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.

It is always a delight to return here, the site is always immaculate and Andrew, Angie and James are so friendly and welcoming. An added bonus this trip was a flight with James to the Scilly Isles.

Small Campsite in a Centralised Location

Bell, Paul - 21/07/2026

5

Great campsite which is clean and tidy and very well located to the A30 which can get you up or down the Cornwall coast. The owners put the TV in the games room to watch the football and supplied sausage rolls and crisps etc which was a great gesture.Only negative was we had wire pegs for our drive away awning which in some areas wouldn’t penetrate the ground possibly because of the lack of rain.

Hi Paul,Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and found the park clean, tidy and in such a convenient location for exploring Cornwall. Being just a few minutes from the A30 certainly makes it easy to head in whichever direction the day takes you.We're also really pleased you enjoyed watching the football in the games room. It was great to see so many guests come together, and we're glad the sausage rolls, crisps and other treats went down well!Thank you as well for mentioning the ground conditions. After such a prolonged dry spell, some areas had become much firmer than usual, which can make wire pegs difficult to get into the ground. We always recommend bringing a few stronger rock pegs when camping in Cornwall, especially during dry weather, as they can make pitching much easier.It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Porthtowan Tourist Park again soon.Kind regards,Andrew, Angie & James

Excellent campsite

Ward, Helen - 21/07/2026

The campsite was immaculate. The welcome was so friendly. The owners were such lovely, happy, helpful people. The campsite was spotless. They provided somewhere to watch the England football match and a buffet for anyone who wanted to watch it. Nothing was too much trouble. There is a well stocked shop. Coffees , pastries and milkshakes available. Good size pitches. Showers and toilets constantly checked and cleaned. We extended our stay because it was so enjoyable. Lovely beaches close by. Definitely will re book. Thank you for a brilliant experience. Helen and Alan from Plymouth

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

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
