Lovely, quiet, family friendly campsite. Great toilet and shower block, really clean and modern. Lovely steaming hot water. We had a bigger pitch size (they vary) which was great for our large tent + cars. Older kids loved the pool, younger kids loved the play area.
All facilities are really well laid out and maintained. Washing machines - £4 with self-dispensing powder and softener. Dryers - 20p's, min 60p per load. Take-away menu was really handy, we all had fab, fresh, hot food.
There are only 2 things that I can note if I'm being really picky about our experience:
1. We wished the pool and tennis courts stayed open a little longer in the evenings - closing at 6pm means there's nothing for the teens.
2. Our pitch (29) was right at the front corner of the park near the road. Its not a particularly busy road, but we did really notice the noise of traffic at certain times. Another pitch slightly further back would have been fine.
A great holiday, a great camp site, we would definitely go back again.
We stayed here the last week of July. We had plot 84 which was huge even for our massive Vango 8 man tent. We even managed to park our car on the plot.
The plots are laid out well so that you have privacy from your neighbours. I agree with previous reviews that the only noise were the wood pigeons in the morning and a cow mooing somewhere in the distance. We had lots of early morning visits from rabbits which the kids loved, so we really felt 'at one' with nature.
We deliberately picked this site because they don't have a bar or evening entertainment so it is quiet earlier than many places we have stayed. A definite plus in my book with two preschoolers.
The owners of the site were pleasant and straight talking. I like the fact they have a few rules and tried to make sure other guests stick to them, although their 'dogs to be kept on a lead' isn't always adhered to and there were a couple instances of roaming dogs around our tent, one of which one member of staff drove past but did nothing about.
My only (all be it small) gripe was that they could do with a family wash/shower room as my two year old wasn't keen on using the showers to begin with. Showering the kids in the evening meant we had to queue pretty much every night for a shower even though we varied the times we visited to see if it made a difference. There are only 5 showers for women and the same for men, so be prepared to wait 10 minutes or so during peak season. I had the same when I used the shower in the morning unless I went in before 7.30am.
That said, the showers are clean and the glass door between shower and changing area means you don't get all of your stuff wet/have to get dressed in a puddle.
The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced. I expected to have to pay over the odds for forgotten essentials or every day stuff such as bread and milk but was pleasantly surprised.
Would definitely stay here again if we went back to Cornwall and can see why people repeat-book Tregarton.
Tregarton Park is a lovely, clean site with all the facilities one could need. The holiday was spoilt though with the incessant cutting of the grass and hedges. Every single day the machine could be heard and it became annoying. It wasn't the peaceful break we anticipated. This may have been a one off week and we were unlucky.
There is no where to go for a walk, which is a shame. Buses do stop outside the park, but the gent in the park shop informed us that they were hit and miss on the return journey back to Tregarton Park and the buses were only 8 seaters.
We went out in our motorhome in the end to Mevigissey - lovely fishing harbour and fabulous shops. Also Goran Haven is quiet lovely - Both worth a visit.
Tregarton Park is a great park as a central base for Cornwalls attractions. Shame that there is no where to walk from the park, would have been nice to take in the lovely surroundings on foot. However not a problem.
The showers/toilet block was always clean. The owners are very helpful and polite, always got a wave from the man cutting the grass and emptying the bins daily.
There are bins and water stations all in close proximity of the pitches.
The park is maintained really well, lots of wildlife, birds and rabbits mainly, the odd cow mooing in the adjoining fields, really nice to see and hear.
We stayed for 13 nights from late July through to the begiing of August. Tregarton Park is rather out of the way and my Sat Nav directed us down the wrong road. Head to St Austell and follow the signs for Mevigissey and then take the turn signed for the Lost Gardens of Haligan.
On arriving the staff directed us to our pitch and then used their own vehicle to put our caravan on the pitch. They also levelled the caravan as the pitch was on a slope in both directions. The pitch was large with gravel. Despite this it was easy to hammer in the pegs for the awning.
The pitches are quite basic, ie several share an electric bollard (so best to have a long cable) and there are no drains or water on the pitches. Not really a problem but the daily fee is rather expensive for this lack of facilities (£27 per night). Site facilities are OK, but we were rather disappointed as they did not quite live up to the website. The pool is very shallow and rather cold.
As others have commented the opening hours of the shop and pool are very restricted. The pool and play ground shuts at 6pm and the shop at 7.30pm and is also closed for 2 hours mid afternoon. This proved to be very inconvenient - the owners could do with remembering they are supposed to be offering a service for the customers and not worrying about their own convenience.
The toilets are ok, but given how popular this site is for tenters they could really do with more toilets and showers. I also was not impressed with the total lack of temperature control for the showers.
I like a cool shower as I was badly burned a few years ago and hot water always irritates my scars. As I could not control the temperature in the showers and found it too hot, I had to resort to the caravans shower which magnified the inconvenience of not having water on the pitch.
I note they have posters advertising how they had won awards quite a few years ago, but nothing recently. Truth is I can see that 10 or 15 years ago this would have been a good site, but given their premium charges it need to be modernised. I would also prefer if they separated the tenters from the caravans as I prefer Caravan only sites.
On a more positive note this is a nice area. Mevigissey and Goran Haven are both lovely (St Austell is horrible). A few improvements and this site could be an award winner again. Shop should be open 7am to 10pm (with no mid afternoon break) and the pool and play ground should be open up to dusk.
The pitches are massive and well maintained with 10 amp hookups. The ablutions block is excellent with toilets, showers, laundry and pot wash, again well maintained and spotlessly clean.
There is a well stocked shop on site which I only needed for my morning paper as we used the Tesco in St. Austell, or the massive Asda, also in St. Austell.
The swimming pool is brilliant and as it is quite shallow, reasonably safe for kids (they have to be supervised at all times by an adult). There are sunloungers and picnic tables around the pool. There is a full size tennis court, but I didn't see anyone using this, though I would imagine it will be used during the school holidays.
The staff are very friendly and helpful and I really appreciate the help I was given in order to use my laptop via WiFi (£10 for week, which I thought was good value).
We visited some lovely places whilst in Cornwall including nearby Mevagissey, Gorran Haven, Fowey, Charlestown and Polperro and a bit further to Padstow, St. Ives, Penzance and Newquay.
All in all, a great holiday and well worth the 370 mile journey. Will be returning, possibly later this year.
PS. Use the directions from the sites webpage, not use satnav. My sister in law used satnav and it took them up the tiniest of narrow roads which was also on a very steep hill. The van was touching the undergrowth at both sides of the road. Luckily he didn't encounter oncoming traffic as it would have been virtually impossible for him to reverse the van around the sharp bends.
Just returned from Tregarton Park and what a great week we had. Site facilities very good and staff extremely helpful. Showers and toilets spotless. The pool was fantastic; we thought we were on the French Riveria!
The site is well placed for trips out. As the site has only 133 pitches it has a lovely tranquil feel. We will be back
We have just returned from yet another visit to Tregarton Park, and once more, had a fabulous holiday. The site is a pleasure to visit, the owners & staff so friendly and helpful, and the experience of Staying here leaves you totally relaxed.
We stayed in Spring Meadow, with my daughter & family alongside, pitches 131 & 132 and can recommend this site for those with children and those without.
The pool was really good, the grandchildren enjoying a daily swim. The shop is well stocked and the food from the takeaway is excellent value.
All in all, we cannot recommend this park too highly, if marked out of 10, it is definitely a 10!
We will be returning to Tregarton Park soon, but this time with a caravan, and are looking forward once more to receiving a great Cornish welcome.
Very very impressed with site and facilities, we thought the site was clean, well kept and most importantly peaceful. Staff were friendly and helpful, shop was reasonably priced and the on-site catering is well worth a try.
Swimming pool was nice and clean and very welcome given the superb weather we enjoyed. Site could do with some facilities for youngsters in the 12 to 16 age range perhaps a couple of arcade games and a pool table / table tennis table
Surrounding area is great for exploring, Mevagissey just down the road as is Gorran haven both nice places. Would highly recommend Lobbs farm shop (the Marks & Spencer of local produce) which is a couple of miles down the road. We have booked for next year, what better endorsement can I give the park!
Tregarton Park, a lovely clean, well presented site. Toilets and showers, especially the showers were fabulous, very well stocked shop with a take away service, the chips were delicious. The site owners were very friendly and chatty. Some of the motor homes were sited on stepped levels, plenty of room for awnings and have EHU.
The site also has WiFi. There's a bus stop outside the site, but the buses are a bit odd, they have the same number but they go to different locations every 2 hours.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan are 10 minutes up the road, and Mevigissey 20 mins. Unless you have a car or are prepared to go out in your motorhome every day, there is nothing outside the site, pub, shops etc:
The site has a swimming pool, tennis courts but really could do with a cafe or cafe/bar. The price for 10 days was more than reasonable including EHU. Would we go again - most definitely.
We have just returned home from the Tregarton Park the site was very well maintained and very clean including the shower/toilet blocks. Friendly helpful staff they even pitched an levelled the caravan for you. The only down side to the site was the swimming pool was closed as from 4th Sept and you need transport to go any where as the road can get busy and the are no paths. This site is well worth a try we will use it again.
This was the second visit to the site in 6 weeks but this time the weather was a little better but due to the excessive amout of rain we did get a little water logged the the second week was a lot better but unfortunately the swimming pool was closed so we could not take advantage of a nice cool dip but apart from that we had a good week. The site is well looked after and clean the showers are first class being quite tall I found that they were very good and did not have to stoop to get my head wet. The take away food was good from the shopon the couple of occasions that we could not be bothered because of the rain in the first week. I feel that we might well return to the site sometime in the future
Firstly, we agree with much of what has been said about this site. Wonderful location, facilities immaculately kept, and very friendly staff, well-stocked shop (reasonably priced), and pretty good take-away food. However, we were victims of our horrid summer, and our review takes this in to account.
The site was busy (bank holiday weekend), but it never felt cramped. Plenty of room, and a good play area for kids, and it was always easy to use the showers/loos/washing up facilities without having to queue. We didn't use the pool, but it looked great- even in the rain!
We were allocated pitch 79, and whilst it was a reasonable-sized pitch, it had obviously suffered too from our so-called summer. When we arrived it was blowing 40/50mph winds so it took almost 2 hours to get the tent up. They had flattend it out as much as possible, but it became increasingly muddy/squidgy under foot/canvas. Pitch 70 is also in the shade for MOST of the day, especially at this time of year so it didn't really have any time to dry. Perhaps some prolonged better weather would have helped, but we thought the pitch was almost unuseable after a couple of days, but we didn't relish the thought of packing everything up and moving, and it probably wouldn't have been possible due to it being a bank holiday. You can book your preferred pitch if you do so far enough in advance, and if we return, which we probably will, we will make sure we do that.
Our 16-month old daughter enjoyed herself too, and slept through the nights. The site really quietens down as darkness descends, and this was really nice. Sadly, the weather meant that she couldn't really run around/play on the grass.
We are generally hardened campers who will suffer the weather, and were considering staying on for a few more days, but everything became too wet.
In terms of what to do locally, Tregarton is really well situated. We hired bikes at Pentewan, and there is a great trail along the river to St Austell or in the other direction to Heligan.The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a few minutes' drive, and of course loads of beaches close by. Do visit Lobbs Farm shop at the entrance to Heligan.You will drool at the food, and although a little pricey, it has a fabulous butchers/delicatessen. Falmouth is also easily accessible. We took the ferry from St Mawes across Falmouth harbour- a much nice way of getting to Falmouth rather than driving.
In summary, there are big pluses to this site, and in good weather would be magical.Maybe next year it will be different!
We were at Tregarton Park at the beginning of August, the weather was okay for most of our stay, when it was wet, the site did not show any signs of water. Around our tents the ground was just damp.
The pitches are very big, we have an Outwell Maryland XL ( Big Tent ) and there was plenty of room to set up our seating area outside and Park our cars ( Our friends had the neighbouring pitch ).
The Dog walking area was adequate. The shower & washing facilities were very clean & well maintained, no complaints at all, the site staff were all very friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was a great bonus, although we did not use it much. We did play tennis, again the court is excellent, we will use it more next year. The shop had all the basics to get you going. There is an ASDA, Tesco & Aldi in St. Austell [ Not too far ]. I would highly recommend, we have rebooked for next year.
Only Downside - The Beaches are close to the site, but you cannot walk to them without going on the main roads. If you want do some walking, you have to drive off the site and park near the coastal paths. There are no Public Rights of way from the site. But with the site being so good, you put up with these little inconveniences. No Pubs in walking distance either - DOH !

Lovely, quiet, family friendly campsite. Great toilet and shower block, really clean and modern. Lovely steaming hot water. We had a bigger pitch size (they vary) which was great for our large tent + cars. Older kids loved the pool, younger kids loved the play area.
