Porthtowan Tourist Park is a 6 acre touring site spread over three level fields making it ideal for motorhomes as well as tents and caravans. Surrounded by farmland, we offer our visitors the opportunity to relax in beautiful peaceful countryside or walk the nearby South West Coast path and Mineral Trail.

We are one mile from Porthtowan beach, which has achieved Blue Flag status for a number of years and is one of the most spectacular beaches on the North Cornwall coast. Well known for its surf and surf school, it is also family friendly with a large expanse of sand and plenty of rock pools and caves to explore.

As a base for visiting Cornwall there is plenty to do in the area with a variety of beaches, gardens and attractions within easy reach and only eight miles from the cathedral city of Truro.

Immaculate, friendly, family run site.

Rogers, Lindsay - 09/08/2026

5

Second visit to this site and not disappointed. This is a family run site which shows in the high standard of care and attention. All staff members are friendly and pro active with their smiles and hello in every passing. Pitches are generous and there is a variety of hard standing, grass and mixed. The owners work hard to communicate with guests and keep the peaceful environment. The small onsite shop has the essentials and is open twice daily. There is a small games room, well maintained bathrooms, laundry, washing up area and outside wetsuit tap. Lovely beach is within walking distance for adults and teenagers. Maybe more difficult with little ones as a lot of stones on the back route and the main road route loses the footpaths at several spots. Also this is not a flat walk. There is parking at the beach so easy enough to drive down if you prefer. All in all a great site for families and adults who prefer quieter sites but still want some of the extra facilities.

Thank you so much, Lindsay, for your lovely 5-star review and for choosing to stay with us again.It really means a lot to hear that you enjoyed your second visit and that you noticed the care and attention we put into keeping the park clean, peaceful and well maintained. We’re especially pleased that you found the team friendly and welcoming — we always try to make sure every guest gets a smile and a hello!Thank you also for mentioning the facilities and the generous pitches. We’re continually working to keep everything to a high standard, so your comments are greatly appreciated.We’re glad you enjoyed the walk down to Porthtowan Beach too. As you mention, the route can be a little challenging with younger children, particularly with the stones and some of the uneven sections, so driving down is certainly an easier option for families with little ones.It was a pleasure having you back with us, and we really hope to welcome you and your family back to Porthtowan Tourist Park for a third visit in the future.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James

Superb holiday as always on this beautiful Campsite!

Our second visit this year to this beautiful campsite! We stayed for 10 nights in peak season! Nothing is too much trouble and the campsite owners Andy, Angie and James always give us a warm welcome. The campsite is spotlessly clean and tidy with generous pitch sizes. There are beautiful flowers and shrubs everywhere. Great location to some lovely beaches. The weather was amazing and you get the most beautiful sunsets from the campsite.It is always a pleasure coming to Porthtowan Tourist Park and we look forward to coming back in September.Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Fantastic campsite

Busfield, Gemma - 06/08/2026

Very very clean campsite! Beautifully maintained pitches! Slightly out the way inland, making some walks quite long, but pleasant along the coastal path. We weren’t able to try the crepes as we didn’t realise they were on a Mon & Friday only, we wanted to though! They looked good, and our lazy boys woke up too late for them as they finish serving at 10am. The only bug bare of mine (and it’s nothing the owners can do) is some guests allowed their small children to squeal/ scream on the park quite late at night!

Thank you so much, Gemma, for your fantastic 5-star review!We’re really pleased you found the campsite very clean and the pitches beautifully maintained, and that you enjoyed the walks along the coastal path. We are a little inland, but hopefully the lovely coastal walks make up for it!Sorry you missed out on the crepes! You’ll have to make sure you’re up early enough next time — they are definitely worth trying!Thank you also for your feedback regarding the evening noise. We always make guests aware of our noise policy and ask everyone to be considerate of other guests.Thanks again for staying with us and for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We hope to see you again soon!Kind regardsAndrew, Angie & James

We stay at Porthtowan all the time when we visit Cornwall it’s absolutely fantastic and beautiful site. The facilities are excellent! Only thing I would like to add is a long mirror in the ladies (Us ladies like to see a full outfit in the mirror) other than that it’s 10/10! We will definitely be back! The milkshakes are also perfect and absolutely delicious!! A super campsite!
