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.

Dear Sarah,Thank you so much for your lovely review. Guests like you are the reason Porthtowan Tourist Park feels like such a special place.Seeing you return to us year after year is something we never take for granted. There are so many places you could choose for your holidays, so the fact that you continue to come back to us means more than we can say. It's always a pleasure to welcome you back, and over the years it really feels like we're catching up with friends rather than simply welcoming guests.We're thrilled you had another amazing two-week stay and that everything was perfect once again. The biggest compliment of all is that you booked your holiday for next year before you even left – thank you so much for your trust and continued support.We already look forward to welcoming you back next year for another fantastic stay and to continuing the tradition for many more years to come.Take care until then, and thank you once again for being such valued returning guests.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James

First impressions of a very welcoming site.

Robson, Nigel - 24/07/2026

From the initial welcome to the whole stay we were very impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the overall cleanliness of the site. We were lucky to be there for the England games and the staff set up a tv, provided snacks all foc. Great atmosphere. The only obstacle for us, traveling in a large motorhome was access to surrounding areas. The beach and shop is only one mile away but it is quite a climb. Overall an excellent site, great staff and superb facilities. Nigel and Jill.

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that our welcome, friendly team and the cleanliness of the park made such a positive first impression.We're so pleased you were here to enjoy the England matches with us. It was a fantastic atmosphere, and we're glad you enjoyed the snacks and watching the games together—it was a great way to bring everyone on the park together.Thank you also for mentioning the access to the local area. Cornwall certainly has its fair share of hills, but we hope the views and coastline make the climb worthwhile!It was a pleasure having you both stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Porthtowan Tourist Park again soon.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James

Fantastic campsite run by a fabulous trio

Aubin-Parvu, Jean-Paul - 24/07/2026

The site itself is gorgeous, lined with trees and populated with baskets full of brightly coloured flowers. The atmosphere is super relaxed, making it the perfect place to just lie back and doze in the afternoon sunshine. The facilities are top notch and so are the coffees and fresh pastries on sale from the shop. And three cheers for the milkshakes. But best of all are the family who own and run this charming site. Andrew, Angie and James do everything they possibly can to make each guest's stay truly memorable. I ended up staying one extra night simply because I couldn't bear to leave. I shall definitely be back in the very near future. Cheers, JP
