  • Friendly and family-run rural site 10 minutes' drive from Helston
  • A natural wildlife habitat with plenty of space to play
  • Pub within walking distance; two miles from Praa Sands beach
Ah, that old Cornish dilemma: coast or country? If you conclude that a bit of both would be quite tremendous, take a look at Tremorvu, a friendly, family-run place that’s got both distant sea views and eight acres of rural space to play with. The peaceful fields here are bordered by hedges that encourage the local wildlife to hang around; pop your head over the top and you’ll be looking north towards Tregonning Hill or south to see the sea at Praa Sands (two miles away). Grab a glass, put your feet up and face west at a suitable hour and you may well be in for a spectacular sunset to finish the day. Within those hedges are plenty of space to strike up a barbie or campfire while the nippers and hounds run about. In peak season, a small shop opens up to sell local eggs, milk, bread, bacon and other essentials, plus the occasional homemade cake. Other supplies can be picked up at the supermarkets in Helston (10 minutes’ drive), and there’s an excellent pub 15 minutes’ walk away if you’d like a little stroll before your drinks and dins. Working up an appetite for meals shouldn’t be too hard… there are walks, bike rides, surfing, watersports and beach days all within a few miles, and you’re also in a strategic position for days out at St Michael's Mount, St Ives, The Flambards Experience and heaps more Cornish faves.

1 bedroom camping pod (deluxe)

Liked: A lovely location despite the weather, a very cosy and well equipped hut with lots of mod cons. Loved the log burner no chance of getting cold, hot shower, full kitchen and the owner left milk and bread which was a really nice touch. We could park the car close and the beds were comfy. I would stay again.

Disliked: Nothing it was a great stay.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely rural location just 2 miles from the stunning Praa Sands Beach. Arranged thoughtfully into four separate pitch fields you don't feel like on a huge crowded site and distances between pitched perfect. Showers and toilets super clean and hot water abundant. Very warm welcome from Lee. Will be back

Shepherd's hut (no pets)

Liked: The shepherd’s hut was beautifully kitted out with lots of lovely items included in the rate, which in some places would have been charged as extras. It made us feel pampered and special. The hut was very comfortable and very private, whilst not being too far away from the other guests.

Local attractions

Stretch those legs out and get your boots on – there are heaps of fab walks nearby. Traipse up Tregonning Hill (half an hour or so) for tiptop scenic views and then carry on to the National Trust’s Godolphin Estate (an hour’s hike) for gorgeous garden walks. (Top tip: the grounds are particularly ravishing when all the bluebells burst to life in May.) You can stroll by the sea too should you wish, using the scent of salt air to point you to the South West Coast Path, a mere couple of miles away. You’re never far from a stunning beach in Cornwall, either: the top choices round here are Praa Sands (10 minutes’ drive) for sandcastles, swimming and surfing, and the little secluded cove at Rinsey, just a little further east. For kayaking and paddleboarding, plot a course to Porthleven harbour (15 minutes). Pack yourselves into the car and you’re within easy reach of all sorts of day trips: St Michael's Mount (15 minutes), The Flambards Experience (20 minutes), the Cornish Seal Sanctuary (25 minutes) and the galleries of St Ives (half an hour); you might also consider going all the way to the edge at Land’s End (40 minutes).
