Within easy reach of several beaches, Tregarton Park is a large, family-friendly site.
And with its grand, impressive, entrance it's easy to spot when approaching. Upon arrival there's a large area to pull into, and you're immediately greeted by a charming, antiquated reception shop.
After a friendly greeting from the owner you'll be shown to a large and well-proportioned pitch. This is even sited and levelled for you if you wish.
All pitches are easily accessed and separated by hedges or shrubs, so there's no overcrowding. Every pitch also has a 10A hook-up. Out of the 125 pitches, 15 are hardstanding, and all awnings are welcomed. If you own a US RV-type 'van (which may be over 24ft long) you will be turned away. This will be due to the vehicle's weight and the nature of the site's access paths.
For the family, there is plenty to do on site, including a large, heated, outdoor swimming pool, with wide areas of wooden decking and plenty of surrounding seating. There's also a large multi-purpose children's play facility, which is safe enough for even the youngest to play on. A beautifully maintained all-weather tennis court completes the facilities.
If you don't want to be cooking, take advantage of the take-away service.
Out and about you're close to the famous and mysterious 'Lost Gardens of Heligan' and only a short drive from Caerhays Castle, Gorran Haven and the old fishing village of Mevagissey (try a boat fishing trip and catch your own supper!). You are close, too, to Charlestown, where, if you are lucky, you will see some filming taking place. This is a peaceful site, with much to do in nearby areas.
