🌿 Camping Season: 3rd April – 18th September 2026 Welcome to Tregonetha Lake – your little corner of paradise. We’re Mel and Tom, and we’d love to welcome you to our peaceful, eco-friendly camping site, proudly awarded a Silver Green Tourism Award. Sometimes you just need to slow down and surround yourself with nature. 🌿 If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, wake up to birdsong, enjoy beautiful lake views and reconnect with nature, you’re in the right place. Our small, off-grid campsite is surrounded by beautiful Cornish countryside, with a stunning two-acre coarse fishing lake at its heart. Watch damselflies dancing across the water, spot kingfishers and other wildlife, enjoy spectacular sunsets over the lake and spend your evenings beneath some of Cornwall’s darkest skies. Although you’ll feel wonderfully tucked away, we’re perfectly placed for exploring Cornwall. Mawgan Porth is just 9 miles away, Padstow 10 miles, Newquay 11 miles and Mevagissey 15 miles away, making Tregonetha Lake the perfect base for exploring both the north and south coasts. As a Freedom Camping Club Certified Site, we offer peaceful, low-impact camping in a natural setting — no membership required. Camping Tregonetha Lake is home to around 20 camping pitches, so while you’ll have other campers nearby during busier periods, we’ve designed the site to feel spacious, peaceful and relaxed. Whether you choose a lakeside pitch or one of our secluded woodland pitches, there’s always plenty of room to unwind and enjoy nature. All camping pitches are non-allocated, so simply choose your favourite spot when you arrive and make yourselves at home. Fishing At the heart of the campsite is our beautiful two-acre coarse fishing lake, where guests can enjoy peaceful days by the water surrounded by nature. Fishing day tickets are available during your stay. 🍕 NEW for Summer 2026 – Wildfire Lakeside Bar & Kitchen From 16th July until the end of August, we’re excited to introduce Wildfire – Lakeside Bar & Kitchen. Enjoy stone-baked pizzas, homemade loaded nachos, cold drinks and fresh coffee beside the lake while watching the sun go down.

We also offer evening food for campsite guests by pre-order between 5:00pm and 9:00pm. Just let us know in advance and we’ll have everything freshly prepared for you. 🥐 Freshly Baked Breakfast Treats Fresh croissants and pain au chocolat are available to pre-order and collect from 8:00am each morning. A little about us We’ve called Cornwall home for over 20 years and love sharing our favourite beaches, walks, restaurants and hidden gems with our guests. Tom is a keen surfer and is always happy to recommend the best local beaches depending on the weather and surf conditions, while Mel is full of local knowledge to help you make the most of your stay. We’re a small family-run campsite and genuinely enjoy meeting the people who stay with us. Whether you’re here for a weekend escape, a family holiday or simply passing through, we hope you’ll leave feeling relaxed, refreshed and already planning your next visit. We can’t wait to welcome you to Tregonetha Lake. 🧡

Wake up to the sound of birdsong, go swimming before breakfast in the clear water of a secluded lake. Cook your bacon and eggs over an open fire while you plan your day, or just laze it away in the peace and quiet of your own personal tipi. You can always go fishing tomorrow, and walk along the cliffs the day after that… The site is a unique woodland valley folded around a clear, spring-fed lake created from the old Tregildrans Quarry. Our tipis and tent pitches are dotted about this secret 20 acres full of ferns, bluebells, oak and meadowsweet. Left in peace for many years there's been no modern chemicals or poisons on the land, meaning we've got bluebells, dormice, Red Admirals and shy woodland Jays for you to spot. It’s a place set apart from the rush and clutter of the modern holiday experience, with an atmosphere that makes you forget the world outside, and just lounge, ramble, or potter about in a boat. We're committed to giving you a genuinely individual service from first contact to your time staying with us. We established CTH in 1996. This was the first and we believe still is the best tipi holiday site in the UK. We know our area inside out and can always help with local knowledge or contacts if you need them. We want to offer our guests a sustainable holiday. A return to real camping means the lowest possible impact on the land and environment - our tipi poles don’t even break the surface of the earth. Your footprint while here could only be bettered by a survival expert. You don't have to fly! a major bonus, and we source all our wood, fish and canvas locally and work with local people wherever possible.

Centrally located yet quiet, secluded and flat two-acre meadow with 9 large grass pitches each mowed for privacy within natural wildflower borders. Clean and well looked after composting toilets, hot gas showers, fire pits, free scrap wood and a quiet woodland to immerse yourself in, next to the stream. Mushroom Meadow and the adjoining woodland are nestled at the bottom of our picturesque 50 acre family farm - with the stream at it's southerly border. Access is via a long farm track (about 750m) and is clearly signed once you arrive at our farm. The numbered pitches are thoughtfully spaced across the entire meadow. Perfect for those who like lots of space and for children who like to run free. An ideal West Cornwall location (10 min drive to both North and South coasts) - you can walk into our village of Praze and Beeble to visit the local pub, village shop or famous Philps Bakery for all your pasty needs!

Absolute gem of a campsite. Beautiful setting, calm, clean & quiet. Stayed for 4 nights - most relaxing campsite I've ever stayed at. Lovely bar, serving some local produce (Cornish Gin!) with the added bonus of live acoustic music on the Saturday evening. Breakfast & pizzas - very tasty! Thank you Mel & Tom 😊

10/10 perfect campsite, the views and sunsets are unreal. Perfect for family's with smaller or older children, facilities are always spotless, fire pits off the ground are allowed (slabs provided to protect the grass) large flat pitches and only a 10min walk to the beach (not ideal for older or non mobile humans) if you like body boarding head to the beach if you like to swim and snorkel head to the cove. Kate and her husband are amazing host's, they know the local area like the back of their hand, perfect little supply shop on site. We'll definitely be coming back.

It was a great stay with good, clean and looked after facilities. The pitches are big, with unlimited extension into the field so there was plenty of space for pitching up. A great little shop for essentials, easy access and the location is within waling distance to St Agnes.

Weekend Trip to Elm Farm Camp, Cafe & Cycle hire

Everything was just brilliant, the team were really friendly, the camping area was very spacious, the showers were a fantastic size, none of that shower curtain sticking to you rubbish! The eco toilets were the poshest ones I’d ever seen and if you’re a cyclist there is a great bike shop to keep you on the road. The burger and the cider that I had were also amazing and really reasonably priced. Considering I booked it purely down to price and being vaguely where I wanted to be, I was amazed at the great value for money and would definitely book to stay here again!!

I loved the set up and facilities at this camp site. Everything was well maintained and very clean. Charging points for phones, wet suit buckets, hot showers with plenty of space dressing. Lots of space for children to play, and for a relaxing time. Straight onto the coastal path and lively walks to beaches straight from the campsite. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful views of the rugged Cornish countryside. Felt very safe for my children to run feral. Good walks near by. Nice walks to beaches and town. And short car journeys to other beautiful beaches. Facilities nice and clean. Kate was very friendly and helpful. Definitely hoping to camp here again for longer. Thank you for having us.

Great camping site, we stayed in the quiet corner and loved it. Location is excellent as we could walk to the village and to the beaches and did not have to drive the whole week. Absolute bliss. We fell in love with Trevellas Cove! The campsite has all the facilities you need. We enjoyed it a lot!
