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.

Excellent Park

Peacock, Jason - 26/06/2026

Excellent park and spotless.Greeted and guided to our spot. I don’t think you could get a bad one.Facilities were great and a flat pitch which is really handy.Porth Towen isn’t far away , but it’s downhill all the way, and when walking/cycling, it’s a hard workout.We couldn’t get a taxi for love nor money on a Sunday evening/late afternoon. Obviously not the sites fault, but if your planning the mile (ish) you’ll need to be fit.We rate the Blue Bar on the beach, but didn’t think much of the unicorn. Huge wait and we left disappointed.One place we can say offered over and above service was Porthtowan Village Store. The guy there really tried to help us get a taxi. He was amazing.We love Porthtowan, stayed there quite a few times in cottages, but we love our camper/ motorhome. We have to search for parking bays dedicated to park. Cornwall lacks places to park. Marizion offers the best parking we have parked so far, and not took advantage of.

Thank you, Jason, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you found the park spotless, the facilities excellent, and your pitch nice and level. It's great to know our team made you feel welcome from the moment you arrived.We also appreciate you sharing your experiences around Porthtowan. The walk back from the beach is certainly a good walk and taxi availability on Sundays can be frustrating in rural Cornwall. We're glad to hear the team at Porthtowan Village Store went above and beyond to help you.Thank you for your recommendations too – we're sure future visitors will find them helpful. It means a lot that you've chosen to stay with us while exploring one of your favourite parts of Cornwall in your Campervan / MotorhomeWe hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay!Andrew, Angie & James

Excellent site, very accessible, well laid out, spotless facilities.

Wheeler, Lorraine - 10/06/2026

5

We enjoyed staying at this site. Easily accessible from the A30 for towing and easy access to the coast path for walking. Not so great for walking into Porthtowan and to the beach along the road as no pavements and some blind bends, but plenty of parking there and public toilets.The site was well laid out and landscaped with mature trees and hedges. The shower and toilet facilities were spotless. Lovely hot showers in the ladies not so for gents sadly as the shower was only luke warm. We enjoyed playing pool in the games room which was a bonus. We didn't make use of the onsite shop, but useful to know its there.Good value for the discounted price we paid, however we thought the advertised daily prices were a little expensive.Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

Immaculate lovely campsite for all types of campers.

Branfield, Vicki - 10/06/2026

5

Friendly, accommodating owners. An immaculate, clean campsite. It’s great for couples, families and dogs. Everyone is welcome. Everything you require from the campsite from grass tennis court/football pitch, playground, dog walking area, washing machines/driers, camp shop, logs, gas bottles and a games room with a pool table and a library of books to read. Everything for everyone, in a rural location and not far to the local blue flag beach of Porthtowan.
