## About Carn View Camping

What do you need on a Cornish camping holiday? Access to sandy beaches, long walks on the South West Coast Path and a cider mill close by? Carn View Camping, 25 minutes' drive west from Truro, delivers all of the above and more.

This quiet pop-up site offers breathtaking views over the North Cornwall coastline from well-kept, level grass fields. Facilities are deliberately minimal – water on tap and a portable loo – making this an excellent choice for families after a properly self-sufficient wild camping adventure. Your canine companions are welcome year-round, with a couple of dog-friendly beaches within 10 minutes' drive for runs and paddles in the waves.

For supplies, supermarkets are in Redruth; if you'd rather eat out, there's a pub with a sea-view beer garden in Portreath (both 10 minutes' drive), while the cider mill just five minutes' walk away opens for tastings and proper Cornish cream teas during the day. With mountain biking, watersports and coastal trails all nearby, it's a cracking base for active breaks.

## What visitors say

Kevin Webster ★★★★★

A top class yet simple caravan site in stunning location with superb views over Penzance, Marazion and St Michael's Mount It is as peaceful as can be, always kept in an immaculate condition and ran by the wonderfully friendly James. Thoroughly recommend this place for either a short stay if touring or a longer holiday.

THE Best view of any campsite I have visited in my 20+ years of touring,gorgeous manicured gravel pitches surrounded by immaculately mown grass.Each pitch has its own EHU,Cold water tap and waste water disposal point,”Jumper” James would check us out Dailey to see if we needed anything and gave us useful local info.I can fully understand how this site is continuously booked out and to make sure of our return we immediately booked for July ‘26.Well worth the 280 mile trip down🏆🏆

An excellent location with amazing views and adequate facilities, it would be nice if they had showers and washing up facilities. The owner was very friendly and the site was immaculate. Highly recommended.
