 At £8. 50 per night for 7 nights this was too good to miss.
Way out in the Cornish countryside, wonderfully quiet and peaceful. A warm welcome at reception and given a package of brochures advertising the local attractions. Given the pitch number and left to get on with it. Grass pitch, not quite level but not too difficult to square up the van. Shop and swimming pool were closed as was early in the season (Reflected in the price). Never visited the amenities so can't comment, but the site was immaculate with ground staff constantly mowing etc.
Children's playground on site. Very pleasant view across the Cornish landscape.
Warning, don't follow your sat nav but note the directions on their website, you could have problems down some of the lanes with a van on tow.
Not an awful lot in the immediate vicinity so it was St. Austell for a supermarket tho' did find a nice pub a couple of miles through the lanes that did a lovely meal.
Mevagissey is the nearest town, tho' have to park on the edge of the quaint town centre and walk in, not good when on sticks but a very interesting place.

This was our first visit to Tregarton and will not be our last. I think it is the nicest site we have ever stayed on. Clean, friendly. Lovely showers and toilets, always clean and plenty of hot water. The facilities are second to none, you could have a great family holiday here without leaving the site. The week before coming to Tregarton we stayed at a CCC site in Devon which cost us twice as much with hardly any facilities. We liked the fact that there wasn't a huge list of do's and don'ts, nobody bothered us at all. We were shown to our pitch on arrival and the offer of help was there if we wanted it.
A lovely place, super views of the sea were a bonus. See you again and thank you for a lovely week.

This is our second visit to the park in late season when prices are exceptionally low. Sadly toilet/shower block badly in need of TLC and perhaps some sort of extraction as floors were always wet and slippery during busy periods. This was a talking point amongst a lot of visitors.
Grass cutting still very hit and miss with lots of cut grass left on roads (as it was on our last visit)
Owners very friendly and helpful and will expertly site caravans for you if required.
Shop, takeaway and swimming pool on site but these close early September.
Park situated in lovely area with many little places to visit as well as large towns.
Nice fenced play area for children at top of park as well as tennis court.
Would visit again if toilet block refurbished.

Management response: Many thanks for your review, may I take this opportunity to respond.
I feel I have had to reply due to your comment asking for "a refurbished toilet block" on the basis of a wet floor. I do feel your comment misrepresents the quality of our toilet block.
Our toilet block had a complete refurbishment, at a cost of £125,000, only 4 years ago. Thanks to the dedication of our cleaning teams throughout the season and the consideration of our park guests over that time I am pleased to say the toilet block still looks and feels like new. The porcelain floor tiles are non-slip and conform to all British Safety Standards. Photos of the quality of our toilet block can be viewed on our UKCampsite.co.uk listing and I am very proud of this facility.
Yours Sincerely,
Robert Hicks |

Stayed at the site for one night as a stop over point. Met on arrival by the owner and given a pitch number. This was a first visit but we were given no information on the facilities or their whereabouts etc.
The pitches are well signed which was good since we were left to find it ourselves. The pitch allocated was sheltered and reasonably sized/level but not much in the way of a view. The site was quite busy, however as it was term time there were not many children about and the other users seemed to prefer to keep themselves to themselves so the site was pleasantly peaceful.
The toilet/shower facilities are good but situated at the top end of the site which meant quite a walk from most pitches and one I found uncomfortable alone at night.

We loved this site, from the ability to book and choose your pitch online to the friendly welcome on arrival this site did not disappoint. The pitches are all large with EHU, none too far from the toilet block. The toilet block was always clean and we never found it too busy even in high season. I liked the fact there was a glass door on the showers meaning that clothes were definitely kept dry! (I do agree with some previous posters that the floor seemed to get very wet and slippery at times. I wonder whether this is from kids running from pool to toilets, leaving wet footprints. )
The pool was lovely, with great loungers and changing rooms and added a lovely Mediterranean feel to the site. The ability to eat food from the cafe at the poolside was lovely too. The kids loved the park, table tennis and tennis.
Overall we feel we have found a real gem of a site, that had a lovely relaxed atmosphere, with lovely facilities and all at a very reasonable price!

Five star site.
A nice warm welcome on arrival. A nice touch was the welcome pack with loads of flyers and info on local attractions. The site is well laid out and easily navigated. We were on pitch 80 which was a bit snug for our Vango Icarus 600 with canopy and windbreak, however there was a large grass area left clear for extra parking and playing so it wasn't a problem.
Toilet and shower areas were cleaned everyday around midday and wardens regularly checked and did extra mopping and cleaning after busy times.
Showers were always nice and hot and I never had to wait, although personally I like to get showered early and miss any queues. The shower cubicles could maybe do with an extra peg or two for clothes and towels.
The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced.
The café was great for snacks and takeaways.
The heated pool was great, nice and warm with plenty of sun loungers and seating.
Good play area for children which did get a tad noisy at times but the wardens closed it at 9pm and it soon quietened down.
Plenty of places nearby to visit. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are well worth a trip.
Overall a very pleasant stay in a lovely area and we'll be back in the near future.

I can only reiterate everything the previous reviewer has said. This is a fantastic site, it feels so safe for children, our 6 and 9 year old loved cycling around the site and met lots of friends in the excellent play park. I found this a very friendly park, people were always ready with a smile or a chat - campers and staff. What impressed me in particular, with so many children around was how quiet the site was at night, the park is closed at 9 which provides parents with a natural curfew and after this time silence reigns! The whole site is immaculate and the pool/cafe area fantastic. The take away and shop were really reasonable. Our pitch (52) was huge and we were not overlooked at all - easy access for the park but tucked out of sight. The local area is lovely and Gorran Haven a real highlight for us, just avoid high tide or you will find yourselves packed onto the beach like sardines - at low tide you will have acres of space with rockpools and perfect waves for beginners bodyboarding. Can't recommend this site highly enough - just make you step out of the shower cubicles to dry yourself, they are operated by a sensor which I accidentally activated just as I had finished drying myself!

Just returned from a week at this site and what can I say. Site very clean and staff very helpful, will even site and level you unit free of charge. Our pitch was the largest I have ever had. Toilet block very clean and shower nice and hot, it also has mop and bucket for your own use. Shop was well stocked and take away was very good and well priced. Pool was clean and nice and warm. The play park was a great hit with our two, the only time they wanted to leave was if we went to the pool. They also have a tennis court on site, didn't use so can't comment. Would we return? Yes, one of the best parks I have stayed on so far

Just back from a week at Tregarton Park. Overall a lively park with some great amenities most suited to families.
Pitches are average size. Most people had space for large tent or caravan with porch or awning + vehicle and a space to sit out, but not much more than this. All pitches are numbered and have nearby access road. Great if it’s wet. There is some useful landscaping between pitches. Ground was medium firm.
We were at the top part of the site near the tennis courts. I hadn't realised quite how near the playground would be but this turned out to be a positive for our children and I could let my 4 year old go in have some freedom whilst watching from afar. The playground was locked up at 9pm which is a good thing but the kids then hang around on the grass next to the playground, sometimes up to 10. 30pm for the older ones. I guess they have to go somewhere. After this time the park was completely quiet.
The facilities are very good with a rabbit warren of facilities in the Ladies (which seems to be a similar arrangement in the Gents, from what I could tell). There were 5 showers in the ladies with mops to clean up afterwards. The showers have glass doors on them giving you a separate area to dry off etc. They are a bit small for taking children into and there are no Family bathrooms at this site which I feel they could address. Hooks were at a premium. There was only one private basin cubicle but an area of 5 basins away from main toilet area, used for brushing teeth etc. The floors were often very wet and extremely slippery. They could do with a large mat at the entrance. A second toilet block would also be useful, though the site was full and there were minimal queues.
There is a path to toilet block, wash up area, shop and pool area where everyone has to funnel up together. It’s awkward if you meet a larger person carrying a load of washing up stuff coming the other way as there is really not enough room to pass! Washing up areas are adequate, though have obviously been a haven for birds at some point as you can see the odd bird deposit in there, which is not ideal.
The shop is quite basic, I was hoping for better to be honest. The usual tinned goods are on offer but we arrived with little food, late on a Sunday afternoon so had to cobble together something. We would have liked some fresh vegetables. There is a well landscaped area where you can sit and have coffee, though the large wall between there and the pool meant there was no view. The pool area is very nice, we only used the pool once due to changeable weather and just being holiday-busy. It is well used and is obviously a key attraction to the site.
The location is nice though it is a little hard to reach. We popped to Porthluney Cove one evening and saw some really big rolling waves. Other places we went to included Charlestown, Mevagissey, Fowey and Falmouth. It has quaint fishing towns in abundance! We went to the Heligan farm shop which was very nice, though very expensive. We considered a visit to Eden, having been before we had children many years ago. After mulling over the near £60 entrance cost for 4 of us (including one under 5 who we wouldn’t have to pay for!) we gave it a miss.
We have enjoyed our time at Tregarton Park. I would recommend it to families but would not choose this site if to visit as a couple.
