  • Cornish estate set around a 17th-century mansion
  • A 36-acre woodland and garden setting 15 minutes' drive from Newquay
  • Shop, games barns, library and large field for ball games on site
Set between Padstow and Newquay, and 15 minutes' drive away from each, Trewan Hall Camping Site should be a lovely little place for a Mid Cornwall break. The site has been developed on an old Cornish estate around the 17th-century mansion of Trewan Hall, and carefully maintained with traditional building techniques to blend in with its 36-acre woodland and garden surroundings. And speaking of gardens, they’re lush – have a look at the site pics… For families, the Hill family has added all sorts of little touches. During the high season only, there's a 25-metre outdoor swimming pool open from 10am to 6pm. Evening entertainment is also on throughout July. Available at all times is a large field for ball games in front of the Hall, a wooden playground and a library and writing room. Barns have also been set aside for table tennis, with an additional barn housing a pool table set for teenagers and adults. When it's time to sit down with a snack of some kind, head to the fully-stocked shop, which is open nearly 14 hours per day in high season (with shorter hours in low season). There are two different areas to pick a pitch from at Trewan Hall Camping Site: one aimed at families near the play park, shop and barns, and the other more secluded in a bigger field – in both, you can pitch up where you like to have plenty of room, with the owners managing bookings so that there are always more pitches than people and what’s on offer never feels overcrowded.

What customers say

Great campsite, immaculate facilities (showers a highlight!), friendly staff, well-stocked shop & pool. Spacious pitches, peaceful vibe. Some wanted more showers during busy spells; a few pool debris mentions. Handy spot for local sights.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Great facilities, plenty of space, lovely staff, great for the dog too!

Disliked Arrival instructions not really adequate, signage for the site is terrible, and it’s not obvious what to do or where to go at all. Every entrance is marked as private, so you’re not sure if you’re supposed to go in or not.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Had a fabulous time at Trewan Hall. As our kids are getting older (14, 14, 12, 9) we wanted a site with plenty of options but not a holiday park! Trewan Hall is perfect.

Lovely space with lots to do for the kids, with the swimming pool a big winner in the day, and all the children seemed to join in games of manhunt in the evenings.

We took our dog, who had a great time. Whilst she was on lead while on the site, there is a small woodland area where we could let her off for a run around.

The staff are particularly pleasant and I was very impressed with the younger (teenage) staff, who were polite, responsive, knowledgable, and eager to help.

The shop is small but well stocked with food, drinks, kids toys and games, and plenty of camping essentials also - as well as fresh pastries and pasties.

The evening entertainment was always good quality and a good variety, we had sea shanties and synth pop - we missed the Rock night.

We’ll certainly be returning next year.

Liked The surroundings were beautiful,, facilities although limited we always clean and they also had a bath available which was nice .. the shop provides everything you might need at short notice . A little pricier than a shop but incline with what you would expect.. they also provided pastries which were fresh everyday. Nice touch!.

Disliked Could get a bit windy in places but that can’t be helped when you camp in open fields.. also a bit of a lack of rubbish bins when you consider the size of the place

Local attractions

Trewan Hall is near the centre of Cornwall with easy access to the north coast beaches and within easy driving distance of most of Cornwall’s attractions. For a short stroll, head into the old market town of St Columb Major (five minutes' drive), where there’s a 15th-century church, surf store, antique shop and fish and chip shops. The closest beach to Trewan Hall is Mawgan Porth (10 minutes). Gorgeous Watergate Bay is 10 minutes’ drive away, or head to the seven bays clustered around the village of St Merryn (15 minutes), a few miles from Padstow. Two top Cornwall spots within 10 miles are Newquay (15 minutes), where you should wriggle into your wetsuit for some stunning surfing (surf schools are all over town and nearby for the uninitiated), and Padstow (15 minutes) for the Camel Trail and Camel Estuary Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Zipwires, biodomes and more can be had at the Eden Project (25 minutes).
