 We visited this site in May and stayed 9 nights. Its a nice place, clean and tidy, plenty of recycling and waste bins around the site as well as many fresh and waste water points. The toilets and showers are clean and the water always hot. The shop has all the basics but some items are a little on the dear side. The staff are helpful and always polite. Just one small gripe, the place is advertised as being peaceful and quiet, and it would be if it wasn't for the gardner constantly mowing the empty pitches with his sit-on John Deere mini tractor. Now I know grass has to be cut, but please, ALL DAY LONG.EVERYDAY.
The local area is very pretty with some nice little shops in Mevagissy, but if you really feel the need to shop then St Austell is the nearest main shopping area.
We will go to Tregarton again, maybe later this year but definitely in 2009.

Although we went early in the season so the shop and swimming pool weren't open, the facilities were 1st class. We recieved a warm welcome and all staff were very friendy. Clean loos and showers, plenty of hot water when needed. The pitches were well maintained and the free electric hook up very useful for our coolbox as the weather was hot. As we don't have children we didn't use the playground but it looked fun. We used the site as a base for exploring the surrounding countryside. The local fishing port of Mevagissy, 10mins by car, has something for everyone including a free aquarium, free museum, and some very good tea rooms and restaurants. St Austell, 15mins by car, has two 24hour supermarkets. We would recomend this site and definitely go back.

Beautiful site with huge pitches separated by hedges and with banks covered in wild flowers around the edges.
Great children's playground although my two were the only children there. Unfortunately we went the weekend before the pool opens (it doesn't give dates on website so suggest asking before you book) but it looks fantastic. Also shop etc. Still closed until next weekend. Lovely wooden summerhouse with all the tourist leaflets, maps etc.
Lots of water points and bins around although the recycling all has to go to one area by reception. Plenty of toilets and showers all kept very clean (although toilet cubicles a little on the small side - could be a problem for larger people). Showers have shelf in for soap etc and a separate area with hooks to keep your clothes dry. Mop and bucket left out to clean up if you make a mess.
Great views from the top half of the site (on their map this is the bit with the children's playground down to the pitches level with the toilet block). Also note that the bottom half is on a slope so walking up to the toilets could be an issue for some although I have seen much worse slopes and longer walks.
Freindly site owners who let us go and chose a pitch. They even gave us the numbers of the ones they didn't need the next day so we didn't have to rush off!
Hardly any road noise (one of my pet hates when camping) during the day and none at all at night.
The only problem we had was that there is no separate tent area which meant we were surrounded by caravans with hook up who spent all evening watching television. This completely ruined my evening as my reason for camping is to be able to sit and enjoy the quiet (unless on a UKCS meet of course). I decided the morning would make up for it but unfortuntely the people next to us couldn't exist for a moment without a TV and turned theirs on again at 7.30 the next morning.
No pub in walking distance but plenty at Mevagissey and one at Gorran Haven. Great sandy beach at Gorran Haven and large car park £1 all day (may be more in season). Beach cafe but didn't notice if any toilets as we didn't stay long enough to need them. Half way between site and St Austell is a large caravan/camping shop which has everything you could possibly need except for the one thing I forgot (cheap mugs). The junction at St Austell has a McD and Pizza Hut and there is an Asda and a Tesco close to those.

We spent a lovely week here, what a bargain, we got it cheaper as it was near the end of season and it was the best holiday we had this year.
Beautiful park lovely scenery, friendly staff, great pitch, very clean showers. The pool was nice and clean, shop limited on stock but did nice grub reasonably priced. Near to the beach by car, well worth a visit if you like it peaceful and scenic and the weather was gorgeous that week lucky for us would go back again sometime.

Went here towards the end of August, the site was nice, great shop which does hot food on site. The toilet block is large and we rarely had to queue for showers and it was clean. Their pool is lovely too. The site is on a slope, though the pitches are pretty level - but we were at the bottom of the site so the walk to do the washing up was a bit of a hike with our bowl! The kids play area was a good space with all sorts of bits for the kids to play on. The staff were helpful. It is near the Lost Gardens of Heligan, we took the boat to Fowey which is nice, and there is a lovely sandy beach at Goran Haven which isn't too far to drive. We would go back and had a lovely time.

It is rare in this country of ours that a true bargain can be had, however at £50 for 10 nights (inc electric hook-up) this site represents one of my bargains of the year. The fact that the site is lovely, peaceful and everything that others have said, makes it a remarkable place to stay.
Worth a quick mention however are that half the site slopes down towards pitches 99, 98, 97 etc, although the pitches are on the whole level. It does mean a steep walk to the facilities for those less firm. Also out of Summer you lose any sun you might be enjoying, quite early down there. It might be a little remote for some, there is no pub within easy walking distance, although a 3 quid taxi will take you the 1 1/2 miles to the nearest hostelry. My biggest gripe however was the attitude of the man who takes care of maintainance. He hit the side of my parents van so hard, in relation to a waste pipe that had popped off that they were convinced it would be dented. His manner was at best gruff at worst downright rude. Somebody needs to have a word with him and remind him he is in the service and tourist industries. This I am at pains to point out is in complete contrast to the rest of the staff who were completely charming, friendly and helpful.
My parents wouldn't hesitate at going back, I would think twice only because it was a bit remote for me. £5 a night for a late late break is very tempting though. Ah what the hell? Where's the phone?!

Just returned from a 5 night stay. The site is in a great area, close to some lovely beaches - Caerhays national trust beach (2.5 miles) is wonderful and allows dogs all year round and out of season we had the whole beach nearly to ourselves. Gorran Haven also close. The site itself was very quiet amongst farmland. On arrival we were taken to our pitch by a friendly chap in a 4x4 who pitched and levelled our caravan for us. Some pitches are slightly sloping. The dog walk was useful, however its purely a dog 'area' rather than a walk and if you have large energetic dogs this may not be sufficient for lots of exercise. The showers are near the entrance to the park. They were always very clean, although I would say they could do with some updating they were adequate and hot. The shop was closed which was a bit of a pain having to go out in the car all the time for groceries as there was no nearby shop. To sum up we would definitely recommend this site for families as it represented excellent value for money (especially in the summer with the pool/tennis courts and shop open), in a great area for touring Cornwall with friendly owners.

We have just got back from a week at this campsite and were very pleased with it
The shower block was very clean and although it had only 5 showers we never had to wait for one.
The swimming pool was great for kids and adults with seating around the outside to sunbath the only down side was it shut at 6 and when it was hot another hour would of been good.
The shop and takeaway are very good and the food was fantastic (all freshly cooked)
All in all a fab site that we would revisit and recommend, with lots to do and see around the area .

What a great site, helpful and friendly owners, spacious pitches surrounded by hedgerows, clean shower blocks alongside a laundry room, the pool is basic but clean and warm and is surrounded by decking with seating.
There is a useful shop on site with a takeaway, Mevagissey, Goran haven and St Austell are only a short drive away, a visit to Caehays beach is also a must. All major routes are easily reached which is handy for those day trips out, and if you have an LPG car, you can fill it up at the caravan dealership in London apprentice which is half way between Tregarton Park and St Austell.
I would recommend Tregarton Park particularly if you have children or a dog. We will book into this site again for 2008.

We picked two of the best weeks of weather of the whole summer. That was pure luck.
Picking this campsite had nothing to do with luck. After a lot of research and reading these reviews we booked for the last week of July / first week in August.
Let's not mess about here, this site is phenomenal. Large pitches, quiet and relaxed atmosphere (even when the site was full), a magnificently warm pool, friendly and helpful owners and a well stocked shop. The tennis court has obviously been a rather expensive investment, as it is quite superb. Book early for the court to avoid disappointment! A big plus for us was that there was no "bar" or "club" and no "games room" either. This ensured really quiet evenings. Lovely! The children all congregated at the well equipped play area or rode their bikes/scooters round in the evening after a day round the previously mentioned splendid pool.
All other facilities were to a high standard, being both clean and highly functional. We loved the fact that either Barry or Rob (the owner and his son) did a quick check round the site EVERY night just to see everything was OK. They would stop and chat to some and it just felt like they actually cared that everyone was having a good time. I cannot imagine this happening at Pentewan Sands holiday park (down the road) as it is completely packed and impersonal and looks like Hell on earth as you drive past it on the way to St Austell.
The electric hook up was great (one for each of the pitches) and the supply never faltered once. There are extension leads available from the shop if you pitch your tent further away from the electric point than your lead will stretch (as stupid boy here did!). I do believe they have thought of everything!
The food on site is all freshly cooked to order, tasty and well presented. It is not too expensive either and well worth a try on those nights when you really can't be bothered to cook.
While we were there, we went to the Lost Gardens of Heligan- 3 miles ish- and were really impressed. Take sturdy shoes as there are some taxing hills. Attached to the gardens is Lobbs farm shop. Great meat, excellent veg, a small fish stall and bread, buns and cakes. Well worth a visit.
We also went to the Eden project. As a technical achievement, it is stunning. As a way of relieving you of your "hard earned", it is unrivalled. As a day out, it is mediocre. No doubt there will be people who disagree with this, but hey, that's what we thought of it. (see if you can spot the 11,000 volt electric substation as you walk round this "environmentally sound" site!)
Mevagissey is pretty, Caerhays beach is great but crowded and St Austell is a nightmare to get into at any time of the day. The shipwreck and maritime museum in Charlestown is well worth a visit, as is Caerhays castle.
If you want a family holiday (we were 2 adults and a very active six year old little boy), you should read no further and just book this site. It is no wonder that it gets booked up early!
I cannot stress enough how good this site is. While we were there, we booked for next year! It's THAT good.
Don't think about it, don't hesitate, BOOK IT NOW!
