  • Peaceful Cornwall site with direct access to the South West Coast Path
  • Perranporth, Porthtowan Beach and Truro within 20 minutes' drive
  • Trevellas Cove and St Agnes village within walking distance
You can’t get much closer to Cornwall’s craggy north coast than at Blue Hills Touring Park: this friendly family-oriented site has direct access to the South West Coast Path and is just a few minutes’ walk from dog-friendly Trevellas Cove. Cornwall’s coast is obviously one of its great draws, but the region’s countryside is just as fine – and you’ll be able to admire some of that glorious scenery from the site too. The park sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with rural views from the pitches and plenty of footpaths nearby for walks (with a well-behaved dog at your heels if you wish). All of this adds up to a rather fabulous setting – but it doesn’t end there, since there’s also the fact that St Agnes village centre is a handy half-hour or so walk away for pubs, takeaways and shops where you can pick up supplies for a barbecue back at base. If it’s not barbecue weather, don’t panic – the site also has a well-equipped kitchen for guests to use. Other facilities on site include a laundry room, a covered washing-up area, chemical disposal and a smart modern bathroom block with accessible facilities. A play field gives space for kids to let off steam, and there’s also a wetsuit dip-and-hang area for those using the place as a base for surfing adventures.

Spitfire electric grass pitch

Liked: A real little gem - such a beautiful location with stunning coastal walks on the doorstep. We only stayed for one night, the first in our new VW camper. The facilities were clean and well laid out but the thing that stood out for us was the helpfulness of the wardens. Unfortunately, the rear windscreen of our camper smashed on an open locker door and the warden could not have been more helpful - he found us a tarpaulin and gaffer tape so we could make a repair that got us through the night and home the next day. We would definitely recommend this site and will be back next year.

Spitfire non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Clean facilities and glorious location. Really enjoyed walking along coastal path to Perranporth and Trevellas

Disliked: Overly strict warden(Simon) who was obsessed with dogs being on the lead at all times, not trusting owners to pick up their dogs' faeces. No workable WiFi, very muddy pitch and extremely expensive £90 × pounds for 3 nights including 2 dogs.

Local attractions

If you’ve come to Cornwall for the beaches, you’ve got two good ones within a 15-minute drive. A vast expanse of sand backed by rocky cliffs, Perranporth Beach (five minutes) is home to the Tunes in the Dunes summer music festival. Porthtowan Beach (15 minutes), on the St Agnes Heritage Coast, is also sandy, with a number of rockpools to explore. Both are popular with surfers. For an insight into the history of the region, you can head to the cathedral city of Truro (20 minutes), where the Royal Cornwall Museum displays local artefacts, plus an eclectic collection ranging from minerals to Egyptian sarcophagi. A twice-weekly farmers’ market is the place to stock up on locally grown produce for the barbie back at the site. At the Eden Project (45 minutes), huge biome domes replicate different landscapes, from a Mediterranean garden to a rainforest. And there’s much more here than just recreated natural habitats, with a lively programme of cultural events, including the Eden Sessions music concerts.
