🌿 Now open all year round. 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 campsite, 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 25 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. From November to March we offer 5 winter non electric gravel pitches for camper vans, motorhomes and caravans. All camping pitches are non-allocated, so simply choose your favourite spot when you arrive and make yourselves at home. šŸŽ£ 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. šŸ• Wildfire – Lakeside Bar and Kitchen Open daily during our summer season, from mid-July until the end of August. Our very own lakeside bar and kitchen is the perfect place to relax, enjoy delicious food and soak up the atmosphere beside the water. Join us for freshly brewed coffee and breakfast rolls in the morning, or unwind in the evening with stone-baked pizzas, loaded nachos and a refreshing drink as the sun sets over the lake. Summer Opening Hours – 16th July - 29th August 2027 ā˜• Every morning: 8:00am – 10:00am šŸ• Every evening: 6:00pm – 8:00pm šŸ» Weekends: Open later so you can make the most of those lovely summer evenings. šŸŽ¶ Saturday Nights – Live Acoustic Music Good food, great music, a drink in hand and a beautiful Cornish sunset — the perfect way to spend a summer evening! 🄐 Freshly Baked Breakfast Start your morning with freshly baked croissants or pain au chocolat, available to pre-order and collect from 8:00am. šŸ’š 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. 🧔

Access to the woodland pitches is a short walk from the car park, ensuring a peaceful, vehicle-free environment. Wheelbarrows are available to help transport your gear, making it easy to settle into your woodland retreat. You can choose wherever you want to pitch, and charges are per person, with up to 4 people per pitch.

    Beautiful little campsite. Car free camping so just campers and tents on the lakeside field. Everything is so pretty with lots of handcrafted wooden buildings. Composting toilets which are so clean. Great showers and washing up facilities. Pretty lights, new bar area which did morning coffee and breakfast baps. Some lovely glamping tents and woodland area. Pretty walk round the lake and lovely people, Tom told us how he has developed the site with such pride. We loved it so much we came back for a second night and will definitely come again. Recommend!
