25 units · Tents · Porthleven, England

Pop- up site throughout the summer in the village of Breage, just off the A394. Porthleven and Praa Sands five minutes' drive away. At the foot of Tregonning Hill; on a main bus route for easy outings. Trevena Cross Glamping & Camping is strategically placed just off the A394, it's also on the main Penzance to Helston bus route for easy outings. Not that it's all about getting off site: the place itself is rather lovely too, set back from the road surrounded by agricultural land and at the foot of Tregonning Hill (climbs of which are rewarded with views of the south coasts). The pitching area takes up four and a half acres of the seven- acre plot, with guests able to pick their own pitch and numbers limited to ensure plenty of space for all. Facilities have been kept simple here Eco Loo, Wash up area and hot showers. There is free parking on site too (although in wet weather you'll be asked to keep travel through the fields to a minimum). It's a family friendly site with a car free play area complete with a communal toy box. Dogs are welcome to take a break here too, they have a dedicated exercise area where they can run free but you'll need to keep them on a lead in all other areas, clean up after them and generally be mindful of other guests and the livestock in neighbouring fields. There is a small onsite 'essentials shop' for when you've been caught short and can't face the drive to Helston (we're talking really important items that never should have missed the list like marshmallows, baked beans and batteries!). Freezer pack re-freezing and battery pack charging facilities also available on request (subject to a small charge and availability). Those aiming to see Cornwall on foot should be pleased to note that there are plenty of countryside walks around, and lots of lovely coastal spots close by too (Praa Sands and Porthleven are both a couple of miles away, and linked by the South West Coast Path). It's also an easy 5- minute amble to Breage village centre for a top notch pub, a couple of play areas, a post office/ shop and a popular garden centre with a fab cafe.

Weekend Trip to Ryn Gwari Farm

Admittedly we were blessed with the weather at the August bank holiday weekend so we could sit outside our tent and enjoy the fantastic sea views. Rebecca was very friendly and helpful. It’s a great location for walking two days of the SW Coast path. Back to basics amenities were clean and well kept. The hot shower was a little temperamental . We will return 🙂

Although it took us ages to find the place (Apple Map didn't lead us to the correct destination), we had a good stay there. The field is spacious. It was quiet when we were there, probably due to heavy rain!

1 night at FOX FARM MOTORHOME AND CARAVAN PARK

We were met by Lawrence who was friendly and welcoming. There was only one shower/toilet which didn’t cause us any problems but worth bearing in mind during high season. Bigger shower/toilet blocks are being added shortly I believe! The pitches were lovely and private and nicely maintained.
