Reviewer: Booma_mitch 6 reviews from this member

 Another fantastic stay at Tregarton. We stayed for a week at spring bank.

The shop is now open all day and the take away is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The reception and shop have moved from their old location across the courtyard and have been beautifully renovated. The pool is open until 7pm now, later than last year I believe. The showers and toilets are still the best we have ever seen.

One small 'moan' was that our pitch looked quite tired, which is surprising so early in the season. It could have done with a bit of topsoil to level the dips and some grass seed over the winter. However, it did seem to be only our pitches that were like this, the others seemed to be in good shape.

The playground was closed promptly at 9pm and the site generally quietened down after this time.

A lovely family site, so much so we have booked again for next year.

 By far the best site we have ever stayed at, immaculatly kept with great facilities.

Toilet block A*

Swimming Pool A*(hours of fun with the kids)

Play Area A* (my 6 year old loved it, we had to drag him away from the fort!)

Only 20 mins from the Eden Project and close to many beaches.

Owners very helpful even sited the van and levelled it for us (wish they could have put the awning up too as provided our new neighbours with a new spectator sport.

I cant recommend this site enoughy and if in the area we would definitely return.

 We stayed for half term week and found this to be a wonderful site. Pool was open and warm, pitches are huge and although the site was full it was very quiet at night.

The park is a godsend for our 3 children under 7! We had some great days out although you do have to drive everywhere as the park is quite isolated but this was not a problem.

The washing and drying facilities are superb and the wait for the showers in the morning was minimal.

The only drawback was the lack of a family bathroom but the baby had to make do with the belfast sink in the laundry room instead! A great week on a superb park and great value for money!

 Our first visit to this site, in fact, our first camping (with a tent) for many, many years and what a pleasant surprise we had on arrival at Tregarton.

Camping when we last camped was a far cry from the great facilities at this site, the toilet block in particular was exceptional in every respect.

The pitch was great despite the attempts by the rabbits prior to our arrival to dig their way to who knows where.

A very pleasant experience indeed and we will return in the future no doubt.

 Our forth visit to this site so they must be doing something right. As usual the welcome was friendly and our van was pitched and levelled while we watched on.

The site is as always kept nice and clean, the rubbish collected daily. The washing and shower facilities are immaculate with loads of hot water. The laundry and washing up area is great, we used the washing machines a couple of times and they do a good job, the tumble driers could do with being a bit hotter though, maybe the gas was getting low.

One small thing though, the shop could do with being open thoughout the season and maybe have longer opening times.(it didn't open until the 14th May). Also us wrinklies would like a dip in the pool as well, but that wasn't open either.

We will book again for next year, maybe a little later in May so we can dip our toes in the pool and have one of the lovely take aways for our tea.

Reviewer: InghamIF 19 reviews from this member

 Spent two weeks here, well run and well managed site with a very reasonably priced shop.

We had a problem with low voltage supply on our EHU which was resolved in a friendly professional manner by the owners son.

Being at one of the lowest priced times of year the site was full of retired people, many of whom were staying for up to 2 months which led to an atmosphere similar to that on the winter sites in Spain.

After Spring Bank Holiday I would guess that there is a change in clientèle. The pool was not open during our visit but it seemed to be of an excellent standard.

There is an infrequent bus service to/from Goran Haven and St Austell( via Mevagissey). To gain the best from the surrounding area access to a car is probably essential, particularly with young children. Unfortunately most of the popular visitor places have limited, costly parking, which could make visits in high season expensive if the weather is less than perfect.

Overall an excellently run site with new, well maintained toilet facilities, an excellent shop and well maintained well managed general facilities.

Reviewer: Mrmydak 1 review from this member

 We recently visited this site for a 3 night mini-break in Cornwall.

The site were very helpful, we left things a bit late to book in advance so travelled down from the Midlands with a list of sites we would call once we got into Cornwall.

Tregarton park was one of the top on our list and we called and they confirmed that they did have spaces available for us.

On arrival we were greeted at reception and given a choices of pitches to use. We picked on that looked fairly sheltered and had a bit of space around it.

The pitch was fine, nice and easy and had fences on either side, which made things nice and easy for us and means you don't have to worry about encroachment etc.

The site is fairly level, some hills and some good facilities, but we didn't use them really.

There are many waterpoints, all over the site, all are lit and also have bins in them so nice and easy to get rid of rubbish.

The showers and toilets are great, nice temperature. The only complaint could be that the run isn't slightly longer.

The one downside to this site was the shop. It appeared that it was being moved or refitted at the time of outr visit. This left us someone stuck being tent people and meant we had to go back to St Austell to find shops at times for breakfast etc. Unfortunately no one told us this. It seemed we weren't the only people who were disappointed by this.

Location wise the site is very quiet. It's fairly near to St Gorran which is a group of villages/hamlets which feature in Gorran Haven a lovely little fish and chips shop right on the beach!

Mwevagissey is also nearby, which of course has come lovely restaraunts and pubs, and some great little cafes to keep you in pasties, seafood and clotted cream.

I'd definitely recommend going there!

Unfortunately there isn't really anything within 'walking distance' if you don;t fancy yomping some of Cornwalls standard massive hills!

 Fabulous site. Couldn't be better.

We arrived on spec. We drove up the road, found this site and managed by luck to get in. We had a fantastic pitch and the site owner put our caravan on the pitch for us, levelled and ready to use. That is what service is all about!

A lovely quiet site with a heated swimming pool, tennis courts, kids play area, shop, and everything you could need. Staff very friendly and more than helpful. No kids running amok at midnight.

Nearby there are plenty of lovely uncrowded beaches, St Austell and Mavegissey are just up the road with Charlestown, Fowey and Polperro only a short drive away. 3 minutes drive from the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Highly recommended.

Reviewer: TheLawleyLot! 1 review from this member

 Had 11 nights at Tregarton Park and although the weather wasn't brilliant, have to say the park was the best site we have stayed on.

Staff were very friendly & always had an hello for us. Site was very clean & tidy and the shower block was like a 5star hotel compared to other sites we have visited. Very clean modern toilets and the showers had hot water every time we used them. Very kid friendly as my 4 year old daughter had to be dragged out of the showers! We enjoyed every moment of our stay, peaceful & loved seeing the rabbits running wild every day.

You definitely need a car to travel around but that shouldn't put you off such a beautiful part of the country. Everything is in easy reach. Have nothing negative to say about this place. Give it 12/10.

Will definitely be returning.

Reviewer: Ikst.campers 1 review from this member

 Friendly site from the moment we booked our pitch back in February 2010 - recommended by friends. Directions provided by the site are perfect and easy to follow.

Beautifully looked after site - all facilities are spotless! Pitch was very large and access to water, waste and bins was close by. Recyling area and bins are emptied daily. The shop is well stocked and reasonably priced too. Pool was very clean and it is positioned to get lots of sunshine, its a great size and very safe.

Selected this site as it does not have entertainment and the pool / playing area is closed at a sensible time. Perfect site for people / families who want to explore a beautiful area of Cornwall.

Would return to this site and would highly recommend it to other families who need a site that has covered ALL aspects to provide a top quality relaxing camping holiday.

 My family and I visited Tregarton for 2 weeks this summer. The site is wonderful, its the second time we have been there and would recommend it to anyone. Its the cleanest site I've ever been to with great facilities.

The showers are cleaned to a very high standard, plus there are great laundry facilities. If I had to complain about anything it would be the lack of hand dryers in the ladies loos and not enough showers for the ladies either. Also I feel the shop could have opened a little later in the evenings too. But all in all a great site :)

Reviewer: Janehd 5 reviews from this member

 First visit to this site, and we were very impressed. The pitches are really large, so plenty of room for our huge tent. Good facilities - the toilets and showers were very modern and clean with plenty of hot water at all times of the day.

The site is very quiet at night, helped I think by the space between units - we tended to be woken by the wood pigeons in the mornings! We didn't use the laundry facilities this time (just saved it to bring home!) but noted that the washing machines automatically dispense persil non-bio and comfort conditioner - you cannot add your own (£4 per wash).

Our only gripe - with two older children to entertain, it would have been nice if the swimming pool and tennis court were open slightly later in the evenings - both shut at 6pm, which was a shame on the few sunny evenings we had! Also, you need to book the court in advance which can be tricky if you miss the shop opening times.

Reviewer: Slow Laner 8 reviews from this member

 When we arrived we had a warm friendly welcome, not rushed at all. We were then shown to our large pitch and the owner sited and levelled our van for us in minutes.

Facilities are all first class, spotlessly clean at all times of the day.

Even though the campsite was full, we both commented on how quiet it was all the time we were staying there. What a treat.

Loved it here so much we have booked another stay in September. 


Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: KevinMunro 3 reviews from this member

 Tregarton is a very well managed site with friendly owners. The showers and toilets are first class and the site is clean and tidy with well marked out pitches separated out by bushes and shrubs.

We were on pitch 34 which was next to the kids playpark (as requested) and our 3 girls enjoyed coming and going. On reflection it was perhaps a bit too close to the road for us and we were advised of this when we booked, so that is fine. It is not a busy road but after a while the road noise was intrusive - mind you, you hear everything in a trailer tent! Next time I reckon that a pitch another 10 meters in would make all the difference.

Tennis court is first class too, easy to book and we had a couple of games and enjoyed that.

Swimming pool is really great and is heated. Weather was around 18 deg and raining during second week of July and it was funny to see the steam coming off the pool as it rained!

We would definitely go back to this site when we go back to Cornwall again and would thoroughly recommend it as a relaxing and quality site.

I am sure the weather will be better next time, we left a few days early as it was so stormy!

Reviewer: Jorob 2 reviews from this member

 I agree with most of the other reviews here about the facilities being excellent and very clean, so I wont repeat all of that.

The site is very nicely laid out and has been tastefully developed with old cornish buildings around.

We were on a pitch near the kids play area, a really nice one which kind of sits on its own with out other pitches either side. I can't remember the number now. The kids (7,5 & 2) had a fab time and the older two could go off and play without us all having to go and supervise them.

My only disappointment (not the fault of the park) was that I found the site lacked atmosphere. There were mostly caravans there in half term week. Which meant that most people were in their caravans watching TV in the evenings. The rule of the play park being locked at 9pm was great, so no rowdy kids after dark, which was great with us being so close to it.

The only other negative was rather a lot of rowdy adults around the pool drinking beer one afternoon.

Although Tregarton park was very neat, tidy and organised and made for a very easy camping week it wasn't really my cup of tea.
