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.

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.
Dear Kathrine,Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us.We are delighted that our friendly welcome made such a positive first impression and that you found the park and facilities to be immaculate. Comments like yours mean a great deal to us, as we all work hard to maintain the high standards that our guests enjoy.Thank you also for your honest feedback regarding the location. While many of our guests enjoy exploring the surrounding area on foot, we appreciate that some places are easier to access by car. We're pleased you were able to enjoy both the beach walks and discover Cuckoo Valley Cider, which is certainly a lovely local gem.It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again for another relaxing holiday in the future.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James
This is a very clean and peaceful place. The staff always go the extra mile to help. The facilities are always in excellent condition You can get a great cup of coffee at the shop
Thank you, Paul, for your fantastic 5-star review.It is always a pleasure to welcome you back to Porthtowan Tourist Park. We're delighted you found the park clean, peaceful and well maintained. It means a great deal to us that you noticed the effort we put into keeping the facilities in excellent condition and that our team went the extra mile to help make your stay enjoyable. We're also pleased you enjoyed the coffee from the shop!We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit.Best wishes,Andrew, Angie & James
First time touring in Cornwall. We chose Porthtowan park because the price was great and it was central to where we wanted to visit.The park is very clean. From the washrooms and throughout the park. Even the dog walking field.Staff are very friendly and will help you with advice and any issues you may have.A great touring park in a great county.Would highly recommend.
Lovelley place could do with a pool. Shop needs upgrading.
Thank you, Paul, for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments about the park being well run and maintained to a high standard.We appreciate your suggestions regarding additional activities and a swimming pool. While these are not financially viable for a small site such as ours, we are always focused on maintaining and improving what we can realistically offer.Our on-site shop is intended to provide a convenient selection of everyday essentials for guests, rather than operating as a supermarket. We are confident that its presentation and cleanliness are maintained to a very high standard, and we continually review how best to offer value within the scope of a small campsite shop.We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay overall and hope to welcome you back to Porthtowan Tourist Park again in the future.Andrew, Angie & James
We recently spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Porthtowan Tourist Park. This being our third visit and within 2 days of being there we have booked our 4th visit next year this time for 3 weeks.We absolutely love the site . All of the amenities are spotless! Andy,Angie and James make you feel so welcome and nothing is to much trouble. The shower/toilet block is one of the cleanest we’ve been too and over the years this has not altered. The grounds are very well maintained which is down to the hard work that all the team do on this site .The shop on site has all the essentials, together with delicious coffees,pastries and milk shakes and if you’re visiting at the right time the crepes are also delicious .The site is well situated for lots of lovely beaches and there are lots of places to eat out . Anyone who hasn’t visited this site do as you don’t know what your missing! Liza and Nick
Thank you so much, Liza and Nick, for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us again. It means so much to all of us that you've already booked your fourth visit—and for three weeks next time!We're delighted to hear how much you enjoy the park and that you've found our facilities consistently clean and well maintained. Andy, Angie, James, and the whole team work hard to make every guest feel welcome, so your kind words will mean a great deal to them.It's lovely to know you've enjoyed the shop treats too—the coffees, pastries, milkshakes, and crepes are certainly favourites with many of our guests!Thank you again for your continued support and recommendation. We can't wait to welcome you both back next year for another relaxing stay at Porthtowan Tourist Park.Andrew, Angie & James xxx
The site is beautifully kept, all facilities are pristine, all staff are friendly and efficient, any queries dealt with. This is the best campsite we have ever been to and look forward to our holiday there next year.
Thank you Sue & Rod for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you found the site, facilities, and our team to be of such a high standard. It means so much to us to know you consider us the best campsite you've visited. We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear you'll be returning next year. We can't wait to welcome you both back for another fantastic holiday!Andrew, Angie & James xxx
It’s just a suggestion, but I’d fence both sides of the dogs walking area as every time I have a spaniel he dives out over the campsite looking for rabbits, otherwise we love this site it’s so perfect clean and friendly and near our favourite blue bar and porthtowan beach xx we go every year this time in a motor home usually a tent ❤️
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for returning to stay with us every year – it really does mean a lot! ❤️We really appreciate your suggestion about fencing both sides of the dog walking area. While we'd love to be able to do everything guests suggest, adding fencing over such a large area would be a significant investment. We do our best to provide a safe space and are always grateful for feedback as we plan future improvements.We're so pleased you love the site, our friendly atmosphere, and our location near Porthtowan Beach and the Blue Bar. We can't wait to welcome you back again next year!Andrew, Angie & James
What a fantastic site. Tha staff are outstanding , going out of their way to help us which we really appreciated. The site is super clean and well maintained and they make a excellent Latte . We cant wait to go again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such a great stay. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal—they'll be thrilled to know their efforts made such a positive difference to your visit.We're also so pleased you enjoyed our clean, well-maintained site and, of course, the lattes! It was a pleasure to welcome you, and we can't wait to see you again for another visit.Andrew, Angie & James xxx
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
We have just had a lovely week at this gem of a site. All directions and Information was emailed out before we arrived, checkin was was quick and also informative. The pitches were well marked and flat. The facilities were and grounds were kept to a high standard, and above all the staff and owners loved a chat.
Hi Ian Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing to stay with us for your week away.We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your pitch, found the arrival information helpful, and appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities and grounds. It’s also wonderful to know the team made you feel welcome—having a chat with our guests is one of the things we enjoy most!We are so pleased you had such a positive experience. We’d love to welcome you back again in the future.Andrew, Angie & James
