About Porthtowan Tourist Park

Porthtowan Tourist Park sits just outside the village, offering 29 electric grass pitches and 22 fully serviced hardstandings for those touring Cornwall's dramatic north coast. The shower and toilet blocks earn consistent praise for being spotlessly maintained, and there's a thoughtful wetsuit wash area that surfers and beachgoers genuinely appreciate. On-site coffee, milkshakes and crepes provide a welcome treat after a day exploring nearby beaches and coastal towns.

The friendly staff here are noted for going the extra mile, whether you're pitching up with dogs (welcome throughout) or need a hand with practicalities. With electric hook-ups across all pitches and complimentary WiFi, it's a straightforward, well-kept base that works particularly well for families wanting easy access to Porthtowan's surf and the wider Cornish coastline.

What visitors say

We booked last minute to stay here just for one night to stop between locations on 13/07/2026. But now we can’t wait to go back and stay for longer. Not one bad thing about this campsite. We were first greeted by a lovely lady on Saturday the 13th who was so welcoming and had a great energy; she provided us with a description of where our pitch was, what the facilities were and where to find them and even let us know about upcoming events in the area she recommended. The site is one of the best kept sites we have been to, the roads and pitches were perfectly even, the grass in perfect condition, and of course what’s very important the showering and bathroom facilities were immaculate! Our pitch was very generous with beautiful flowers growing right by our hedging. We turnt up at about 7pm and the sunset over the tall trees from our pitch (no.15) was beautiful while we were relaxing with the campervan doors open! I could not ask anything more from a campsite! A real star of the show on the morning was the coffee and fresh baked pastries ! We love our coffee and being able to have good quality coffee locally sourced was an absolute win! the gentleman at the shop on site (in so sorry I didn’t get his name!) took his time explaining where the coffee beans were sourced from,how him and his son have taken the time to learn about making the perfect coffee with the attention to detail of colour smell and temperature and allowing me to really be part of the process. He offered us some lovely coffee cups that we could use instead of to go cups and to be honest the whole experience really just shows how if this campsite offer a service or facility, they go the extra mile!! It very much gave of you are going to do something, do it with 110%!! They even offer electric hookup cables/pegs and mallets to borrow if you have forgotten any of the essentials! Anything you can think of they are happy to help, and it really does make the difference! This campsite not only is only 30 minutes from Falmouth, Newquay and st ives roughly so is a great spot to stop over for lots of great locations. We love to stay away with small luxuries and comforts. If that is you- it’s a no brainer!! Thank you so much again to all the staff ❤️

Stayed at Porthtowan Tourist Park for one night and wish it had been longer. The owner was incredibly welcoming and genuinely just wanted to make sure we had the best stay possible — nothing felt like too much trouble, which really stood out. The shower and toilet facilities were absolutely immaculate, easily the cleanest I’ve seen on any campsite. There’s also a games room with pool and other activities which looked great, just a shame we didn’t get time to use it. Overall, a really well-run, friendly place that clearly cares about its guests. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
