Why South Cornwall Works So Well for a Family Camping Holiday

Looking for the best part of Cornwall for your family holiday? South Cornwall offers a brilliant combination of beautiful beaches, countryside, attractions like the Eden Project and traditional coastal towns. 

With so much to see within easy reach, it is an ideal choice for families who want plenty of variety without spending their whole holiday travelling.

At Tregarton Park, we provide a peaceful, family-friendly base near Mevagissey, giving you the freedom to explore South Cornwall while enjoying plenty to do back at the park.

Plenty of Coastal Adventures Close By

One of the biggest advantages of camping in South Cornwall is having such a varied coastline on your doorstep. Kids can spend their days building sandcastles, paddling in sheltered coves, exploring rock pools or simply enjoying a picnic beside the sea.

From our park, you can easily reach popular spots including Gorran Haven and Caerhays, while the South West Coast Path offers fantastic opportunities for family walks with memorable coastal views.

Staying at a family-friendly camping site in Cornwall means you can enjoy these days out at your own pace before returning somewhere comfortable and relaxing.

Family Attractions for Every Kind of Day

South Cornwall offers much more than picturesque beaches. The area is packed with places that appeal to children and adults alike, making it easy to adapt your plans around the weather and your family’s interests.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are both within convenient reach, while nearby Mevagissey is perfect for exploring a traditional Cornish fishing village. Families can also discover gardens, historic attractions, countryside walks and plenty of places to eat throughout the surrounding area.

Family-Friendly Facilities Back at Tregarton Park

A great family holiday is not only about where you go during the day. At Tregarton Park, we have created a welcoming environment where families can enjoy their time on site too.

Our facilities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, playground, tennis court, modern shower facilities and a well-stocked park shop. We offer spacious grass camping pitches as well as touring and hardstanding options, with electric hook-up available.

We are also pet-friendly, so your dog does not have to miss out on the family holiday. With Cornwall’s countryside, beaches and coastal walks nearby, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the area together.

A Relaxing Base for Exploring the Best of Cornwall

For families, South Cornwall offers the right balance between adventure and relaxation. You can explore beaches and attractions one day and enjoy a slower day around the park the next.

At Tregarton Park, our peaceful setting in the countryside, with family-friendly facilities and a convenient location, make it easy to experience the best of Cornwall while still having somewhere welcoming to return to at the end of each day.
