Liked We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Hillcrest Views Campsite. The location is absolutely ideal—peaceful, scenic, and perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding area. It offers a real sense of escape while still being conveniently accessible.
The pitches were generously sized, providing plenty of space and privacy, which made setting up and relaxing incredibly easy. Whether you're in a tent, caravan, or motorhome, there's ample room to settle in comfortably.
Facilities on-site were excellent—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Everything we needed was readily available, and it’s clear that the site is managed with care and attention to detail.
Overall, Hillcrest Views strikes a perfect balance between comfort and nature. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality camping experience in a beautiful setting.

Good location, clean facilities, good size sheltered pitches
Electric optional grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Fabulous location with easy access to Portreath/Godrevy and other locations in West Cornwall.
The site isn't sign posted but directions were detailed and spot on - a good welcome on arrival.
A great balance of sheltered pitches but open site, giving far reaching views.
Basic facilities but cleaned regularly. Family appreciated the double showers and the provision of detergent at washing sinks was a nice touch.
I like to move around, see different things but will certainly return.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind reflections and your custom. We are really pleased you enjoyed our site and I hear you with the wind. Being hilltop we get the best of all weathers. The well developed hedging on all pitches now this really does help with this including with the shade on really hot days too. We hope you have a wonderful rest of your trip and wish you all the best for the rest of your year!
