About Tregonetha Lake
Tucked away near St Columb Major, Tregonetha Lake delivers proper off-grid camping with a refreshingly eco-minded approach. The site's compost toilets and tranquil lakeside setting attract campers seeking something gentler than the usual holiday park buzz, while spotless facilities and genuinely helpful staff make the back-to-basics vibe feel carefully curated rather than roughing it. Pitch your tent on non-electric grass or woodland plots, or book one of the furnished bell tents perched lakeside—all dog-friendly, and campfires are positively encouraged.
The on-site pizzas have earned a loyal following, and those beautiful lake views provide the sort of backdrop that makes evening sundowners feel properly special. It's well-placed for exploring Cornwall's north coast and inland attractions, though some might find the lack of electricity and WiFi limiting if you're not fully committed to switching off.

What visitors say
We loved staying at Tregonetha lake! So peaceful. Mel and Tom are fantastic hosts. Very helpful and accommodating. The energy of the site is so beautiful and the environmental and eco friendly amenities are really special. Everything was immaculate. A great place to explore the surrounding area. Wonderful farm shops and an artisan culture. We’ll be back. With gratitude Tracey and Caroline

Brilliant sire and a beautiful lake with stunning fish, I booked two nights but due to a migraine attack only stayed one, but the friendly staff was above and beyond on point, the facilities are spotless, and the whole site is just peaceful and tranquil. Will definitely be returning frequently

We have just returned from a weekend glamping in the Kingfisher bell tent. It was absolutely fantastic and we had the best time. Mel and Tom have thought of everything and are always just a phone call away! We went fishing while we were there after hiring a rod and bate and had a great time. We are already planning to return next year and will be recommending. Thank you so much 😊
