Tregella Place Camping

A aimé : Location is good as it was only 30 mins walk into town across fields.

N'a pas aimé: Showers lukewarm at best. Awful push button ones.

Very noisy on arrival thanks to a group of lads having a loud party in the middle. They left around 9.30pm and didn't return. Next day was empty and dikeng.

No reception as such. Just turn up and pitch.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hello I’m sorry you had this experience and it must have been quite frightening for you. We are a small family run site and that day happened to be my partner’s birthday, so we had gone out 5-7 for dinner.
As soon as we got back we were told about this behaviour (not by you though?) upon learning this we asked them to leave.
Sometimes situations occur and I am pleased that we were able to deal with it as soon as it was brought to our attention. There is a large sign with my phone number, which had you have rang it could have been dealt with sooner.
Larger, more corporate sites have a security team and are permanently staffed but it’s not something we are looking to do as we feel our customers enjoy how laid back the site is and that we can offer a new toilet and shower block with bar area, for just £20

A aimé : Toilet facilities were very clean and modern.

It was a relatively cheap campsite near some attractions.

Quiet at night and lovely views

N'a pas aimé: *no greeting and no directions on where to go to book in on arrival.
* food and bar were closed despite it being early September
*fields pretty uneven you will need chucks
*dogs allowed to roam there were 4 dogs spotted off lead in the one evening and morning we were there with no consequences or even supervision from site managers.
*site was a bit messy some rubbish from other guests didn't seem to be anyone around who checked / cleaned the grounds.

A aimé : The site had an excellent toilet and shower block which seemed to be less than a year old, with everything clean and working. There were power sockets outside the block which could be used to charge mobile phones.
There was a pleasant view of rolling hills and farmland with sheep and a church tower in the distance.
The site was quiet at night and mostly quiet during the day.
My pitch was pretty much level.
There was a Tesco about 1 mile away which was very handy. There is also a cafe built into a garden centre in the other direction on the "A" road, although I never used it.
It is a 2-mile drive into Padstow on the "A" road and it's also possible to cycle there and back on cycle-friendly back-roads (although it's very hilly on the way back). I would not recommend cycling back on the "A" road as it is too busy.
You can walk on the coast-path from Padstow or take the ferry to Rock and walk the coast-path to Polzeath.
There are attractive coves/ beaches nearby.

N'a pas aimé: There is no reception sign-posted, so I didn't know where to check in when I arrived which was confusing. Fortunately a member of staff greeted me soon after I arrived and said I could pitch anywhere.
No Wi-fi that I was aware of (could be taken as a plus!)

A aimé : Fabulous stay. We were warmly welcomed by Lucy and her Mum. Both were very friendly, thoughtful and cared about making sure we had the best stay possible. Mum was very kind and walked me back from the toilet block with her torch as it was dark. The toilet block is modern and cleaned regularly during each day. I recommend staying here.

A aimé : It was just after the school summer holidays so was quiet. The shower/toilet block was nice and clean.

N'a pas aimé: If you're going to use the men's showers don't use the middle one as it only runs for about 5 seconds before you have to press it again, and again, and again. And I'm guessing as it was after the school hoildays that is why the bar (in the bus) and the food trailer wasn't open, which was quite the selling point of the campsite, which was disappointing. Walking to Padstow is ok, although you have to go down a small lane (wouldn't want to do it at night).

Réponse du gestionnaire : If you want to use the bar and catering you need to come during busier times. There were 4 people on site and it was a Wednesday. We are a family run site and do have children, we use mid week September to spend time with them as the cost of opening would outweigh any possible sales. The opening times are clearly stated in the text you are sent, on social media and on the pitch up site says during peak times. A more built up site would be able to open the bar at a loss as they charge more money for the stay.

A aimé : Nice and relaxed campsite. You basically camp where you like. The live music was good and lots of people were singing along. The bus bar is a nice touch.

The shower and toilet block is modern and kept clean.

N'a pas aimé: There are some long stay caravans set up at the bottom of the field and one night there was a lot of noise coming from one of them. Sounded like a party.

The washing up area is tiny and needs to be enlarged. There isn’t much room in the shower to dry and get dressed after the shower and the floor was wet.

A aimé : Good pitch, nice grass, nice toilets, friendly staff and really cool show at night, they had an oasis lookalike and served drinks on tap inside a bus!!! Very cool and I was very impressed as were my two mates :)

N'a pas aimé: Could’ve been a bit flatter for the tent pitches but it wasn’t too bad

A aimé : Lovely campsite , with friendly staff and good size pitch. Great facilities

N'a pas aimé: Bit cut off. Everything was road related

A aimé : Really enjoyed the whole weekend! Easy to pitch up and enough space between each party, very spacious. Toilet block was lovely and clean and looked new which is a bonus; showers were nice and warm too! Breakfast van was fab and the evening entertainment wasn’t bad either!

N'a pas aimé: The only thing to be mentioned that is super picky was the push buttons on the showers only lasting 30 seconds each time but I also understand this helps save water
