Trelay Campsite

Liked Calm, quiet, lots of space. Well organised as an add on to the farm and community that are already there. Smoothly run with hot showers, and a little common room/kitchen with fridge-freezer, sink, kettle and washing machine with plenty of charging ports for phones but all powered by solar panels on the barn roof so eco-friendly and very low key.

Disliked Nothin really. The swings had to be taken down when we were there which was a shame for the kids, but they were worn out and getting too rickety. A positive really as we didn’t see much of the staff/owners other than this. They were there but not intrusive. Clearly on the ball about safety and the place was clean and tidy, bins emptied etc but otherwise we saw no management which was nice to be left to it. Number available to ring of we needed anything.

Liked Very quiet and relaxing site. Children had space to play and make friends, but the pitches themselves felt quite private. Particularly appreciated the utility room with mod cons.
Had a lovely encounter with the camp hedgehog.
Would definitely recommend!

Disliked No real view. No WiFi.

Liked Beautiful site, small and friendly. The swifts, swallows and house martins were a particular highlight.

Liked Superb campsite with a touch of quirkiness. Your own little glade of beauty with added birdsong, campfires and solar powered showers.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. We do market ourselves as an Eco campsite and are focused more on a wild camping experience (with the luxury of flushing loos and hot showers!). Whilst we don't have plans to add electricity to our pitches, you probably noticed that we do offer charging points to charge small devices and battery packs, along with a fridge and freezer for campers to use :-)
We don't currently offer WiFi but are hoping to have that up and running in some areas for next season if possible. We do take all feedback on board!

Liked Loved the pitch and area

Disliked The bathroom facilities, no where to dry as everything is wet when you shower. Needs an extra sink for washing hands and tooth brushing, there was a line waiting to use the sink.

From the manager: Hi Odette, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have taken your feedback on board and plan to add additional hand wash basins for next season. I'm so glad to hear you loved the site and the pitch, we hope to see you again.

Liked Great facilities in the camp site. I enjoyed the stay more than I expected. Nice and friendly environment for kids in any age. There was lots to explore around so you won't get bored. 🤗

Disliked Nothing

Liked Lovely campsite, really relaxed atmosphere. We've had a great stay and the kids have loved every minute. The kitchen facilities (kettle/microwave/fridge) are a lovely touch and make life that bit easier. Toilets were always spotless and the owners were always around if there had been any issues. Location is fab for exploring the beautiful beaches nearby. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a back to nature, back to basics escape.

Liked The campsite was a small set up and we were part of a field viewing row of 3 pitches. Although it was very windy and exposed the tent stayed strong throughout. 2 friendly and approachable staff members came for a chat and to check everything was well. Big bonus for us was that campfires were allowed and firepits provided for us.
Facilities included freezer for freezer blocks, warm solar showers and a kettle and microwave (these came in as handy time savers as boiling water on our single gas camping stove can be time consuming!).

Overall a great site.

From the manager: Thanks Anne for the lovely review - so glad you enjoyed your stay and the tent stayed strong in the gusts! Our main area is much more sheltered but as you probably noticed, we were fully booked. Best of luck to your husband and friend with completing the coastal path - what a feat! We hope to see you again.

Liked I stayed one night at Trelay and was very pleased with this stop . The pitch was clearly set out amidst a rewilded field with picnic tables and play area for children , and the day room with kettle and fridges help without electric hookup. The showers and washroom were great , clean and plenty of them, and nice to to know it is solar! I was with other campers and residents who were friendly and I liked the feel and location very near great beach Crackington Haven with its pub where I swam and had a meal. There was good info and signs for independent finding ones way. I stayed only one night as I was headed further on into Cornwall but would have been happy to stay on! It had really nice feel!
