Treveague Campsite

Treveague is near the spectacular Roseland peninsula, with beaches, child-safe bathing and hidden coves all around, as well as a good handful of historical houses, green gardens and quick access to the Eden Project, about 10 miles away. Go in one direction from Treveague Campsite to reach the family-friendly beach at Gorran Haven and the fish and chip shop, restaurant and pub at the village, and in the other for the rockpools of more secluded Hemmick beach and the long peaceful stretch and good fishing of the beach at Vault (the far end of Vault is naturist). As it’s the south coast, waters here are generally calm and not used for surfing, but sailing, fishing, boat hire and kayaking are available from Mevagissey. Further along the coastline, make time for another National Trust site, the tidal island of St Michael’s Mount just off the coast at Mount's Bay and one the county’s islands that can be walked to from the mainland at low tide: impress people with that factoid back home while you show them the pics.
