): Trevessa is in a peaceful, scenic, rural and sheltered spot with an excellently-maintained pitching field centred around a working farm (do neigh/moo hi to the horses and cattle while here). There's easy access to the South West Coast Path from here, along with top Cornwall spots like St Ives and Sennen Cove. The site covers three-quarters of an acre, edged by a pretty footpath meandering down to the River Hayle below. It's a couple of miles from here to the nearest village, St Erth, where there's a village shop and post office, a pub and a lively Saturday morning market selling locally-grown veg, free-range eggs, homemade pies, bread, fresh fish and locally produced organic beef, pork, sausages and bacon… it's just as well that barbecues are allowed back at your smashingly scenic Cornish farm base.

What customers say

Small, peaceful site with lovely views. Owners are friendly, facilities are clean (showers hot!). Great for exploring Cornwall, though pitches can be sloped and amenities basic. Toilets/showers sometimes need more frequent cleaning when busy.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked This is most definitely the smallest site I have ever stayed at, that gave a certain quiet, unique, intimate feel that we just loved as we sat by our tent and watched out over the landscape of fields!!! Top tip, turn the tent around to face the small fence overlooking the landscape. Toilets and showers for a campsite like this are very good and always kept clean. It's a great location close to the train station. The trains to st Ives and Carbis bay are brilliant!!! You get a day ticket for £4.60 ish (I forgot) and you can go back and forth as you please. Much better than driving there!!! From a Badcock to another well done!!

Liked Very welcome and well worth the visit all super clean and very well looked after. The owner is super friendly and very helpful to your needs, welcomes you to the farm on first arrival to walk you through everything you need to know. The amenities are very clean and easy to use ever for 2 children, log burner in the yurt easy to use when needed super comfortable beds and very quiet, except the cows 🐮ha ha ha . I would highly recommend anyone to book a visit at the farm.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The view was nice

Disliked When arrived was told only had 2 hard standing when we had booked 3 as someone else had booked pitch 2, even tho the sign says you cannot book pitches, was told the 3rd caravan was to go on a gravel track, showers were unclean, pitches were very unlevel considering they are hard standing

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Very good sized pitches great views and friendly cows!

Disliked Probably that there was no urinals for the gents, with only 2 loos available (for the males) it can get quite busy Not everyone comes with a toilet facility in a small tent.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Small quiet site with clean facilities that were just what we needed. We never had to wait for the shower or the toilet even when the site was full.
There are a number of beaches in easy access on both the north and south coasts. St Ives is just down the road but getting the train from St Erth made it easy

Disliked Slight slope to the site meant things had a tendency to slide on tables

Local attractions

Well now, where does one start? At Hayle first perhaps, to access the South West Coast Path to Portreath (11.9 miles) or the other way to St Ives – six miles, followed by a bite or two in a seafood restaurant. More first-rate scrambles are around nearby West Penwith or Land's End peninsula, home to arty St Ives as well as beaches and coves so spectacularly scenic they'd nearly make you weep (as you well might, once the boss summons you back home). This is one of the most lushly scenic parts of Cornwall – yes, that's saying something – have picworthy times at world-famed Sennen Cove as well as at Lamorna Cove and Porthcurno, all within 35 minutes' drive. Weeks' worth of other options are around for day trips, like Paradise Park at Hayle (10 minutes), boat trips on the Fal from Falmouth (45 minutes) and hunting for antiques inland at Truro (50 minutes). The Eden Project is an hour and 15 minutes away.
