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 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

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.

We've been to Port Howan 3 times now, and we love the site. The amenities are amazing All the staff especially Angie and Andrew go above and beyond to help and always have time for a friendly chat.I would recommend this site, BUT I don't want it to get to popular so we can't get back ( hahahahaha ) We have very large tents and they fitted in perfectly
