Trevethan farm

  • Quiet, spacious site just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour
  • Walk to the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way
  • Dog-friendly and family-friendly; supermarket two minutes’ walk away
Time for a peaceful stay in Padstow? With views of the estuary and the countryside, Padstow Campsite is just over 10 minutes’ walk from Padstow harbour and the ferry to Rock. Good news for the keen walkers among you, there are plenty of trails within walking distance too, including the South West Coast Path, the Camel Trail and the Saints’ Way. The spacious grass pitches at this family-run, pop-up site are based on Trevethan Farm in a prominent position in Padstow. The pitches have access to showers and toilets, and they’re also dog-friendly and family-friendly. For those hoping to leave their car in one spot, the farm is within walking distance of local bus routes to destinations like Wadebridge, Newquay and Bodmin. There’s also Padstow right at your fingertips, of course, where it’s possible to get stuck into sailing, watersports, sea safaris, speedboat trips, fishing and cycling on the Camel Trail. If you’re craving a beach day, the site is a short drive from a handful of local beaches, including Trevone Bay five minutes’ drive away and Harlyn Bay beach 10 minutes’ drive away. If you’re ever in need of sunset snacks, breakfast cereals or other essentials, a large supermarket is a couple of minutes' walk away from Padstow Campsite.

What customers say

This campsite receives widespread praise for its excellent location, offering stunning views and a short, convenient walk to Padstow. Visitors consistently highlight the exceptional cleanliness of the facilities, particularly the toilets and showers, and commend the friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention limited facilities like dishwashing sinks and a lack of electric hook-up, alongside some sloping pitches. Overall, it's considered a highly recommended, well-maintained site.

Gareth T.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked Everything
Immaculate, spotlessly clean facilities which were cleaned several times a day. There are 4 toilets and 3 hot showers which is ample for a site of this size (did not have to queue at all).
Staff friendly and helpful with a wealth of local knowledge.
A short walk downhill to Padstow.
No extra charge for the dogs, which is always a bonus.
Needed to be off pitch by 11 am but owners are happy for you to move to the parking area until later.
Highly recommended, we'll be back.

Very clean site with excellent facilities!
Convenient for Padstow and so close to a supermarket, but not overlooked at all. You wouldn't know you weren't miles from anywhere... until you need an extra bottle of wine!

Nice Hot Showers

Disliked Unfortunately a family with 3 young children set up camp next to us around 9pm and were making lots and lots of noise until 12am with the parents not caring the whole campsite was quiet/sleeping. Not the sites fault but impacted our stay.

I also forgot to book a site with power and there wasn’t an option to add this. Again, not the sites fault but a nice to have.
