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.

well we have now been to this park two time and booked for next year too, it one of if not the best sites for us, we don't need a bar or lots of things to do, we are on holiday, we had a fully serviced pitch which was large and with lots of space around it, site is well spotless, clean loo's, washing up area etc, with a warm welcome when we got to the site, all staff happy to help if requiredif there is anything to change its maybe more fully serviced pitches and maybe an adult only section, but please just keep doing things as well as you are its fab
Thank you so much Roy for your fantastic review and for choosing to stay with us again. It really means a lot to know that, after two visits, you’ve already booked to come back next year!We’re delighted you enjoyed your fully serviced pitch, the space and, most importantly, the peace and cleanliness of the site. We’re very much with you on the idea that sometimes a holiday is simply about relaxing and enjoying the surroundings, rather than needing lots of entertainment and a bar.Thank you too for your suggestions regarding more fully serviced pitches and an adult-only section. We’ll certainly keep them in mind!It was lovely having you with us again, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year. In the meantime, we’ll keep doing our best to keep things just as you like them.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James
Easy site to access with a caravan. Offers good security by the use of a barrier at the entrance. Really level pitches, so pitching was a dream!The whole site is a credit to the friendly family run concern. The standard of cleanliness is superb and the toilets/showers are a delight to use!Our grandchildren enjoyed the play area and made lots of friends. The local beaches are good, great for families but not particularly dog friendly during the peak season.
Thank you so much, Mark, for your fantastic 5-star review!It’s wonderful to hear that you found the site easy to access, with level pitches making setting up your caravan a dream. We’re also really pleased that you enjoyed the cleanliness of the site and our toilet and shower facilities.We’re a family-run park, so comments like yours mean a great deal to us. We’re especially pleased to hear that your grandchildren enjoyed the play area and made lots of friends during their stay.Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family back to Porthtowan Tourist Park again in the future.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James
From arrival to departure we were helped with a pleasant site team, the pitch and site is kept to the highest standards. The site is easy to get to and well placed to go along the west coast of Cornwall. We will be visiting the site again.
Thank you, Deran, for your lovely 5-star review.It’s great to hear that you had such a relaxing stay and found the site, pitch and grounds maintained to a high standard. We’re also pleased that you found us easy to reach and a good base for exploring the west coast of Cornwall.We really appreciate your kind comments about the team and look forward to welcoming you back to Porthtowan Tourist Park again in the future.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James
One of the best campsites we visited. The staff was so helpful and so friendly and served possibly the best coffee I had in Cornwall the entire time. The location is great. We explored the entirety of Cornwall from there and returned to a really peaceful and quiet campsite where the kids could play all evening. We'll happily visit again in the future.
Thank you so much, Kushai, for your wonderful 5-star review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and found the site peaceful and relaxing for your family.It’s especially lovely to hear your kind comments about our team and the coffee — we’ll happily take the compliment for possibly the best coffee in Cornwall!We’re so pleased you were able to explore Cornwall and then return to enjoy peaceful evenings on the park. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back again in the future.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie and James
Just returned from a 11 night stay in our tent. I had high expectations from the reviews & was not disappointed. Firstly the staff are extremely helpful and the showers/toilets were spotlessly clean. The site itself is well maintained. Bins/recycling collected regularly. Well located to explore Cornwall. First class Wi-Fi!Things to consider…..more food vans in peak season would be useful, shop to sell fresh bread & possibly open for longer hours in peak season. Licence in the shop would make us more likely to return. Overall we had a fantastic stay, thank you all 😊 The Victory Inn a must for food! Very close to the site.
Thank you so much, Claire, for your fantastic 5-star review and for choosing Porthtowan Tourist Park for your 11-night stay!We are delighted that we lived up to your expectations and that you enjoyed your time with us. It is lovely to hear that you found our staff extremely helpful, the facilities spotlessly clean, and the site well maintained. We are also pleased you enjoyed the Wi-Fi and our location for exploring Cornwall.Thank you as well for taking the time to share your suggestions regarding additional food vans, fresh bread and longer shop opening hours during peak season. We really do appreciate guest feedback and will certainly take your comments on board.Regarding the suggestion of selling alcohol in the shop, this is something we have looked into. Unfortunately, the cost of obtaining and maintaining the necessary licence would not currently be cost-effective for us.We're so pleased you had a fantastic stay and hope to welcome you back to Porthtowan Tourist Park again in the future.Best wishes,Andrew, Angie & James
We have stayed at Porthtowan Tourist Park for several years. We have just returned from our 2 week summer holiday and have already booked for next year! The staff are incredibly hard working and the site is always immaculately tidy. It is so lovely to see staff that are so passionate about the job they do and genuinely interested when talking to you. The pitches are a good size and plenty of options to choose from. The facilities are great, my children loved the independence of going to the shop and buying a milkshake with their holiday money. We would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return! Keep up the great work guys!

We returned again to this lovely, quiet site that is an ideal base for lots of lovely beaches and places to visit. Great pitch size and pet friendly with a good sized enclosed dog walk area where off lead is permitted. The staff/owners are super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Coffee from the shop was lovely, as were the crepes. We will definitely return.
