If you are thinking ahead to a family camping holiday, spring 2026 is an excellent time to visit Cornwall. Longer days, milder weather and quieter attractions make it ideal for families with younger children.
If you’re looking for a family friendly camping site in Cornwall, Tregarton Park offers a stunning location that turns a simple break into a proper holiday.
Reopening in late spring on 1st May 2026, Tregarton Park welcomes families and couples to its peaceful, well-cared for park near Mevagissey. Spring is when our campsite not only reopens after the long British winter, but really comes into its own.
Why Spring Works So Well for Family Camping
Spring camping suits families who want to explore without the pressures of peak summer. The roads are quieter, beaches are easier to access and popular attractions are far more relaxed. Children have room to play, parents can slow down, and days feel unrushed.
For many families, especially those with pre-school children, coming in May also avoids the intense heat and crowds. These issues can mean summer breaks feel like hard work. You still get plenty of daylight, fresh sea air and the chance to enjoy Cornwall at a gentler pace.
Tregarton Park: A Family Friendly Campsite in Cornwall
Tregarton Park is a family friendly campsite in Cornwall that focuses on comfort, space and atmosphere rather than noise or overdevelopment. Privately owned and run by the Hicks family, the park is personally maintained and designed to feel welcoming from the moment you arrive.
Each pitch is large, clearly marked out with hedging and shrubs, and never overcrowded. This means children can play safely while parents enjoy their own space. Electric hook-ups are available on all pitches, with a choice of grass or hardstanding, including awning-friendly options.
The park is particularly well suited to families with younger children. The adventure playground is designed with this age group in mind, and the calm, family-only policy helps create a relaxed environment where everyone feels comfortable.
Facilities Open in Spring 2026
Tregarton Park’s 2026 season begins on 1st May, when the park, shop, swimming pool and take away all open together. This makes early May a great time to book, as you can enjoy the full range of facilities without peak-season crowds.

- 1st May – Park, shop, swimming pool and take away open
