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.

Amazing campsite

Moore, Tanya - 16/07/2026

I’m not a seasoned camper but from the experience I do have this was definitely the best. Friendly and helpful staff from beginning, large and clearly signed pitches, good value, clean showers and toilets, great location. Couldn’t ask for anything more and I have already raved about it to my friends

Motorhome Stay

Williams, Anthony - 16/07/2026

Cannot thank the team enough, such a welcoming family and the site is immaculately maintained. We were on plot 21 a fully serviced gravel premium plot and it was brilliant. We have booked for next July. Excellent base to visit Cornwall and great access for walking the coastal routes, or in my case mountain biking

Tidy campsite with welcoming hosts

Watkins, Abby - 14/07/2026

Lovely clean site with very friendly and welcoming hosts. My children loved playing in the playground and especially enjoyed waking up to the bunny rabbits outside the tent. The toilet blocks were always very clean and really appreciated the separate family bathrooms to make it easier with young children. Also felt very safe with security cameras at the entrance. Would highly recommend for exploring Cornwall.

Friendly team/ immaculate site

Hemingway, Kathrine - 11/07/2026

On arrival what initially stood out for us was how friendly & welcoming the staff are. After walking around the site we were so impressed how well kept it was, everything was immaculate the grounds and the facilities, we have never stayed on a site of this high standard. The only downside for us was the location, there wasn't much around unless you are willing to drive, which for us we just wanted to pitch up and walk everywhere. There is a walk to the beach via the road which did have some paths along the route and also a coastal path which we did both routes. We did attempt to walk in the opposite direction but turned back because we didn't feel safe walking on the side of the road. We did come across while making our way to the coastal route a lovely cider distillery called Cuckoo Valley, we had a cider and a woodstove pizza which was delicious and the owner was very friendly & chatty. Would definitely stay on this site again but next time we would drive to places.
