Trevethan farm

  • Quiet, spacious site just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour
  • Walk to the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way
  • Dog-friendly and family-friendly; supermarket two minutes’ walk away
Time for a peaceful stay in Padstow? With views of the estuary and the countryside, Padstow Campsite is just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour and the ferry to Rock. Good news for the keen walkers among you, there are plenty of trails within walking distance too, including the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way. The spacious grass pitches at this family-run, pop-up site are based on Trevethan Farm in a prominent position in Padstow. The pitches have access to showers and toilets, and they’re also dog-friendly and family-friendly. For those hoping to leave their car in one spot, the farm is within walking distance of local bus routes to destinations like Wadebridge, Newquay and Bodmin. There’s also Padstow right at your fingertips, of course, where it’s possible to get stuck into sailing, watersports, sea safaris, speedboat trips, fishing and cycling on the Camel Trail. If you’re craving a beach day, the site is a short drive from a handful of local beaches, including Trevone Bay five minutes’ drive away and Harlyn Bay beach 10 minutes’ drive away. If you’re ever in need of sunset snacks, breakfast cereals or other essentials, a large supermarket is a couple of minutes' walk away from Padstow Campsite.

What customers say

Fantastic location near Padstow with amazing views. Super clean toilets & showers, and the staff are brilliant. A few mention limited dishwashing & no electric hook-ups, plus some sloped pitches. Highly recommended, well-kept site.

Nicola S.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely campsite in a great spot with gorgeous views and an easy walk into Padstow. Jessica gave us such a warm welcome and made sure we had the best pitch. Toilets and showers were cleaned regularly, always spotless!! Tesco next door was super handy, and we loved being able to have BBQs and campfires! Friendly, chilled and can’t wait to come back!

Disliked Leaving!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very friendly and welcoming staff. They were always available if we needed them. The facilities were kept clean.

The site had a relaxed atmosphere. We were able to choose from a couple of spots to pitch up. Generous size pitches. Safe for the children and dog friendly. Amazing view.

Tesco a few minutes walk from site. 10 minute walk down into Padstow.

Dog friendly beaches about 10/15 mins drive.

Disliked Nothing.
