  • Peaceful Cornish site 10 minutes’ drive from scenic sandy beaches
  • A 10-minute drive from Helston and 25 minutes from Penzance
  • Praa Sands and Porthleven within 15 minutes' drive
Do your family’s demands for hols hinge on proximity to shopping towns, whizzing rides and pristine beaches? Tick everyone’s boxes with a visit to Wheal Vreagh Farm, a family-friendly site 10 minutes’ drive from Helston. The site is about 15 minutes from the edge of the scenic Lizard peninsula, putting plenty of stellar beach options including Praa Sands and Porthleven within easy reach. Porthleven is the nearer of the two, less than 10 minutes away, and is a top spot for paddleboarding and sea kayaking; further afield, sandy stretches at Polurrian and Mullion (both 25 minutes) have fishing and watersports, Porthkerris is 35 minutes away for diving and shipwreck scouting, and Newquay and Sennen Cove are about 45 minutes from base if surfing appeals. For salt-free hours, opt for a day wandering the small shops and pretty streets of Helston, home to the famed Furry Dance. After busy days, make a welcome return to the peaceful site, where unwinding and switching off is a simple matter of grilling up dinner on the barbie and basking in the quiet of the green and spacious grassy fields. Best of all? A washing-up area and launderette on-site mean there’s no need to spend hols dreading the pile of work that will await upon your return home…

What customers say

Immaculately clean, spacious pitches, many with picnic tables. Owners exceptionally friendly & helpful. Spotless, modern facilities. Peaceful, central for Cornwall. WiFi can be spotty; occasional minor issues with shower water flow & lack of kids' play areas. Highly recommended, many want to return.

Stargazey 2 bedroom cabin

Liked We werden welkom geheten door de eigenaresse (en bij toeval omdat we te vroeg waren ook de schoonmaakster). Een hartelijk ontvangst, de eigenaresse deed een rondleiding over de camping en de faciliteiten. Bij binnenkomst in het huisje stonden er scones met clotted cream, aardbeienjam en verse aardbeien voor ons klaar.

De camping zag er verzorgd uit, was erg netjes en schoon. De plekken voor tenten/ caravans zijn zeer ruim. Wc's, douches en wasgelegenheden zijn ruim opgezet en worden dagelijks goed schoongemaakt. Het gehuurde huisjes was zeer volledig ingericht. We hebben niet iets gemist en als het wel zo was konden we de eigenaresse bellen/ appen (hebben we dus niet hoeven te doen). De eigenaresse was zeer toegankelijk en vriendelijk.

Disliked De Wifi had niet altijd even goede kwaliteit/ bereik maar over het algemeen deed die het prima. We hebben eigenlijk geen punten ontdekt waar we niet blij mee waren ;-).

Iris L.

Powered grass campsite

Liked We really liked the campsite. Every pitch has his own picknic table, witch we didn't use because of the weather.
The pitches are large and with electricity.

Disliked What we didn't was the duration of the waterflow of the showers. It is really short.

Local attractions

A 10-minute drive from the coast and the South West Coast Path, the site is well placed for scenic rambles along wild Cornish coastline. Particularly spectacular views are to be had in and around Marazion, where a glance seaward casts eyes on the stunning St Michael’s Mount (reachable at low tide along a causeway from the mainland). That’s far from the only must-visit coastal spot hereabouts either: it’s a 45-minute drive to Land’s End, England’s most westerly point, for plenty of photo opps and a Cornish cream tea – that’s jam, then cream, people – before heading homeward. Keen historians may be drawn to the grandiosity of the ruined but sprawling Godolphin House and Gardens, five minutes away, while budding horticulturists should smell the roses at Glendurgan and Trebah gardens (35 minutes), Trewithian Gardens and the Eden Project (both about an hour). Town time can be spent wandering cobbled streets in pretty St Ives, exploring gardens, galleries and museums in Penzance (and boat trips to the Scilly Isles), or clambering around Henry VIII’s Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, all within about half an hour of the site.
