Top spot! Clean, well-kept, with spacious, private pitches. Friendly staff, great facilities (showers!), and beautiful views. Some say minor noise/light timer quirks, but perfect for exploring Cornwall.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked We love the fact that there are only 24 pitches, each one separated by hedges. The space in the middle is great for the kids to have a play around and get away from their screens. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This was our 2nd visit and we would be back again next year.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your lovely review! I hope your boys enjoyed the walk to the beach through the woods! It was a pleasure having you back on site again and I loved our chat! Sending you all the best as you round out your year!

David B.

Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This campsite is just a few miles from home, but we chose it as a little getaway spot for the evening — and it was perfect for exactly that.

Tucked away down a quiet lane, away from the main road, the site feels wonderfully remote and peaceful. The pitches are spacious, easily fitting our car, gazebo, and two four-person tents without feeling cramped.

The hosts were warm and welcoming, and the whole site had a clean, well-kept feel to it. It was quiet and relaxing, yet very family-friendly, with a small football pitch in the middle that kept the kids entertained. (It could have been divided into extra pitches, but I liked that it was left for play instead.)

Facilities were well thought-out. There were two sinks for washing up, complete with scourers and washing-up liquid provided — a thoughtful touch. Toilets and showers were also spotless and well maintained.

Overall, it was a simple, peaceful, and family-friendly spot that ticked all the boxes for a short escape close to home.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much David for such a thorough review and of course your custom. We have had such great support from local families this year which we really appreciate. We know ourselves, that you don't have to travel far to feel like you are holiday and its often the accumulation of simple things that add up to a lovely felt sense when camping.
Wishing you all the best for the rest of your year!

Lian K.

Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We had a lovely stay at Hillcrest Views. The site is really well kept, with plenty of space and beautiful views across the countryside. The facilities were spotless and made everything easy and comfortable. The owners were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even nicer. It’s in a great location too – peaceful and quiet, but still close to the coast and local shops. A great spot for a relaxing break in Cornwall.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks Lian. So pleased you guys enjoyed your stay with us and the simplicity of what we have to offer. Your custom and review are very much appreciated and it was a pleasure meeting you both. We wish you all the best with the rest of your year.

Allan W.

Fully-serviced grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Hillcrest Views Campsite. The location is absolutely ideal—peaceful, scenic, and perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding area. It offers a real sense of escape while still being conveniently accessible.
The pitches were generously sized, providing plenty of space and privacy, which made setting up and relaxing incredibly easy. Whether you're in a tent, caravan, or motorhome, there's ample room to settle in comfortably.
Facilities on-site were excellent—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Everything we needed was readily available, and it’s clear that the site is managed with care and attention to detail.
Overall, Hillcrest Views strikes a perfect balance between comfort and nature. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality camping experience in a beautiful setting.

Disliked No dislikes.

From the manager: Wow Allan, thank you so much for your very kind reflections. Beautifully put (you can write the campsites next bio for me)! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay not only on site but our local area. There are many beautiful places to visit in this country and we are very lucky to be one of them. We really appreciate your custom and wish you all the very best for the rest of your summer and 2025!

Mike H.

Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Fabulous location with easy access to Portreath/Godrevy and other locations in West Cornwall.
The site isn't sign posted but directions were detailed and spot on - a good welcome on arrival.
A great balance of sheltered pitches but open site, giving far reaching views.
Basic facilities but cleaned regularly. Family appreciated the double showers and the provision of detergent at washing sinks was a nice touch.
I like to move around, see different things but will certainly return.

From the manager: Thank you so much Mike for your custom and your comprehensive review. We are really pleased you have enjoyed the simplicity of what we have to offer and the surrounding area. We do have a freezer available for use upon request as its currently in our office barn at the moment until we finish the new walkway. I'm sorry this information didn't reach you but thank you for the feedback as I can address this. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your summer and year!

Route directions

Coming from Redruth, enter Illogan coming up a large hill. At the brow of the hill you will see two chapels opposite one another. Take it slowly here, as the site is 50 yards further on, on the right-hand side opposite a little crossroad sign for Richards Lane. Look out for a concrete lane with central grass verge between two white cottages; this leads up to the site.

Local attractions

Beach time! It’ll take you 45 minutes or so to walk to the sands and rockpools of Portreath beach (or 10 minutes to drive), or 15 minutes to drive to Gwithian beach for sand dunes and surfing. If you like your watersports to be lake-based, there’s plenty to keep you busy at Stithians Lake, 20 minutes away, including fishing, canoeing and windsurfing. Away from the water, there’s a golf course and a network of walking and bike trails 10 minutes away at Tehidy Country Park, and historic wandering at the Heartlands mining-themed attraction (10 minutes’ drive) and Carn Brea Castle (15 minutes). Bouncy kids need somewhere to expend some energy? Off to the Jump4 trampoline park (10 minutes’ drive) with you.
