  • An adults-only site with scenic views and good transport connections
  • A 20-minute drive to Truro and 15 to Cornwall’s north coast beaches
  • Shop and dog-walking field on site; pub and bakery a 20-minute walk
Peace, quiet and not a child in sight… welcome to adults-only Chacewater Park in Cornwall, set in 11 acres of neatly kept tree- and hedgerow-lined grounds to make up a green and serene site. This is a preferred spot of many a dog owner and nature fan too, with a separate five-acre field that's home to rabbits and wildflowers. For human-centred entertainment, amble over to the local village, a 20-minute walk away, to sip pints in the pub, have a go at bowls or take part in one of the monthly quizzes. Both Truro and National Trust’s Trelissick Gardens are within 20 minutes' drive: time your visit to the latter just right to take in a traditional cream tea too… Back at the park, amenities include two separate shower blocks with shaving points and hairdryers, as well as two laundry areas. Fancy resting with a novel? Swap your last pageturner for your next at the book exchange and settle on the grass for a read. For all-essential eats, a bakery, chippy and convenience shop are close by, and supermarkets are less than 10 minutes' drive away in Redruth for a bigger stock-up.

Upper Meadow Hay electric hardstanding touring caravan pitch (pet friendly)

Liked: Having stayed at this site last year, we decided to book again for a second year. It was really lovely, peaceful and quiet. The owner greeted us as we arrived at the entrance and showed us directly to our pitch. We were set up in no time. It’s a lovely site , central to most attractions in Cornwall. I would definitely recommend this site for people that would like a peaceful break at very reasonable prices. We will definitely come back in the future.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike

From the manager: Thankyou for your review! Hope you had a lovely time here and hope to see you again!

Upper Meadow fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (pet friendly)

Liked: This site is lovely, quiet and calm, with a fantastic dog walking field. You wouldn't have really known how many dogs were here as they all seemed relatively well behaved. Ie no dogs barking all night long. We stayed for 3 nights. Toilets and shower room clean and tidy. We had upper hard standing pitch and it has plenty of room. Supermarkets nearby and we enjoyed a day out at lappa valley railway too. Highly recommend this adult only site.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Liked: We had a lovely spacious pitch with good views (not overlooking a neighbouring pitch). The site was well kept and the cleanliness of the shared facilities was good. Again the dog walking field was well attended and staff were friendly and helpful. We had a good stay.

Upper Meadow Hay electric hardstanding touring pitch (pet friendly)

Liked: The Quietness of the campsite. The 6 acre field to let the pooch run around was brilliant, Doggo loved it.

Disliked: having to put the Van Awning on the hardcore, will need to invest in a Pneumatic hammer to put in the tent pegs.

Local attractions

Circled by farmland in the centre of west Cornwall, Chacewater Park is in the middle of England’s UNESCO-listed tin mining lands. If you’re coming to this Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape region by public transport, you can easily catch one of the regular bus services from Truro, Redruth, Penzance or St Ives. Driving? The park’s minutes from the A30, meaning the sandy, cliff-backed beaches on the county's north coast, like Portreath, Saint Agnes and Porthtowan, are reachable in no more than 15 minutes. Up for walking? Join the Mineral Tramways Coast to Coast Trail, running from Portreath to Devoran on the south coast, and follow in the footsteps of horse-drawn trams from days gone by. Low-key wanders can be had at Tehidy Country Park, a 15-minute drive to the north, in 250 acres of woodland and lakes with nine miles of trails. To up the pace a little, you can get in a round of golf on the course under 15 minutes' drive away – or ask the site’s friendly staff to help you organise a boat ride on the River Fal.
