  • Friendly and family-run rural site 10 minutes' drive from Helston
  • A natural wildlife habitat with plenty of space to play
  • Pub within walking distance; two miles from Praa Sands beach
Ah, that old Cornish dilemma: coast or country? If you conclude that a bit of both would be quite tremendous, take a look at Tremorvu, a friendly, family-run place that’s got both distant sea views and eight acres of rural space to play with. The peaceful fields here are bordered by hedges that encourage the local wildlife to hang around; pop your head over the top and you’ll be looking north towards Tregonning Hill or south to see the sea at Praa Sands (two miles away). Grab a glass, put your feet up and face west at a suitable hour and you may well be in for a spectacular sunset to finish the day. Within those hedges are plenty of space to strike up a barbie or campfire while the nippers run about. In peak season, a small shop opens up to sell local eggs, milk, bread, bacon and other essentials, plus the occasional homemade cake. Other supplies can be picked up at the supermarkets in Helston (10 minutes’ drive), and there’s an excellent pub 15 minutes’ walk away if you’d like a little stroll before your drinks and dins. Working up an appetite for meals shouldn’t be too hard… there are walks, bike rides, surfing, watersports and beach days all within a few miles, and you’re also in a strategic position for days out at St Michael's Mount, St Ives, The Flambards Experience and heaps more Cornish faves.

Power optional grass tent or campervan campsite (solo)

Liked: The facilities was lovely and clean, everything you needed. The place has a nice atmosphere, beautiful location. Amazing location with plenty to do.
A bonus is the option to get fresh eggs for a very fair price :)
Great WiFi, no password easy to get on and use. I'll 100% be returning in the near future, thank you very much.

Disliked: I can't really say I disliked anything, a shame I couldn't of stayed longer!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: What a nice review thank you. There is so much to do around the area. The little egg shop is brilliant, thanks go to our neigh-bours for that. We hope to welcome you back sometime.

Good quiet site with hedged pitches.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Large, level, clean site.
Frienly owner, very accomodating.
Toilets great with soap & paper towels.
Showers hot & free.
We visited when during bad weather so very quiet.

Disliked: Some road noise, but that was expected due to proximity BUT close to lots, shops, eateries, attractions etc

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your booking and review, we're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. When mist/fog and indeed windy weather rolls in it tends to bring a little noise depending on direction, its so peaceful here ordinarily, it may get noticed more perhaps when this happens. You can hear the sea too! We are lucky to be a fair way away from the road a little over quarter of a mile.
We really are in the perfect location!

The camping place is spacious and very peaceful. My partner and I…

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: The camping place is spacious and very peaceful. My partner and I stayed here in our roof tent with our dog for four nights in April. The showers and toilets were clean. The handsoap and toilet paper were provided. We also rented a firepit for three days. There was also a drinking water tap by the pitch, which was great to fill up our water bottles. Lee, the owner, was very hospitable and eager to answer any questions. We also had no issues here with our signal or Internet. The camping is situated in a perfect spot, close to all major points of interest for hikers and tourists. We can't wait to go back to Cornwall for holidays and we will definitely use this site again!

From the manager: Many thanks for your kind review, we're glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back!

From the manager: Thank you so much for booking with us and taking the time to post a review, it’s good to have feedback. We’ll check the Wi-Fi for the pitch/area you were on, it should be functioning well after our upgrades last year.
Best wishes from the Tremorvu Team.

1 bedroom camping pod (deluxe)

Liked: All round great place! Very quiet area and great views of farmland and the sea behind.
Very close to local pubs (The Lion and Lamb, The Coach and Horses especially!) shops and beaches, plenty to do!

The camping pod was perfect. Warm and clean. The shower was lovely.
The mattress could’ve been a bit comfier as could feel the springs (personal preference always varies).
Lee was very welcoming and helpful throughout.

The hot tubs look like they’re going to be a great addition to an already amazing offering!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review our site! We’re so happy you enjoyed your stay.
(We checked the mattress and it was upside down, so sorry, each mattress is encased in a zip up protective case, it was put back on the bed wrong way up after the refurb and we didn’t notice, lesson learned).

Was a lovely place out the way and just such good value…

Liked: Peaceful remote location. Friendly and accommodating service on arrival

Disliked: Gents toilets/showers need a little tlc

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for booking with us for your one night stay. We’re glad you found us a friendly bunch and we are in a fab location.

Confused by the marks received for
Accommodation - as you stayed in your own tent….
Child Friendliness - when you don’t have children….

Facilites/Activities - we suspect this is to do with your view on our gents facilities, as you weren’t here long enough for anything else! There are minor areas in a couple of gents shower cubicles where the paint has got a battering over the summer and these will be addressed when we close over Winter, other than that they are clean, hot water plentiful, fab over head showers, the toilets are stocked well with loo paper and hand soap and hand towels aplenty.

Cleanliness - again a low score, was this the gents too? Perhaps we’ll never know but we are flummoxed by this as we work hard to keep our facilities as clean and fresh as possible.

Our campsite clearly wasn’t for you, but we’re more than fine with that, thank you for giving it a try!

Excellent place already planning to book again

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Nice pitches with mostly level ground and hedges either side which provided privacy and shelter
Met the owners who seemed nice 🙂

Disliked: Main bathroom , the amount of bugs 🥴 like an insect zoo.
Other bathroom round the side was much better though

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the review 👍 and for booking with us, we’re sorry about the bugs, they get attracted by the lights at night and they do like that bathroom!
Hope to see you again someday

Local attractions

Stretch those legs out and get your boots on – there are heaps of fab walks nearby. Traipse up Tregonning Hill (half an hour or so) for tiptop scenic views and then carry on to the National Trust’s Godolphin Estate (an hour’s hike) for gorgeous garden walks. (Top tip: the grounds are particularly ravishing when all the bluebells burst to life in May.) You can stroll by the sea too should you wish, using the scent of salt air to point you to the South West Coast Path, a mere couple of miles away. You’re never far from a stunning beach in Cornwall, either: the top choices round here are Praa Sands (10 minutes’ drive) for sandcastles, swimming and surfing, and the little secluded cove at Rinsey, just a little further east. For kayaking and paddleboarding, plot a course to Porthleven harbour (15 minutes). Pack yourselves into the car and you’re within easy reach of all sorts of day trips: St Michael's Mount (15 minutes), The Flambards Experience (20 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes) and the galleries of St Ives (half an hour); you might also consider going all the way to the edge at Land’s End (40 minutes).
